Le Sigh....Paris Fashion Week Cont..

Ok.  So here's the thing.  You may, at one time or another, noticed from my blog that I have a little bit of a thing for pretty.  All kinds of pretty.  So it's probably no surprise that my favourite designers are Elie Saab and Monique Lhuillier.

Elie Saab has just had his S/S show at the Paris Fashion Week, and I'm a little bit in love.  Again (though that may be the one downfall - there's a little bit of sameness.  I'm no fashion expert, not by a long shot, but I can pick an Elie Saab a mile off).

This post is picture heavy.  Suck it up.  Beauty is pain.  I borrowed outright stole most of these photos from Simone over at The Bottom of the Ironing Basket's blog. You can thank me later. 

Don't you just suddenly want to be rich and slender? An Elie Saab would be my dream 'skinny' dress.

What do you think? Are you a fan?  Who's your favourite designer? Who are you most looking forward to seeing on the runway this season in Paris?

Paris Fashion Week so far. The Good, The Bad and the UUUUUgly.

It's Paris Fashion Week and the Spring/Summer 2011 Collections are up.  I've only seen a couple of them so far, I expect there will be more over the coming days.  My absolute favourite designer has been featured today though, so I confess I actually squealed when I head over to Simone's  beautiful blog.  But that one later.

Shall we start with the bad?   Dior.   Actually, I'm not sure that's fair.  I hated the first few pics I saw, but the concept started to grow on me.  You could kind of see they were trying to go back to a type of retro, old Hollywood glamour, which usually I love.  I've been a long time fan of John Galliano, so I was excited to see what he came up with.

A couple I really hated....

Then I realised he wasn't just sh!tting with me, and a few started to grow on me.

Soon enough (maybe it was the Ativan?), I found a couple I absolutely loved.  Of course, they're pretty safe and 'me', girlie and pretty, but there you are, that's what I love.

The Really, really, unspeakably Ugly.  I'm talking let-us-never-speak-of-it-again-ugly?  Armani Prive...

Is that a pocket?  Did she bust a seam?  What exactly is going on here?

No, no...I'm sure this wouldn't ever draw attention to my mammoth "child bearing" hips...

This looks suspiciously like that cheap holographic contact paper we used on Alexander's books last year. We hated it then too.  And if you look closely, I think something terrible is about to happen to her right breast...

WTF?  Seriously?

I almost liked this one.  Right up until I scrolled down and saw the..leggings?

You know what, just go see for yourselves.  You can get better looks on here.

What's more?  I'm doing a separate post for my favourite.  It's too pretty and girly to go with Judy Jetson's wardrobe...
