Rachel Gilbert Spring/Summer 2011

Lusting over the Emmy Dress!

So sophisticated - Incredibly Blair Waldorf-esque

I wore this dress recently & I'm still admiring it hanging in my wardrobe!

Edgy yet sophisticated

Rachel Gilbert Spring/Summer 2011 Collection

I am loving the latest Rachel Gilbert collection. RG is one of my favourite Australian evening wear designers. Her designs are classic, yet contemporary, & made from luxurious fabrics. I love a bit of bling & RG always has a fabulous array of embellished gowns. Every season she creates the most fabulous sequinned frocks. So far I have two of her lovely dresses in my wardrobe. The first I wore to my 21st a couple of years back & the second I purchased recently from the current collection. I have my 23rd birthday party coming up - perhaps I'll add a third to my collection!

Elie Saab Haute Couture S/S 2011

hôtel de mode favourite - obsessed with splits in long dresses & skirts at the moment!

So sweet

Oh that beading!

Stunning V back & train

Elis Saab Haute Couture S/S 2011

My favourite haute couture designer has to be Elie Saab. Season after season he comes up with the most glamourous yet sophisticated gowns. This collection is everything that I love - lace, beading & sheer fabrics teamed with simple hair & makeup. Loving the colour pallet too. I love getting all dressed up and glamourous - any excuse will do! Right now I'm obsessed with splits in long dresses and skirts and am looking for something of the like for a few upcoming events. I'm well and truly over the mini trend. Nothing like getting a little fashion inspiration from the Paris haute couture shows...

Leopard & Lace - Dolce & Gabbana Summer 2011

 Oh I just love these ensembles!

The perfect LBD!

Love this look - If only it was permissible to wear high waisted underwear & with a shirt in public

Fashion Gone Rogue

Oh I just love this collection. My two favourites combined - leopard & lace in a classic silhouettes. I own a variety of lace items and leopard fur (I've been a fan since I was about 10) but I think a leopard print satin skirt would make an excellent addition to my wardrobe. I'm planning to team it with a crisp white skirt and sleek black pumps for a upbeat corporate look or with a black corset and killer heels for a fabulous night out.
