Amanda's Fashion Picks.......My Favourite Fashion Pieces

My favourite fashion collections are always couture and resort. Couture always thinks outside the box and resort always gives me the warm, fuzzy feeling that you get when the snow starts to melt and the sun starts to shine. With the constant snow fall that has been going on lately this is the perfect pick-me-up to the cold grey weather.

Elie Saab

Mighty Aphrodite! This couture collection is beyond beautiful. The soft colours mixed with shots of yellow and sparkles create a soft, floaty collection that makes me want to be a part of Shakespeare's A Midsummer's Night Dream. Ahhh! What a nice breath of fresh, couture air!

Chanel Couture

This show is just pastels, creamy white and delicious all over! It reminds me of cupcakes and confections with the styling conjuring up memories of Sofia Coppolla's Marie Antoinette. The big hair, bows, layers and ruffles are fit for a lady who wears her femininity on her sleeve.

This resort collection is fresh, clean and modern, just the way I like it. The large eyelet fabric combined with the whites, greys and blacks adds a sophisticated sexiness that is perfect for day and good for night.

The Always Inspiring Annie Leibovitz

Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the Vanity Fair Portraits exhibition that was held at the ROM a couple months ago. Luckily however, through my daily Internet browsing, I was able to stumble upon these inspiring and beautiful shots by who else but, Annie Leibovitz.

The legendary photographer took some of these photos a couple of years ago and took inspiration from classic Disney films. My favourite Disney movie, The Little Mermaid is recaptured by the amazing Julianne Moore and the visually stimulating film, Marie Antoinette is captured in still life. Bon appetite!
