Elie Saab SS 2013

today’s closetcast: Bond Girl material

 

These Elie Saab gowns are so luxurious, but remind me less of a princess, and more of a Bond girl. Femme fatale anyone? These gowns will definitely put you in the mindset. Plunging necklines, miniskirt hems, and peek-a-boo lace details are all the required elements for a show-stopping night. Craving some attention??

Stella Jean SS 2013

today’s closetcast: printed madness

I’m loving these flirty 50s inspired silhouettes from Haitian-Italian designer Stella Jean. Aren’t they so fun and vibrant? I’m also digging the way Moda Operandi merchandised these pieces, never fearing an unexpected mix of patterns… so fun! I have a gift certificate from Moda Operandi and may have to pick up one of these numbers before this sale closes up shop for the season!

Vika Gazinskaya SS2013

today’s closetcast: modern lady

Love these elegant frocks from Russian designer (and well-dressed buddy of Miroslava Duma) Vika Gazinskaya. Waaayyyyy out of my price range, but I just love the playful, yet ladylike, tailoring of these gorgeous dresses. The top dress is my favorite, the peplum is not quite like any peplum I’ve seen. Hitting more below the bust, than at the waist, it has a totally different feel from the standard peplum tops you see out in the shops. And look at the crazy hemlines! It’s almost seems like there is a piece of wire in the seam structuring it into that perfect flip.
