Heart Stopping Elie Saab Fall Couture 2014

Hello lovelies!

When I checked the PCW schedule for Wednesday I practically screeched for joy when I saw Elie Saab's name grace the list, my sister can testify to that.

Every season collection I am never disappointing with Elie Saab and the beautiful wonderful creations that come down the runway and this year was no exception.

Utterly romantic and lavish embellishments were definitely on the mind when the mood boards were drawn up for this haute couture collection. Generously beaded and ornate prints and laces were to be spotted on the gorgeous flowing gowns with romantic v-cuts and curve emphasizing waists.

The colour palette was also worth taking note for this fall. Warm navys, pinks, burgundys, golds and of course startling whites were featured in the looks not just as tone-on-tone compliments but as soft ombrés. I thought the fur shoulder wraps were a nice touch too.

This is one of my many favourite looks.

Who else just shed a tear for this beauty?

A Ball of of a Time at the Debs

Hello lovelies.

So on Tuesday the 3rd of September I finally got my chance to dress up all fancy in a long dress and spend the night with my friends at the debs. 

After all the time I spent getting ready, getting my make up and hair done I can safely say that guys have it much easier. I'd like to see a guy get an eye liner pencil stabbed in to his eye while his waterline was being tended to! But hopefully all that time was enough to make me look acceptable and suitably 'debsy'.

Here are just a few photos I took on the day.

 Since I am practically useless at all things make up I decided to go make use of the girls at Estée Lauder.

Can you see the sun burning holes through my eyes? Yes, it was that sunny.

I have to say the night was an absolute success. Not only did I get to see everyone from my old year before we all part ways at university but I got to do it whilst simultaneously dancing my feet to bits to perhaps the greatest playlist I've experienced! Definitely a night to remember.  

To anyone who's just had or is about to go to the prom or debs you'll have the best time once you bring a nice sturdy pair of flats ;)

Hopefully the second time will be the charm on Saturday too!

New York Fashion Week Continues (Part 3)

Hello lovelies,

Good evening to all and I hope you're full to the brim with gorgeous pancakes because I know I am. (Cue undoing of the jeans button)

I thought I'd do another blog today because I can't afford to fall behind on the going-ons in New York as London Fashion Week is straight after and I must to be ready for it.

Zac Posen who is known ever so well for his beautiful floor length gowns did not fail to impress this season with brilliantly elegant pieces made from luxurious materials of seductive colouring.









Mathieu Mirano gave us classic chic minimalism with soft tones of cream and black. A lovely neutral yet balanced collection.

 









Carolina Herrera wowed with sleek feminine silhouettes and just perfect detailing. The materials, the pattern, the tones, everything was just perfect from start to finish.











Crazy as ever Betsey Johnson had her models running around in shocked up wigs and gabbing into their phones. The classic energetic and electrical Betsey atmosphere was not lost when it came to the clothes which featured a lot of play on animal prints, bright colours and lots of 'out there' layering.








Now I'm not the biggest fan of Reem Acra but the gowns featured in this collection really were spectacular. An intense sense of feminine power and strong beauty that made quite an impact. 








Right so that's it from me today on NYFW I think maybe I'll be able to squeeze out one more post on New York before I move on to London which, to be honest is what I'm really looking forward too. 

Thanks for reading,
Ciara.
