Ladylike Never Looked So Damn Fabulous

I am just creating different outfits for the weekend. I am drifting slightly from all-in pastel to bright colour and muted colours. I am taking things to a different level with elegant dresses and a touch colour. The second creation adds different styles: Ladylike, mature woman and rebel (L-R see third outfit). Will post some more later. Take a look and let me know what you think.


Outfit 1: Ladylike (glamour)

I am super excited by these designs to the point that I'm actually "speechless". I came across them yesterday on facebook and I will make it a mission to interview some of the designers behind this genius creations. As you can see, the designs and material are African inspired and totally mind-blowing. Think of "giraffe, peacock, myths about mermaid's" and other creatures. You can see this on every single design. Enough description, check them out........

 This is called "Psychédéliques" meaning a altered state of awareness. I call it an altered state of creativity. I mean look at the craftmanship. Totally awesome!
 This is truly a "graphic statement". It is show-stopping and very arithmetic. I sure remember my rectangles and circles.
What is this? Can anyone walk in this one? Oh yes..Lady Gaga. It's really interesting because some of this designs have been out well before Gaga (from 1990+). Shocking!

I love this number. Pink is a great colour when you see it in such as classic way. Flamboyant and interactive!

OK I am not sure which one is my favourite now, but I can tell you this design has taken over my soul :) Focus on the design below (very carefully and you shall feel the same effect).

Valentino at Beverly Hills

Valentino flagship store finally opens in Beverly Hills today. As you would expect many A-listers attended to witness one of the most influential design house in the history of fashion open in the kingdom of glamour. These are my favourite looks and a definite SS trend. I name them......

Tribal chic
Louise Roe in a maxi-skirt, grey-shimmer blouse and snake-skin clutch. She looks effortlessly glamorous but comfortable too.

Italian glamour


Nicky is wearing one of Valentino's famous leather dress. Her shoe narrows her legs making them look like pins. Great choice of clutch bag. Looks like the wavy hair is back this season. Well done!

Extrovert


One of my favourite stylist Rachael Zoe in a Zebra print dress. Very Extrovert, won't you say?
The top widens her shoulder and the waist-belt slims her waist down making her look talker and of course, elegant. Well done Rachael! Love the make-up too.

These are my favourite looks from the occassion. Do you have any to share?

What is it about optical illusion dress?

I don't really understand the fuss. Everyone is wearing it, even Amy Childs latest collection has a piece of an optical illusion dress. Apparently, the dress gives a more je nais ce quoi to the female figure. So why is Kim Kardashian wearing it? She doesn't need any je nais ce quoi.
