Evoking Old Hollywood Glamour, this fashion editorial is one of my favorites! The September issue of Vogue Japan delights us with retro glamour, and inky tattoos with classic bombshell hair! Clothes are from Celine, Dolce & Gabbana and Alexander McQueen.

Mid-Week Inspiration: Petit Point

Once only seen on a precious vintage purse or an old vanity hair brush set, petit point has made it's way back.  I love seeing it in it's new reincarnation! 

Dolce & Gabbana gave us some in their Fall 2012 collection! I adore their take on Grandma chic! 

Miss L Fire put in on their wedges! Adorable!

And my favorite designer of the moment, Ulyana Sergeenko has it on sunglasses for her Spring 2013 collection! I'm dying!

What do you think of the Petit Point trend?

Mid-Week Inspiration: Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2010

If you are at all familiar with my designs you know I gravitate towards satins and lace. The Fall 2010 collection from Dolce & Gabbana was full of inspiring looks in that vain. I absolutely loved their collection!

I really want this bold flower print coat! So pretty!

I also loved their D&G collection. Full of apres ski sweater dressing with lot's of glamorous fur!
How adorable is that cable knit romper?

Retro Looks From Milan: Dolce & Gabbana

Dolce & Gabbana's Fall 2009 RTW collection was a lot of fun and showed a lot of retro 40's and 50's inspired pieces. Some quite literal like the 50's style prom gown with Marilyn Monroe's image silkscreened all over the poufy skirt. And other's with a twist that would make Elsa Schiaparelli proud, like the gloves used as scarves and belts. My favorite is the top picture! Glam!
