Fashion to Decor

Alexis Mabille’s Fall 2009 collection was, by far, my favorite! I loved the soft feminine details and I loved the fact that this is actually something I would wear (which is what fashion is actually about, in the long run). The dress above I loved because of the lace. It reminded me of french cameos, in a way.

It is so refreshing, to me, to see aqua blue with something other than brown! I am so sick of brown and aqua, it makes me sick to see it nowadays. I am ready for something new, which is why I love that Alexis put aqua with black! This dress looks so fresh and flowing. It is my favorite! Hooray for aqua and black!

Of course, pink is still my favorite color! This dress is so simple, yet so perfect. Cream and pink can have my heart forever!

“Is cobalt the new aqua?”

12 Jul

via here and here

What an amazing collection from Giorgio Armani, don’t you think? So, upon seeing this Fall 2009 collection, I had to ask myself, is “cobalt” the new “aqua”? I love this color, always have. It screams Hollywood Glam, but does it scream fabulous to the rest of us? Well, personally I love changing things up, and am always looking for the next best color scheme to add to my decor. I don’t see this color making a huge splash in the decor world, however. I love the use of cobalt blue in fashion, and think it is a total hit, but I find it to be less universal and not as “loving of other colors” as our beloved aqua. So for now, my prediction is aqua is here to stay a tiny bit longer, and I can live with that. Yet, don’t quote me on it, because I have learned to never say never!

So I ask myself, what would the Haute Couture Barbie’s, of Christian Dior’s Fall 2009 collection, house look like? I have a feeling it would look a little like this.
