All kinds of observable differences.

Rodarte for Target lace cardigan, Old old handmedown (from my mum!) long sleeve collared Tshirt.

Ok so heres my accidental ebay purchase... Im not even lying!!! I bidded on it days ago not thinking I would win it, then I sort of regretted bidding since it was an impulse bid and I was thinking 'oh shit i actually don't have anything to wear with this!' pls I was thinking it would be totally feminine and stuff like this. Anyways then I sort of forgot about it and then I got an email from ebay saying Id won the item. ooooooops!
Anyway I have it now, and I would be lying if I said I don't totally love it. Ive been sort of dreaming about owning it ever since it hit the American blogasphere (how do you even spell that?) a few months ago.
Truth is I loved the Rodarte for Target collection. I love all the films it references. I love the colours and the textures. Fuck, I just love Rodarte. For reals. And I guess this is the closest Ill get to owning any of the real thing for a way long time so yeah. Plus I think with the right styling (I did just sort of throw this collared tshirt on for the photos, and my battery died before I got to try it with anything better) it will look good on me. Im sure. I hope. Fuck it Im gonna wear it anyway. Wooohooooo.

Just what I needed.

Rodarte F/W 2010, lovely. I was seriously beginning to worry about you, New York.

The beginning of the collection definately presented all my  favourite looks. It makes me want to throw on like 10 random layers and drape everything over myself.

The above pieces were also stand out for me, I just looove the prints, and how floatyness of them while still having the feeling of being wrapped up tight in a warm blanket. I'd like to run through a frosty wood wearing something like this, you know what I mean?

 

On the Style.com review it mentions about how they were thinking about thier mexican heritage for this collection, and I love how theyve translated that feeling. I guess it would have been easy for them to go down some tacky poncho dress route, but instead they were inspired by ideas of traditional craft, and I loves that. I also love the subtle mexican totem eagle pattern on the top left look? Well thats how I translate it anyway?


 

OK, so maybe towards the end of the show there were pieces that might have been filla rather than killa (not the pieces above, Ilovethem), but there was still plenty that I adored so this has definately been one of  the best of NY so far. Like I said before, maybe I just need to snap out of this lull feeling.

Rather Ripped...

HEY! did anyone else think this model in the Rodarte show just had like KILLER Action (wo)Man abs???


No? Just me then... Anyway, three cheers for Style.com detail shots..
