Stella McCartney's Dots

I love when the Vogue & Elle Collections issues come out! Makes for quite an indulgent afternoon sipping an iced mocha while spending a couple hours looking over what's new on the runway.

Stella McCartney's black dotted illusion lace dresses were some of my favorites. They're pretty sexy, but still leave a bit to the imagination. I like how the lines of the different materials do something interesting with the silhouette. I'd really have to be feeling a little daring to wear some of these though! The peplum pantsuit (4th one down) is my absolute favorite. I'd LOVE to rock that outfit with red lipstick & shiny heels! 



Since the pieces above are most likely well over most of our budgets, here are some more affordable and similar dotted illusion pieces from ETSY. The second one (the blouse) has tiny little dotted hearts. Cute!

2 sides to every outfit.

I know it's a year old, but I find Alexis Mabille's Spring 2010 collection interesting. Some of the 2-colored designs reminded me of a person I met a couple of years ago. The one-sided bright hair is fun. Would you wear either of these outfits? I think I'd try the red and black one.
