Marian said...

darling this is such a big trend! i noticed a million and one(ok huge exagerration of course ;O) of brands with garments that feature scalloped edges!
I liked how it was used in the Chloe and Kane collections best.

Ahhh Chloe - I especially love their scallop shorts, as seen on Kate Bosworth. You know, I've never owned a pair of shorts before, I might just bend that rule for them!

I don't actually have anything scalloped yet - but I think it's a nice, edgy mod take on lace or ruffles :)

Narumi said...

I love the yellow dress, the Asos ones are pretty too :)

Lisa said...

Too cute! This post reminds me of those special border-cutting scissors they make for scrapbookers.

Learned a word today !
Scallops rule ;D

Ah that Christopher Kane dress has really grown on me, it's so pretty. I hope there's some kind of high street representation.

freeteyme said...

i love everything in this post! i love that it makes it really "girly" and fab. Those Chloe pumps are just adorable! The simplest details always make a difference.

Tina { Luphia Loves... } said...

Paul Pincus said...

i have a great friend living on east 9th street who has the most amazing scalloped ceiling in the drawing room ... it's stunning.

christopher kane can do no wrong!

Mona said...

I love the grey dress...

erika sorocco said...

I love that Juicy Couture Cotton Sundress. I'm not usually a fan of the color yellow, but the bow at the waist instantly sold me!

Jadore-Fashion said...

nice collection! Love bags and chloe choice!

I love the scallops. Chloe showed some amazing uses for them, which was not over the top. I absolutely love the Gestuz dress. It is bold and still feminine. I also like the Chrostopher Kane and Versace dresses.

Seeker said...

You're the best my dear CC!!!

I think no one talks about a trend better than you and seeing all the details.

I will never though of this.... thanks for calling attention.

Hope you'll have a great weekend, darling

I especially love what christopher kane has done with the scalloped look--perfectly romantic and airy! Great post!

shopinchic said...

I love the Stella McCartney and Juicy Couture dresses, but then I am a big fan of Stella and Juicy! And the Catherine Malandro top is
amazing!
Fabulous finds :)

Ariella said...

Scallops are wonderful! I love how they make any outfit look so feminine and pretty.

Daniella said...

This is a great trend, I especially love the Christopher Kane look!
And thanks, I added you to mine as well!

Sienna said...

LOVE scallops--especially the chloe stuff

MizzJ said...

What a cool trend! I think I would either go ultra-girly and do it in the pinky/salmon floaty dresses, or make it edgy-cute with the color blocking Honey Bunny dress. Anything in-between would look a little school-marmish.

Unknown said...

Love love love love love. That's it, CC. I just love it. Especially the middle colourful strapless dress on the bottom row. ever since that Chloe collectiong. I must find scalloped clothing. And - Twitter is like blogger but less demanding ;)

Megan Cassidy said...

They look like flower petals, i love this trend :)

Nina (Femme Rationale) said...

this is one trend i can't get w/it for some reason. maybe to girly...to sweet? i dunno...i probably just need to find one piece that speaks to me. haha

Anonymous said...

You're Welcome said...

Anika said...

Hey beautiful CC,

I've always been somewhat wary of scalloping but if done right, hearts will flutter. As mine did upon eyeing that versace piece you highlighted. Drool!

Hope you're having a fabulous weekend :)

Fifi Flowers said...

I sooooo would love to go to Fashion Week and be a guest! Years ago LA fashion week... I was working it... so it is soooooooo not fun! I should take that partially back... the drinks and party after the show was ok... but I was too tired to really apprciate it... sigh! And LA fashion week is NOTHING like NYC... another sigh!

Little Bow Prep said...

Ooooh! I like them all. I think my favorite is the Chloé scalloped-edge coat.

Sasi said...

I really love that Chloé collection!
Hope you enjoyed the week-end:)

Frankie said...

Agreed - such a striking look x

Unknown said...

Wow, so scallops aren't just a tasty garnish for mashed potatoes... they also can completely transform a garment's look! I love the look, something that could be plain is given this subtle girly little touch and suddenly it's romantic and fabulous!
