Preppy Chic Oscar

good morning! i am loving the preppy chic Oscar recently showcased in his 2011 resort collection. the combination of straw hats, naval stripes and taught corseted gowns has brought joy to my heart. ladies, it's a match made in heaven, him and me...*sigh*

Donna Karen Spring 2010 RTW

it's a little late for a post today, i know but better late than never, right? :)
i'm in need of a dress for the coming wedding months and i have found some inspiration in Donna Karen's spring 2010 rtw collection. full of breezy wrapping and weightless draping, her dresses and skirt suits are nothing short of feminine chic. there is something about Donna Karen's designs that is so alluring--just beautiful! the one above, of course, my favorite!

Gown Friday: Oscar Spring 2011

perhaps saving the best for last, i chose Oscar de la Renta's spring 2011 collection for this week's Gown Friday. and seems his collection has a little something for everyone. gowns with layer up on layer of ruffles and feathers to others with no embellished detailing at all, he has created yet another fabulous collection for all of us girls to covet. oh, and the gown above is just exquisite! seriously, i had to just stare at this one for a while because i love it so. yes, simple but oh so elegant and oh so my kind of dress :) alright ladies, i know some of you out there are looking specifically for one of his designs, so go get 'em and tell me all about it!!

Vera Wang Spring 2011

good morning! it would seem as though Vera Wang has further mastered her tattered-chic look and has created a spring 2011 collection that is artfully dramatic. there were so many of her dresses that were amazing it was hard for me to choose "the one" for the top of the post. in Wang's program for the show, she described the brilliant cascades of silk gazar that seems to be rising upward from the gown above as the "ladder technique". it's so breathtaking and unbelievable i had to pick that one. but all of them are beautiful. she replaced the striking black accents of the last collection with gorgeous soft touches of color--the one shoulder, pale lilac gown below was definitely another stunner. i love this collection!! which one grabs your attention? are her designs too modern for you or are you a Vera lover too? :)
