Fall 2012 Couture: Elie Saab

The Elie Saab Fall 2012 collection couldn't have been more opulent and glamorous. I loved the gilded colors woven into almost every look and the color palettes of peach, gold and acqua blue, just so gorgeous!  Happy Friday everyone!

The Streets are the Runway: Fall 2012 Couture

The couture shows in Paris always call for the most amazing looks on the streets surrounding the shows - I love the mixture here of lace, florals, and vibrant summery colors. I hope that everyone has a nice Saturday, it is going to be another scorcher here in the city which is making a current project (I will share it with you as soon as I am done) that I am working on very difficult, oh well, the beach is calling my name anyways!

Giambattista Valli Fall 2012 Couture

 The couture shows have officially begun in Paris. I love how these collections create the ultimate dream of fashion.  Here one of my favorite designers, Giambattista Valli creates a bouquet of floral prints that lead into rich colors of deep forest green and rich burgundy in the most amazing ruffly silhouettes.
