While I was on my holiday a few weeks ago, I stumbled across the Dolce & Gabbana A/W 2012 show on another blog. The decadent, baroque look is not something I'm usually drawn to but the more photos I saw from this show, the more details I noticed from the hair accessories, jewellery, ornate prints and lace socks, to the natural glowing makeup. Just the little bit of inspiration I needed when wondering if this winter will ever end.
Also, I updated my blog shop last night with lots of new things and marked down all existing stock! I have made a special discount coupon for you lovely blog readers; just use the code 'special20' at checkout to get 20% off your order.
I love how opulent it all is! And the fact that the makeup and hair is actually pretty. (I understand the crazy hair and makeup that some designers choose for their models is all for art, but usually it's not actually attractive.) And I would actually wear some of this. If it was maybe taken down just a tad. That black floral dress, without the puffy sleeves, for instance.
I really like that about the show too, they did a good job of toning down the hair and makeup so that the overall finished look is still very over the top but not crazy! The black floral dress is my favourite too and Romwe does a very good inspired piece that doesn't have the puffy sleeves (you can see it on my Instagram if you're interested) x Sushi
I really like this whole collection. It looks so exclusive and so classy and at the same time very vintage <3 I really like it. Those sunnies are unique + jewerly <3 just wow.
The earrings look so heavy! The embellishments on the sunglasses are really interesting though. And they seem like they would be fairly easy to recreate.
I loved the details in your post! Thank you! I just posted something about this collection a few days ago - It reminded me of Frida Kahlo- in gold! , or something out of "the Borgias"..:) you are welcome to read- http://thehomeblues.blogspot.co.il/2012/07/dolce-dolce-dolce-gabbana-and-frida.html the look also reminds me of Ulyana Sergeenko a little - http://thehomeblues.blogspot.co.il/2012/07/my-russian-blues.html
I am happy they are all on the same page :) Braids and hair accessories it is!
LOVE this collection! The china roses and florals and gold gilt are all so superb. It's so refreshing to find a current collection that appeals to your own personal style. Thanks for sharing. Following you! =)
