Jill Stuart F/W 2012/2013

Not really a Jill Stuart fan but I couldn't NOT post this collection. It really appealed to my personal style aesthetic, which is clean, classic, polished and girly.

My favorite pieces include the black dress with the collar (3rd photo) and the turtleneck/slacks combo (6th photo). The 7th photo was a beautiful unexpected pairing of prints, although I thought the skirt was a bit too casual for the runway show (compared to the turtleneck on the 6th photo which looked a bit more luxe).

So sorry I wasn't able to post a Stylish Saturday yesterday. I purposely disconnected myself from the internet to rest.  I spent my Saturday with my family. We watched the last full show at Abreeza last night. For us girls, it was The Vow and for my dad and brother, they watched Ghost Rider. I found the movie cute, especially their wedding at the museum. Channing Tatum was so hot when he cried, I couldn't help but shed tears myself. My sister Feebee was crying hysterically that my other sister, Timmy, couldn't help but hiss "Shut up Feeb! You're the noisiest crier here!" Haha. Rachel McAdams was so charming. You just get drawn her. I thought the ending wasn't good though. :|

So, how did you spend your weekend?

I'm spending what's left of mine on making lab reports and studying for 2 exams tomorrow.

Have a great Sunday!

Dilek Hanif Haute Couture

I have no words.

Gorgeous. Elegant. Feminine. Luxurious yet versatile. Timeless.

Sorry for my lack of updates. I swear I wanna post all about NYFW which is happening now, but I find that there are too many shows and just 1 of me. Still, I missed doing these kinds of posts. :)

New York Fashion Week S/S 2012: Marchesa

Marchesa has always been a favorite of mine, because they bring out the inner princess in me. This collection designed by Keren Craig and Georgina Chapman was no different. Inspired by the sea, the collection was neutral-heavy, but full of texture given the different fabrics used. Think tulle, draped organza, mesh and the like--really designed to bring an element of whimsy, fancy and magic. I just fell in love!

Here are some of my favorites:

New York Fashion Week S/S 2012: Rachel Zoe

Rachel Zoe is a well-known celebrity fashion stylist, who became famous for introducing the 'boho-chic' look which consisted of  pairing long and loose dresses while excessorizing with lots of huge jewelry and bangles, all on a slim frame. She has worked with a lot of celebrities including Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan and Mischa Barton. She also has her own reality show, "The Rachel Zoe Project", which shows her life as a celebrity stylist. I recently got hooked on it, after they showed it on ETC. How fun it must to be a part of her team--doing pull-outs, piecing clothes together, fittings. It may look and be stressful, but you can't deny, it's one fabulous job.

This is Rachel Zoe's Brigette Bardot/70's-inspired line, which I love, love, love! By the way, it is her first showing at New York Fashion Week. It is so glamorous (she's always said that she's been inspired by old Hollywood glamour), and I can totally see her personal sense of style injected in each and every piece of clothing.

Here are some of my favorites from the line:
