Marchesa: Spring Summer 2011

As promised, a post on the lovely Marchesa. I adore the 2011 collection Marchesa is famed for fabulously lavish red carpet looks and they’re keeping up the reputation without a doubt. The whole collection is brimming with trends and endearing features: ruffles, pleats, draped chiffon, lace, cut-outs, ombre, sheer peek-a-boo’s, embroidery and lots of ruffles.
My father described one dress as “It looks like she’s gone out wearing a towel” this was immediately after he criticised Burberry's trench coats; clearly the man has no idea what he’s talking about!

Here is an assortment of sweet Marchesa dresses…

Ok, I know that this one is pretty silly and it looks like someone has made a dress out of a cross between doily's and paper snowflakes – but I like doily’s and paper snowflakes!

Apologies for saying the word Marchesa at least twice as much as necessary, I just love the word, don’t  you think it’s cute? I can’t stop saying it! Marchesa, Marchesa, Marchesa!

Golden Globes

Scarlett Johansson in Ellie Saab

Amy Adams in Marchesa

Sandra Bullock in Jenny Packham

Christina Hendricks in Romona Keveza – I adore a redhead with a red dress and lips, Christina looks stunning her, clearly the depp thinks so too!

Dianna Agron in J.Mendel with Cathy Waterman jewels – I think this may be my favourite look of the evening, Dianna aka Quinn from Glee looks so beautiful here, the waterfall like nude dress  - jewelled chiffon flowing over her accompanied with a stunning sparkly statement necklace worthy of rivalling Audrey Hepburn.

January Jones in Atelier Versace – If Dianna Agron in J.Mendel is my favourite dress this year, then this has look had to be runner up. January looks gorge in this dress, the cut-outs bring this Old Hollywood glamour up to date, the soft curls and minimal jewellery are the cherries on top.

Jayma Mays in Albert Ferretti

One name that kept cropping up was Marchesa chosen by Julianne Hough, Olivia Wilde and Amy Adams, the spring/summer 11 collection is pretty stunning so stay tuned for exquisite dresses.

P.s. Special mention for Helena Bonham Carters choice of footwear, I adore her mis-matched shoes.

I’ve been having a lazy Sunday today but now it’s nearly time to sleep I’m all in the mood for energetic jumping and dancing around my bedroom till the small hours. Because I am that cool.

Here’s a jump around song:

Black Swan

There are so many good films coming out at the moment, I’m going to practically live in the cinema come next weekend!

I’m really excited to see this film, firstly I seem to be developing a girl crush on Natalie Portman and her brows, my mum says they’re ugly because they’re so straight, but I completely disagree they make her eyes look amazing - and she has got a pretty fantastic pair! Also the trailer looks fantastic, there’s passion,  a love triangle between Nina Sears, Lily and their instructor, lots of pretty ballet costumes, and it looks pretty darn scary too!

I may have to do a post about her, she wears some really pretty things, I’m really liking her sudden love for shift dresses although I can’t see why she feels the need to wear them, her baby bump can’t be very big yet.

Here is the trailer for Black Swan

Black Swan is released Friday the 21st of January

I can’t stop watching this video, and the song is so addictive! I wish I could dance like Sheryl, her choreography is amazing!

Project ReStyle

Remember I posted this before January? Well I haven’t got around to making anything yet, seeing as January for me means one thing - exams! But here’s something that Rachel did.

Her bed fort is actually the definition of amazing! I really really want to do this with mine, I’ve always loved curtains around beds, and making tents with sheets, my bed is basically a little nest where I live and do everything! I’m thinking of putting up a rail and hanging curtains round mine.

I found the images and project at Elsie’s blog.
