Top 10 Plus Size Lists of 2010

Happy New Year!

I always feel energized and excited on the first day of the year.

The bustle and commotion has passed, the house is filled with the remnants of Christmas yet it becomes satisfyingly still.

My favorite time is to sit in front of the slightly wilting Christmas tree and plan for the year about to begin.  This day holds the promise of many things to come and endless possibilities. 

As I welcome the year 2011, I want to share with you some of my favorites from the year past.

Corsets in Hermes Spring 2011

Exploring the Corset – Day 9


If you are an avid follower of fashion you have probably already seen the pictures from the spectacular Hermes Spring Runway Show at Paris Fashion Week.

If you are anything like me you will never tire of admiring the best of the best from Fashion Week. Enjoy these!

This fashion show incorporates so many things that I adore. The beautiful models dressed in Spanish influenced fashions, walked the runway as majestic horses performed as a backdrop.

Corsets have made a huge comeback this season being shown by many designers.

Hermes head designer Jean Paul Gautier, one of my long time favorites, has presented corsets in a new light.  

He is showing exquisite leather corsets with minute details worn as an outer garment. You can just imagine how luscious they must feel to wear.

Hermes is out of most peoples budget but that should not stop you from recreating the look within your budget and modifying the look to suit your lifestyle. 

I love the waist corset over the fine, sheer floating dress. The combination of extremes makes a perfect match.
   
I was able to meander through Hermes Paris just days before Fashion Week. It was all energized with excitement and the fashion elite in Paris.

The store itself is like a museum.

No where else can you admire handmade saddles one moment and   Kelly Bags the next.

If you have a moment check out the Hermes website. There is some fun stuff there. Click on the saddle photo to see the making of a saddle. Quite fascinating.
