“Love is much like a wild rose, beautiful and calm, but willing to draw blood in its defense.” - Mark Overby

Betsey Johnson's Tin Can Rose Skirt

This cute skirt is fun & sexy, it can be casual or classy. We can see it worn with a pair of red converse & white t-shirt, or with sheer black top & awesome black pumps.

Beautiful pink ruffle rose dress by Jenny Packham.

Romantic, girly, flirty & sweet, those are the words that come to mind when seeing this dress, the details are impressive & color is kind on the eyes.

Valentino Napa Rose Purse

Valentino for Valentines is what I think when I see this bag! February is not far away.....hint hint!!!

Lips and Fashion Go Together Like Arsenic and My Internal Organs

Some things in life just aren't meant to be mixed. And this is definitely one of those things.

Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Dresses To Impress (Japan) & Triton

Why on earth would someone put lips on a dress? It's not cute, stylish, or even appealing. All it is is wrong.

Zebra Lip bag by Designer Betsey Johnson

Zebra pattern plus large red lips equals disaster in the Serengeti.

Love as a Fashion Concept

Some of spanish designer Agatha Ruiz de la Prada's outfits from her fall 2009 collection are baby diaper bag meets tranny meets 80's child star. Not only is it beyond ever using in a day to day scenario, the screeching colors make you wonder.....about life itself they are so hideous!!

Get a cute dress, have your preschooler paint hearts all over it & then add a vest made out of little heart pillows & lo & behold you get, a designer with a bad stylist, or a bad designer with an even worse stylist!

It almost looks like she saw a decent dress and said, "Let's take it and ruin it by putting an awful vest on it." How anyone can actually wear something like this is beyond us.

We simply love these tights!

We love this eco-friendly bag by Zuss designs. Although not all of their designs are entirely to our liking this cute and original bag made out of bicycle inner tube rubber couldn't help but catch our eye. Why not save the planet and look stylish at the same time?ber

Topic of the Month: Love

http://fashionsociety.tumblr.com/post/1616165727

"Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in the recognition."

--Alexander Smith

Is it too cliché to write about love? Maybe. But the effects are so vast and clearly present in our daily lives that we can't help but express a curiosity of sorts in this elusive subject.

Love in Life:

1. Being in Love

It all seems to start with a look, you can't really explain it, but you spend the rest of the day thinking about it.

The nervous butterflies in the pit of your stomach every time they come near. The wobbly legs and the instant smile that appears every time they walk by.
