Christian Dior Spring 2010 Couture

es, readers, I am back! And so much better than before. I had exams last week. I had to study for my French P.A.L.S. I was busy-ish and I kept telling myself every single weekend up until now "Yes, I will blog today!" As you can see, that never really worked out. And I feel guilty-ish. On the bright side, I am reviewing Couture for the first time!

Ooh-la-la! The pastels! The big tilted hats! Some of these looks seem almost magical with Chantilly lace and flower appliques.

I just LOVE the ankle boots! The white give it a more feminine look, while the black are a bit more tough.

They have such an old-fashioned look. I especially love the little buttons. 

These ones are okay, too. Not my favorite, though.

What wonderful colors! This collection uses such a good variety of colors. You see the pastels and then this; beautiful ruby, sapphire, amethyst, etc. The far left look reminds me of a peacock. Maybe it would a bit more if the shoes were teal or green, too. Now the ball gown... The first of many, indescribably beautiful gowns... The colors are so perfect. It has a nice bustle and bodice.

 

Now these are so pretty, too! I love the color combos. Who would ever think to put cream with that orangey-brown color?  And the pale pink and periwinkle mermaid dress has such a cool bustle!

Now that blue and sage dress is REALLY cool. At first I though it was a weird jumpsuit, but then I realized it was a skirt. The ruby-red dress has such a nice bow on the bodice. But one of my top 3 picks in the entire 60-something piece collection is The scalloped/bow silver/pale pink/white dress! Are there even words to describe such a dress?! 

This collection is in my top 3 for Spring Couture. To see it all, click here.

Bye-bye for now! Get ready to see a new couture collection soon...

Alberta Ferretti Spring 2010 Ready-to-Wear

Hello! I saw the Alberta Ferretti collection, and really liked it! So... that is the newest collection for me to post about. This collection contained sheer fabrics (Again!!!), pastel colors, and some very unhealthy looking models! Some day I'm going to have to post about the woes of models. I've modeled once. For my grandmother. She makes aprons and sells them at craft fairs. Now I'm going off topic. Time to go back to the collection.

I really like the clothes, especially the ones with the pale orange, lace fabric. My complaint? The sickly models. The colors blend into their skin. Even my brother realizes this! (He thought one of the models was nude as he glanced at the computer screen!) When a teenage boy realizes something like this, you know for sure that it's true!

Eek! Why did the picture on the right turn out so big??? Or maybe she's a giant! This irks me, so!

I do really like that lilac dress with the tie-around belt. If just the color popped against the model's skin!!! Why, Alberta, why???

Well, The models may look nude to the passer-by-ers of my computer, but the clothes are well made. The white fabrics can actually be seen against the pale-pink of the models' skin

Ah.... And here's the fancy stuff. "Red Carpet" as Alberta calls it. It seems a bit light and, I don't know, just too daytime-y. It wouldn't fit in on the nighttime red carpet. But why fit in? I suppose it's better to stand out.

I'm starting to bore myself here. Click here to see the full collection.
