We are seeing street style starlets in palazzo pants with platforms. Checkered shirts and jeans also made their way past funky bow tie back skirts and crayola-colored type sneakers. Then the real deal arrived: Giorgio Armani lace lounge wear and stunning Gucci embellished gowns appeared in solid red following one of our favorites Moschino Smoking and highly flammable radiant styled dresses. Just as eye-gawking was the reflective showroom of awe-inspiring Jimmy Choo's footwear. No, these stylish soldiers are not just for staring, they are the ready-to-wear next season's hottest feet fashion. Later, there was the oh so romantic Roberto Cavalli with his 70's inspired long jeweled gowns fit for a female ready to rock the night away in darkness and decadence.

A show is a show is a show, but what happens when Fashion Week moves into the ready-to-wear world? Are you really ready to wear heels thin as a toothpick begging you to take a taxi that you've spent your life savings on? Maybe you are or maybe you are not: you decide. Or how about those dresses with sewn in jewels all over your rear - I wonder how it feels to sit on those babies. What I don't want to ponder is watching them dribble off my dress and roll down the long windy staircase of a night club I planned to dance the night away in. Did we forget to mention those dudes stomping down the runway in skirts with cropped tights underneath? Yep they were there too...

What would you wear to say Ciao to Milano?

Enough chat, here's some eye candy:

Occasionally, in the midst of my fashion pursuit, I come across fascinating news and that is exactly what happened to me today! While rummaging through plus size fashion links on reddit.com, my eyes gravitated to an article entitled: "Most runway models meet the BMI criteria for anorexia', claims plus-size magazine in powerful comment on body image in the fashion industry." When I read that title, I admit feeling a bit uneasy because if you are like me, you probably only heard about those three strange letters at a doctors office and forgotten them as soon as you left. Plus, I always associated those alphabetic spews with overweight issues, but here it was in black and white connected to anorexia.

Then it hit me, of course this makes perfect sense, this article is describing those skinny stick figures that we see toddling down the runway! I always knew that they looked unhealthy and could never imagine why designers want them parading in their attire or even why fashioners design for negative sizes anyway.

As I contemplated this a little further, I realized that not only is stick-skinny unhealthy and ugly on the runway, but it also poses a dire danger to the minds of women (of all ages) in our community. Everyday real women (including girls of single-digit ages) are brainwashed into thinking that skinny is sexy and that must be achieved at all costs. This is a fatal philosophy that has gone airbrushed for too long! I want to share this article with you in hopes that you will take it to heart and keep your soul, psyche, and shape healthy, no matter the stereotypes you find in the world of style - because remember there always will be a degree of deception in fashion! Our job is to look again!
