Elie Saab is one of my favourite designers, and not just because he’s Lebanese. His collections are amazing, so regal, feminine, dream-like, but still sexy. Saab was the first Lebanese designer to be seen on the red carpet,made famous by a dress Halle Berry wore to the Oscars he basically became famous overnight. With studios in Beirut, Paris, and Milan his gowns are extremely coveted (especially by me and my sister who spent hours gawking at the newest collection recently). Though these haute commodities are up there in dollars, maybe they’ll serve as inspiration for you. They are works of art. See his collections here.

hunting for the perfect one
Ladies, I get it, you search high and low. You have an image in your head of what it should be like, and sometimes you tell yourself you won’t settle for anything less, and other times you think “this will do” but in your heart you know that when you find the real thing, you should just stop looking. If you think I’m referring to men, you don’t know me at all! I’m not talking about wedding dresses either, because I have an odd feeling that when that big day comes I won’t be wearing white, but rather a designer gown that I watched walk down a couture runway
So here’s my find, and its definitely the ONE, because it makes me feel giddy and happy, and like running through a field of daisies haha. My search for the perfect party dress has come to an abrupt stop at this Tibi Baroque Print Dress.
The colours of this dress, the quality of craftsmanship, and the silhouette are all reasons that I would justify the $500 price tag. It reminds me of an old New York housewife’s vintage Hermes scarf, and I just love it so much. How long can I commit? Well we’ll see about that, because friends there are so many other fish in the sea, and you can go shop Tibi to find your one and only, get there fast before I swoop in and steal your true love from right under your indecisive nose! Happy HUNTING!!!
designer of the week…. all about “MILLY” by Michelle Smith
I am loving pieces by Milly. The label is the brainchild of designer Michelle Smith, who captures retro feeling prints with feminine silhouettes. I love anything inspired by past decades (excluding the 80s and 90s for now). You can buy Milly pieces from Shopbop.com, you can also use it as inspiration when purchasing more affordable items on the market.
