Look of the Week

My look of the week this week features the gorgeous Lucy Liu! I think I am yearning for warmer weather and pouring through all the photos of celebs across the continent, in their summer gear helps take my mind of the icy weather here! Lucy Liu looks absolutely fabulous in her 50’s inspired halter-sun-dress. The sexy halter neckline accentuates her beautiful curves and I love the striped peep toe that she has paired with the dress and her glamorous oversized sunnies.

Look of the Week

My look of the week this week features the gorgeous Blake Lively, we see her here at the Savages premiere, in a yellow Bohemian style Gucci gown. This beautiful Gucci gown shows off Blake’s assets to the fullest, with its super sexy plunging halter neckline and accentuated waistline. I love the turquoise accents from her accessories which lends a slightly more playful element to the whole look and not to forget her trendy fishtail plait. An overall smoulderingly hot ensemble!

Avant Apparel

I discovered the amazing Avant Apparel 2012 autumn/winter collection, while browsing the collections from the 2012 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. The Avant design label is the creation of a progressive design duo, Bailey Allison and Lauren Du Plessis, both Lisof graduates of 2008. It is great to see such beautiful creations that are being produced locally in South Africa!

The Avant 2012 autumn/winter collection is stunning and quite dramatic, with a monochromatic thread that runs throughout the entire collection. The garments are highly structured, with an emphasis on form-fitting design, featuring elements such as the peplum, exaggerated shoulders and oversized lapels. I love the use of sheer fabrics, which is a very popular fashion trend this season.

Avant is currently stocked at Egality in Parkhurst but they have plans to expand further in Johannesburg as well as Cape Town.

Look of the Week

My look of the week this week features the gorgeous Penelope Cruz. She looks absolutely stunning in this super sexy purple lace Pucci, off the shoulder dress. The style is form-fitting and compliments her amazing figure perfectly and I love, love, love her shoes. The look is pulled together with her coordinated purple clutch and purple nail polish. She definitely looks the picture of elegant sophistication!
