I got up this morning with the idea in my head to start expiramenting with a few key Fall pieces. Glamour items, (polka dot tights, lace, rhinestones, silk, satin, red lips) is what I will be sporting come September and frankly I cant wait (hence me putting on fall items when its still August.)
Anyway, I ended up channeling the incredibly beautiful (and glamorous) Balenciaga Fall 09 collection with my first 'DIY,' if something so terribly easy can actually be qualified as DIY. You might know the collection because of the Georgia May Jagger editorial in Paris Vogue that has been circulating the blogosphere like the latest Balmain jacket.
Anyway it wasnt difficult... at all. I loved adding the polka dot tights for an extra Balenciaga-esque addition.
See the article on how I did it all here.

That is so brillant! I must do that DIY soon. I love this outfit, this is an outfit that relates to me more than you usually do. I love the old Hollywood glamour look!
I have an obsession with patterned tights. I have yet to get any polka dotted ones, which seems crazy, I know. But they look really cute on you. And now I want some even more.

you look absolutely fantastic! I have just made a dress based on a Roksanda Ilincic creation, and your dress with is swooping cascading purple silk reminds me of it...I too have been drawn to Balenciaga's skirts, I love they way they fall-and the tights are pretty good too!

Nailed it! And frankly, I can't wait for fall either. I'm sooo reading to start layering :)
Great pull of inspiration.
Love Grace.
finally a nice outfit, but still an ugly face
GORGEOUS sister!!
this is really well done. it's easy to throw together a DIY and have it look like a home-made craft project but yours is chic and fashionable. beautiful work, darling. love the pairing of the tights, as well

loooove those polka dot tights! the purple color is awesome, and love the draping!
silky tulips! so pretty and the colors are perfect
This look is brilliant! I'm especially love this look because of the dress, I don't know why. Maybe it's the colour of the dress, or maybe it's the shape I don't know. But I think your version of the Balanciaga inspired look turned out brilliantly!
