7. Anyways, I've been meaning to write about Bottega
Veneta's FRTW collection for some time. But I can be lazy
at times and for some reason kept putting it off.
I decided to check out BV because of a few ads I saw in
Vogue (and Glamour, I think). My favorite featured this
beautiful apron-like dress the color of lemons... Okay,
not lemons, maybe mustard? Ah, who cares, it's one of the
above images (by the way, the image quality for the scans
are low because I don't want to take up space; their five
times bigger on my computer). Isn't it cute? It's the type
of dress that I would want to wear everywhere; to work,
school, the beach, a funeral.

The review on style mentioned a Hitchcock vibe and they're
absolutely right (at least the first part). Tights,
tweed, knitted sweaters, and that sculpted but wispy
hair. I started thinking of vintage Barbie for some
reason. The colors were awesome; hot pink, orange, some
purple-ish colors. There were some blacks and grays and
lace (?). Ah! I need to learn more about the different
fabrics. I just know jersey and cotton. I especially loved
the latter part of the collection where it looked more of
lace layered on different colors. Made me think of
Pollock, hence the painting.

If I ever land a job, and after taking care of bills, I
would buy one thing from Bottega Veneta (and it'd
probably be that lemon-colored dress).
The above were just some of my favs, the rest can be seen
on style.com.

8. text alignment is a bit off 'cause I copied and pasted from my notepad. Will try Word next time.

9. Also need to figure out how to keep the images the same size that I have them on my computer... I usually load them up being 400 pixels wide (the height doesn't matter)

10. Testing is a failure... but figured out how to save posts as drafts
