amFAR gala - best dressed

how special is it when you can stare at your favourite stars all glammed up like it's Oscar night, and know at the same time that an amazing cause received an incredible amount of awareness and funds.

I can't really think of anything better than that. Stars supporting events like the amFAR Cinema Against AIDS gala, which took place last night in Cannes, is really a win-win situation: stars get amazing press and the cause gets much-deserved attention.

So now onto it. Who dazzled the most at the gala?

Two of my favourites:

Emily Blunt looked absolutely regal in a cherry red gown by Georges Chakra. Her natural hair and pop of red lips, along with the cut out back, give this otherwise sporty shape the perfect splash of girly sexiness.

Another stunner was Camilla Belle. Her black Gucci gown is anything but boring with a sheer bodice and crystal detailing. I love her hair style and the fuschia pink lips give the look a little spice.

dior brings paris to shanghai

Just days after Chanel's resort 2011 show in glamorous st tropez, john galliano presented Dior's resort collection on the other side of the world in exotic Shanghai. the collection was a playful mix of structured jackets, flowy and flirty spring dresses, romantic gowns and Galliano's perfect tailoring.

chanel resort 2011

chanel presented its resort 2011 show this week in st. tropez. the breezy, aeclectic collection is straight out of a 1970s movie, and features tribal, western, slightly gypsy inspirations and flavours, with just a pinch of bohemian. models strolling barefoot down the street-come-catwalk screamed of summer and makes me pine for the ocean breeze.

met gala

my favourites at the 2010 met gala.

sienna miller in pucci. sexy, edgy, very her.

kate bosworth in valentino. what can i say. kate is always perfection.

emma watson in burberry. edgy but still appropriate for a gala.

diane kruger in calvin klein. diane can do no wrong and this is minimalism to perfection. i don't think anyone else could have pulled this off but she does it right.

camilla belle in jason wu. she is the queen of glam in a sweeping red gown. just the right amount of sexiness.

vienna - the most beautiful city in the world

i may have an unhealthy obsession with wedding stuff. the bf and i have been together more than 5 years now, so i guess it's a topic that's been on my mind (not to mention a topic that's brought up by parents/family/friends/random colleagues on at least a weekly basis).

so it should come as no surprise that i'm imagining what the big day will look like. i have several friends who are in various stages of planning their own weddings, and i admit that i'm really excited for the time when i can begin to think about ours.

so, without further adieu, here are some of my recent wedding inspirations:

wedding dress of a friend of a cousin. they're best friends so i can't duplicate this, but it's a freakin' dream. i love the romantic, flowy feel of it. i may add very delicate spaghetti straps, but so far, this is the most magnificent dress i've ever seen.


how incredible would this dress be for bridesmaids? the flowy fabric refrences the dress above, and the soft cotton candy colour adds an element of spring romance that is like something out of a french film.

i really like kate winslet's makeup here. romantic, just a touch of drama in the eyes, but not overpowering.

i am a brunette with very likely a totally different hair type than smg's, but this style is gorgeous. bohemian and a little romantic. perfect.
