Balmain Pre

 This is the kind of collection that inspires me to work REALLY hard. I am adamant that one day, even if I cannot afford a piece of Balmain, I will at least be working in a role that allows me to touch Balmain.

Pre/resort/cruise collections are weird aren't they?! They never get the chance to strut down a runway (unless you're Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel with the BIG bucks) and can often end up looking like a, gulp, diffusion line.

This Balmain collection really stands out though, it has taken the best elements from the Fall show and sharpened up the silhouette and added a clean, crisp pastel colour palette.

I LOVE this. What do you think? I'm thinking of ways to somehow incorporate elements of this into my look!

I love all the beaded details. I wish I had a bank account that would let me even stand a chance at a tiny piece :( sadly i'm a poor student.
