kim kardashian bridal look

while we are on the subject of weddings, we can't ignore the most recent of all - kim kardashian's. i was not too impressed with her look as a whole, however, i did think her makeup, hair, veil, and jewelry looked great. perfect, in fact. and yes, that includes the headpiece....i for one thought it looked very pretty.

filmfare awards 2011 -- lovely in white

as if you didn't already know, it's award season dahlings, and that's not just in hollywood. bollywood too, has started it's award shows, with the latest being the most popular one of all -- the filmfare awards.

among all the beautiful outfits seen at the show, i have to say the ladies wearing white stood out the most. these weren't your typical white outfits that usually do the job of radiating elegance and grace because of their simplicity -- these creations were very much embellished and heavily bedazzled, yet still came across as effortless and clean. how angelic do these ladies look?

katrina is just a vision. the beigey-pink sheer long top, over her stark white and full lengha is fabulous. and that dash of emerald green? wow. we all know from the past golden globes award show, that emerald green is the hot color of the moment, so it was a treat to see that in katrina's look as well. urmilla looks exquisite in her long anarkali gown with its high mandarin collor top and dash of spicy red at the bottom. and can't forget about those beeeeautiful drop down diamond earrings. loved them both.

georgina chapman, town and country march 2009

i've always been slightly obsessed with the immense beauty and style of the stunning georgina chapman, co-designer of marchesa. chapman creates hollywood's most sought-after gowns (which i've written about both here and here on this blog).

this town and country editorial is one of the most stunning i've seen -- playing the role of an fairy tale princess in her own dream-like gowns, chapman's grandeur is unmatchable.
