La Croisette is waiting for us

Yesterday, Dior presented its Dior Croisiere Collection 2016 in Cannes. The most luxurious and glamour croisette of Europe.  Dior presented its pre-spring/summer collection in order to give a preview of the upcoming November complete collection to the fashion's lovers.

The Croisiere Collection was shown at Palais Bulle on 11th  of May, in Theoule sur Mer, Cannes. In my opinion Cannes is a really appealing place with all its famous brands' shops, all the fancy and elegants restaurant and the Casino but when I went there last month I was a little bit disappointed, I don't know why. Maybe because it was cloudy and it was Easter but I didn't feel the sparkle! I always wanted to go there but it was not as I believed, unfortunatelly. However, I strongly believe that if you are invited to the Film Festival or to a high-level fashion show, you will see the other side of Cannes and not the tourist one.





Lately, Dior, always give me the impression of dawing its inspiration from the 60's/70's fashion trends.
It took the old trends remodernizing them with shiny tech fabrics, strange colour matches, tight waists with peplums and curves. I found the collection quite young and not too much demanding.
I liked the crochet skirts and the fisherman net fabric with which they made miniskirts and tank tops.
The thing that I liked the most was the "done on purpose" imprecise hems of the skirts and dresses. It gave a crafty effect on the collection.





























I really appreciated the checked pattern or the typical 70's flower pattern of the fabrics. The collection passed from stripes, glitter, checked pattern to flowers and fisherman nets and fur collars.




My favourite pieces of the collection were the black modern taylored suits and the minidresses with folded skirt and shorts.








Zoe Kravitz aka the It Girl was invited at the show with the actresses Teresa Palmer, Dakota Fanning, as well as Prince Harry's ex girlfriend Cressida Bonas and the Oscar winner and gorgeous actress Marion Cottilard.




 





That's all for now



Talk to you soon

It's Oscars time!

Finally! It's here! The Oscars are here!
And with them they arrived the bestest and waited outfits of the season!
Wow! Last night there were such  amazing dresses that I don't know where to start!
Btw, the main colors of the event were red with a touch of black and white; but of course there were someone who dared more with some different color.

Let's start from the big color: red!
In my opinion, with this dress, Rosamund Pike redeem all the previous "not-so-wow" outfits!
This  Givenchy red embroided dress was amazing! very elegant but modern at the same time. ROsamunf completed her outfit with Lorraine Schwartz jewels.



Now, its' Dakota Johnson' turn! Oh Anastasia you got it!
Dakota chose a bright red Saint Laurent with a jewelry and sparkly strap, all matching with Forevermark diamonds.





Here's another woman who completely won! Behati Prinsloo aka Adam Levine's super gorgeous wife and Victoria's secret angel. She wore a stunning dress by Armani Prive matching the tuxedo of her handsome husband.









Anna Kendrik chose a wonderful custom Thakoon dress with Brian Atwood shoes and Norman Silverman jewelry. She's lovely!



Lupita Nyong'o wore a white, open back custom gown by Calvin Klein with Nicholas Kirkwood shoes. The dress must weight a lot with all those magnificent pearls all over! But who cares.. it's fashion!


 
Jamie Chung remind me of a cute little princess with her Yanina Couture's gown. So sparkly and wispy! Love it!





Margot Robbie opted for a beautiful classic black dress. She wore a  Saint Laurent dress and Van Cleef & Arpels Jewelry.




Emma Stone chose perfectly like always! She never got it wrong recently! She always wear the perfect dress for the occasion.
Last night she wore a lively and sparkly lemon green dress by one of my favourite designer: Elie Saab.




But my favourite outfit of the night were the dresses wore by Chrissy Teigen, Sienna Miller and Zoe Saldana. They completely centred the point!
Chrissy Teigen wore a pastel light blue Zuhair Murad  dress with an amazing slit.
Loved her so much!



Sienna Miller enhanced a creation of one of the biggest and one of my favourite designer, the recently passed away and icon Oscar de La Renta. She wore a super elegant but simple black and blue dress by Oscar de La Renta with  Prada shoes, a Christian Louboutin bag and Forevermark jewelry. So chic!




But the best dressed to me was the beautiful Zoe Saldana. She was beautiful! I mean, she had twins not even two months ago! Look how she perfectly  fit that dress! 
She wore a custom Atelier Versace dress with Versace shoes and Neil Lane jewelry. Amazing!
I would die to look like her in that dress!





Here it is a little close up to a woman's best friends: diamonds! And not any diamonds but Harry Winston's 85 carats diamonds which Karolina Kurkova wore beautifully last night with her pale pink dress. Literally a dream!





Enough about fashion! Here's the winner of the Oscars 2015!
Eddie Redmayne won for the the leading actor, Julianne Moore for the leading actress and JK Simmons and Patricia Arquette for the best supporting actor and actress respectively. Congratulations!



 That's all!
