Haute Couture's New Face?

As we are all well aware, the Haute Couture shows of Fall 2012 were fabulous as always, but it was Christian Dior's collection that left me wondering. It's the first one without John Galliano as the driving force, so naturally the fashion world was waiting. And to be perfectly honest, I loved it! Bill Gayten definitely has an amazing expressive side as a designer, and the clothes were stunning! Here are a few of my favourite looks. What were your thoughts on the collection? Which is your favourite? And is this whole Bill Gayten hype just a fad? I loved how the collection flowed from soft pastels to wild birds-of-paradise-like colours, and then to, of course, the ball gowns. Gorgeous! Let me know your thoughts in the comments, and talk soon!

In The Details

Just before I start with my uber-fabulous post, I am sorry for not posting earlier, but we all know why that wasn't possible. Yesterday the blogging world came to a standstill, with many bloggers losing comments, blog posts and some even recent followers! My blogger is still messing with my mind, as you will see with the reasonably large space at the bottom of my page. It's okay, I am not banging the return key, let's all calm down!

As soon as blogger decided to grace us with it's presence, I typed as fast as my dear fingers could go, hoping for not yet another malfunction in the system. I guess that Friday the 13th really is a cursed day in some shape or form. It just goes to show how scary it becomes when a source you know and love is gone. You also realise how scarily obsessed you are with blogging. But no matter. Anyway, back to fashion!



We all love looking fabulous, but sometimes the price sadly outweighs the beauty, and we are stuck with last season's clothes and items we loved quickly going on the charity-box list. The solution, while it may be expensive at the time, is well worth it at season's end. What am I talking about? That's right, detailing!

No matter what the item, if there's detailing, it will always look good! Studs, sequins, you name it! While some of the photos I've got on display may not be of the affordable nature, it's only meant as inspiration - not to be taken literally! I don't want you to all bolt out the door straight to Chanel, max out your credit cards and then say 'Evana made me!' Please don't, I have hardly any money for clothes as it is!

As you can probably I'm just a tad obsessed with the new Chanel Haute Collection, so much so that any time I come across it it's on my blog! But we all love a bit of Chanel here and there, no matter who we are and what our style, so I hope you all don't mind!

Well my lovelies, have a beautiful day, and may your lives be filled with details that never go out of fashion! Also, if you are yet to enter my fabulous contest, come on down and click your heart out!

Hauteingly Familiar

So I know it may have came out a while ago, but I am officially obsessed with Chanel's Haute Couture collection. Three words: It. Is. Amazing. Why do expensive things have to be so pricey? No fair :( Okay, enough of my continuous rants about meaningless nothings, I won't bore you all to death. Fashion. Fashion is what we're here to talk about. Deep breath Evana. You can do it.

We all know Karl Lagerfeld to be the absolute genius behind Chanel, which I know won't last forever but at least hope it lasts for a long time, and this haute couture collection is definitely no exception. With it's classical tweed given a divine twist, as well as classic pieces fit for a queen. Chanel is literally the essence of femininity and classic, and always will be. But enough of my insane rambling, decide for yourselves! And no it is not the complete collection, just my ultimate favourites. It was heartbreaking not including them all, but I got through it!

You must agree, epitome of classical, yes? Express yourself in the comments button down below, I want to assure myself as to whether everyone else is obsessed with Chanel or if it's just me. Help!
