Wow Wow Wow

Wow... Rodarte's Spring 2010 RTW show was yesterday and boy were the looks beautiful. But what amazed me more were the shoes walking the runway. These shoes were designed by no one other than the talented Nicholas Kirkwood. Notice the gold nuggets on the heel? Amazing!!! And the way Kirkwood mixed the different patterned fabrics was brilliant!

Marchesa, Marchesa... Lovely

Marchesa has the most stunning, magnificent, flawless evening gowns in existence. Whenever I see a Marchesa gown on the red carpet or on style.com, I am in awe and am also wishing that the dress was mine. Just to slip one of their marvelous dresses on your own body I would imagine would be a dream. Keren Craig and Georgina Chapman, the designers, do a wonderful job designing the masterpiece dresses. Below are some of my favorites from their collections from Spring 2007 to Fall 2011.

Man, Burberry's Really Catchin' On

Jayma Mays from Glee wore a stunning (Yes! STUNNING) navy Burberry Prorsum column dress to the Emmy Awards. I'm really starting to like Burberry. That is simply all I can say.

Zac Posen: Tailor Extraordinaire

Recently, Zac Posen was one of the featured designers on sale at gilt.com. When I first saw these items for sale, I was ecstatic. How often are you able to get designer duds for cheap? When entering the website, I soon found out that these duds were still quite expensive, even though they were marked down hundreds of dollars. But for his clothing it is worth it. Each intricate detail is so pristine, original, uniquely its own. I even had the oppurtunity to meet him. At Saks in Atlanta, Zac debuted his new Z Spoke line to any guests who were interested in meeting him and purchasing the clothing. I happened to have saved some images from gilt.com for my own enjoyment, but also to share with you of course.
Here is a beautifully pleated and draped dress in a striking red. When you have an up close view, you are able to tell that there is contrast stitching in black. Magnificent!

This flirty bubble-gum pink dress is all pleats. And the bows in the back are AMAZING!

Elie bo Belie

While looking at the couture collections on style.com, I came across a couturier named Elie Saab. I had seen his designs before on the red carpet but never thought to look for a runway show. His Spring 2010 Couture show was beyond amazing- very romantic and fairy tale inspired. Many of the dresses were colored as if by watercolor. Here are some of my top picks:
