Love the ones at Giorgio Armani and the sequined one at Alexander Wang.

erika sorocco said...

I want the Haute Hippie one. It reminds me so much of a navy-colored peacoat. That Giorgio Armani one is fabulous, as well. I love how swishy the skirt-area looks! :)

WendyB said...

I only like this look when it's form-fitting.

Sharon S said...

Baybay Mama said...

I love that America's Next Top model shoot because I am a nerd about that show. I am not that big of a fan about the blazer dress....although Alexander Wang's is pretty cool. It's too 80's for me.

K.Line said...

I love the Max Mara - the colour and the shape are so modern...

Unknown said...

There was an amazing photo of Lady Gaga like two weeks ago arriving in london in a giant blazer, she looked stunning! xoxo

Larissa said...

I love the colour of the Alexander Wang blazer, and the blazer dress from Marc Jacobs resort collection is fab

Akris and Wang: I'm in loooove !!
I spotted a turquoise version of the red-velvet Wang blazer in Amsterdam BEFORE I saw the show.... now I'm desperate I didn't buy it ! ;D

Fashion Moment said...

Meghan and Lana said...

My favourite long blazers were from Stella McCartney, but my wallet disagrees.

Seeker said...

I love blazers I'm a blazer woman, but those aren't for me.
I will stay with the blazer and pants/skirts/dresses.

But I love seeing them on girls.

I love the all black outfit with the aviators. I'm such a fan of black, and think that black on black is chic and not morbid. LOVE your site, I would love to trade links with you!

shopinchic said...

My favorites are the Armani and Alexander Wang blazers!

Unknown said...

Hey with the t shirt and tank top dresses, it seems only natural that next should be blazer dresses!

Beauty Standard Blog said...

Margiela's and Alexander Wang's are the best! I love the whole blazer-vest-dress style, as long as it's long enough!

Marcella said...

I love this post - so much inspiration!

Amelia said...

This strikes me as such a bizarre trend, but I like the Alexander Wang one.

Char Ruiz Manjarrez said...

Oh I love this trend. I think it was stella mccartneys show where anja rubic was wearing a one piece blazer that looked utterly amazing. xx

Love + Cake said...

Who designed that red jacket-the second photo down from the top, on the left side?

ADORE ADORE ADORE!

Aline said...

this is such a great, classic style

Fifi Flowers said...

I like this one... Albino, via glamourmagazine.co.uk... could I have it in black!
I had to pop back and figured I would peek around more!
I think you should STAY blonde... but do what I'm thinking about since you mentioned red hair... find a GOOD wig! There are some good ones out there! And why stop at red... you can try several colours!
A rainbow of fun!

Trish said...

Love this post! Way to go! :)

Nina (Femme Rationale) said...

this look is just so the epitome of the 80's to me...gotta love it! haha

MizzJ said...

I like how Armani does it, so floaty and feminine, but overall this trend is a bit too 80s and masculine for me.

caroline said...

ahhaha i had no idea you were a size 11 too! yay for monster feet! i hope soon shoe manufacturers will realize that people are only getting bigger which means BIGGER FEET and then we'll have better luck! thanks for the link! i think they have EVERY colour except that pink! i will keep searching- and maybe get another colour because those shoes are hot! have a fab day!

Blazerdresses are just so chic! I honestly didn't realize that Alexander Wang one on the runway, but I think I;m in love with it now. The Ungaro Pre-fall one is just stunning. Sultry but still classy.
