It must be Elie Saab!

And yes it is. I have not yet had my turn to see the actual episode of Chuck and Blair's wedding but when I saw her gorgeous powder blue embellished gown I knew it must be by my favourite designer Elie Saab. Blair's wedding gown is from Elie Saab's SS2013 collection and I am obsessed with it- it is so refreshing that they chose not to put her in a traditional white gown. Here are some pictures from the wedding and I will post more once I have seen the long awaited for episode!

 

 

Elie Saab 2013

I doubt Elie Saab could ever disappoint me and this new collection blows me away. The silhouettes are traditional wedding gown silhouettes with a fitted waist. Texture and movement are this season's must have and this collection has all that to offer and more. The lace appliques, hand embroidered lace and flowers are absolutely gorgeous.

2012 Academy Awards

My favourite red carpet moment has arrived- The Oscars! I love seeing the celebrities looking like the movie stars they are and this year they did not disappoint- elegance was the word of the evening. We saw many strapless gowns as well as a few long sleeved dresses and one shoulder silhouettes. Again nudes and flesh tones as well as the popular pastels were a huge hit and black was also surprisingly seen on many celebrities. As we did the rest of the awards season last night we saw many glitzy and intricately beaded gowns.
