Fall 2008 Couture: Elie Saab

I am finally updating with an actual post! I hope that someone finds this. I was looking over some of my past posts and I have come to the conclusion that I am an idiot/loser. I would just like to say, I know nothing. I just find joy in rambling on and pretending like I actually know something. Keep that in mind as you read this and don't mock me (even though I'm making myself quite mock-able).

Here's what I like: Paris Haute Couture.

Here's what I love: Elie Saab Fall 2008 Couture.


I do believe this is taffeta, although, I really can't be sure! Regardless of what this fabric is called, I'm impressed by how untacky both of these dresses actually are! Sure, they're a bit overdone, but, it is couture, after all!

I love the flowiness of the dress on the left and I really adore the color. The dress on the right reminds me of one of those pastel prom/grad dresses I just can't stand. The only difference? I love this one!
The one on the left reminds me of Marchesa and the one on the right reminds me of drapes but I still think they're both beautiful!
I love, love, love this color! The detailing and fit of the dress on the left are quite exquisite and I love the mixture of fabrics on the right.
I am obsessing over the dress on the right! Again, loving the color and the mixture of fabrics!
I cannot decide whether I love this color or hate it. Either way, the flowers on these two dresses are fantastic! I love the tiny flowers scattered on the skirt of the dress on the left and the big flower (rosette, I believe it would be called) on the right reminds me very much of that dress Sarah Jessica Parker wears in Sex and the City. I haven't actually seen that movie, I've just seen the picture of that dress half a dozen times! Is the movie even any good? It looked sort of silly, but that's just my opinion (cute clothes, though)!

The draping on both of these dresses is quite magnificent (bear with me, I'm running out of adjectives)! I love the details done in that tan-ish color on the left!

Well, I hope I haven't bored you to death! And, I hope that someone finds this! And, I found the most fantastic site on the face of the universe, so, that might just lead to another post!

PS: click on the pictures to see them bigger! They look much better bigger, I must say!

HI!

Wow, the last time I posted was in April - that's rawther amusing (as Eloise would say)! I actually had totally forgotten about this blog until a few days and I decided to check it out and look at everyone else's and write this post and see how long it takes someone to find it. If they ever do. HA! If you do, leave a comment and maybe I will see it in a year, when I decide to check my blog again. Well, that is really all I have to say. I sure do hope someone finds this :]

Keds and Other Flats

Here's what I like: shoes!

Especially flats and especially flats that don't leave nasty ouchies all over my feet. You should really ask to see my feet sometime, they have all sorts of sick scars and scabs from various shoes I've worn. Anyways, these are some of my favourite flats either from Keds or Endless because I wasn't original enough to look on more than 2 sites.

I have been eyeing these Keds by Nanette Lepore Script Skimmers (left, $60.00 USD) for quite some time and am actually considering buying them. I love that they're black and white so they'll go with anything! These Keds by Eleanor Grosch (right, $39.99 USD) are so cute and fun! I tried on a pair with the faux Sherpa lining and they were so comfy.
These flats by BC Footwear (left, $44.95 USD) are so cute and fun! I love the color (they come in 2 other colors, as well) and these flats are also up for consideration! These Freckles flats (right, $34.95 USD) are definitely cute and I love the open toe but for some reason they're just not my favourite.
So these aren't from Keds or Endless but designer shoes are so gorgeous. These Fendi flats (left, $388 USD) are a bit of a gross color but I love the buckle. I love the detailing on these Anna Sui flats (right, $2249 USD), so fresh!

Mellow Yellow.

Here's what I like: yellow.

On the Red Carpet: Naomi Watts in Escada at the Oscars and Reese Witherspoon in Nina Ricci at the Golden Globes.

On the Runway: Chaiken FW07 and Yigal Azrouel FW07.

In the Stores: Diane von Furstenberg ($225.00 USD) and Alice + Olivia ($330.00 USD).

In the Sky: The Sun.

Yes, It Is Me (as of Finally)

Since I haven't posted in a while and I enjoy music I decided to post my top 10 favourite songs (in no order) with links so that you can listen to them! Ha, aren't I sweet.

1. Crawling Up a Hill by Katie Melua
2. Cowboy Take Me Away by the Dixie Chicks
3. Over My Head (Cable Car) by The Fray
4. Heal Over by KT Tunstall
5. Everything is Beautiful by Starfield
6. Trouble Sleeping by Corinne Bailey Rae
7. Do What You Want by OK Go
8. Lonely Girl by Sandi Thom
9. Stand by Rascal Flatts
10. Come Here Boy by Imogen Heap

Well, thank goodness that's over - I was beginning to forget what music I like! Imagine if I had to compile a top 100 list - that would sure take a lot out of me!

So, here is a story for your enjoyment. After school, I was at Dairy Queen (which, you may remember a few years ago I was absolutely addicted to and my parents had to limit the amount of DQ ice cream I could eat) 'cause my mom was doing something else but I didn't want to do something else so I went and I got ice cream. And then, I walked home in the wind, eating ice cream, wearing shoes that basically didn't supply any warmth. And then I got home and the door wasn't completely closed so I was freaked out someone had broken into our house and was waiting to murder me.

NY Fashion Week: Tuleh, DVF and Luella

Note: Because I am an evil genius, I copied my entire post from my secret blog to my this blog for Lacey-Lai because she likes it when I update. For the record, I like it when you all update, also! If you enjoy this post, maybe I will post my posts from that blog onto this blog on a more regular basis. Or I could merge my 2 blogs together but what's the fun in easy solutions like that!? Enjoy... If the pictures don't work, well, terribly sorry. And once more I say, enjoy...

I love New York Fashion Week. Have I ever mentioned that? In keeping with my routine, I have picked 3 of yesterday's shows to post on but let me tell you, it wasn't easy! With shows like DKNY and 3.1 Phillip Lim, I was sad to only have time for 3. But check it all out, there's some gorgeous shows!

Tuleh

"Not every look was a winner, and we didn't totally lose our heads. But love was definitely in the air." -Laird Borrelli

Left, a very pretty color - I'm not sure what it reminds me of but I love it! Right, I also love the subtle hints of gold in this dress.

There's something about the prints and the smooth silkiness of the fabric that looks so good when it all comes together!

Diane von Furstenberg

"As for her collection, it was singular in its focus on dresses." -Nicole Phelps

2 very elegant black dresses. I imagine one would feel absolutely lovely wearing one of these!

Color and print done the DVF way. The dress, left, has such a pretty color!

Luella

"Horses, coming-out parties, Sgt. Pepper military gear—Luella's girls have fallen head over heels for all things proper and British this season." -Laird Borrelli

Rich colors and fabrics played a big part over at Luella.

This gorgeous fabric was common at Luella. Right, what a pretty dress!

Dior Haute Couture SS07

It's been a long time since I've done an actual post. Unless you count yesterday's which was a total of 3 words. Maybe 4, if you want to count the 'Lai' part. And what have I been up to in my spare time? Drawing hamburgers, studying, breaking trampolines -I am so guilt ridden about the whole breaking the trampoline thing that I actually called a trampoline repair place. On the phone. All by myself. This is huge, because, I hate phones. They scare me so bad. Anyways, I'm forcing myself to dish out over a week's allowance just to fix the stupid thing. I'm not exactly in a cheery mood, but, I figured it was time to update. Even though I don't feel like writing. So, I'm just posting pictures. From Christian Dior Haute Couture SS07. It is fashion and it is art and it is beautiful.
