We’re getting just beyond transition time – it’s May 20th and almost the End Of The World. We’re getting restless and reckless and damn close to busting out our summer clothes and just throwing a jacket on top. Well, you know what? Go for it. If we’ve only got one day left, hell, even if we don’t, bring on your new warm weather purchases. A few extra layers (and some neutral colors) will make it work right now.

Some fashion news we can afford to hear about: Vena Cava for Uniqlo launches tomorrow! The much anticipated collaboration kicks off May 12th, at the Uniqlo in Soho tomorrow with the delicate beauty you’d expect from the design duo of Lisa Mayock and Sophie Buhai. They’ve mixed their soft eye with the technologically advanced and well-priced fabrications of the major Japanese brand.

Diane von Furstenberg descended from the heavens in a gilded chariot drawn by 7 wrap-dress-attired muses last night to deliver the nominees for the 2011 Council of Fashion Designers of America Fashion Awards. Among this year’s honorees, Lady Gaga will be recognized for the Fashion Icon award and Marc Jacobs will receive the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award.

Philip Lim has always seemed to put more effort into his women’s collections and the success of his men’s collections is pretty hit or miss. I think this year he did an OK job, but I can’t help but feel like this collection isn’t complete. Lim displayed a solid mix of classic suits with some newer edgier looks. I like the studded shoes and shirts, but they are such a small random accent to having this collection. I feel like he didn’t fully complete the image he was shooting for. The looks are there, I just don’t think the execution is as pristine as it should be.

Philip Lim strikes again with a Spring 2009 collection that follows in the footsteps of the brands success. There are some great pieces in this collection, but then again it’s Philip Lim and everything is going to be amazing. The blazer featured above is one of my favorite pieces in the collection, and the color palate is awesome.
