Week 9-Surrender

So this week was a success! Great fashion, and a great story. I cannot even begin to fawn more over this first pick, obviously. It is absolutely STUNNING.

So ruffles might be a bit much for some people, but i thought this dress was flawless. It flattered her body even with all of the ruffles and i just think it was so classy. She really looked beautiful. The dress is called the "Fantasy Gown" and is by Monique Lhuillier. Interesting name, huh? This is the moment Emily has been waiting for. This is part of her new Fall 2013 collection and the price is not listed. There was detail on the bodice, and delicate ruffles, i thought it was fabulous. The sweetheart neckline, the diamond necklace, the fullness of the skirt, it was beautiful. It was silk white with embroidered lace and had organza tiers. Perfection. 

Next was Margo's little red dress. 

I thought it was cute, fun, and simple. It is the "Allie" dress by J.Crew. It is made of wool and silk and features tailoring at the bust with a straight skirt. It is a sleeveless fit and flare so it can be dressed up for down and i just love it with the chunky chainlink necklace. It even has hidden pockets! It retails for $148 which is a great price. Simple, well made, and flattering.

I have to throw in a hated piece in here (sorry) or i feel like it wouldn't be me. 

Here we see Victoria in, well, this thing. It is a pink Aigrette dress by Alaia. First off it is my most hated color in the world, mauve. Yuck, the name of the color is even terrible. Its a boat neck dress with a little texture and a pleated skirt. I just thought it was awful. She looked washed out, old, and it accentuated the wideness of her hips. She actually looks half dead wearing it in the picture. Its sleeveless, retails for $3,329 although i have no idea who would want to pay that for this. Its material is mostly Viscose. A huge NO from me overall. 

Lastly is Emily again. Her whole outfit is super cute and very classy.

She is wearing a grey Ark Suiting Blazer by Helmut Lang and a polka dotted "Anabella" top by Soft Joie. It has a point collar detail, single front button, and padded shoulders. It is mostly viscose and features three buttons on the cuffs, two front slit pockets, and a back vent. It is a classic look, with a unique collar and creates a modern, tall, slender look. It retails for around $361, a price well worth it. Her shirt is a soft peachy/pink polka dotted collared shirt by Soft Joie that retails for $142. It is made of viscose and features a left pocket and full button closure. She pairs the tops with classic black dress pants and a gold belt, tucked in, to create a modern, timeless, business casual look. Bravo!
