Marchesa New York Spring/Summer Ready to Wear 2017 // NYFW

My excuse as to why this post is a month after Fashion Week: I went away for a week and then I came back and I was swarmed with like a million assignments and was like ah. But I'm back now yay! 

ANYWAYS, back to fashion. I love Marchesa. Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig are geniuses and everything they create is just magical. I got a very ethereal vibe from this collection. I found myself feeling like I was in a dream but it also felt slightly grunge. 

The story I (as in, my opinion which is subject to be wrong so don't take my word for it, haha), got from this collection was the main character from a book going into an adventure and turning bad even though they still had some little bouts of good in them. You can see this through the progression of looks going through. It goes from being very light, airy and flowy to something very 'fairy-princess gone bad', with the darker fabrics.

The whole collection is very flowy. The fabrics all flow and dance when the models walk. I can imagine that watching the show would have felt like being high on a drug because everything flows so well. (How many times can I use the word flow?)



However, as we near the end of the collection, you can definitely see more of the lighter fabric colours coming back, the champagne, hues of light pinks and some soft blues mixed in with darker fabrics, creates a great juxtaposition (English major over here). On specific pieces, these light fabrics are also combined with harsher metallics, which is what gives me the 'bad heroine but still good heroine' idea.


The use of tulle is definitely my favourite. I think that it gives a rather weightless, airy, princess effect. It reminds me of floating on air.


Definitely got a symmetrical feel going on in this collection. But then a little number like this one pops up all out of the blue and BAM. I really love this shine on tulle too.



And also there are flowers everywhere and I love it. Flowers just make the world go round. I like that they've utilised flowers in both a feminine, girly sense but at the same time it's also rather bad ass. The red flowers on black is great 





I really love this collection. Maybe it's my inner child, but I'm drawn to collections that are over the top and have long gowns and are couture. And Georgina and Karen do a great job of making me feel that I am living in Beauty and The Beast. 

With Love
- E

    They look astoundingly beautiful. These fine, detailed dresses are always my fave part from fashion weeks.

July: Read, Reading and To Be Read

Image
WJuly is my last month to do some solid reading because university starts in August (which I suppose I should be excited for but I quite like doing what I want) and I've got to sort out other adult things in my life. Don't grow up it's shit. So I've been trying to power read through some books before I get busy. Also I've gotten like a lot of books because my friends got me a heap for my birthday in June. And then I've bought some too...whoops. I have to admit though, I'm not too Read I read The Magicians by Lev Grossman this month. If I'm being honest, I wish I liked this more than I did. People have said it's like an adult Harry Potter, which is true to an extent. There's definitely an R rated dynamic to it but I just found myself disappointed with the book once it finished. This is about Quentin Coldwater who is about to graduate high school and is obsessed with the Fillory series of books (which resembles Narnia very much). He feels emp

My 5 Minute Spring Make-Up Look

Image
I am always in a rush. And I absolutely HATE HATE HATE being late. I never have the time to do my make-up because I'm really lazy and always rushing out the door. If I'm honest, I rather sleep in than do my make-up in the mornings. But sometimes you just need to put something on to look a bit more lively. L'Oreal True Match Foundation (shade: Cappuccino 8W) This does not feel like a foundation to me. It is super creamy and feels really nice on your skin. But at the same time, it doesn't make my skin look oily (and I get such oily skin). It's got medium coverage even though it has a lightweight consistency. Which is perfect for the summer, because I don't really want to be piling heavy amounts of makeup on myself in the hot sun. But when I do a bit more coverage I can build this foundation up. MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural Powder (shade: Dark) I've been using this as setting powder ever since I was 15. I can usually find a drug store foun

January: Read, Reading and To Be Read

Hello! This is actually the books I've read in December but I'm being cheeky and uploading it in January hehe. Hope everyone has had a wonderful Christmas/New Year and that 2016 brings you all the best. Read The book I have read is Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult. I've spoken about this in my book haul and well it is quite a good book. Picoult's writing is so intricate that it continues with such a rhythmic flow that it's impossible to not enjoy her writing. This book is about Delia, who lives a charmed life. She lives with her daughter, her father and is soon to be married to her fiance, Eric and alongside them, their best friend, Fitz. Soon she learns that the life she holds dear, is not the whole truth. Her father gets arrested for kidnapping Delia from her mother when she was younger. Delia comes to learn that she's not really Delia but is actually Bethany who's mother didn't die when she was four. This is not the typical book that I would us
