Lady in Red

Sophia Loren. An everlasting beauty.

I love the richness in her style. She is all about femininity, luxury, and vibrance.

So naturally, when I saw these shoes by Nicholas Kirkwood, I couldn’t think of a better match.

Find them now at AlOthman.

Take on the Tutu.

What happens when the English National Ballet collaborates with the top English designers?

Magnificence is produced, like the ones you see here by Erdem above and Roksanda Ilincic below.

Dressing up Pastries

Recently, I was browsing through on of my favorite foodie blogs, Kitchy Kitchen, and I found these fantastic Barbie cakes she made, using some of our designer gowns as inspiration.

Below is one based on the full organza gown by Monique Lhuillier.

Even the sheer illusion bustier was incorporated in the form of delicate sugar.

The other one I loved was the fantastic lazer cut origami style Marchesa gown.

Beautiful work.

Magazine March

Hace you seen Isabel Marant‘s latest ad’s for Fall 2012?

All girly with the florals, lace, and heels; yet adrogenous with the super short hair and stances.

The perfect mix for the Parisian cool girl gang.

Loving it!

A Lost Character

Sadly, the fashion world lost a treasure recently, in the death of Anna Piaggi.

The eccentric Italian fashion journalist, was iconic in the way she dressed. Vibrant hair and make-up, loads and loads of accessories, masses of hats, and the most outrageous of outfits.

She also played as Muse to Alexander McQueen and Karl Lagerfeld.

She was the subject of a fabulous exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London of all her personal collections of fashion.

She will be remembered and referred to for years to come. Rest in Peace.

All Hail

Vanity Fair honored the always elegant Carolina Herrera on their list of Hall of Fame of Best Dressed.

I could not agree more… All Hail Queen Herrera.

Proenza Thoughts

With Proenza Schouler, it’s all about the attitude.

Meghan Collision was shot for the campaign in a somber yet Rock and Roll way.

It screams the cool chick in town!

Find Proenza pieces in AlOthman now.

Balmain Fall 2012 Reminded me of..

As I walked into the Balmain showroom last March, I fell in love with the decadence and detailing of the collection.

The pearls strewn through jackets, the crystals in their criss cross shapes, and plush fabrics from velvets to satins.

All I could imagine was the beauty and details of Faberge eggs as though they were formed into clothing and worn.

Luxury at its finest.

A little bit of History

As I was spending my time enraptured by the blog of the the amazingly stylish Jane Aldridge from Sea of Shoes, I came upon a few photos of a Proenza Schouler clutch from a few years back.

Take a look and notice how beautiful pieces, never lose their charm.
