I really like the Zac Posen dress with the ribbon details in the skirt.
I just added you to my blogroll! It seems crazy that I didn't have you there before...I'm always popping by to ogle the pictures in your gorgeous posts. :)
I couldn't take my eyes off of John Galliano Resort. I need to go and look up that collection! :)
I think that it's an awesome idea ... it's about time :) I love Luisa Beccasia frilly dress... so pretty and wearable
I love the Hussein Chalayan, the Zac Posen and the Luella and the Christian Lacroix evening bag. Wow, that's a lot.
ooooooh, so exciting.... I'm working on some new ruffly neck-pieces ...for my etsy shop.
These are all fantastic!!!!!

Dear, Carrie, I am in love with that Kate Spade Lady Marmalade ball charm bracelet. I do have a Jcrew version of the Ann Taylor bracelet. It is big golden ball charms. It is a whole lot of bracelet. But, I do love it.
Very very eyepopping. It reminds us of a pop-up book. Kind of like the new issue of Visionaire magazine that they are set to release.
incredible designes!!!
all amazing :D
xoxo
hi! thanks for visiting my blog! i loved your blog – i work with fashion too… but as i write in portuguese, i can only invite you to see my photos… by the way, i have another blog – about paris – where i post a lot of photos about this lovely city. i hope you’ll enjoy it too (www.comsaudadedeparis.com)! welcome!!! kisses!
me en gustado mucho las imagens que pones, creoque yo tambien quiero copiar eso del pañuelo..saludos
yes, esp. like that gorgeous blouse at the end. loved the Chalayan and Victor & Rolf.
hussein chalayan was magic !! simply amazin
Ms Couture Carrie. I seem to have missed the last couple of posts so i'm pleading with you: Can i add you to my blogroll? lol so it doesn't happen again? haha
Alot of those dresses are eally beautiful and a dozen of them i WISH i could afford and wear especially the Alexander McQueen and P.L-3.1 number!
galliano resort= amazing
great post i love it :]
I think I'm ready to dress in three dimensions. The shoes are stunning!
Good picks as always! I could do all my shopping from your posts, if only I had the dough.
LOVE all the accessories in this post. 3-D on the body... nah... I don't think so... if I were model stick like... it would work... but with all my curves... I've got my own 3-D going on!
FUN post!
the first dress is lots of fun.
too much for me... i like to see it in photgraphs, but too impractical... except for that Subversive Toy necklace. Gorgeous!
love zac posen right now.
Subversive necklace is divine. I'll have to save that image. Vera wang tunic is to die for. I'd better check it out. I'm sure it's going to be out of my price range but I can certainly put it in my wish list for my fairy to pay!!
Isto aqui é um luxo, amamos este Blog!
Beijocas,
I love all the waves. Anything that reminds me of the sea (except, say, giant fish jewelry) is a winner for me!
STUNNING CHOICES. You KNOW I would wear all of it. Esp the Burberry and Phillip Lim. And that Vera is a truly versatile piece.
The tube dress you've chosen is awesome! I love the eye makeup on Chanel.
yay for massive necklaces!! I love that stuff. Just purchased a 3-d necklace last night that you must see, I'll be posting pics today hopefully...
Oh, this post was just so fab. All of the embroidered items are simply awesome!
