Even though our readers are still enjoying these last few weeks of summer vacation, we're in high gear prepping for Homecoming 2011 (hey, we're Prom Advice--we live for this stuff!). As we scoured through images of Fall 2011 runway shows, we couldn't help but spot several trends that could inspire your look for the big night. --Angel
Champagne Tones w/ Black Accents
Monique Lhuillier Fall 2011
Alone these two colors are beautiful but paired together the combo is stunning perfection. We were especially smitten with this look from FIDM Grad Monique Lhuillier because it's so over-the-top girly.
Fur
Christian Dior Fall 2011
Faux or real, fur was a huge trend on the Fall 2011 runways. It's luxurious and decadent (shamelessly so) and instantly adds a dose of glamour to any look.
One-Shoulder Silhouettes
Elie Saab Fall 2011
We're still in love with this trend and fortunately for us, it remains a must-have look this fall. A long sleeve updates the look.
Orange
Lanvin Fall 2011
Bright, punchy, and dare we say, summery even, shades of orange were popping up all over the Fall 2011 runways. It's the color that says, "Hey, people. I'm the life of the party!"
Feathery Frocks
Jason Wu Fall 2011
Fun and flirty and dramatic--what more could you possibly want in a Homecoming dress? Designers favored feathers for fall either in short, voluminous frocks or full, ballooning ball gowns. Which will you choose?
Separates
Louis Vuitton Fall 2011
The Fall 2011 runways were teeming with knockout skirt-and-blouse combos. We love the look of a shiny sequined or jeweled skirt paired with a simpler (but still fantastic) top.
1920s Inspiration
The Row Fall 2011
Dropped waists, fringe, pearls...we are huge fans of 1920s fashion so we're always thrilled when we see runway looks inspired by the decade. This modern version is such a sleek interpretation.
Ruffles & Booties
Rachel Zoe Fall 2011
The juxtaposition of girly ruffles with edgy ankle boots was a hit on runways and is still a hit in real life. We love the flirtiness of tons of ruffles, but even just a few will still look sensational.
Silver
Zac Posen Fall 2011
Equal parts disco era and space age, we consider dazzling, sparkling, light-reflecting silver to be a style staple for your Fall 2011 wardrobe, for Homecoming and otherwise.
Ballerina Inspiration
Alice + Olivia Fall 2011
There's no better time than Homecoming to embrace your feminine side and with fall's ballerina-inspired pieces it's easier than ever to do. Pulling off the look can be tricky (you don't want to look too precious) so keep the skirt at knee or tea length.
well this blog is great i love reading your articles.

I've been thinking of whether I should re-invest in a mirrorless system again. I sold my Sony NEX-5 after a short while, because nice as the camera itself was, I didn't like the flash nor the lenses very much. I don't think there's a fully satisfying mirrorless camera on the camera for the moment, but I decided to sell my Canon now anyway. The reasoning was that any moment now my 5Dmk2 would be superseded by a mark III, and with that the used price of mark IIs would fall.

The young man filled out his form and sat down with the seven other applicants in the waiting area. After a few minutes, the young man stood up, crossed the room to the door of the inner office, and walked right in. Naturally the other applicants perked up, wondering what was going on. They muttered among themselves that they hadn't heard any summons yet. They assumed that the young man who went into the office made a mistake and would be disqualified.

So, what is a curious fish observer to do? Take pictures of all the fish you see and hope you'll find time to research them later? Go swimming for shore every time you see something new and try to flip through your books without soaking them? Take your iPhone underwater and hope you can (1) get a signal off the coast and (2) operate the phone through a waterproof case? All those sound like a lot of work... and because those are so difficult, most people wouldn't even try. They'd just accept that they'd probably never know what fish they were seeing.

Sometimes we dream of "achievable" visions - ones that are possible if we just turn the crank. Break it into bite size pieces, and work away. Sure, sometimes a bite size piece is a bit too big or slow, but we still make progress.
And, sometimes it helps to long for a hopeless cause. One that is basically impossible - we could never learn all teh skill sets, we are unlikely to get all the talent in the same place at the same time, the cash flow just does not work. Having that unattainable vision allows you to say "Well, X will never happen, but I can do Y, so I'll do Y." And keep plodding forward.
