Boy is it cold outside! My ears just about froze off while taking these pictures. It is normally not this cold, so soon. It is like 18 degrees outside. I have to come up with another plan for taking pictures during the winter. As I will freeze if I don't. :) It is also very hard to smile when the bitter cold air blows into your face. Which is why my face is cropped out in the above picture. 

I have several post ideas that I hope to do in the coming weeks. Also I've filmed a video on how to draft an A-line skirt pattern. I just have to edit it before I can upload it on YouTube. :) Today I started working on a pair of 1940s empire waist trousers, but I'm running into a little fitting trouble. Hopefully, I can figure out how to fix the problem soon. :)

Louis Vuitton 2011 Fall/Winter Collection

(This is an edited picture. For I made the picture more modest.)

Now, I normally don't follow all the fashion designers and their upcoming collections. Except for a few like Ralph Lauren. But when I saw a picture of Louis Vuitton's Fall/Winter collection on tumblr, I just fell head-over-heels-in-love with their 1950s inspired collection. And now I am doing my first designer post. Though I warn you, you are just going to get just a bunch of pictures. =)

Not only is Louis Vuitton's Fall/Winter collection vintage inspired, but it features some pieces that are modest! How exciting! Even though many of us can't buy a thing from the collection, we can drool. =)

 1. Black wool pin-stripe top and circle skirt. 2. Stretch wool pinstripe top. Wrap print faille back knot skirt.

3. Wool pinstrip fitted blazer, wool pinstripe top, thick wool pinstripe circle skirt. 4. Print wool chiffon layer dress.

 5. Wool coating double-breasted coat, thick wool top, check wool plaid skirt. 6. Feather filled organza corset dress.

7. Sequined cashmere embroidered knit top, bonded leather skirt. 8. Stretch Cashmere long sleeve knit top, check wool plaid skirt.

There are many more outfits on their site. =) So, which ones are your favorite? Mine would have to be, 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 8. =)

I also created a set on polyvore of my interpretation of their collection.  =)
