That's Haute!!

Impeccable fitting, ladylike elegance, gorgeous colors, incredible draping, deconstructed shapes, floral frocks, outstanding origami details, and over-the-top bubble shaped dresses are just a few words to describe Paris Haute Couture Spring 2008 Collections. Most shows were simply genius works of art. Some were beautiful on the runway but wouldn't dare to wear them in real-life. But overall, the couture shows were absolutely divine. Armani Privé was pure perfection and my fave with its edgy uptown girl meets high drama polished femininity.

Below are my top picks from Paris Haute Couture Spring 2008 Collections, you know, just in case I get invited to a wedding or a formal dinner or have to go to baby reception, my people will contact Armani's people to make the required arrangements.. now where's the measurement tape... and my mom's credit card..

Let's Start with Armani Privé...




And next, let's have a look at one of the dresses which i really liked from the Dior collection, which I think is wearable if you're skinny thin and fairly tall...

The following are some of the nicest pieces shown at Valentino show..




And finally I totally fell in love with this breathtaking white cocktail dress from Givenchy..

Don't mean to interfer but why sell it?! I say keep it! It could be a collector's item. Maybe with few alterations you could wear it again? Or maybe give it to a close family member?

Anyhoo... It's your choice at the end ;) Well, You can tryy contacting Madame La Reine. They resell designer goods on your behalf. Check out this post for further details:

Pink, i took some of my mothers Dior Couture dresses from the 70s and 80s and they readjusted them for me making them wearable today. These pieces are truly timeless u should keep them wallah especially since Ferre died this year.
Get in touch with Alex on the
(http://the-polyglot.blogspot.com)he knows the industry inside out. Dior might be interested in buying it back if its an important piece & in Paris their are specialized vintage couture shops that would be interested and know the value of such a dress.

Confashion, did yo see Versace's spring couture pieces? Even though i am not a Versace fan but i was soo impressed, they are truly stunning dresses. I bet we shall see some in the Oscars. Oh and check out Stephane Rolland he is one of my favorites as well.

Chanel Bags on Discount?!

If you thought that getting a cheap Chanel bag that's within your budget is something too far fetched, then think again. You'll be surprised to know that Chanel's boutique located at Salhiya Complex is currently selling several bags, that are a maximum 1 or 2 seasons old, on discount . And we're not talking about a 2 or 5% discount here, these bags are 50% off their original price! For some reason I always thought that Chanel bags never go on sale. But I guess the printed ones or the ones that are made out of the collection's main fabric have to go on sale. Anyways, I managed to take photos of these 2 beauties. What I love about those bags is that they're a classic shape that never goes out of style, their print is young and refreshing, plus they're quilted. I think they could be a collector's item. Both bags featured here are sold for approximately KD 250 .
