Gowns S/S 2011

I imagine many of you have seen these images from Spring / Summer 2011 shows, but while browsing through my favorite saved pics I was inspired by the broad spectrum of evening wear presented by designers. These looks are from the J Mendel, Marchesa, Zac Posen and Alexander Mcqueen collections; illustrating the many facets of gowns...from ethereal, airy and fluid like to bold, dramatic and sultry.

I'd like to say "THANK YOU" to Sylvia from California Candy for the fantastic Hot Trend giveaway and yours truly was the very lucky winner! Many thanks Sylvia and I can't wait to sport the amazing snake ring. For those of you aren't already followers of Sylvia's site, she's an incredibly stylish California gal and her blog California Candy is definitely worth checking out!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!

L.A.M.B. Fall 2010 RTW

It seems every celebrity these days is launching a clothing line and there are a select few I would consider noteworthy. Gwen Stefani's clothing line L.A.M.B. has gained steady success since its 2003 launch. The collections stay true to Gwen's rocker, punk, edgy style. The Fall 2010 collection is no exception and evokes a sense of futuristic russian spy meets sultry boudoir vixen with a modern grunge theme.  And did I mention, the shoes and bags are amazing as well?  L.A.M.B. can be purchased at major retailers like Shopbop, Saks, and Nordstrom.
