Prada Spring 2014

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1x/p1_zpse9926693.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1x/p2_zpsd7f19247.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1x/p3_zps71fb6ccb.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1x/p4_zps7b0f44a2.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1x/p5_zps050730e0.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1x/p6_zps2c5df92a.jpg" /><br />For once here's a collection that I'm not personally coveting; I don't really want to wear my bra outside of my sweater and while the bedazzled leg warmers and coats have intriguing elements it's all a bit "too much" for me. However, the message behind the clothes makes Prada one of most noteworthy collections to pay attention to this season. Miuccia Prada made a feminist statement with her clothes. I can't think of similar embrace of feminism in mainstream culture or the arts scene since the Riot Grrrls of the 90s and Miuccia touched on that creating her own interpretation of girl gangs in the models. The designer stated she wanted to "inspire women to struggle" and it was evident in power-ready clothes half featuring faces that looked like bejeweled political posters. And while it might not be my aesthetic cup of tea, it's a collection no one should be ignoring.</div>

The Horizon Leans Forward

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1x/_MG_1520_zps491a9210.jpg" /><br />I'm a little too overwhelmed with everything I need to accomplish this weekend to get excited about the fact that it is Friday. My friends however are trying to convince me to go with them to a Celtic festival this weekend and there's a birthday party in the evening that I would be remiss to skip, so I suppose it's just time to roll my sleeves up and get the necessary finished so that the social won't be neglected. Typically, I'm one of those people that would rather sit home alone watching Netflix after a busy day than hang out with friends, but since I'm not certain that is the most positive way to live I'm working on fighting my instincts. On the bright side, the weather is beautiful and less hectic days are on the horizon.<br /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1x/_MG_1764_zpsf37d6324.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1x/_MG_1621_zpsad66a18b.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1x/_MG_1731_zps05043e0c.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1x/_MG_1628_zps8d90293d.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1x/_MG_1822_zps82a96074.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1x/_MG_1486_zps9d50c5c4.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1x/_MG_1467_zps2dea8827.jpg" /><br /><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: right;">Outfit details:</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=ZeS/lRslpkc&subid=&offerid=232131.1&type=10&tmpid=3381&RD_PARM1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jcrew.com%2Fboys_category%2Fouterwear%2Fcotton%2FPRDOVR%7E74416%2F74416.jsp" target="_blank">Crew Cuts jacket</a><br /><a href="http://www.minxasheville.com/collections/jewelry-case/products/zodiac-pendant-scorpio-make-pie-not-war" target="_blank">Minx necklace</a></div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://toujours-toi-family-affairs.com/index.php?id=103" target="_blank">Family Affairs blouse</a></div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.laceaffair.com/tonight-is-for-tulle-skirt-in-navy/" target="_blank">Lace Affair skirt</a></div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://rstyle.me/~NOsk" target="_blank">Seychelles oxfords</a></div><div style="text-align: right;">Zara purse<br />*pictures by Jon<br /><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/15904/the-clothes-horse" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Bloglovin</a><span style="text-align: center;"> | </span><a href="http://twitter.com/aclotheshorse" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Twitter</a><span style="text-align: center;"> | </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/aclotheshorse?v=wall" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Facebook</a><span style="text-align: center;"> | </span><a href="http://theclotheshorse.tumblr.com/" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Tumblr</a><span style="text-align: center;"> | </span><a href="http://instagram.com/aclotheshorse" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Instagram</a></div></div>

At the moment there isn't another set of images I'd rather jump into or style I'd rather emulate. Pastel suddenly seems pretty for fall...</div></div>
