Hello, Lovely Yellow Dress

You could say that I have a mild addiction to yellow (I guess you could cross out mild, and replace it with the word strong!). Especially the light, soothing pastel shade of the colour. I have to admit that I still, sometimes, obsess over a gorgeous dress in a lovely sunny yellow that Mischa Barton wore back in 2006. It is the perfect dress for throwing on for running errands, looking both relaxed and chic. However, this post is not about Mischa Barton or the perfect everyday yellow dress. This post is about the stunning dress designed by Italian designer, Fausto Puglisi, worn here by Anna Dello Russo.

The dress is from Puglisi's S/S 2011 collection. The designer was chosen by Dolce & Gabbana to take part in their early designer's project, which earned him a place in the concept department store, Via Spiga 2. One can say that Anna Dello Russo is just excited by Fausto Puglisi as her friends, Domenico and Stefano. It is not only the fresh, vibrant colour (or the beautiful shape of the dress itself!) that I love so much. The gold details ooze of such power and gives off such a strong attitude - which is something I find so amazing. Fausto explained his use of gold to vogue.it: "In particular I am attracted to gold: from the Roman empire to mafia iconography, from Damien Hirst to Napoleon, from army uniforms to madonnas' mantles; I am fascinated by the possibility of incorporating in my clothes that fierce power that gold has given to the personalities of those historic periods." Oh, lovely, LOVELY dress, won't you come my way?

22

Today, I am turning 22 years old. Hooray! Among other things, I have decided to treat myself to lots and lots of cake. Hopefully, I'll look as stylish and elegant when eating it as Vanessa Traina does in this advert campaign for Maje Paris' Spring/Summer 2011 collection. That dress is the perfect spring birthday dress!

The 2011 Cannes Film Festival: Sarah Jessica Parker

Watching the stars at Cannes and what they all are wearing is a pure delight these days. I love a bit of French glitz and glamour. The highlight so far has without a doubt been Sarah Jessica Parker's fashion moments. First, for the 'I Don't Know How She Does It' party, she wore this gorgeous, summery dress from the Dolce & Gabbana S/S 2011 collection. I love how she has piled on lots of pearl necklaces - very Carrie Bradshaw. Also, I like the sparkle and elegance of her waistbelt against the sweet, bohemian dress.

Later in the evening, for the Wu Xia premiere, SJP changed from her D&G dress to a beautiful, floral-printed gown from Elie Saab's A/W 2011 collection. It wasn't one of my favourite dresses from the collection, but seeing it here on SJP made me go: 'Wow!' She looks absolutely stunning in it. This look proves her true style icon status.

Ellery Spring / Summer 2011/2012

I am always on the lookout for new, up-and-coming fashion labels, and lately I have had my eyes open for the Australian label, Ellery. Kym Ellery, the designer behind the label, designs special and interesting, yet very wearable pieces. The spring/summer 2011/2012 collection consisted of clean, sharp silhouettes, floaty fabrics, shimmery silver and gold and sunny, zesty yellow. I absolutely adore the various coats - how I would love to walk around yellow one in the last photo.

Maddie Kulicka for PANI Magazine May 2011

I have an obsession when it comes to coats, and somehow I seem to never have enough of them. Especially when it comes to leather jackets and trench coats. Therefore, the Miu Miu S/S 2011 collection and the Burberry Prorsum S/S 2011 collection were pure candy to my eyes. I fell in love with the oversized, boxy leather jackets that Miucca Prada featured in the Miu Miu show, and I have been dreaming about the fabulous, biker chic trench coats Christopher Bailey designed for Burberry Prorsum.

The May issue of PANI Magazine, shows two of my favourites from both S/S 2011 collections. Seeing them once again on model Maddie Kulicka, and photographed by Mateusz Stankiewicz, gives me cravings. I mean serious cravings.

Another shot from this editorial inspired me a lot. After seeing this shot (below), I wanted to run to my wardrobe and team my slightly oversized cream blazer together with camel-coloured pieces and large golden accessories. This is a combination that I will be trying out a lot in the months to come

Kasia Struss by Josh Olins for H&M Magazine S/S 2011

For their spring 2011 edition, H&M Magazine have created a range of various looks for the coming season. Stylist Ludivine Poiblanc has dressed up Kasia Struss in looks from biker boho to sensually sweet to punk chic, and Josh Olins has captured Kasia in the clothes superbly. I have fallen deeply in love with the orange suede jacket. It will look even more amazing together with sunkissed skin. And that red blazer is so stunning - the pin detailing looks so good.

Helena Christensen in Stella McCartney S/S 2011

Stella McCartney's designs for the S/S 2011 season are as hot as a house on fire. Citrus graphic prints and the tailored suits are two essential keywords for the summer collection. In the May issue of Harper's Bazaar  Russia, Luis Sanchis has photographed Helena Christensen in these two powerful looks (look 20 and look 31) from the collection. Both of these outfits oozes summer with its bold colours and the bright whites. Helena Christensen looks like a goddess in these pieces - she is one of the ultimate Stella McCartney women.

If you need to freshen up your memory of Stella McCartney's S/S 2011 collection, watch this video by style.com with comments from Liv Tyler, Alexandra Shulman and the Stella McCartney herself. It is definitely worth a peak, as it will make you want to dance around in denim blues, citrus prints and light suits.

Nicole Richie in Marchesa

In the editorial, She's In Control, in the spring/summer 2011 issue of The Block magazine, Nicole wears this gorgeous Marchesa dress from their S/S 2011 collection. The photo is shot by photographer Hugh Lippe, and styled by James Worthington DeMolet. Nicole Richie has worn Marchesa several times - the most memorable being her exquisite wedding gown in December last year. What always hits me when I see Nicole in Marchesa, is how much she resembles a fairy tale princess - she carries the dresses with such poise and elegance.

Colour Blocking: Pink and Green 

Mixing bright colours is a major trend this season. This makes me so happy as I am visioning my whole town walking around in colour blocked outfits for summer, though that is not likely to happen. I am gathering a lot of inspiration as I know that I will be wearing a lot of colour this spring and summer.

Emily, from the blog Cupcakes and Cashmere, posted photos of herself wearing this gorgeous, flirty and inspiring outfit. The hot pink skirt and the kelly green striped top work so good together. You wouldn't necessarily think of teaming these two colours together, but it's often that the unexpected works out for the best.

Modern Warrior

In the March 2011 issue of Harper's Bazaar Korea, photographer Dancian has shot a wonderful editorial called Modern Warrior. Ruby Aldridge, styled by Mirim Lee, only wears pieces from the Spring/Summer 2011 collection by Burberry Prorsum - a collection that I am head over heels in love with. I am especially obsessed with the studded leather jacket in the first photo. It must be the queen of all leather jackets. If I owned it (I wish!), I would wear it with everything and never ever take it off. It might be a bit uncomfortable sleeping in it though...

Vogue Covers April 2011

The covers for Paris Vogue and Germany Vogue were recently published, and I am guessing editors in chief, Christiane Arp and Emmanuelle Alt, were surprised when they saw each others covers as they both have featured the same dress from Dolce & Gabbana's S/S 2011 collection.

Gisele Bundchen wears it for Paris Vogue, shot by Inez &Vinoodh. I love the feel of spring that this cover expresses, and Gisele looks gorgeous, but to be honest I do expect a bit more from Emmanuelle Alt, since it is her first cover as editor in chief. However, some say that this is her first cover, while others claim that everything for Vogue Paris has been set until the end of the season, meaning that Carine Roitfeld chose this cover. The world of fashion is a busy place.

Britt Maren covers the Vogue Germany issue in the gorgeous, summer dress by D&G. I really like this cover, especially because I love Britt Maren's short, blonde hair and how good it looks with the dress. The blue background is also very fresh and summery. It seems like the whole world of Vogue are going crazy for this dress, as Vogue Spain featured Constance Jablonski wearing it for the February 2011 cover. 

Which cover to you like best? Vogue Paris or Vogue Germany?

Cate Blanchett in Givenchy Couture S/S 2011

Cate Blanchett in a haute couture gown by Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy was one of the best matches of the evening. Back in late January, I fell head over heels in love with this couture collection as the detailing is absolutely exquisite. This "Tao" dress was one of my favourites. The reason why is because of the lavender and yellow teamed together (such a fresh and exciting combination!) and the contrast between the tough and bold shoulders and the delicate details and fabric.

Alongside my immense hope of seeing an Elie Saab gown last night, I was also hoping to see some Givenchy couture. And I am so happy that Cate was the one to make the bold fashion statement as she is the perfect woman for such dresses. She really lifted the level of fashion last night, and I adore her so much doing that.

Mila Kunis in Elie Saab Couture S/S 2011

You can not believe how excited I was to see Mila Kunis in this incredible haute couture lavender gown by Elie Saab. As some of you remember, yesterday I was hoping that someone would wear a piece from this collection as it comprises so many dresses that are worthy of being at the Oscars. Still, I am glad she chose exactly this dress as it is one of my very favourites from the couture collection.

Mila looked absolutely stunning, and at first I just couldn't stop staring at these photos of her because the dress suits her so well. She definitely ranks very high on my top 5 list. I can almost safely say that she was my favourite of the evening, though there are a few other dresses deserves a lot of attention as they were amazing. Check back very soon to see more!

What did you think of Mila Kunis' dress by Elie Saab? Was she your favourite of the evening?

The 83rd Annual Academy Awards - A Prediction

The Oscars 2011 is just around the corner, and raise a hand if you're looking forward to all the dresses! I never try to make predictions of what everyone are wearing as I like it to be surprised, but this year I have attempted to make a prediction - or a better description is probably that I have a deep, passionate hope - that someone will be wearing Elie Saab S/S 2011 Couture. There are so many Oscar worthy dresses in this collection, and it would be such a shame if none of them will be seen at the awards.

If someone will be wearing Elie Saab, who do you think it will be?

Blake Lively in Alexander McQueen

Last night, Blake Lively attended the amfAR New York Gala to celebrate the beginning of Fall 2011 Fashion Week. For the event, she wore a dress by Alexander McQueen from the spring/summer 2011 collection. I have read a lot of different opinions about Blake wearing this dress; some saying that she isn't the bohemian type to be able to carry this properly, while others praise her for her choice. I love Blake in this dress, though I believe it would look more "right" on someone like Nicole Richie or Sienna Miller. What do you think?

 According to Grazia, there are rumors that Blake might be playing the role as a young Carrie Bradshaw in a possible film adaption of "The Carrie Diaries". What are your thoughts about this? Do you think she'd be good as a younger version of Carrie?

Olivia Palermo for Tibi S/S 2011

Tibi asked Olivia Palermo to style and model parts of their Spring/Summer 2011 collection, and this is how it turned out. According to the Tibi blog, they wanted Olivia to "choose the Tibi clothing that she'd like to be photographed in during the NYC, London, Paris & Milan shows - and to style them in her own personal way. She brought piles upon piles of her signature accessories and we let her have a go."

When asked about what the thought behind the whole collection was, Tibi answered that it is "a twist on the very authentic snapshot of individual style mixed with a contrived setting of the very fashionable cities our style icons are snapped in." Therefore Olivia is just perfect for this campaign, as she ranks high on the style icon list.

I personally love the styling in these photos, and I would like to own every single piece. What do you think about it?

Kate Bosworth in Isabel Marant

Last night, Kate Bosworth attended the King's Speech Awards Season Party wearing Isabel Marant. In my opinion, Kate is the perfect girl for Isabel Marant; she is cool, bohemian and chic. As a big admirer of Kate's wardrobe, I have learnt that she likes a lot of neutral, basic pieces with few, but exciting details, which one can mix and match as one likes. And as a huge fan of Isabel Marant, I know she designs such pieces.

It seems that Kate Bosworth does have a weak spot for Isabel Marant, as she wore a red version of this knitted dress from the S/S 2011 collection for her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel. I definitely hope to see her in a lot more from Isabel Marant.

House of Dagmar S/S 2011

When it comes to Swedish design, there is a lot of talent flowing around. I get more and more impressed for each Stockholm Fashion Week. One of my favourite Swedish labels is House of Dagmar, which was launched in 2005 by the three sisters Kristina, Karin and Sofia. I was so lucky to receive an invitation to their A/W 2011 show during Stockholm Fashion Week earlier this February, but unfortunately I was unable to attend. Even though I couldn't attend, I most definitely will be very inspired by their designs, starting with their S/S 2011 collection. I am head over heels in love with their leather pieces!

Leighton Meester in Marchesa S/S 2011

Last night, Leighton Meester attended the Court of Jewels Recreation launch at the Harry Winston store in New York. She wore a black, lace romper from the Marchesa S/S 2011 collection together with heels by Nicholas Kirkwood and, of course, some dazzling Harry Winston jewelry.

I know that there might be split opinions about this outfit, as there always is when someone makes a bold fashion statement (but that's just the risk one has to take!). I mentioned in the latest "The 10 Best Dressed of the Week" that I have a very love/hate relationship when it comes to Leighton's outfits, but lately she has been wowing me with her great pieces, one after the other. And this is definitely one of my favourite Leighton-outfits ever. The top-half of the romper is especially nice, and I love how she wears it with her hair loosely up and with that purple lipstick. Very femme fatale.

What do you think of Leighton's outfit?

Gwyneth and Leighton

Last night, the premiere for the movie "Country Strong"was held in Nashville, and Gwyneth Paltrow and Leighton Meester attended as they both have leading roles. And may I add that they both showed up in style. They sported two very different looks, but they both looked stunning, each in their own way.  Gwyneth wore a black, classic dress with a sexy twist to it from the Chado Ralph Rucci S/S 2011 collection together with edgy heels from the Lanvin S/S 2011 collection. By wearing this dress she showed that she is a mature woman, but that she still has fun with fashion.

Leighton opted for a younger and more playful option by wearing this dress from the Marc Jacobs S/S 2011 collection. Leighton is known for her fresh choices when it comes to fashion so it is no surprise to see her in this unique dress. The more I look at it, the more I like it. I especially love the gold dress which is underneath together with the black on the top-half of the dress.

Who wore the best dress?
	Gwyneth
	Leighton
