Dolce & Gabbana A/W 2012/2013 Collection.
O M G!!
This collection is without doubt the
most perfect collection I have ever seen!
Now as you know I am a huge fan of
Dolce & Gabbana, I love all their collections but this season they've out
done themselves.
You can see the essence of
Italian style in this collection starting with the baroque print. I've lost
count of how many days I've sat at home dreaming of a baroque print cape and
here it is; from a cape to knee length and longer length these baroque print
coats are exactly what anyone needs to survive the unpredictable winters. That
hint of luxury on a cold snowy winter’s day.
How amazing are the white and black
ensembles?
Whether it's silk, lace or
embellished D&G have created the perfect 'first week back to college'
outfits (well first week back to college for me). With the added accessories of
a belt, knee length stockings and a classic style handbag (not to mention the
added bonus of a stunning headband); you will complete any look and completely
rock it. The best part is no matter which piece you take from this collection
it will simply fit in to your wardrobe as if you've always had it. Simple
elegance with real Italian class.
Briefly going to mention that amazing
leopard cape and 6 little words - I NEED THAT IN MY LIFE!!!
I don't know why florals are mainly
associated with Spring/Summer, there's been many a winters day where I have
resisted dusting off my florals and teaming them up with a bit of fur. There
are two fitted puff sleeve floral dresses (above) which are perfect for the winter
season. Two different colours and whether you prefer horizontal florals or
florals that decorate the side, perhaps you'd like added sheer lace at the
bottom. These dresses are perfect for any figure and any age especially with
the knee length it makes them more wearable. Classic florals to brighten up the
winter months.
Michelangelo, Da Vinci and
Renaissance these are only but a few words I would use to describe these last 3
looks. When I look at these I simply think of the history, art and romance of Italy from the
16th century courts; to the modern day atmosphere these three looks encapsulate
the Italian history. I love the combination of roses and cherubs they remind me
of romance and of cupid; I can imagine wearing one of these waiting in the
opera house waiting for Puccini's Tosca to start (love the opera). Whether it's
a full skirt, longer length, shift style, long sleeved, short puff sleeves or
an added pussy bow you'll find exactly what you're looking for in these pieces.
A modern day renaissance romance.
As you know when I usually do these
posts I like to pick out my favourite and today is no exception; looking at all
these amazing looks it's so hard to choose my favourite but there is one that
stands out the most. I'm going to draw your attention to the very first look.
This dress to me is everything I and
in fact you could possibly want in a dress; whether it's the black velvet
material, the cinched in waist with the ornate belt, the embellished neckline,
the knee length and the puff sleeve (hiding my problem areas - I don't like the
tops of my arms). This dress is classic elegance at its best.
I will now dream about this dress and
hope the birthday fairy brings this dress to me for my birthday; (wink wink
nudge nudge).
I love every single look in this
collection (and this is only half). I'm always surprised when I find an album
where I like every single song (Julian Ovenden - If You Stay - love him!!); but
it's even more rare to look at a collection and think I want to wear all of
that for the rest of my life. To me this is that collection.
