Ok i admit it.  I’m a sucker for beautiful things.  I get mesmerizes when i see really beautiful clothing.  Like i have to have it right away.   If i can’t have it like this collection of Marchesa Fall 2010.  I would have to just endure it by staring at the collection until i get sick of it.  Which i really doubt.  It is so beautifully made.

Every women on earth wants to look beautiful and these are definitely dresses that will make anyone gorgeous.  This got to be on my top five favorite collection for 2010.

Everybody is buzzing about the 23 year old Wes Gordon collection, Oscar de la Renta and Tom Ford’s intern.  I love the whole collection.  I hope we will get to see more of his work in the future.

The 23 year old Wes Gordon is attending at Central Saint Martins.  “The collection,” he told Vogue, “was inspired by all the beautiful girls I know or wish I knew, like Lauren Bacall. These women exude a modern elegance, wearing exquisitely tailored clothes with a certain twist and edge — not unlike themselves. My goal is to design pieces that combine creativity and fun.”  One lambskin and wool jacket was listed in the show notes with “Ziggy lame” sleeves — dubbed such, Gordon noted, because “Ziggy Stardust” was playing in the background at the time.  The designer is nothing if not exacting: a pink chiffon dress was all hand-tucked, and the collection’s buttons were “done by the jeweler down the street” because “nothing should be an afterthought.”

I review the entire collection of the Chanel couture spring 2010.  Is not Karl Lagerfeld usual signature black and white collection, is more like silver.  The heart-shaped hair style remains me of Louis Vuitton “the rabbit ears”.

Review by Sarah Mower ” The show was a mix of romanticism, space age, and incredible eye-tricking handwork—as hard to fix in one place as the mercury that seemed to be running through the seams. The clothes ranged from shorts suits to shifts, from frothy, cocooning bubbles to liquid togas. In some places, the embroideries looked like smashed glass or molten metal; in others, jewelry itself became part of the structure: A halter dress was suspended from a crystal choker, and a shoulder strap became almost indistinguishable from a diamond necklace.”

Karl Lagerfeld quote “I don’t believe in avant-garde clothes for a future that will never happen. Fashion is always now.”

Karl Lagerfeld had drawn from his French vocabulary to make a cream silk high-necked playsuit (part classic blouse, part romper) and a dotted tulle shirt with a frilled triangle bra beneath. Thankfully, it didn’t slip completely into the clichés of boudoir (hypersexy is not the mood). That’s because of the more rough-hewn elements—say, a pale blue linen sarong, wrapped like a simple piece of raw-edged fabric around the body—and the incredibly luxurious Fendi craftsmanship.

Is Sunday and i was watching the 2010 Golden Globe Awards.  I always tried to watch it if i could.  I am just mesmerize by all the beautiful dresses.  This year Golden Globe did not disappoint me either.

Although it was raining, but that didn’t stop them.  Most of them carried their own umbrella.

George Clooney gal pal is looking O so sexy in this Roberto Cavalli ads. Model Elisabetta Canalis in Roberto Cavalli’s newly unveiled international underwear campaign. The sultry 31-year-old is featured wearing a bra and panties comprised of delicate black lace and animal print satin, along with high heels and a silk robe bedecked with marabou feathers. She was photographed last November by Mert & Marcus at a private home in London, lounging on an ornate velvet sofa framed by baroque textiles and antique rugs meant to channel a cozy nineteenth-century boudoir.

Louis Vuitton never fail to impression me with any of their collection.  This one is no different.  This season, the design backstory goes, the Vuitton woman has stumbled across a stash of brimming LV heritage trunks (lucky girl!). Inside them is a treasure trove of goodies, many with a 1960’s slant, from a gray fox vest straight out of Love Story and a swingy cape cut from a vintage Vuitton blanket to reverse tweed skirtsuits and stripey handkerchief dresses. And then there are the accessories: tote bags in steel lamé jacquard lined in quilted safety orange, and evening sandals complete with fur leg muffs. The collection may be young at heart, but it’s 100 percent luxe.
