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?

Thanks for reading,

A Hint of Spring at the Screen Actors Guild Awards

Hello lovelies!

Happy mid-week to you all who are definitely having a better week than I am! Mock exams for the Leaving Cert start tomorrow and instead of studying for English and Maths like a good student I'm writing a post about clothes. Oh well who needs to know about complex numbers and De Moivre's Theorem anyhoo!

The Screen Actors Guild Awards were on last night and I have to say I was very much impressed by the standard of gowns that were worn. A fair amount of blacks, navys and whites were to be noted but as Spring time rounds the corner stylists were very much taking advantage of bright colours too.

Looking very elegant in a Christian Dior gown is the winner of best actress, Jennifer Lawrence.
Despite a brief wardrobe malfunction while making her way towards the stage to accept her award she was picture perfect the whole night.
 

Winner of best supporting actress, Anne Hathaway looked gorgeous in a midnight black Giambattista Valli gown.



From across the ocean we have Michelle Dockery from the series Downton Abbey in Chado Ralph Rucci. 



Amanda Seyfried in a youthful navy Zac Posen gown.



 Marion Cotillard supported her French roots in a gown by Christian Dior.



One of my favourites from the night was Jennifer Garner in dazzling gold Oscar de la Renta.



Shout out to Elie Saab and his talents with the gorgeous Nina Dobrev in this bright pink number.



Pink once more this time on Lea Michele in the satin form of a Valentino piece.



That's it from me on the SAGAs. Take note of fresh bright shades of colour whist doing you Spring shopping to add some life into your look.

Thanks for reading,
Ciara.
