I think I read somewhere in one of the deep tomes I thumb thru that Alice Temperly had been awarded Designer of the Year, maybe my BFF Pippa M told me- while we were getting waxed or taking out mailboxes with a baseball bat- I can’t remember, we are always together, you know.
So let’s have a look at her work, shall we? I issue a serious turban warning for the faint of heart at this time…….
I love the shoulders on this collection and as some of you know, covered buttons make me swoony.
Just lovely, don’t you think? I feel like I could be all sultry and mysterious in this collection. Or perhaps slutty and not too mysterious if I don’t get these lined…..
I can’t leave it at this current collection, I really like this one from Fall2010- check out this jacket! 
Now a 2010 Spring since it’s my favorite:
What does everyone think? Now, Pippa, no monopolizing the comment section, let others get a turn!

Hmm. I actually like all of these. Though—you call that a turban? I’ll show you a turban!
My favourites are the open-shoulder styles.

Its kind of Rhoda-esque headgear…. after all- you can’t issue a semi-serious turban alert, can you?

I like Temperly London alot, she always seems to come up with things that I can picture people wearing in real life – maybe not me, but somebody!

The turban, low neck and loose fabric of the top make me feel like it’s resort wear for some reason, like there should be a bathing suit under there but you want to look nice popping into the restaurant for lunch.
I do like the flowy feel to it. Nice soft fabrics.

OK, I would wear pretty much all of these–minus the headgear, of course. So yeah, I would say this is a wearable win. 🙂

The open shoulder tops are very simple and elegant in their design, with a little edge. Love them, just can’t wear them…

I LOVE these designs. Classic, but with a twist (and I don’t mean the turban!)

The long, lean lines are nice. But I would look like stuffed sausage in any of these right now. Still, beautiful fashions.

I required a large casing, too. Sigh..

I only like the last outfit. The others all remind me of why I don’t like 1930s lounging pajamas. All they need is an extra-long cigarette holder.

Gees, maybe that’s why I’m drawn to it- it’s like Mata Hari beachwear now that you mention it….

The first look makes me channel my inner Norma Desmond. I think I’ll whip something up similar just to vamp dramatically down my split level’s stairs and then try to drape myself glamorously on the microfiber recliner and may need a feather boa for the right effect….. I think I might need higher ceilings to do this right. I can rectify that by calling everyone “Dahlink” and asking for a martini.

I think the Split level vamp sounds like a good book title!
