Ice, Ice Baby!

You already know that pastels are IT for fall (scroll down for perfect pastel purses in yesterday's post)! This alluring shade of light blue was featured prominently on the spring runways as well!
Because of its relevant color scheme, CC couldn’t resist posting this photo of an incredibly sited Abu Dhabi home… Credits: Runway pictures via style.com except where noted. Architecture photo courtesy pointclickhome.com.

    ReplyDelete
  26. ice-ice baby indeed...never knew that white rapper can be a post title inspiration! Told ya', I need my daily Vit CC! Hope you take Vit L too dear... ;)

    Loving the cool colour... almost like the ice color in North pole...or is it South Pole??? Hmmm...whatever...

    ReplyDelete
  27. some of these pieces are very unique, esp. that last one, and the double breasted coat w/ the tortoise buttons
    but I don't think I could get on board w/ the lighter hue of this color, too clashy w/ my coloring i think, and I don't have the blue eyes to pull it off
    I like rich rather than faded
    let's trade links already Carrie

    ReplyDelete
  28. The colour suits good to winter... But I don't like it so much as another pastel colours.

    ReplyDelete
  29. that is such a fabulous colour, i loooooove the polkadot bra!

    ReplyDelete
  30. love the Kokosalaki dress

    Now that I think about it, it kind of looks like Balmain's, doesn't it?

    ReplyDelete
  31. I love this shade of blue so much! I can't wait for our fall next year here in Australia to indulge in some cool pale shades!

    ReplyDelete

  35. I think it's more flattering in blondes, but I do have a cashmere sweater that I've not worn in ages! I'll think about it:)

    ReplyDelete
  36. I think Ice blue=a massive dose of cool! the shades used in Lanvin and particularly Louis Vuitton were so intriguing!I love all those ice blue shades & hues as they look great thrown against a host of other colours.right from neutrals to black.This colour is uber cool!I'm on the hunt for the right piece in that colour so thanks for all the varying inspiration.

  37. I don't think I could ever pull off ice blue :/ It does look nice on pale- and fair-skinned people.

    At the Kira Plastinina store, the clothes seemed pretty satisfactory. I had no problems with my dress, or with any other things I looked at.

  54. I adore the Gucci suit, wish I could convince G to rock it! I am also going to attempt the Gucci eye make-up...this isn't a colour I think I could wear head-to-toe, but for accent pieces and make-up it looks fabulous!

    ReplyDelete

    Man's suit is great!

    ReplyDelete
  56. I don't use to like pastels colours, but now there are some ones that I like a lot, such as beige/cream =D
