HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GIN & ROSES

As one may assume from the title of this post, today is Gin & Roses' one year birthday! It's hard to believe I've been on this blog for that long; time certainly does fly! To boot, here are some pictures of the gorgeous Camilla Belle at an event for Oscar week (so, I'm a little late posting this!). The dress is Marchesa, of course, and is beyond stunning. What a dream it would be to have a dress like this! Absolutely amazing. Hope all is well with the rest of you bloggers, and just a few more weeks till summer vacation (meaning I'll have time to actually blog on a regular basis!). Love!

CAMILLA BELLE IN GAULTIER HAUTE COUTURE

If this dress looks terribly familiar, it may be because I have actually posted about it before. The truth is, there are few dresses that really stick in my brain and generate as much love as this one does. This dress, from Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Spring 2007 collection was pure bliss for me. I mean, the dress is a total DREAM. It's a little girl's princess dress come true! Now then, the reason I have decided to re-post about this lovely number is because I don't feel I did it any justice in my previous post - these photos show it off so much better! Also, my mother and I have decided that when/if I ever get married, this would look spectacular in white (yes, I plan on having a JPG inspired dress made just for moi!). Anyway, enjoy this lovely dress on dear Camilla Belle. Just don't take my wedding dress idea! =)

Oh Belle

This is random because Camilla Belle wore this dress so long ago, but it doesn't change the fact that I am totally and utterly smitten with this. She has fantastic taste in clothes all the time, but when I saw this dress I nearly died. I have practically a whole page in one of my scrapbooks dedicated to this dress alone! The dress is by Gaultier Paris Haute Couture (Spring 2007) and she wore it to the Costume Institute's party that year.

In other news, I changed the name of the blog from "Vintage Pearls" to "Gin & Roses." Hope there is little confusion but I'm sure the switch isn't too earth shattering for anyone.
