NYFW: Bibhu Mohapatra RTW Spring 2015 Favorite Looks!

This is a designer that I had never heard of before I was searching through style.com and came across their Spring 2015 presentation. I am officially lost for words about this collection. Let's be honest, no I'm not; I always have something to say! Stunning, daring, high end, classy, GORGEOUS! Let's just get into the looks that I am DYING over from this show.

 

 

 



I can't. I just cannot. This look just popped straight out of the matrix and this model is changing all of the rules about which pill to take. Not following? That's okay.. This look is futuristic in all the right ways. It is edgy and structured without being "foiled" and ugly. So let's get this look on one badass celeb or two.

Celebrity that I would style this on: Rosie Huntington Whitely. I would probably remove the sheer "wings" if you will and the matrix sunglasses, but keep the hair up and out of the face with a dark crimson lip. The perfect look for fall on a red carpet.

 

This dress is super conservative compared to my usual taste but it could be styled so many different ways. It is a great versatile piece that any collection could use.

Celebrity I would style this on: Kim Kardashian with a strappy shoe and a sleek ponytail. It just fits her signature style as of late. Also, Leighton Meester with a fuchsia/berry lip, tousled big curls and a plum statement shoe.

Let's just cut to the chase with this look; it's simple, sophisticated and lady like. I mean who else would I style this on? Let's be real.

Celebrity I would style this on: Kerry Washington. DUH! Minus that crazy hair.

Once again, this dress just screams Kerry Washington to me. It is classic, floral and streamlined, but let's give another celeb a chance to rock such a beautiful frock.

Celebrity I would style this on: KERRY WASHINGTON!!! But seriously, if not her then Cate Blanchett. She is about the only actress more lady like than Kerry. I would style Cate with a mauve-y, pink lip, slicked back low-do and a nude shoe of course.

This dress is heaven. I am a red lover and this dress just made me even more infatuated with the classic hue. This gown holds the most classic lady like silhouette and would look stunning on just about any celebrity that I could imagine. The sequined bold flowers and cascading sequins down the gown just add that extra bit of pizzazz required to end up on a best dressed list.

Celebrity I would style this on: Katie Holmes or Anne Hathaway with side swept hair & a bold red lip.

 

 

Needless to say I am slightly obsessed with this designer. I am always a fan of lady like silhouettes and classic hues and this designer seems to fancy both. I will definitely be keeping my eye on their looks in upcoming seasons and if I ever was fortunate enough to be able to style fashionistas, this designer would be one I would seek out!

 

Thanks for reading babydolls!

NYFW: Carolina Herrera RTW Spring 2015 Favorite Looks!

Another day, another fashion show! So, who are we going to talk about today? Carolina Herrera!!! So excited to talk about this designers presentation because the looks are completely my taste. So let's cut the chit chat and get straight into these classy looks from one of my favorite designers.
All of these looks are from the Carolina Herrera Ready-To-Wear Spring 2015 Collection.

This color!!! Probably the main reason that I love this dress, but also because the square neckline and unique seam lines make it simple yet interesting. I can see this hue looking unreal on someone with caramel to dark skin.

Celebrity I would style this on: Freida Pinto with a sleek ponytail and an embellished belt and glowing neutral make up.

The detail on this dress is exquisite. Not only do I love the "layered" top look, but also the draping down the side to add some drama to an otherwise simplistic gown. Plus, this color is everything! The pale yellow hue of this dress is sure to flatter a wide array of skin tones and can be styled a million different ways.

Celebrity I would style this on: Olivia Munn. This color would compliment her skin tone beautifully and I would pair it with tousled locks and a bold ruby lip to really step this look up!

 

This dress; once again with the stunning pale yellow, but much more everyday. The sheer cut outs on the waist give it a little edge, plus the unique hemline add some extra dimension to this dress.

Celebrity I would style this on: Rachel McAdams at a photo call or charity event, with her super blonde blow out and a perfect pink pout. 

Now, I will have to say that this dress is truly not one of my favorites of the show, but with that said, I can picture this gown on so many celebrities. This gown, on the right star, would be classic and beautiful. Plus, the design truly is stunning, just not to my particular taste.

Celebrity I would style this on: Kate Walsh with her deep red hair to one side would be so classic in this gown. Throw in a mauve lip and small simple jewelry; the look would be so timeless.

I am OBSESSED OBSESSED OBSESSED with this gown! Match this flowy dream dress with the correct star and you are sure to end up on the best dressed list!

Celebrity I would style this on: I'm torn between Rachel Bilson and Mila Kunis on this one! Both I would style with a relaxed up do and a petal pink lip!

The structure of this dress is gorgeous; so interesting and invigorating for the eye to look at. This is a look that a nominee should wear to make a splash on the red carpet and really attract a lot of attention. White can be a tricky color to pull off, especially on a red carpet, so the right celeb would have to get their hands on this to make it work.

Celebrity I would style this on: Zoe Saldana. She is about the only actress that could wear this and shine through all of the structure. I would have her wear a watermelon lip and a heavy side part with large loose curls to combat the structure of the gown.

 

Hope you all enjoyed this review and keep your eye out because many more will be coming!!

NYFW: Badgley Mischka RTW Spring 2015 Favorite Looks!

New York Fashion Week is finally here!!!!! This will be my first post in a series of posts about my thoughts on the designers presentations and which celebrities I envision wearing these designer duds. I have so many shows that I want to discuss and honestly cannot decide which one I want to talk about first, so to make this decision easy we will go in ABC order (sort of... ) and start with Badgley Mischka! These are my favorite looks from the stunning presentation that these extraordinary gentleman put on for NYFW!
All of these looks are from the Badgley Mischka Ready-To-Wear Spring 2015 Collection.

This ethereal blue shade automatically caught my eye as I was flipping through the looks of their runway show. Add the perfect pale blue with a timeless silhouette and I am immediately suckered in. Not completely sure of my feelings on the matching eyebrows, but I am a fan of the blue streaked hair; which is a trend that I am happy to see is not going away.

Celebrity I would style this on: Keira Knightley at a photo call with some emerald jewels.

This neckline!! I mean, come on. Combine the most universally flattering neckline with flawless detailing and a beautiful muted color palette and you can just about style this on anyone. I am loving the flowyness (totally not a word) of this gown, but it might be too simplistic to wear on a red carpet. Therefore, you need a stunning woman to make this dress pop! (Minus the blue brows..)

Celebrity I would style this on: Margo Robbie with her dark hair in a sleek up-do (especially if she was presenting)

Okay, so when I first saw this, I was just like "nope!!" But then, I looked at it again and realized that the main reason I did not like it was because of the sheer skirt with the "granny panties" underneath. I am not the biggest fan of this trend, but if the celebrity has the right body for the gown, this could be gorgeous! The beautiful detailing on the top of the gown plus the whimsical lavender shade reminds me of Elie Saab in a lot of ways, but edgier. Once again with the matching purple brows though.... I don't really get what they are trying to accomplish there.

Celebrity I would style this on: Ariana Grande at the Grammy's! It is not really her style as of now, but it should be! [SIDE NOTE] I can definitely see Katy Perry wearing this but I would hate it. Just saying.

This dress is beautiful, flowing and chic. I love it. As a matter of fact, if I was a celebrity (or had a stupid amount of money) I would wear this gown. It has a beautiful shape, a timeless print and a beautiful array of purple hues. LOVE!

Celebrity I would style this on: Miranda Kerr with a vampy lip minus the awkward silver shoulder bow. This gown practically has her name written on it.

I hope that you all enjoyed my quick review on the Badgley Mischka RTW S15 runway show and keep an eye out for more runway reviews coming your way!
