I’ve long admired the beautiful work of fashion designer Katie Ermilio. She wins me over time and time with her impeccable taste and tailored looks. Her designs are very timeless and elegant. Her fall 2011 collection, of course, not only meets my expectations, but far exceeds them. I think this is my favourite of hers yet!

“Pretty as a picture, as romantic as a song… Katie Ermilio’s timeless fall collection —in it’s effortless chic way- is suited for the classic beauty in all of us…”i

Don’t worry, your eyes aren’t deceiving you. This isn’t my post from last weekend. Nope, I’m here again baring more gifts in the form of the Valentino haute couture collection. I’m sorry, I just couldn’t help myself. Resistance, as they say, was futile. I’m like a moth to a flame when it comes to pretty dresses that look like they’ve stepped off a cloud. And as I previously declared, this collection is like a fairy tale dreamland. Thank you, Valentino fairy godmother. You’ve made my wishes come true. As if my first photo dump of beautiful backstage and beauty photos weren’t enough, you’re in for a real treat: more! Yay! (Or maybe only yay for me?) The difference this time, however, is that I’ve stumbled upon some incredible backstage photos, and they were just TOO gorgeous not to share. If you thought the collection was beautiful on its own, just you wait until you see it through the eyes of this photographer! Holy cow…

Hello, hello, from your friendly neighbourhood couture fanatic. (A.K.A. moi.) True to form, I’m dropping in to share my seasonal dumping of prettiness from fashion week. My collection of choice this round: Valentino. I looooooove. Or rather, j’adorrrrrre. Absolutely gorgeous from head to toe. Emphasis on the “head” especially this time around, because, hello there pretty hair, crowns and make-up. And everything else too, obviously, because this collection is the master of the pretty with its subtle, shimmering bits; soft, flowing fabrics; pale whites, and muted turquoises and lavenders; and general weightlessness. True to form, the combination of said things equals the path to my heart. Add in some metallics and a bit of a medieval flare, and that sounds pretty dandy to me!

18th June 2011 in Inspiration

Greetings from Down Under! The last few weeks of travel have been such a whirlwind, I don’t even know where to start. I’m having a great time so far, and I have a truck-load of pictures to share once I get a chance to sit down and sort through them. Gosh, it’s been so long since I’ve blogged properly (over a month, going on two!), I fear I don’t even remember how any more. I hope no one minds if I cheat a teeny weeny bit this morning with a sort of “drive by” post. I’m so over-flowing with inspiration and things I want to share that I almost don’t even know where to begin. Consider this my “Today (a.k.a. the last 3 weeks) I’m Inspired By The Following Things” post.
