Elie Saab SS14

Ok. I'm a sucker for romantic girly dresses. If you've been following my blog, you would've seen romantic wedding gowns, mermaid/fishtail dresses and Marchesa.

Anyways Elie Saab has just released his Spring/Summer 2014 Couture collection (which you can view here) and HOMAIGAWDDD... it's an ethereal fairytale garden with splashes of romance and happily ever after.

Here are some of my favorites :)

 Pockets in dresses! Brilliant!

 

 Can someone spell ethereal goddess? 

Can't say the same for her expression though.

Ahhhh so pretty

I love how this is so girly elegant

Greek goddesses aren't afraid to show off a little leg

Love the juxtaposition of dark and girly florals

OMG SUPER LOVE!!! I think she looks like a deadly nightshade about to bloom. 

Delicate yet dangerous. 

But you can't help but want to get closer to it.

Black's always a timeless color. 

I love the hemline embellishment. 

Gorgeous. Simply gorgeous.

 

The man himself, Elie Saab. Thank you so much for this gorgeous collection!!!

Dreamy wedding dresses

Okay, I confess... I didn't go scouring the internet for these gorgeous dresses... rather I was inspired by this Buzzfeed post so much so that I thought that I'd repost it with my favourite ones :)

A intricately gorgeous back
From onetowed

Super dainty low-backed dress with an oh-so-soft layered dress
From Wanda Borges

I super love how delicate the straps are and how layered the dress is. Love love love.
From jlmcouture

This is definitely my favorite of the bunch. I love the Grecian
goddess look and it looks airy enough for tropical weathers!
From Shareen Vintage

In case you haven't noticed, I have this thing for dresses that
are delicate and have a lot of layers. But look! Oh so pretty!
Also from jlmcouture

Ok nothing is sexier than a lace-up back, now is there?
From weddbook

Ok not too crazy about the bolero but I do love how
the hemline reaches slightly around the ankles.
From Stephanie Allin

Classic heart shaped top, full skirt and pockets? SOLD!!!
From La Sposa

Butterflies!!! 'Nuff sed :)
From Elizabeth Fillmore Bridal

I love the sequins! The sparkliness it adds just gives it a
more magical kind of feel. Oh and it has pockets!
From the one and only Vera Wang

Love that China (the ceramics, not the country)
peeking out from the bottom of the hemlines
From jasminestar

I love how showing of some leg makes this
dress look even more elegant
From Paolo Sebastian

So what do you think?

Amber Heard

Ooohhh just saw this at the Michael Kors show.

Amber Heard is wearing a beautiful black & white ensemble.

Absolutely adore that black lace bit.

It adds some drama and just a touch of delicateness to that stone cold white dress.

Doesn't she look stunning?

I'd love one of these :)

Princess weddings....

I confess... I've ALWAYS wanted to be a Disney princess when I was growing up. The lovely dresses, the great ending, a Prince Charming, oh the list goes on.

I remember when I was quite young, probably around 3 or 4 years old (I know this for a fact because my dad was still alive then - he passed away 2 weeks before my 5th birthday), I used to be obsessed with Snow White. I would even pick a flower from the garden, then lie down, and place it on my hands, which were neatly folded on my chest. So either mom or dad would have to kiss me to wake me up!

My grandmother even made me a "wedding" dress - complete with veil and bouquet :) my cousins and I would take turns playing bride & bridesmaid.

Getting married has always been a dream of mine - but then again which girl doesn't have a wedding dream.... right?

So when I came across Alfred Angelo's Disney collection, I was estatic!!! This makes me REALLY REALLY want one for my wedding!

Okay, enough talk - it's picture time!

My top 3 choices are........ *DRUM ROLL*

Princess Ariel from The Little Mermaid

Although I do know that I will never be able to pull of a mermaid dress. I don't have the body shape for it. Ahhhh but a girl can dream, can't she? :)

All that detail in the folds at the back, simple gorgeous, no?

Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty

This was more of because I loved Aurora's voice and the fact that she had 3 fairy god mothers, of which, two kept changing the colour of her dress!

Belle from Beauty and the Beast

Here's another shot :)

This by far is my favourite dress! It looks almost exactly like Belle's dress except that it's white... and it's real! I would seriously love to wear this to my wedding! OMG OMG OMG I'm fantasizing already :P shhhhhh don't tell the pup!

This is the fun part. See that shrug? It's detachable. So you can have two looks with one simple manoeuvres Alfred's such a genius

See? Perfect looks for the ceremony and the luncheon!

Okay, we've seen my top three choices, here is the rest of Alfred's collection. Enjoy!

Uma Thurman is hot!

Just saw some of the outfits from the Cannes Film Festival 2011 and OMG I am SO in love with Uma Thurman's dress!

It's angelic yet subtly (and appropriately) sexy/sensual at the same time.

I like I like I like~
