    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! :)

    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.

    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!

    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!

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

    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.
