Proliferation, repetition and combination are the names of the game, darlings! More is more, as they say [poor Ludwig Mies van de Rohe would be rolling over in his grave if he knew how often his quip is butchered!]. Spring 2009 is the time to experiment with ruffles, embellishment, and multiple accessories in adventurous shades and shapes. First picture from teenvogue.com. Runway photos courtesy style.com.

Oooh I like the necklaces =)
I loveee these! Great picks, I especially love the Yumi Katsura (?) look.. so lovely!
Thanks for crediting :)
I love the Dior and Lacroix shots. For Lacroix, more has been more from the beginning (but in a low key style compared to what we see now in the fashion shows).
Overaccessorising? Hell yes, CC :)
I adore garnishing simple outfits with that extra something...it gives your outfit the oomph factor!
And that Roberto Cavalli layered dress....whoa! Nice!
How was the luau themed party by the way? Will we get to see pics? Please pretty please? :D
Hope your weekend is going swell.
I love The DIOR's dress! fantastic post! congrats!
