Camilla Belle

Celebrity style this week is horrible.  I mean horrible in the sense of too tight, too loose, horrible colors, ugly dresses, a complete nightmare.  However, Camilla Belle always seems to shine in her fashion choices.  She always has dresses that fit, have interesting colors, are appropriate for the occasion, and best of all, she takes fashion risks.  She is quite the fashionista.  Here are her two best looks from this past week.  

Sorry I have not posted too much this week.  I have finals and a ton work to do.  I will definitely post more in the quickly approaching summer!

A-Morir

If you are like me and enjoy wearing slightly ridiculous things on occasion, then this is the post for you.  I stumbled upon this site a-morir.com and they design glasses and accessories for the stars.  We are talking some Lady Gaga glasses, which of course are incredibly original, and in my eyes gorgeous.  Their glasses are very pricey, but a few may be good for a d.i.y. project this summer.  I love this site, it is simply amazing.  Enjoy yourself.

3.1 Phillip Lim Transformable Sleeveless Top

I find it funny to look in my sketchbooks from when I was little and see all of the things I created to find that they have been created.  Apparently, I was years ahead of my time.  The latest creation is this sleeveless top by 3.1 Phillip Lim.  The shirt transforms into a bag; how incredibly convenient?   I love multi-functional clothing, like a shirt that can be worn backwards and inside out, or worn as a skirt.  I like to get use out of my clothes.  I usually do not post too much about Phillip Lim, as I am not a very big fan of his minimalism and futuristic style, but the man seriously creates amazing things.  This is one of the things that are completely worth sharing.  You can buy the top from lagarconne.com.  I want to make one, plus it would be cheaper!

Number Four From the Top!

I get excited about the little things in life.  This is one of those moments.  I googled "Meet Raf Simons," and my post is the fourth link from the top.  This is probably not a big deal but I am still happy.

 -Yep thats me!

Scarlett Johansson in Versace

This dress has such a different shape that compliments Scarlett's physique.  It is a sexy, well fitted dress that is classy.  I like how it is not revealing either.  Perfection!

Meet Raf Simons for Dior

Meet Raf Simons, the new creative director for Dior.  Many of you may know, John Galliano (previous creative director of Dior) was fired over a year ago for anti-semetic comments.  After a considerable amount of time Dior has come to the conclusion of Raf Simons.  Raf Simons worked as creative director at Jil Sander for the past six years.  Sander decided to return to the label, thus making the transition to a new job easier for Simons.  I have to wonder if the transition will be easy, or if we will find a new side to Dior.  I have to admit I am partial to the extreme and theatrical work of Galliano.  His presentations of clothes were modern, girly, yet classic designs which were always unexpected and fresh.  I enjoy any designer who is able to immurse themselves completely into their work and take on a character to truly make a connection.  I look forward to what Raf Simons has to offer, but will also miss John Galliano.  I am happy to say John Galliano is still showing his personal line.  I disagree with his behavior which led to his downfall, but still, I love his designs.  There is a great article with a little more information at http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/.

-Raf Simons

-A tearful goodbye to Jil Sander.

Fall 2012 Ready-To-Wear Jil Sander

Fall 2012 Ready-To-Wear Christian Dior

-Similar to Jil Sander, Christian Dior had very simple colors and basic silhouettes.

Happy Easter Pastels!

I hope that everyone had a very Happy Easter!  Whenever it is spring and Easter time I always think of pastels.  Today, to celebrate the season here is some pictures for your personal pastel inspiration.

Cynthia Rowley Band-Aids

This is one of the oddest fashion posts, or rather just unexpected post I have had.  I never thought I would be posting about band-aids; especially band-aids by fashion designer Cynthia Rowley.  I went shopping today and saw this pretty little box of band-aids and had a bit of a moment trying to grasp the concept that she has designed band-aids.  Normally, designers do collaborations with make-up companies, shoe companies, or department stores.   I just have not heard of a collaboration with band-aids.  I am by no means complaining; I am completely happy with such a different collaboration.  I think it is a different way to get publicity for your clothes, just by simply having pretty band-aids.  You just might say these band-aids might be this seasons hottest accessory.  (At least I think they should be.)

Best Dressed this Week Lily Collins, Jennifer Hudson and Nicole Richie

     Well, it was another incredibly busy week.  I still cannot wait for summer and to be free.  I do have more pictures to show of the creation of my dress (the bow dress).  I have to fix the hem on it though before I share.  I thought the hem was a disaster, but my professor disagreed and said it looked fine.  I was happy she liked it, considering she is the one who is grading it.
     Here are some pictures from this week of three dresses that I absolutely love.  Stars failed at dressing properly this week; other than these three.  Many of them did not match or they wore incredibly crazy things, and not the good crazy that I like.

-Lily Collins in Zac Posen

-This dress is so different, but I really have to say that I like it.

 -Jennifer Hudson (I have no idea who makes the dresses for these bottom two pictures.)  They are both gorgeous though.

 -Nicole Richie 

-I love these colors and print.

Bow Dress

I am aware I did not post on the weekend.  I am almost going crazy and am running on adrenaline finishing this dress before tomorrow.  I just want it to look perfect; and so far, damn I am doing a good job.  I am happily surprised at how I was able to adjust it so the fit is perfect on my dress form.  I was so stressed out and now feel better.  This is still going to be a late night as I have to sew on the bow (pictured below) and do the sleeve and skirt hem.... Oh boy.  I will write more soon, and post more pictures.  Good night, though I still have a while before I sleep!

-It is one heck of a bow.
