Elie Saab....Fall 2009..........bringing back old Hollywood

A little edgier (like the peace sign cut out in glittery black gown), but very reminiscent of old Hollywood glamor...back when movie stars at least pretended to have grace and elegance!!

Carolina Herrera.....

Ok, so they aren't over the top....but this is one of the most consistently elegant and sophisticated Fall 2009 collections I have seen. Sexy necklines, body conscious silhouettes and just enough draping. Fresh and classic...lots of staying power. I am crazy over this new collection...and I have followed Carolina Herrera since my college days.

Phillip Lim for Christian Louboutin.....2009

These are so perfect!!
