Glamorous Gowns

First things first, darlings! The three winners of CC’s Ocean Home Magazine Subscription Giveaway are Chessa, Mimi, and Alex Keller ~ congrats!
For Spring 2010, gowns are glam! CC has rounded up some solid work (pun intended) from the runway shows, and the message is clear: color is key! Think delicate swaths of silk-chiffon in candy-colored hues.

  54. All of these dresses are magnificent. They look so soft, I just want to rub my cheek against them. Thanks for wishing me luck on my new blog endeavor.
    Decided to move it to Tumblr, but I hope on top of my style blog and school and work that I can keep up with it.
    Have a great weekend, doll!

  55. Honestly, I want to own that Viktor & Rolf one and just, like, wear it to work. Just around the office, to the coffee machine, at my desk. That would be enough for me.

    Oh, and I'd keep something in that hole. An umbrella or something.

    ReplyDelete
  56. So pretty!!! I love over the top tulle gowns like that Marchesa and the Haute Hippie one.

    ReplyDelete
  57. The peach number with the holes in it, is a hoot.
