Pixie Dust

Christian Dior's Couture Spring 2013 is so magical and whimsical!

I love all the specs of bright colours dotted over the clothes...

...this adorable bolero jacket teamed with this incredible chic outfit, which includes a bustier with seductive v-neck...

...this beautiful coat, with embellishment that echoes that of a beautiful cherry blosson tree (one of my favourite plants and scents)...

...this gorgeous dress with a contrast of a fitted body and bust, slanting down to a flowing skirt.

 The pixie hair cuts, sophiticated and clean eye make-up, and bright lips also look so prett and chic!

I also love the setting of the vivid green hedges in the background, setting the scene of a woodland that these beautiful pixie models are frolicing in, the whole collection jsut has such a healthy vibe to it.

Dream a Little Dream...

Elie Saab is one of my favourite designers, ever.

I love everything he does, it is just the epitome of femininity, and being the the uber girly-girl that i am, i just drool over all the majestic, sparkling pieces he does, flowing down the catwalk. There is just this effortless combination of old-school glamour and the modern day woman.

His Couture collection for Spring 2013 was no exception, the shapes emphasized the female body beautifully and i particularly loved the sheer parts that exposed just the right amount of skin, giving the appearance that the lace had been spray-painted directly onto the body strategically.

I just want him to deck out my wardrobe in all his feminine magic!

While usually dealing in one tone or colour on a piece, Elie Saab dabbling in some print and pattern which i thought added lovely depth to it, as if it was from a mysterious woodland.

I also lusted over how delicate this material is, like cobwebs with flowers blooming it around it.

I also liked the use of a pure and clean tone of white that was used for a lot of the collection, and am absolutely in love with the baroque, shoulder detail. 

 Valentino also made use of these neutral and clean tones, in conjunction of such detail, as not to overwhelm the pieces: subtle yet intricate, and thought the collection had a beautifully eerie and mysterious feel to it.

Also, these dress shapes by Valentino are so clever and just absolutely stunning!

 As much as I love snuggling up in some comfy knitwear, i am a bit of a summer gal at heart, so all these girly spring collections with more skin showing is making me smile.
