Don’t stop believing
Not sure how many of you kept your fingers crossed for me but someone must have as I am now the very proud owner of the below mentioned dress. And it has already arrived at my friends daughters house.
Now comes the very excruciating and exciting wait to get it sent over here and then try it on to see if it will fit. And if it doesn’t, well then it will become a very beautiful art piece on the wall.
Yay!!
*doing a little happy dance*

It’s not a question of want, it’s a question of need
Coast has together with V&A created six gowns inspired by the very popular exhibition “Ballgowns” (which they stopped showing in January unfortunately). I saw pictures of the dresses this morning and one in particular caught my eye. Those of you who know me know that I have a passion for vintage dresses and this one hit that cord with a big, sounding bang.
I. Needed. To. Own. That. Dress.
Period.
So, after having asked a friend nicely if I could send it to her daughters address in the UK (as they of course doesn’t ship this collection abroad…it’s only made for the UK market. Sigh) I proceeded to order it. They only had my size left so thought that hey, could be my lucky day here. But no, it’s sold out on the website so now we’ll have to wait and see if they have it in one of the stores so it can be sent to me. If not, Ebay it is. As I said. That dress has to be mine.
Keep your fingers crossed for me….

I’m a Fan
And talking of couture dresses….what do you think about the one that closed the Stephane Rolland show (and worn by Fan BingBing)? I love it!

I used to be Snow White, but then I drifted
I must admit I like the couture show from Frank Sorbier that went very high tech. His inspiration was the 17th century French fairytale“Donkeyskin” and for this he only made two dresses – one low cut ball gown worn by the princess and a black dress of sorceress.
He used the white dress to project images on, this was his way to tell the story (or his interpretation of the story). Not sure if I would call it couture though – even if he ended the show by sending out pieces from his previous collections – but I like the creativity of it…and it did get attention.

I can show you the world. Shining shimmering splendid
Had my nails done yesterday. The jury is still out on the color choice. Can’t decide if I like or not.
What do you think? Yay or nay?

Caught in a web
Oh, I like this dress worn by Ashley Simpson. Me want. Not to mention I have the perfect shoes I could wear with it too. Anyone know where it’s from?
I also really like her haircut. If I wasn’t in the process of growing my hair longer this is a cut I so would go for. And if I wasn’t living in a country with very high humidity. Sleek would go instantly frizzy. Not a good look.

The little mermaid
I am not a huge fan of mermaid dresses but I must admit that I quite like the one (by Christopher Bu) that Fan BingBing wore in Cannes. Or, I like the fabric of the dress more than the shape but guess it would’t come across as well in any another one than that of a vase (or rather, mermaid) so I’ll let it pass 🙂
Even if I like it though, it is not quite up there with the Roberto Cavalli “Ming vase dress”, famously worn by Victoria Beckham back in 2005. That dress is the exception to my rule.

Aqua dreams
How absolutely gorgeous does Diane Kruger look in the Giambattista Valli dress she wore at the opening ceremony of the 65th Cannes Film Festival yesterday?
Stunning!
I so want that dress!!
