4 Things...

4 Things

Ellie Saab perfume3

Earlier this year after doing my wardrobe sort I have gotten into the habit of making wishlists, which can include anything from an overseas holiday to a pair of shoes! So today I am sharing 4 Things On My Wishlist 🙂

By making wishlists I find it easier to save for bigger items and have a set goal in mind when I am going out shopping. It is also great to have a wishlist so that when people ask you what you would like for pressies you have it on hand!

Ellie Saab perfume2

  • Elie Saab Le Perfum this is definitely top of my fragrance wishlist!

Kitchen Aid Coffee Maker2

  • This Kitchen Aid coffee maker is a beaute and would be a perfect addition to my kitchen – still trying to convince my hubby to go manual after our pod machine died 🙂

Leather Jacket2

 

  • This is a real “lust-have” I guess it does not have to be real leather as “pleather” seems to be the in-thing at the moment but I would prefer it to be real leather{love the smell}. Maybe this wish will become a reality when we travel to Italy next year 🙂

Swarovski Earings2

 

  • Last but not least are these gorgeous Swarovski earings – so pretty don’t you think? I think this may be top of my Christmas wishlist!

Do you make wishlists? What is on your wishlist? Please share in the comment section below.

My Top Fashion Designers

Top Designers2

As you may have guessed fashion is a great passion of mine and I love pouring over the latest fashion offerings, by the Top International Designers.

I have always said that one day when I grow up(hopefully sometime soon) I will own a Elie Saab creation!

These are My Top fashion Designers:

  • Elie Saab

He is definitely my favourite designer, I love his dreamy almost fairytale style of designing. Elie Saab’s signature has to be his exquisite  beadwork and his use of lace and tulle. He named his Spring 2013 collection “An Ode to Delicateness”, with illusion necklines and sheer sleeves, his creations seem to almost float down the runway.

  • Marchesa

Marchesa’s 2013 RTW(Ready To Wear) collection has a definite exotic Indian flavour with hints of  Bollywood – elaborate threadwork, sari draping and fringe are front and centre. The collection features rich tones such as Chartreuse, peacock, bordeaux, or eggplant tones tipped with gold. The structured sari gown below is my favourite – I love the rich tones and stunningly sexy lines of the dress.

  • Oscar de la Renta

The name Oscar de la Renta has always been synonymous with high fashion and his 2013 RTW collection delivers on all fashion fronts. The collection has something for everyone, from day suits in doily lace and the unusual use of fuchsia Astrakhan, to party dresses in feather-embroidered tulle. Super feminine and so pretty!

  • Zac Posen

Zac Posen’s 2013 RTW Collection has a definite Vintage feel to it with 1940 Skirt-suits and old school floral day dresses but my favourite part of the collection are the exquisite gowns! I particularly love his use of satin and tulle to create a dramatic contrasting silhouette.

The look of the week this week comes from Elie Saab’s 2012 Ready-To-Wear collection, he is one of my favourite designers! The entire collection is amazing but this was one of the looks I particularly loved. I adore the colour and the exquisite tailoring, it shouts elegance and sophistication.

Elie Saab – Spring 2012 Couture

 

img-thing

Recently while doing research for another Fashion post I came across these gorgeous, beaded dresses, by one of my favourite designers, Elie Saab. This beautiful range of couture gowns is reminiscent of the sherbet sweets of yester-year.  Stunning pastel shades, sleek flowing lines, complimented beautifully by dreamy sheer fabrics, creating an overall look of romantic elegance.
