That last jacket is so classy and stylish. I love it! Now I am in the best mood to go shopping and I have no money. Sigh. LOL!
I love the photos. I have never tried out the peplum, but maybe I will. I have a big booty so the extra material could prove fatal =)

I really love the last jacket! *sigh*

I love the skirts in this post!
Peplum is brilliant - it adds volume and shape when needed and conversely pars down if that's what you require. It is a wonderful cut - you can tell I like it!
I gasped at the Victoria Beckham while scrolling down all the fabulous looks.
Ethereal yet structured.
Brilliant.

Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, and Alice + Olivia. Be still my heart. Such gorgeous representations of peplum. Though that Mango Shoulder Pad Peplum Dress isn't too bad either - love the color! :)

Beautiful. I love these kind of dresses!
Good times... I almost forgot about peplum! That purple dress is fantastic! xoxox
Exaggerated peplum style reminded me of the fab Joan Collins's'Dynasty' episodes in the 80s...I can hear the theme song now CC! xo*
Love them all!

I love the peplum look, but I don't think I could personally rock it.

I like the Mango dress with shoulder pads~ Except I'd remove the shoulder pads.
Fabulous post!
ahh! i love that stripped dress!
Ooh! Love me some peplum, such a cute curve-enhancing silhouette, and forgiving for those with hips (hip hip hooray)! :)
xx
Love the peplum shape, I have a peplum dress like that black and white one. It's so easy but looks so put together, love it
I'm finding I love peplum looks but you need zero density in the hips to really pull it off. Great finds
Awesome. Especially like the top black and white.
I just got a vintage eighties sequined peplum number. I can't wait to rock it!!
Pretty much the ideal wardrobe right there! *sigh*
fabulous - wow i want to go shopping. And that August 08 W spread - that one was so good, its incredible how flawless christy turlington is!

Fantastic post as usual ! I really adore that black Lanvin look.
I love the Victoria Beckham dress, I was so suprised at how much I loved that collection. Also, Dior Couture was a knockout.
You create the most wonderful, thorough, detailed posts. Another great one. xx
Love the Carolina Hererra!
I love this look...I haven't tried it but it's on my list! Maybe I'll write a little letter to it. HA

I love peplum skirts and dresses. There's just something so girly and flirty about them. Fabulous picks, CC!
xo, Becs
I don't think this flatters my body :(
Oh so fab, CC! I love Luella S/S 2010 the most. So pretty and fun :)
It's just great the way you covered all these trends and wrapped it up all in one great post.

I love the Alice + Olivia number with the sequined top half, I'm such a sucker for anything with sequins on it, but I just love the contrasting textures - great post, as always!!

Love the blog post title--quite the tongue twister! Love the architectural element that this detail adds! Hope you had a lovely weekend CC! xx
What's amazing is that women try to be as thin as possible these days, just to look bigger in these sort of silhouettes! Such a weird concept to me.
This look is so classy and feminine. I really like how it shapes a woman's body. Beautiful pictures you picked out, Carrie. Very inspiring.
love peplum and a fantastic collection of photos, xoxo
i LOVE these shapes but am totally afraid to buy something like this for myself!
