Spring Couture Trend Alert: Very Pretty Pastels

Very pretty pastels dominated the Spring Couture runways this season. Notice how this light, chalky hue is ideal for showing off intricate details and gives off a whimsical feel. Christian Dior took the bold approach and dyed silk taffeta frocks in dusty blue and peach while Elie Saab played it demure with light green and purple. My fave? This yellow tinted one-shoulder Givenchy confection; it's the perfect amount of pastel. Click through to see more pretty pastel looks from Lacroix, Armani Prive, and more!

2009 Spring Couture: Christian Lacroix

Opulent, whimsical, vivid — all adjectives you can count on Lacroix to bring.
by

Opulent, whimsical, vivid — all adjectives you can count on Lacroix to bring. However, considering this is couture, the French great toned things down a tad. There's still plenty of pouf and crazy, but this collection felt tame. Or maybe I just prefer when Lacroix goes mad . . . Influences were varied: Spanish luxe, retro prom, Parisian flourish, but it was unmistakably Lacroix. Some dresses resembled exotic bouquets of flowers, while others an English garden party. Meanwhile, separates were jumbled together to create a high-end hodgepodge — very inspiring. Stacked bangles and oversize earrings were noteworthy. Then there's the bride, in her white and gold decadent glory. As always with Lacroix, I'm smitten.

My recent post on Christian Lacroix's Paris pad, which is up for sale, was a hit with you all. Of course, who could argue with its gorgeous Parisian architecture? It was also chock-full of original art and a hodge-podge of one-of-a-kind furnishings. But Lacroix is also the proud owner of two gorgeous and readily available chairs that certainly caught my eye. To see where you can snatch up the green and purple chairs shown here, read more

Spring Peek: Luxotica

Have I ever mentioned Spring is my favorite fashion season?
by

Have I ever mentioned Spring is my favorite fashion season? Hey — California girl here. It's prime time to sit back and start assembling your Spring wish list. Give your wallet a break. Get to the gym. Get ready because this Spring is brimming with Luxotica.

One of my anticipated trends of the season, designers took walkabouts on the wild side via mixed prints, sexy cuts, embellishments and embroidery, luxe materials, and punchy colors. Some standouts include Rebecca Taylor's highly femme hippie, Louis Vuitton's Parisian tribal parade, and Diane Von Furstenberg's "Rock Goddess" (I will always fawn over those head garlands). Where to begin? Rampant prints — see Emanuel Ungaro's insanely Fab gown — out-of-control jewelry, and lots of skin.

Christian Lacroix Says Adieu to His Painfully Chic Paris Pad

I have died and gone to real estate heaven.
by

I have died and gone to real estate heaven. Haute couturier Christian Lacroix has put his 2,150-square-foot apartment in the tragically hip and fashion-centric Marais district of Paris on the market for nearly $2.6 million. I couldn't help but snoop around for photos, and I almost wish I hadn't: the pad has the unrivaled style of a Carrie Bradshaw ensemble and is plush with original Parisian details such as gilded moldings and French doors opening onto petite balconies. It's also steps from the Picasso Museum and Place des Vosges, the oldest square in Paris. Apparently Monsieur Lacroix has already moved to another apartment in the 'hood; why he'd want to, I don't know. But, I'm sure Lacroix will carry his theatrical style — and fabulous furnishings — wherever he goes. Check out photos of la maison when you read more
