Givenchy Fall Couture

Another fall couture collection that made me swoon was Givenchy. Beautiful. Just Beautiful. Alll in natural colours of creams, browns and golds in stunning fall length gowns. Just amazing! The model's are styled with centre parted heavy hair, thick brows and pale lips creates a juxtaposition against the luxurious gowns in natural shades. It makes my heart melt. It really does.

Dior Couture Fall Range

So I am back from holiday! Home life is not so shiny and exciting as being on holiday I must say. I was feeling ever so slightly depressed at my looming university workload and the usual back to reality check when I had a look at Dior's Couture Fall range. It definitely cheered me up, inspired by flowers it is could perk up anyones day! Beautiful use of colour, texture and volume to create flower like looks, some of the model's are even sporting cellophane as a head piece, they look like they are straight from the florists.

Après-ski

If it seems I have fallen off the edge of the world recently it is because I have. I am away on holiday at the moment, hitting the slopes, thus the lack of posts. Look out for some ski inspired fashion posts coming soon.

Shoe of the Week:

TopShop PRIMA Sling Clogs, you know you want them.

How To: The Hair Bow

This month's Australian vogue featured Rose Byrne on the cover with her hair in a gorgeous up do shaped like a bow. Here is a great youtube tutorial on how to do it with your own hair rather than the nasty, cheap looking hair pieces that Lady Gaga uses to achieve this look.

On a makeup note: the natural strong brows and minimal eyes teamed with the standout lipstick on the cover looks amazing!

Socks and Heels

Wearing socks with heels or wedges is such a cute look , or when its cold; wearing tights, socks and heels. It gives summer wedges more wear and is really on trend right now. Give it a go!

Pastels

Loving pastels! It's winter in NZ and the uniform of black is taking over, but with accents of dusky pink, greys and creams it makes the cold bearable.

I can't wait for spring

This blog WILL eat your soul

www.misspandora.fr

This is the most beautiful blog by a beautiful girl. Its full of art, fashion and amazing photography. Best of all its french! I have spent far too long on this blog poring over the photos in this blog, but it was well worth it. Pandora has a penchant for saying too little, which intrigues me. Teamed with her good taste, love of art and fabulous wardrobe, you might say I'm in love.

I'd love a trip to Paris *sigh*.

Lipstick - A little bit different:

Emanuel Ungaro is known for use of vibrant colour. The latest show featured bright red and shocking pink lipstick but also a two-tone look of pink top lip and red bottom lip. It looked striking on the runway but I'm not quite sure if I'm brave enough to try! Plus, what happens if you rub your lips together?
