Elie Saab - Classic Couture

Inspired by the jewels of a crown, a rich and and royal pallet of colours was exactly what Elie Saab dished up in this Fall couture line this season. Emerald, ruby and sapphire were the stand out hues in simple designs, leaving exquisite draping and breath taking bead work to steal the show. With no shortage of champagne and a wedding gown finale, I shall hold my breath until award season begins. Red carpet moment alert!

What Winter Looks Like: Chanel Fever

'Old world meets new', 'tradition with future' are few of the comments being made on the 2013 Fall Couture collection of Chanel.
The old was shown through details of fichus, portrait neck lines and volume filled shapes provoking the luxurious Victorian feel. The futuristic was felt through the eerie metallic materials of shine and pavéed sequins.
With a belt everything attitude in hand, the theatre like performance showed stylists and buyers alike what this winter looks like. (With no shortage of a tweed jacket or two!)

Ps, what a stella photo of Erin Wasson & the lovely Karl Largerfeild for the finale.

Tuxedo Madness

Someone says 'designer sportswear,' you generally think.. Stella McCartney for Adidas?
Until now that is, the racer stripe of a loose fit trouser, suit pant or cigarette pant will fit into your wardrobe easier than your little black dress.
Not only a key staple for monochrome dressing, the sleek stripe adds a little more fun to your 'typical slept in, only have 10 minuets to get ready' favorite.

For a causal look, try a plain black or white t-shirt and statement necklace in silver, a sharp blazer and red lip for work with a pointed kitten heel and for a weekend with the girls? Colour block all you can! Stick to a simple top in a bold colour, such as fuchsia and accessories with an tangerine bag and lip.  

I'm Back! + VOGUE Online Shopping Night

No posts lately? No coincidence!
As some of you may or may not no, I've recently been jet setting around Europe. 7 weeks of jet setting to be precise. So as I excite you for many travel photos and many more fashion posts to share, I believe I have made it home just in time for possibly one of the most unmissable dates on the fashion calendar: Vogue's Online Shopping Night.
With many fashion retailers on jumping on the bandwagon it's a great excuse for you to snap up that new knit or pair leather pants you've been eying off weeks now. Discounts, free shipping and gifts are offered with purchases as a part of the promotion to boost the economy of all things fabulous.
Scrolling through my Instagram (abbieatt) and emails this morning I was flooded with great deals, that of course I had to share!

Enjoy your online shop, and leave a comment of any purchases!

#MBFWA: BEC & BRIDGE

With the two Australian bomb shells being in business since 2003, they are certainly no longer the rookies of Australian Fashion Week, currently being held in Sydney.
With a now international following and exclusive Tony Bianco designs, their Spring/Summer 2013/14 collection was one that left the fashion following begging for more.

Highlights included white, pajamas like silks floating down the runway in such feminine easy and wearable silhouettes. The effortless and futuristic glam continued as whites morphed into metallic pastel sheens and prints. Not to mention the tailored vests and white sequins.. oh my!

Over all the collection was a hit, with many pieces being snatched up straight off the runway from a hungry crowd of fashion goers.

Now to wait until 4pm to watch the marvouls Alex Perry and his                  
beautiful new Spring/Summer range.
The show can be viewed here at at JASU.com
Enjoy Fashion Week Australia everyone! X
