When I look at Michael Kors Fall 2012 RTW collection I see a lot of inspiration from 1920s-40s Hollywood. I love the skinny belted waists, the use of bright red and metallics, and the mix of lace with heavier fabrics. This man knows how to make a fabulous dress!

Prabal Gurung (pronounced Prub-ble Ger-rung) is a Nepalese fashion designer that has a serious talent for prints and balancing silhouettes. His Fall 2012 RTW collection is incredibly wearable, with beautifully printed skirts and dresses, drop waists, curved shoulders, draped leather and stylized knits. I could wear anything and everything from this collection!

I’ve been on a bit of a blogging hiatus this week, spending much of my time checking out the fall 2012 collections and entertaining Violet. Before I go into my favorite pieces from the runways, I wanted to add these three pics from Zara’s March lookbook, which I think reveals all the greatness that is coming to stores!

I’m kind of flipping out right now. How have I never seen Zara’s kid collection before? Their baby stuff is amazing! I am going to have to get Violet some cap toe and polka dot shoes immediately! I’m also in love with their asymmetrical button downs and mod style dresses.

BURNing

I recently started taking this fusion exercise class called Burn which combines pilates, cardio and weights, and I’m completely obsessed with it now. I seriously never thought I’d say that about exercise!

My good friend Kate turned me on to Burn. She has always been very fit, seen trainers and taken a myriad of fitness classes, so believe me when I tell you that we both agree that Burn is the best workout we’ve ever had (at least since soccer practice and suicide drills in middle school). It’s fast paced and there are a lot of different exercises, so you never get bored, and the pilates spring boards are incredible for stretching and resistance toning. Fifteen minutes into each class I’m thinking “why the f*&$! would I pay for this?” because it’s so challenging, and then twenty minutes later I’m feeling high and happy, stronger and more flexible than ever and can’t wait to go back. The music they play is also an excellent motivator…the XX, LCD Soundsystem, Rihanna, Nirvana.

As a new mom with–quite literally–no abs, it is an excellent workout for getting back into shape and toning your belly. (After my first class I was sore in my abdomen for five days.) And when you have little time to yourself, it’s really nice to have a class that makes that hour worthwhile. Highly recommend it!
