Well hello! It’s been a few days since my last post. I’m still not 100% in my regular head space at the moment, though that does seem quite small and insignificant considering what’s going on in the world right now. So I suppose I should be counting my lucky stars I’m only suffering a slightly bruised heart. In any case, I needed something extra happiness inducing today, so I decided to break out some gorgeous photos from my favourite from the fall 2011 collections. I originally was planning on saving this and doing a round-up of my top 10 as I usually do, but what’s the fun in always saving the best for last? Embrace what you have in the present because, and to be super duper cliche, life is fleeting; things can change on the turn of a dime, so love what you love now, and cherish these moments in the present.
Onto pretty-overload courtesy of the most stunning Nina Ricci Fall 2011 collection. Yes, please!

Stop the presses. Can we all just take a moment to sit back, ogle, and re-fall in love with the shear beauty that was the Elie Saab Haute Couture collection? Yes, you’ve seen it posted everywhere – it’s entirely possible even your dog has blogged about it. But when something is this stunning, it deserves mountains of praises! So if you’re with me, raise your hand if the storage area in your brain for gorgeous fashion design is presently labeled “Elie Saab” and is filled completely to the brim. If I don’t see a sea of arms waving back at me, I’ll know you’re all lying. And it’s just wrong to deny that every angle and every minute detail of these gowns aren’t head to toe breathtaking with every glance.

Nearly two months after it debuted on the runway, I still find myself daydreaming about that ice-inspired Chanel collection. Perhaps it’s the winter-lover in me, but even after all this time, I’m still quite giddy over this collection and the treasure trove of beauty and little details it holds. I realise this seems very, very out of place now considering the grass is finally turning green and buds are appearing on trees, but I just love the super plush furs, woolly textures, and general Arctic-inspired approach to this collection. Despite the cool colour scheme, and frigid concept, this collection still imparts a luscious sense of warmth and comfort.
