Elie Saab Fall 2010 Couture

I wanted to pull some of the best looks for you from the Elie Saab Fall 2010 Couture collection. The collection is full of dramatic draping, pleating and rouching. Diagonal lines flow through the asymmetrical garments with splashes of glitter and metallic fabric. Moreover, there is a lot of texture in the collection made with the rouching and pleating, but also with fabrics such as velvet and lace. There is some contradiction in the collection with high necklines and high slits on the skirts, but it adds for a dramtic effect. The colors used are very romantic. Intense reds and golds are mixed with soft blues, yellows and silvers.

Enjoy!

Christian Dior Fall 2010 Couture

I am in LOVE with the Fall 2010 Christian Dior couture collection! This collection is vibrant, colorful and full of texture! Flowers must have been the inspiration for designer John Galliano. All of the gowns take an organic silhouette and shape with light, airy fabric. The gowns have interesting necklines and layers of fabric that imitate flower petals. The juxtaposition of the colors is simply intriguing. The contract between the black and the bright fuchsias and yellows is eye catching. To top it all off, literally, many of the models are wearing lightly tinted plastic hats. So maybe this collection is nothing you would wear on the street, but they are all works of art!

4th of July Swimwear!

It's the last day of June (sigh). Summer is moving along quickly, but the 4th of July coming up this weekend! Do you have your best swimwear to celebrate our country's independence in? My favorite place to turn for cute swimwear on a budget is of course Target!

If you are trendy....

...try this asymmetrical monokini by Xhiliration.

If you are tradional...

...try this bandeau bikini by Xhiliration 

(comes with a strap to make it a halter).

If you have a vintage flare...

...try this one piece by Merona with a little more coverage 

and a 1960's feel to it.

If you are an individualist...

...try this gold bikini by Zac Posen for Target. You will definitely 

stand out at the beach!

Also, for a unique look try mixing patterns on the top and bottom pieces with the same color story. 

Tie in the black and white polka dots from the top into these bottoms with 

black and white polka dot trim.

Enjoy!
