Elie Saab Paris Fall Ready-to-Wear 2012

Posted on March 13, 2012 | Leave a comment

It´s fair to admit I have an obsession with Elie Saab, especially the evening wear.  The Paris runway was no short of fabulous.  Elie Saab has bypassed the ´oversize´look and went straight for shaping a women´s body: showing off that hourglass figure that we all strive for. 

Favorites:

Color blocking!!!

I LOVE this fur coat-dress thing…it looks beautiful and WARM at the same time.

Wow!!! I am not the hugest fan of velvet, even though it´s trending for fall, but this…I would wear it in a heartbeat.  The combo of the velvet with the glittery top just works.  And the fact that it´s pants (a jumpsuit or separates, unsure…) give it this cool 70´s Studio 54 vibe.

Again some color blocking, and the belt gives it a great shape.

I do like this coat dress, but I included this pic mainly because I LOVE the shoes.  

Beautiful beige glittery gown, I love the sort of hidden vertical stripes, that plus the belt makes for a great hourglass figure shape.

Paris Fashion Week Feature: Elie Saab

Posted on February 6, 2012 | 2 Comments

I always seem to be obsessed with Elie Saab and last week´s runway in Paris was no different.  The collection was made up of mainly pastels and everything reminded me of something an Ice Queen would wear, totally fantastic.  My favorites are below.

The intricate beading, low cut neckline with ribbon belt makes this dress an understated, sexy look.

This is so beautiful.  When I become an Ice Queen someday I will wear it!

This dress has a Japenese kimono vibe to it, I adore it.

Oscars: Best Dressed…and Worst Dressed?

Posted on March 5, 2011 | Leave a comment

I was thrilled this year to be able to view the Oscars, in English, in the USA!  It was great to be able to see it all go down in the motherland.  See below for fashion highlights.  (PS Was James Franco stoned the whole time…?)

My number one favorite look this year was the Elie Saab worn by Mila Kunis…it´s trendy, classy, fashion forward, elegant, graceful, and sexy all at the same time, which is pretty hard to be! And normally I don´t even LIKE lavender.   AMAZING!

Michelle Williams looks amazing in this Chanel…simple, and totally elegant. Love her hair too, she really pulls it off.

I also loved this silver Calvin Klein Gwyneth Paltrow wore.  Her singing left me bored but the dress is to die for!

In general I saw A LOT of red…ahem up and coming color?! See below

Anne Hathaway in Valentino

Sandra Bullock stands out in Vera Wang

Now I am not sure if I love this dress or not, it´s by L´Wren Scott…but I do have to admit Penelope looks HOT for just popping out a baby like 3 weeks ago!  But it´s a big Las Vegas showgirl, no?

Umm I´m sorry Jennifer Hudson when did you lose 100000 pounds?!  I liked you before! Now your ta-tas look a little funny…in this Versace….

FINALLY I would just like to say that I LOVE this dress and oh lord do I LOVE these jewels…by why the HECK were they worn together?!   Her dress was by L´Wren Scott and these jewels…well let´s just say the Cartier combo was wellllll over the one million dollar pricepoint! Why ruin the two by mixing?!  This girl needs Rachel Zoe STAT!

Finally I´d like to end with Natalie Portman wearing Rodarte…I don´t HATE her dress, I wouldn´t say worst dressed…plus I know she´s pregsies but really? Is this really a ´Best Actress´appropriate dress? I think she could have done better in her tutu and swan makeup!
