Elie Saab Fall 2011 Couture Collection

Wow! Were my first words that came out of my mouth when I saw this gorgeous collection. If you didn't know by now, I am so into white for this season. The D&G Spring/Summer 2011 was filled with white gowns and now Elie Saab is releasing the Fall 2011 Couture Collection perfect for the red carpet or any event you need to stand out at. I love the transition from light to dark on the runway, and how you can tell it's a cohesive collection. I would love to wear one of those dresses, but to where? Above are my few favourite gowns which the collection offered. Check out the rest of the collection on Fashionologie. ♥

I am so in love with D&G's 2011 Spring/Summer white dresses. Not only do they look delicate and feminine, they look extremely chic and smart at the same time. But because not all of us have the cash to splurge on a to die for D&G dress, here are some alternatives. These dresses are perfect from day to night, because the white can make the dress seem a bit more casual, yet there is so much detail to them which make them seem like an evening dress. I would definitely take these dresses on vacation.

CFDA Awards: Best Dresses & Winners

If you didn't know, yesterday everyone was focused on the Canucks vs Boston game while I was focusing on the CFDA Awards!! You can't attend the CFDA Awards without looking amazing!! Below are my favourites.


I always give kudos to the woman that pulls off the perfectly tailored suit. It's so risky, especially when the world expects you to wear a dress. Kirsten Dunst definitely pulls this one off in a Patrik Ervell tux and shirt. It is perfectly tailored. I've seen some people try to pull off this look, but fail. Kirsten Dunst stands out in the perfect way, topping it off with Prada stilettos and Bulgari jewelry.

Lady Gaga is still killing it. She made an entrance in McQueen of course. Now this dress takes the little black dress to the next level. Look at the detailing on it. I would kill to be in that dress. The dress is sexy, elegant, and kills all at the same time. I'm in love. Unfortunately she had a wardrobe malfunction and her chest popped out. Luckily Lady Gaga pulls off anything.

The winners of the night were:

Womenswear Designer of the Year: Jack McCollough & Lazaro Hernandez for Proenza Schouler
Menswear Designer of the Year: Michael Bastian
Accessory Designer of the Year: Alexander Wang
Swarovski Award for Emerging Talent: Womenswear: Prabal Gurung Accessories: Eddie Borgo
Fashion Icon Award: Lady Gaga
Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award: Marc Jacobs

Milin Lookbook 2011

The brand new Bangkok based fashion line, Milin has me lusting over it. It's gorgeous and I definitely would love to get my hands on it for this summer. ♥

Cinema Against AIDS amFa Gala

Top Favourite Dresses at the Gala last night included Kirsten Dunst's Chanel Spring/Summer 2011 Haute Couture dress, and Bar Rafaeli's Roberto Cavalli gown.

I'm in love with the long sheer dress which shows a bit of leg, and the vintage sort of feel to this dress. Although it's has so much detail, yet has a clean finish. Elegant and simple.


I love this dress, I don't think that I could pull it off, but it looks stunning on Bar Rafaeli. It fits her body like a glove. ♥

the white dresses of Cannes Film Festival

A lot of white is all over the place this season and I'm not complaining. It is such a basic colour, with tons of flair yet simplicity and definitely jumps out not only on the red carpet, but anywhere you go. Keep in mind you have to keep in clean in order to look spectacular. These are a few of my favourite white pieces which showed up at the Cannes Film Festival. These dresses definitely stole the show, yet displayed each stars' individual personality. ♥

The Royal Wedding

First and foremost, congratulations Wills and Kate on your wedding day!! Can you believe that even Karl Lagerfeld approved of Kate Middleton's Alexander McQueen gown!? He said it was a "gown of very refined detail, much more refined than the one Diana wore". He continued, " Alexander McQueen's dresses are always elegant. It's very pretty and relatively classic, but that goes with the decor, with a little touch of the 1950s that recalls Marilyn Monroe or Queen Elizabeth II's dress. The lace is pretty, especially the embroidered veil and the tiara is not too high, without too heavy a bun. It's ravishing and the length of the train is perfect".


Well now we know that Mr. Lagerfeld has approved we can all rest easy. Of course I have to mention Victoria and David Beckham were looking quite good themselves. Victoria looked very elegant in her navy dress and her Philip Treacy head piece. Definitely rocked the pregnant look well. ♥

dress du jour: Marchesa Spring 2012 Bridal Dress

This newly unveiled Marchesa Spring 2012 Bridal Dress is splendidly amazing. I don't think I would particularly like it as a wedding dress, but for bridesmaids perhaps! It's so girly and I'm digging the lace. ♥

picture of the day: Betsey Johnson Prom

Teen Vogue managed to get a picture of Betsey Johnson at her prom in 1958. She said she wore petticoats and hoops to get her dress to stick out like that! She wanted it BIG! Would she have it any other way? ♥
