Birthdays and Bucket Lists

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This birthday, instead of making up a wish list of material things that don't matter, I decided to write down my bucket list. Because experiences hold far more value than any shoe/bag/ring or other sparkly things ever can.</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgagP14gbhxek5h1GVGXkDTKPvimbooqom68uE31tkv5LFRszNXAQB4tc6VqHwiepqppPzlsC29knrhCoxouRHygZhXYa2GqrI4cIm7WCT-I2PswsqDUOT8Js4C0SB7s43SsLk9c2SVa0pt/s1600/bday4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgagP14gbhxek5h1GVGXkDTKPvimbooqom68uE31tkv5LFRszNXAQB4tc6VqHwiepqppPzlsC29knrhCoxouRHygZhXYa2GqrI4cIm7WCT-I2PswsqDUOT8Js4C0SB7s43SsLk9c2SVa0pt/s640/bday4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>On My Bucket List...</b></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">* Work at a fashion magazine. It may not be obvious on this blog (hahaha) but writing about fashion is my greatest passion, I'd love to live that dream. Do you remember in the movie 'The Devil Wears Prada', everyone tells Anne Hathaway's character Andy, "A million girls would kill for this job"? Well, I am one of them.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">* Volunteer at an animal shelter. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have a love of cats and all things furry, and this </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">is something I've wanted to do for ages. Unfortunately there isn't a shelter near where I live, so starting one here would be even better.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">* Take creative classes - anything from art to origami, photography, floral arranging, tap dance (seriously, I've always wanted to try it), </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">cooking and cake decorating.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I truly believe that you will never what you like or what you're good at until you try everything!</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">* Visit the magical city of Prague. It's been my dream destination since I was young, I even started a 'Prague Fund' while I was in school. I want to immerse myself in the glorious historical architecture and bohemian streets of this enchanting city.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">* Attend the couture shows at Paris Fashion Week, especially that of Elie Saab. The designer gowns are spellbinding on-screen, but to truly appreciate the exquisite craftsmanship, I would love the opportunity to see them up close. </span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">* Master another language. I tried French while I was in school...only to find that I would need some sort of nose-and-throat operation in order to properly pronounce the words. So I'm thinking maybe Spanish, as it's one of the world's Top 3 most widely spoken languages.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">* Learn to make authentic home-made Italian pasta in Florence or Tuscany. Pasta is my staple diet, so it would only be fitting that I learn to do this.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">* Publish my series of children's books. I have yet to find an illustrator for them. I had written the series a while back, I just need to muster up the courage to show them to a publisher.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">*Audition for SA Idols. I think this would be a nerve-wrecking, pulse racing but nevertheless exciting once-in-a-lifetime type of experience. I know that I don't have a snowball's chance in the Sahara of making it past the first round. But you never know, I may stand a chance at winning the highly coveted wooden mic award (for the worst singer of the season). </span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Aim high, Shoot Low ;)</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">* </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Switch lives with Elena in '<a href="http://frillsandthrills.blogspot.com/search/label/The%20Vampire%20Diaries">The Vampire Diaries</a>'.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Okay, so I must admit that this one is on my things-that-will-never-happen-but-a-girl-can-dream-anyway list. I don't even know a thing about acting. But Nina Dobrev has <i>the</i> best job in television series. She gets to play two completely contrasting but magnetic characters - the sweet, lovable Elena and feisty Katherine; and she has the unconditional, eternal, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(and literally) </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">undying love of both Damon <i>and</i> Stephan Salvatore. A role made in TV heaven, don't you think?</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you're also celebrating your birthday today or in February, wishing you a wonderful one!</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>P.S</b></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of my best friends read my bucket list yesterday and decided to help me out on my last wish. It may not be the real-life Stephan Salvatore...but it's a good start! Thanks Ms Mocha, That's what I call a really great friend :) Most Thoughtful Gift Ever! </span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /><br /></b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVA2H3pID1e28V8U-Zqnvs3yZcv6f7WOVzECxDiXqmn6jgISDAzdZgigaAw_ykun-1hwsQCNRn8NC-YNy_q61yLPZiu1M8_NLKMRNiiWpQtqeN4yTKTcoROVoRo9Pmoj5hRtRk2XZTVk6A/s1600/stepahn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVA2H3pID1e28V8U-Zqnvs3yZcv6f7WOVzECxDiXqmn6jgISDAzdZgigaAw_ykun-1hwsQCNRn8NC-YNy_q61yLPZiu1M8_NLKMRNiiWpQtqeN4yTKTcoROVoRo9Pmoj5hRtRk2XZTVk6A/s400/stepahn.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span>

Who Wore Chanel Better?

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Who Wore It Better?</span></b><br /><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Chanel Fall 2011 Dress</span></b><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In my fashion coverage of the SAG Awards <a href="http://frillsandthrills.blogspot.com/2012/01/divas-and-darlings-sag-awards-2012.html">yesterday</a>, you may have remembered seeing British actress Emilia Clarke wear this black and white dress by <i>Chanel</i>. It wasn't the first time we've seen this feathery gown. Zoe Kravitz wore the same dress 2 months earlier.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQqpx5nLt46XGyU_-XkiFwwaWrz2kwWFEko04B-naff5coSIRYTE8ta-mLkUZHleIVFdf5cu6QplSszUkQswSTAZZYsKJovKt9GJxDEw45l7w97P8M64vdH2mrc3n0vvGPSYaHoQY6_ui6/s1600/wwib.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="462" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQqpx5nLt46XGyU_-XkiFwwaWrz2kwWFEko04B-naff5coSIRYTE8ta-mLkUZHleIVFdf5cu6QplSszUkQswSTAZZYsKJovKt9GJxDEw45l7w97P8M64vdH2mrc3n0vvGPSYaHoQY6_ui6/s640/wwib.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Left:</span></b> <b>Emilia Clarke</b> wore the Chanel Fall RTW frock to Sunday's Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles (29 January 2012). The '</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Game of Thrones' actress looked charming in the organic cotton and voile dress, which has a fully feathered black skirt. Emilia's dress features a leaf-motif waistband.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Middle:</span></b> <b>Zoe Kravitz</b> wore the same Chanel dress on the 30th November 2011, to Unicef's Snowflake Ball in New York. She omitted the belt from the sculpted white bodice, which has a high collar and puffy shoulders.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Right: </span></b>Latvian model <b>Ginta Lapina</b> wears the dress on the Chanel Fall RTW 2011 runway, paired with black lace-up boots and sheer hand gloves. A very girly-grunge look. </span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUlq51obHwh-dpG7JilpapXICMp-P1utCqhDdUFlI0y4sFXwXgLvrsDbFoRVyROL3IuTffFDok50Q7SY96nwgBu5VGei3yKiEXzRy_mKtF-auM3x6odBDzs_AV6OkAu-V9xFq4dKr7Poi9/s1600/wwib2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUlq51obHwh-dpG7JilpapXICMp-P1utCqhDdUFlI0y4sFXwXgLvrsDbFoRVyROL3IuTffFDok50Q7SY96nwgBu5VGei3yKiEXzRy_mKtF-auM3x6odBDzs_AV6OkAu-V9xFq4dKr7Poi9/s640/wwib2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Both girls wore their look with a strong red lip colour. You will notice that the black ruffle detailing along the sleeves are different on each dress. Emilia's is tucked in, while Zoe's features an outer ruffled trim. Emilia wore her hair up in a loose upstyle and Zoe kept it clinical in an edgy tied-up bob.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Who Wore It Better? </b></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I prefer the dress with the waistband so my choice is Emilia. She makes it look demure and ladylike. Also, I can't get past Zoe's mullet-fringe hairstyle. What are your thoughts?</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span>

Paris Couture Fashion Week 2012

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Paris Haute Couture Week 2012 officially opened it's doors on Monday to world class designers and stunning supermodels, displaying an array of exquisite clothes. This is an updated view of some of the most impressive collections.

Glistening dresses seemed to be moulded onto the models, with sculpted corsets, extended hip flounces and rounded strapless necklines. Subtle metallics paled in comparison to the striking shades of tangerine, yellow and lime. High pony tails and smokey eyes completed the glam-warrior looks. I wished for more pizazz, less shine.</span></div><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>Chanel</b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCulLJVQ5tekHbYrD774zNg4YbdZb7eVF3Tvzn_Bge9mV7fSKwbKPwbemJEPHYyX9dUX3GeLVkDJIfvI_LGRbo9aHQbs1wxWWZ-5OpVqiXIzPY5ef8r9kCRumYJ9EMPM1gTok7PX9_jJop/s1600/couture3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="452" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCulLJVQ5tekHbYrD774zNg4YbdZb7eVF3Tvzn_Bge9mV7fSKwbKPwbemJEPHYyX9dUX3GeLVkDJIfvI_LGRbo9aHQbs1wxWWZ-5OpVqiXIzPY5ef8r9kCRumYJ9EMPM1gTok7PX9_jJop/s640/couture3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Azure skies to starry nights - every shade of blue was represented at <i>Chanel's</i> 2012 Couture showing. Models in faux mohawks and fascinators walked down the aisle, set to look like the inside of an airplane. Tweed dress suits in powder blue, drop-waists and pocket seamed shifts with high cuffed necks, a scattering of blue sequins that shimmered like the sun on an ocean wave. Longer length gowns were displayed in midnight blue and the palest shade of blue chiffon. A couture take on air hostess outfits - if only!</span></div><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>Giambattista Valli</b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzdNVV9yd4pRKy6WgZ1VuUemkrxd7cSdOcrYGEewlVIIu0GwJoSsdy3cFs8UY3gZOBuEtqoVjZROO4KC38kxd5XqttwPoIAbVE5pPnaHdl-ibk6gyMO7-8UXeXkvBoTuZiEUiAEiqJAuzq/s1600/couture2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzdNVV9yd4pRKy6WgZ1VuUemkrxd7cSdOcrYGEewlVIIu0GwJoSsdy3cFs8UY3gZOBuEtqoVjZROO4KC38kxd5XqttwPoIAbVE5pPnaHdl-ibk6gyMO7-8UXeXkvBoTuZiEUiAEiqJAuzq/s640/couture2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Giambattista Valli</i> Couture show expressed sensual femininity: cream and black sheer lace dresses, petal-smothered skirts, sequins, satin and bows. I can picture someone like Olivia Palermo in the feathered frock, pictured second on the top row. Splashes of raspberry red, plum and fuchsia stole the scene with billowy evening gowns. Models wore elaborate floral headpieces, cohesively fitting in with the summery floral print gowns.</span></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>Christian Dior </b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYp3uBniR4Foce8-LXICeHsQ4YjR1Dpoez6XEa6FT4UsRKOl0SWjOho95tcrDl7ueAraSEluhZN3t2Oio1pC-DF323HNlzgeUxtwoDRj3bYUkZOZpn8-zp1SSQk0To_U3pnIoA-zuRj-uu/s1600/couture4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYp3uBniR4Foce8-LXICeHsQ4YjR1Dpoez6XEa6FT4UsRKOl0SWjOho95tcrDl7ueAraSEluhZN3t2Oio1pC-DF323HNlzgeUxtwoDRj3bYUkZOZpn8-zp1SSQk0To_U3pnIoA-zuRj-uu/s640/couture4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i> Christian Dior's </i>Haute Couture collection brings forth vintage-inspired shapes, from the swanky 50's to the more opulent Victorian era. A-line dresses were embroidered with floral designs, while pencil skirts were seen in houndstooth and grid prints. There was an interesting juxtaposition of 'heavy' sheerness. Layers and layers of see-through tulle were skillfully constructed into dramatic gowns with sizable skirts. Ruffles are certainly having a moment.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>Armani Privé</b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQl-6drW-v_8DN_yFQRnuuMmfXus9PJq4djDeDONg4X0XbEUslCrQn9LUf_zHkmaY_ggGkth0RPbSEsovQfMiWs7BlPZlheDQmRbGLCCtHNwgL-C48L080Rk3u7OzEYYwpjtjtEIyPLMBE/s1600/couture5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="452" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQl-6drW-v_8DN_yFQRnuuMmfXus9PJq4djDeDONg4X0XbEUslCrQn9LUf_zHkmaY_ggGkth0RPbSEsovQfMiWs7BlPZlheDQmRbGLCCtHNwgL-C48L080Rk3u7OzEYYwpjtjtEIyPLMBE/s640/couture5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Blue was to Chanel as green is to <i>Armani</i> this Couture season. Viridescent shades of green illuminated the striped catwalk, bringing with it chic reptilian-like jackets over mesh shirts and folded silk skirts. The under-the-sea extravaganza continued with a blinding neon gown rolled in sequins, graphic prints unfolded to reveal an inner black bodice, multi-layered mermaid gowns wrapped to resemble seaweed and a conspicuous shade of chartreuse which will ensure that <i>this</i> is an Armani range to be remembered.</span></div><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>Stephane Rolland</b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAEdyqssNGLlGgBFodi3yGnoqspIax2IuAiPs_oSphFw9vicpDSE7yR992EQveynrdWnaUwjBvLQ7Q7o869WZ9SIkwSYZvaay0X4RFXEm61qG0tP2n6YGleiJCbtoEqZpsvfnN1xamidWQ/s1600/couture6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAEdyqssNGLlGgBFodi3yGnoqspIax2IuAiPs_oSphFw9vicpDSE7yR992EQveynrdWnaUwjBvLQ7Q7o869WZ9SIkwSYZvaay0X4RFXEm61qG0tP2n6YGleiJCbtoEqZpsvfnN1xamidWQ/s640/couture6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Stephane Rolland's</i> Couture collection is one of my favourites from all featured in this post. Because he reimagined the basics, creating avant-garde designs and innovative silhouettes. Exaggerated origami-folds, geometric cut-outs, gold metal panelling, unfurling ruffles and architectural shapes. He chose to express these spectacular designs using a simple colour palette of black, white, red and lime green (which has been quite popular so far). Beautifully draped gowns swept the floor in silk jersey, gazar and organza. A masterful collection with an aura of confidence and allure.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>Valentino</b></span> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvfyNak9rJolnFnzwmC9EjGWYcBDPzskozcFjLdMZy-o9i1Ycz43LK5j-Aujo1FGuwlvbSemJtZoBYtKq-0vPp41_30IX78jyk2hkQqWxDUzt4-BK65x8FAJvyhqPAM8jPqUBGnb6x3MVl/s1600/couture7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="452" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvfyNak9rJolnFnzwmC9EjGWYcBDPzskozcFjLdMZy-o9i1Ycz43LK5j-Aujo1FGuwlvbSemJtZoBYtKq-0vPp41_30IX78jyk2hkQqWxDUzt4-BK65x8FAJvyhqPAM8jPqUBGnb6x3MVl/s640/couture7.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There was a feeling of regal antiquity surrounding <i>Valentino's</i> Spring Couture collection. If modern monarchy existed today as it did in the 18th century, I can imagine that this is what real-life princesses would wear. Prim white-to-ivory knee-length dresses, woven from the finest cotton and latticed lace. Feathery light floral frocks, demure as can be with high-frilled collars and sheer organza sleeves. A range that charms with it's maidenly grace.  </span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>Zuhair Murad</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnifIoyjAbm7QjmARP8A9JB0m_pfDYh3Yq7JcxAKhPkPR19t4hBZEtuDP11cVNd8UYYgLFBAXjzqKQEleHj7quFlEhJX8SxaJSrH-R6rrW_nE-mfGjYHSGlvfYgZ-25lmbl3_W65IBTLTn/s1600/couture8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnifIoyjAbm7QjmARP8A9JB0m_pfDYh3Yq7JcxAKhPkPR19t4hBZEtuDP11cVNd8UYYgLFBAXjzqKQEleHj7quFlEhJX8SxaJSrH-R6rrW_nE-mfGjYHSGlvfYgZ-25lmbl3_W65IBTLTn/s640/couture8.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Zuhair Murad's</i> Couture collection is 'glitzy as charged' for Spring 2012.

Taylor Swift Rocks in Rodarte for Vogue

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Cover Girl Taylor Swift</b></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Vogue US February 2012</b></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There isn't a persona Taylor Swift can't play. She has portrayed many different types of characters in her music videos and for magazine shoots, proving that she is adaptable to any style. The 22-year old</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> shows off her versatility once again in the February 2012 issue of <i>Vogue</i> magazine. Taylor is transformed into a 70's style Rock Star for the shoot, photographed by the legendary Mario Testino. Interestingly, Taylor wears focal pieces from US design label <i>Rodarte</i> throughout the editorial. It's almost as though this was intended as a campaign to promote the brand, with Taylor Swift as their ambassador.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0Auh3AVKhuD2YigGmLa_eaivA2iQBlWODZQGfLE45YLljLoz6J9mLqxWfoqsASSZqL1X7f5HMhf-H44Vn30XaxueBdLeLJdPYXbnwJCO1U6QWOUJf2LhOdb6EZv6ybpe88ynlLAJQzj7b/s1600/taylor1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="375" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0Auh3AVKhuD2YigGmLa_eaivA2iQBlWODZQGfLE45YLljLoz6J9mLqxWfoqsASSZqL1X7f5HMhf-H44Vn30XaxueBdLeLJdPYXbnwJCO1U6QWOUJf2LhOdb6EZv6ybpe88ynlLAJQzj7b/s640/taylor1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the cover, Taylor wears a purple and yellow hand-knit basket stitch <i>Rodarte</i> sweater with a camel coloured floppy felt hat.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With all the excitement of the Golden Globes this week, there were so many other interesting outfits that were overlooked.

The Yellow Dress Trend

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Trend of the Week</b></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Yellow Dresses</b></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Bright yellow dresses are an emerging trend that have been spreading sunshine all over the Spring/Summer 2012 runways. From New York to Milan Fashion Week, varying shades of yellow have been a favourite with designers.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtiREoSMJj5B0VYhzi7HmaIiNBOZSRySQJh6L3nxT7uUctLK_qBWczoVu8NqLbI7Hk3l-Op9-k4yoxk52nCGukEPW846PxkDVvgRI_WxssIsh6m421jvfUCmYmgzllITN9IwHL5LTTFt3P/s1600/yellow3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="452" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtiREoSMJj5B0VYhzi7HmaIiNBOZSRySQJh6L3nxT7uUctLK_qBWczoVu8NqLbI7Hk3l-Op9-k4yoxk52nCGukEPW846PxkDVvgRI_WxssIsh6m421jvfUCmYmgzllITN9IwHL5LTTFt3P/s640/yellow3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yellow is no longer just a daytime-summer-sundress type of colour. It has streamed over into formal wear, with elegant floor-length gowns in silky, flowing fabrics and sparkly embellishments. Yellow is a colour that suits most skin tones and hair colours, the trick is to find the right shade for you. Brighter yellows looked striking against darker skin tones and on brunettes. Soft, buttery shades flatter paler skins and blondes. If you're not keen on a fluorescent tint, try out a subtle lemonade shade.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Celebrities that Started the Yellow Trend </span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yellow made a vibrant splash on the red carpet this past week.
