NATALIA VODIANOVA'S WHITE FAIRY TALE LOVE BALL

It comes as no surprise that, with the closing of the couture shows in Paris, that fashion's elite would elect to have some fun at opulently themed parties - and Vodianova's White Fairy Tale Ball is exactly what you would expect from fashion's in-crowd. With the likes of Roberto Tisci, Anna della Russo, Valentino, and of course Natalia herself, in attendance, the party was filled with some pretty lovely people! Guests were asked to wear white or silver (Vodianova, as the hostess, wore brilliant red Valentino). Anne Hathaway was completely stunning in her Valentino gown, and Olivia Polermo looked fantastic as well. My only question: why wasn't I invited? Maybe next year!

BLAKE LIVELY IN MARCHESSA

Blake Lively looked totally gorgeous at the BAFTA dinner for Will and Kate's trip to the US a few nights ago, wearing this one-shoulder Marchesa dress - and we all know I'm a sucker for Marchesa (not to mention asymmetrical dresses, so this one is a total knockout for me!). I have only loosely followed Lively's style, but I think, in general, she's got quite a lovely look. I also heard that she doesn't use the help of a stylist, so even more props to her for doing her own thing! While she could have lightened up on the tan a bit, I do adore this ethereal dress on her. Lovely!

KATE BOSWORTH IN ???

Kate Bosworth always looks amazing, no matter what - but she looks particularly amazing in this dress! I know this red carpet is from forever ago, and I don't even remember the designer (eeeek!), but going through my stored images spurred me to post this. That dress is way too beautiful not to make it onto my blog! God, I wish they sold pieces like that at H&M...

NATALIA VODIANOVA DOES VALENTINO RIGHT

Natalia has such great taste in clothes, which is wonderful: it seems so sad when a gorgeous model, surrounded by all the most amazing clothes in the world, can't seem to put herself together. Natalia's style is always well groomed and beautiful, no matter what. Natalia wore the red dress to a party thrown by Valentino himself at his estate outside of Paris on Wednesday to honor his new archive and museum (the dress is Valentino Couture, of course). The lovely nude dress was worn to the Valentino HC F/W 2010 aftershow.

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! =)

DIANE KRUGER IN CHANEL HAUTE COUTURE

I absolutely love Diane Kruger's style. I don't generally look up to celebrities as style icons, since the title of "celebrity" alone is enough quite often to repulse me. That being said, Kruger isn't a tabloid hit and has revved up enough fashion "cred" that I can put her in my blog without feeling like a complete ditz (which I am, anyway). Here she is in Chanel Haute Couture - the sequins and deep blue color are amazing. As usual with Chanel, I would have done it differently (without those sleeves!), but it still looks amazing on her.

KATE BOSWORTH IN PROENZA SCHOULER

The Museum of Contemporary Art had a party celebrating it's 30 years on Saturday (November 14th). Kate Bosworth attended in this cute shift dress from Proenza Schouler. I love the fact that this is like a warped, mettallic animal print - somehow it really works! I also love the simple makeup and accessorizing, which also works because of the print of the dress. I think you could dress her in a paper bag and she'd still manage to pull it off. Her style is so simple and cute, and she rarely takes risk; but she always looks lovely. These images are from TFS, my new best friend.

LEIGH IN BLUE CHANEL

I'm not really familiar with Leigh Lezark (someone please fill me in on who she is!), but I recently found a post on another blog, the topic being Leigh's style. Chanel Fine Jewelry hosted a "Fête d'Hiver" benefit in New York on November 4, and Leigh wore this lovely little number out. I'm in love with the color, the material, and the roses on this dress - so incredibly wonderful! I'm going to have to look up more images of her style I think... Also, I promise to start replying to all of your lovely and much appreciated comments tonight! I'm so behind on everything... I found these images here.
