Gowning Around

At the risk of seriously freaking out my boyfriend, I'm posting some images that I saved a while back after trawling through the Marchesa shows on Style.com.

Georgina Chapman creates some of the most beautiful gowns imaginable, bringing in new fashion techniques and trends but still making them timeless and breath-takingly gorgeous. I saved some of my favourites - for future reference, I have a folder named gowns on my laptop which I will keep adding to as I fall for more dresses.

Show me a girl hasn't considered their future wedding dress at least once in their life.

Some of these are more prom or cocktail style put there are aspects of them all that I adore, so inspiration can be taken for many occassions.

Anyway Enjoy these beauties. I put some Dior Couture pieces in at the end too...

Original Images are from Style.com however I compiled these all myself, so please credit my blog if you plan to re-use them. Thank you :)

Spring/Summer's Pastels

Pastels are a huge trend for Spring/Summer 2010 and were completely unavoidable in every city during fashion month. The ice-cream colour palette is so refreshing and dreamy - I'm already looking forward to wearing these floaty girly numbers again. It's nice to have toned down from all the extreme acid bright that we've seen in previous seasons too.

Yes, dark boring colours can hide a multitude of sins and are always 'fail safe', but it's so much more inspiring when people play with colour and pull it off, it shows a lot more creative flair. And who really wants to look dull, in the fashion world especially?
