    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 :)

    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.

    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.

    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 :)

    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!

    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!
