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.

another beautiful kate at her wedding

i'm talking about the great kate moss, who looked just as stunning, in a completely different way than our favorite royal, kate middleton. love the soft, romantic and bohemian feel to miss moss' bridal look.

alexander mcqueen, fall 2011

aww yeah, baby -- now this is hot. and even though "alexander the great" is missed, new mcqueen designer, sarah burton, is still maintaining his crazy/fun aesthetic. and how! the clothes were futuristic, luxurious, and just plain cool. loved the monochrome layering, the touches of fur, and especially loved the laced-up boots seen in a lot of the looks. plus, i definitely enjoyed seeing all this amazing fashion in the show's chosen color palette -- black, white, and grey.

marchesa (finally!) @ NYFW fall 2011

i've been waiting and waiting to see marchesa's collection, and it's finally up on style.com today. and as usual, it was gorgeous....with glamour, glitz, and all-out girl power.

there was tulle, there was lace, there were drapes, and there were corsets...all combined with lots of "sheer" pleasure.

so very beautiful, romantic, and princess-like. for me, marchesa is "pretty" defined.

vikram phadnis -- lakme india fashion week, spring 2010

gorgeous designs from vikram phadnis during the spring 2010 lakme india fashion week. it was a very opulent, royal, and traditional collection. especially loved all the layering i saw. each piece had this over-the-top grandeur but still remained very elegant. i always admire how designers combine a variety of fierce colors, fabrics, prints, and embroideries into one cohesive and graceful ensemble. the entire collection was very imperial india...going "back to an era of resplendent royalty not seen in India for centuries"....as a fashion editor put it. my favorite, though? the pairing of trendy gold gladiator sandals with a traditional churidar suit...as you will see in the second pic below. it showed just the right hint of modern spunk to go along with this very timeless & luxurious collection.

swapan & seema -- lakme india fashion week, autumn 2009

after browsing through most of the fall/winter 2009 collections presented at lakme india fashion week, i have to say that this was one of my favorites. from perfectly draped saris to sophisticated suits and lenghas, this collection was just so pretty. the rich & lovely shades of wine, the romantic lace details, and the sheer beauty of the fabrics were all very glamourous.
