The new "Twilight: Breaking Dawn" trailer was released today. Swoon. I am so excited that I can hardly wait. But, wait I must because the latest saga doesn't hit theaters until 18 November. O, the torture. I'm waiting on the longest "to be continued" for what has to be one of the strongest (strangest) love stories I've ever know. And I just can't help myself. How many people actually get to marry their high school sweetheart? I swear the writers are hitting on the fundamental with this story. And what am I supposed to do until then. Watch the drama-filled trailer on repeat, of course. Are you a fellow fan? Not yet? Well, here's what you're missing: http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/twilight-breaking-dawn-part-1.html.Hmm. I looked up and it was NY Fashion Week. But, I have to say it just didn't grab me this year. Well, I thought about it. But, didn't plan like I did last year. I just couldn't feel good about getting into it. Well, really, who am I kidding. I fell for a lipstick, MAC's Scarlet Ibis, from Jason Wu's Spring Collection. The models looked so dazzling with this fresh take on color for lips.
And then my heart went pitter patter when I saw the architectural eyebrows on the Derek Lam models. As I admired the sensibility and ease of fabric and texture, I felt a little guilty. Yes, guilty for coveting when the economy is circling the crapper and natural disasters seem to visit monthly (poor, poor country). Indeed, these are tough times. And it made me stop and wonder about the relevance of fashion. I mean assemblage: the focus on detail. In the end I made peace. I had to. I should be allowed to indulge in the beautiful. I shouldn't feel guilty because this year designers seemed to go back to the basics, the necessary. So far, I've seen lipstick (sans mascara) and garments with simple shapes that translate art.
