Versace S/S 2012 Milan Fashion Week.

I'm a little slow on the MFW train, but Versace blew my mind.

For someone who dreamed about becoming a mermaid, the latest collection is close to a dream come true.
I'm yet to see the footage, but it seems like an magically intimate show, with the mood being set by an luminescent glow,
like a light from a swimming pool, which lit up the Via Gesu show space.
And out of that glow walked mythical-like Versace goddesses adorned in seashells and sea crustaceans; seahorse and starfish.

I'm such a dork... I sat there clicking through the pics picturing which celeb or model I would put in which dress
if I were their stylist and the responsibility was all mine.

Bless you Donatella!

PS. Lindsay Wixon came crashing down, not once, but twice, in this show - the poor girl.

PPS. Style.com I adore how you let me know which model is which. Makes google imaging them so much easier!

Wildfox x Jeffery Campbell Collaboration.

Sneak peek of Wildfox 'White Label' S/S 2012.

Wildfox Couture has collaborated with Jeffery Campbell.

And even though I loathe the sight of the JC Litas, I kind of feel that this is the perfect match... Right?

After having "a shoe love affair", which resulted in pulling styles for their WF shoots over the years, the two wildly talented designers

have created a dream ballerina platform, sky high strappy heels, denim platforms and '90's inspired military boots, to name a few.

I'm kind of in love with the entire look above.

Her pastel purple hair, that soft Wildfox dress and those ballet platforms are all to die for.

The Wildfox Couture for Jeffery Campbell collection will be available February 2012 at select retailers around the world.

Australia's Next Top Model Week Seven.

This weeks shoot on Australia's Next Top Model was a 1920's theme along-side actor Lincoln Lewis.

In order to prepare them in taking on an unfamiliar character from many centuries ago, the girls took part in an acting challenge

which saw Maddi, Montana and Simone nab a contract for a commercial with Telstra.

The judges weren't too happy with many of the girls attempts in their shoot this week,

but chose Izzy, Simone and Rachel as this weeks front runners. Why they keep babying Rachel is beyond me!

I thought that Jess looked incredible and stood out the most in her shot, despite the judges implying that she looked a little hoochie for this concept.

Her outfit was so beautiful and I want it a whole lot!

I also thought that Izzy's emotion was so perfect for the brief of her shoot in particular, where they were to imagine they were leaving a loved one behind.

If you want to know who any of the pieces are by, just holla!

Ps. My fave's still Montana!

Taylor Tomasi Hill Fashion Week Fave.

This is my favourite fashion week outfit of Taylor's this year.

I love the neutral skirt and the gold chain belt, but the best part is the half-tucked printed shirt.

The only detail I would change is those wrap around lace heels - I really don't like shoes like that.

If she had have worn cute ankle booties with a peep toe, kind of like the lady next to her in the first shot, this would have been perfecto.

But, in the words of Guiliana Rancic, she looks amazeballs!

Australia's Next Top Model Week Six.

Week Six shot at Kangaroo Island, South Australia.

I really liked the whole tribal theme behind the costumes used in the shoot this week.

Although again, this shoot was a bit of a letdown.

My favourites didn't shine this week, I guess the intense weather conditions really didn't aid in enhancing their performances,

but just the overall results from the girls in this shoot was nothing spectacular, like you would have hoped from a shoot and location like this.

1. Izzy wears clothes from Costume Hire Shop, Aurelio Costarella corset belt + Dinosaur Designs jewellery

2. Hazel wears blanket cape and vintage fur wrap from Grandma Takes A Trip, Flannel braided leather top + Dinosaur Designs jewellery

3. Liz wears Levis denim shirt, blanket wrap and headpiece from Grandma Takes A Trip + Dinosaur Designs jewelley

4. Jess wears vintage furs from Grandma Takes A Trip, Aurelio Costarella leather top + Dinosaur Designs jewellery

T by Alexander Wang Spring/Summer 2012.

These are my six favourite picks from the collection.

I love the soft fabrics and the pastel colour palette, but more specifically, that entire first look.

Always amazing. Always genius. Always lust-worthy.

O romantismo nas roupas de Amália de Fina Estampa

O estilo romântico permanece em todos os looks da personagem Amália, da novela Fina Estampa, inclusive nos acessórios.

Outro fator é a preocupação social e ambiental intrínseca no figurino, sobretudo pelo uso de tecidos naturais e aplicações artesanais nos looks.
O figurino – sob orientação de Renaldo Machado e Beth Filipecki – é composto por sobreposições e roupas curtas; eles são extremamente femininos, com predomínio de vestidos e saias de cintura alta rodadas, além de aplicações de rendas e bordados artesanais (tendência para Verão 2012).

O perfil romântico da personagem é refletido não só no vestuário, mas também nos acessórios, como os calçados de estilo Mary Jane e Anabela.
No figurino de Amália há sempre algum padrão floral ou acessório de flor, como os broches e os acessórios de cabelo, os quais, algumas vezes são substituídos por laços, mas sempre com uma feição romântica.
Há também o estilo jovial no figurino da personagem, com referência à década de 80 e 90, composta principalmente com o uso de blusas em comprimento cropped – tendência desde o Inverno 2011 – além das camisas amarradas pouco acima da cintura.

Outro detalhe é a presença de saias com babados ou evasê, vestidos leves com camadas, e shorts curtos de cintura alta. Nos looks há muita mistura de estampa, cuja base em geral é a floral; e mesmo de tecidos como os florais de tecido plano com jeans ou com aplicações artesanais ressaltando o perfil social e ecologicamente correto da personagem.

Segundo o figurinista Renaldo Machado, as roupas de Sophie Charlotte foram feitas artesanalmente, com algodão colorido vindo da Paraíba. E o lado eco da personagem também transparece no uso de florais.

"Aprendi também que por mais que você queira muito alguém,
ninguém vale tanto a pena a ponto de você deixar de se querer."
(Tati Bernardi)

Assim que o amor entrou no meio, o meio virou amor ;
O fogo se derreteu, o gelo se incendiou;
E a brisa que era um tufão…
Depois que o mar derramou, depois que a casa caiu;
O vento da paz soprou.
(Romeu e Julieta -Los Hermanos )
