Rachel Gilbert

All that glitters is not gold

I saw some gorgeous sparkly dresses on Net-A-Porter and I thought I should share with you- for all of you  fashionistas who like to party, here are some beautiful pieces to inspire and indulge your senses in.

Rachel Gilbert Paige bow sequin dress. What a beauty! I love the 2 shoulder bows and the sweetheart neckline with the tank-top look. Don’t be afraid to wear it during the day to a cocktail party, you can shimmer your way through the drinks to the admiration of every pair of eyes in the room.

Sass & Bide Going it Alone dress. Heidi Middleton and Sarah-Jane Clark never make mistakes. Every garment they make is strong and sexy. This strapless frock is flattering- it molds to your torso, cinches your waist with a pin-stripe bow and flares out around your hips with just the right amount of sparkles. Another high-recommended dress!

Sonia Rykiel sequin embellished dress- definitely on my lust-have list. This is a classic, nude is flattering on any skin tone. The origami bow nipped at the waist is very dramatic. The sequins used here are the small metallic ones, so the dress is probably not light, no need to go to the gym then.

YSL sequin strapless jumpsuit. This is rather reminiscent of Giorgio Armani’s tailoring. I love the velvet bow around the waist. I am a big fan of bows and jumpsuits. Plus this is a harem-style jumpsuit, tres chic!

Rachel Gilbert again- her Lindsay sequined satin dress. Cute neckline- very frivolous, love the diamond detailing. This dress would be cute to wear during the day with black footless tights. Gotta make the most of the sparkles!

Girls, shimmer on!

Winners may get ribbons, but Bows tie

by cecylia on October 24, 2009

My latest fashion adoration is bows. Most of my headbands and shoes have bows. I like to tie bows around my waist when wearing dresses. We all wrap gifts with bows. Call me feminine, but bows are so sweet and pretty.  Below is a selection of gorgeous pieces with bows- all tied at different places. And for those of you whose favorite color is green:  enjoy!

From top to bottom: Chloe satin green bow belt, Rachel Gilbert bow wool minidress, Ruffian silk twill blouse, Chloe silk draped skirt, Valentino wool-blend dress, Thread social bow sweatshirt and Valentino satin bow front clutch.

I am inspired to wear bows everyday. Just limit it to one garment/accessory to not look like Minnie Mouse.
