orange love

Some hot orange fall fashions from

Heidi Merrick.

Will I even be purchasing any fall fashions

this year? It's looking grim.

Note to all, my birthday is in 2 weeks.

Like candy.

I somehow got lost in the PBS Supremes special

yesterday and I ended up completely inspired by

the AMAZING fashions of the Supremes.

These hot orange pantsuits had me completely salivating,

although this picture does not do them justice.

In case you are a fan of pirated asian movies,

I do have a You Tube clip that some odd fellow

took while watching this very 1969 'Someday We'll be Together'

performance. A little on the budget side,

but so worth it to see these outfits and a fifteen

chandelier backdrop in person.

How incredible are these outfits? Multiplied times three

is way too much excitement for me to handle.

And, these ladies have a serious love of the color orange,

mirrors, chandeliers and anything else that looks

like it came from my sister's Barbie mansion.

1969 clearly rocked.

Kicking it up

My dearest Sagey sent me some yummy

photos from the Christopher Kane Spr/Summer 09

Show. Funny, when I first tagged this show for 

a runway presentation I put together last year, of course the 

scallops and amazing armor-like details were 

noteworthy, but I was obsessed with the 

fact that the collection was based around the movie

Planet of the Apes.  Giant ape faces

on tops followed by beautiful dresses, 

delicately scalloped like paper. Amazing

And though I am doing a disservice to the totally

killer elements of the collection, 

I can't help but focus on the Awesome true

orange color throughout the collection. 

Insert here - amazing collection of orange

baubles and photos found on flickr and 

other amazing design forward websites. 

I was just less impressed with images I found

of orange than the incredible  snippits

found in my own life. So, let's get out of this haze

induced by sleep deprivation and enjoy the color 

orange for the day. This is how I am seeing it..

xo sager!
