i love navy, it's such a clean and crisp alternative to black. i especially adore that navy houndstooth!
I really love this colour. And I think it looks just as good in summer and winter.
Great post.
Hi there!! navy is a gorgeous colour for Autumn, particularly in velvet-another great post, Couture Carrie!!
Navy is very savvy for year round unlike black. Adore the Lanvin dress, yummy!
i love navy!
i'm glad black+navy is no longer a faux pas (: makes matching things a litttlee easier
I love navy so much, and this is a great overview of its awesome capabilities! Such a great alternative to black :)
wow thanks for this post..i've just bought a navy jacket which is awesome from h&m..
and thanks for adding to your blogroll too! in detour2mode we also are huge fan of you..waiting for my netvibes feed to show me you added new post!
Ooh...I like!
I used to hate navy due to childhood trauma (a pair of awful navy corduroys). Now I'm liking it more as long as it really looks blue and not almost-black.
This is absolutely gorgeous, I love navy as an interesting yet understated alternative to black. Love the Valentino dress, oh and the Chloé one is simply a work of art!
I am obsessed with navy for this fall. I think a lot of people think it's boring or too old so they overlook it but it's really elegant and, like emily said, a great alternative to black! So many people turn to plums and oranges in the autumn, which are great, but navy is just so classic and sets the wearer apart in my opinion!
Hi! I loved everything. Your blog is totally wonderful. I liked from Luella's dress at Nuj Novakhett's bustier dress. Kisses (K)
La Màs Divina! (K)
I adore navy. It's makes so many of my outfits look clean cut. Lovely pictures as always!
I used to HATE all shades of blue until recently. I bought this super cute navy trench earlier this year that is just to-die-for! I get a gazillion compliments whenever I wear it.
Great choices!!
It's such a nice colour! I think it looks good on everyone actually.
love the abaete!
thanks for your good wishes. evrything is fine down in the banana republic region.
btw, i posted my new navy blue blank nyc skinnies on my blog today! so i can be in the "N" sction too. :)
the possibilities are endless for navy.
its sadly overlooked.
I actually think it is a perfect color!
Thanks for showing so many inspirational pieces.
I love abaete. love love love.
Merci beaucoup !
I very very very very love your blog
it is thanks to your blog, what with me give desire to create one, me vien every day to visit you!
A bientôt !
All the best navy choices. There's a dress in this post I'd throw it all away for!
Navy's my favorite color...love the LANVIN dress!
Oh-oh, I love the navy. Especially that ballerina dress!
oh I want that entire Chloe outfit, the detail and colour are brilliant!
I can't get enough of it...this post is so my thing right now! wheeeeeee!
exelente eleccion de fotos, creo que este invierno debo que tener algo en este color...saludos
I fell in love with navy when I saw Emma Watson's Harry Potter premire dress-- the navy Chanel piece. And these pieces are just as beautiful!
Firts of all many thanks CC for your great comment in my blog, also thanks for your nice and kind words.
I just try to be honest and I treasure your comments.
About navy I love it. Don't know why but I stopped buying things in navy... so now I haven't much things in navy, but I'm upgrading ;) lol
That Luella Lois tiered dress is simply amazing!!!
You got great picks.
As always an inspirational post.
xoxo
Navy has always been my go to color, maybe a bit more than black!
I swear, I always end up saving half the pictures you post as inspiration. You pick the loveliest things... I dig navy, especially with collars! Something about that combination is perfect and feminine! I need to get more of it instead of just black.
PS: Read that you reject pictures with too thin models. Love you for it.
it's so weird how a certain color creeps up on you and then you realize half your closet or drawers are full of it. that's me and navy. it's not something i intentionally do but it seems to fit me because i own a lot of navy things. along with grey! have you done a post on grey yet? if not -- maybe a good suggestion?
So true! Navy will be everywhere this season. I love your picks! I especially adore the Abaete and Luella looks. I want a navy maxi and navy peep toe pumps! mmmmm...
Oooh, this gives me some newfound excitement for the navy in my closet!
Ohhh beautiful post! I am loving navy so much at the moment, it's so classic.
And I couldn't agree more about black and navy no longer being a faux pas. I think black and brown look great together too...if it's good enough for the french then we should abandon these outdated rules too! :)
so incredible! bravo!
I can't believe wearing navy with black was EVER a fashion faux pas, they just seem so perfect together!
Navy is a great color. Those shoes are HAWT!
Navy is one of my favourite colours... I'm sure I'll be wearing a lot of it!
the detail of that moschino dress is amazing!!!bnt
Im officially in love with you blog. The photos are so inspiring and wide in variety!
Thanks for your comment!!! We love your blog!
i love navy, it's such a sophisticated colour. i really want the T-Bags ruffle jersey dress, it has a bit of a 1940's twist to which i love!
Navy is easy color to match but surprisingly hard to actually use. Nice toppic to post about.

it's a good colour. very elegant :)
wow i liked seriously every look posted...navy just adds a touch of class
I love that marc by marc jacobs look, well i loved most of that show anyway! Navy is a great colour for autumn and to be honest I think i have been wearing navy and black for ages! Would love that peter som jumper too.
Thanks for linking me, will link you too:-)
lovely
oooh they all look good!! :):) but navy by far, is not the BEST color for me... i look DULL! *pft*
navy = my life. I'm wearing a navy dress from DKNY as I type this! My fashion photo portfolio is navy [and I spent a lot of money on that navy leather!] and obviously all of my detailing for my logo/blog is navy. I'm obsessed and I'm glad there are so many navy options for fall!
I'm in love! Navy is my favorite color, so I literally want every item that you showcased! Am the Armani pumps...I'm speechless!
i was thinking about that phillip lim but what i really want is that proenza schouler dress. fie on being poor!
D
First let me say Great Post! I love all of these navy pieces. I have really been feeling in the mood to buy something navy lately, and this helped me alot!
i need to make a navy skirt.. or two. :)
-issa
