Nicolas Ghesquière never ceases to amaze me.  Each collection he creates is pure gold in my view, and his pre-fall line is no exception.  This time around he decide to go prep, and I love this layered sweater and shift mini look.  The brooch definitely makes the outfit, though.  After looking through the whole line, I think these square tipped booties are my favorite creations.  His shoes are always so fresh and inspiring.

While checking out one of my favorite blogs, It’s Nice That, I stumbled upon the incredible sculptures of Pete Goldlust. His work is really amazing, and I was immediately blown away by his intricately carved crayon sculptures. His installations, which are done in collaboration with painter Julie Hughes, are also pretty cool. To me they look like some sort of extraterrestrial jungle scene.

I don’t know if it’s a new thing or what, but I love how style.com is showing a selection of designer pre-fall collections.  Out of all the collections displayed, Missoni’s is by far my favorite.  With Mary Tyler Moore as it’s muse, the collection features an adorable fusion of mod and preppy styles.  My favorite piece is this amazing short-sleeve sweater, which wonderfully demonstrates the label’s signature knitting capabilities.
