Chanel resort

So I wanted a do a quick review of the Chanel resort collection. To be honest, I wasn't overly impressed with the collection. I felt it had too many things going on, from caftans to crop tops to safari outfits. That said, Lagerfeld did put out some very pretty pieces. I'm completely in love with the plaid top. Definitely wishing that would appear in my closet! (Photos from style.com)

Also, I just wanted to let everyone know that in light of me moving and being super disorganized this month, I'll be giving until May 20th to enter my May fashion competition. Good luck!

Spring Stripes

As you all may know, stripes are one of my favourite patterns (along with florals, of course), especially for spring. Somehow stripes manage to feel fresh every year. I adore the classic white and black stripe, though this spring I'm definitely ready to branch out into other colour combinations as well. These are some of my favourite stripe-y spring looks.

Backstage at Chanel

I love these gorgeous backstage photos from the Chanel show and wanted to share. I also think it's kind of interesting how some of the models even give 'looks' to the cameras backstage. (Photos from gosee.us).

More Couture

Now that I've shared my favourite show, here are looks from other shows that I loved. (Photos from style.com)

Alexis Mabille - I like this dress and think it's very pretty. It may not be the most fashion forward dress we saw at the couture shows, but it's still mighty cute.

Armani Prive - I love the shape of this dress. The decoration looks like a flower or a ride-along alien or something. The colour is gorgeous and there's a hat!

Chanel - I love the 1st black outfit. With the train and the jacket and the skirt, it's perfect! The 2nd outfit is pretty. It reminds me of something a couture witch would wear.

Elie Saab - I absolutely love this dress. Vlada looks like an angel in it and now I want to too!

John Paul Gaultier - I love both these looks, even though they are very different. I want that sequiny sailor top and the little sailor hat so bad. I would wear them the pieces. The other look I am completely in love with, but would probably never wear. But boy would I love it!

Valentino - This dress was by far my favourite from Valentino. If I were to imagine a dress based on the word mystery, I think this would be it.
