Sophie Kinsella wore head-to-toe Alexander McQueen when she attended the New York premiere of “Confessions of a Shopaholic” on February 5, 2009. The author wore a striped column dress
($1595) from the Resort 2009 collection with a pair of to-die-for heart peep-toe pumps
($835) and a hot pink Union Jack box clutch, also by Alexander McQueen.
Victoria Beckham wore the same dress yesterday when she was spotted leaving the “La Briciola” restaurant with hubby David in Milan. Instead of going for the obvious Alexander McQueen high heels, Vicky B opted for a pair of super cute Miu Miu whipstitch patent pumps
($695).
Even though I absolutely love Sophie’s peep-toes, I’ll have to go with Victoria because a) her hair is styled better and b) because she seems much more confident wearing the dress. What do you think?

Joy Bryant was the first to wear this cute strapless dress when she attended the Matthew Williamson New York Store Opening during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week on February 15, 2009. Joy wore her dress with a black cropped cardigan, tights and black boots. She accessorized with a matching black clutch and a big statement necklace.
Becki Newton opted for the same dress at the screening for “I Love You, Man” on March 6, 2009. The “Ugly Betty“-actress finished her look with a black satin blazer, a silver bracelet and matching silver strappy sandals.
Both women wear the dress well, but I slightly prefer Joy in that dress.

So Christophe Decarnin is a genius. I adore his work for Balmain. He’s done such a great job by reviving the French fashion house with his vision of trashy rock chick chic. His last 2 seasons were sensational and if I had $10k spare cash, I would definitely invest in a Balmain piece (either one of those uber-cool jackets or one of the micro mini dresses).
Decarnin’s Fall 2009 collection had a touch of déjà vù about it was like an ode to Spring 2009. The peaked shoulders, the rise and fall hemlines, the strapless mini dresses, we’ve seen all of this in Spring 2009 already, but Decarnin managed to recreate them in a way that made me forget the fact that he was basically just copying his work from Spring 2009.
I loved the feminine silhouettes, the disco dresses (especially the electric blue sequinned ones), the peaked shoulders which have come to be his signature pieces. I even loved the harem pants.
All in all, I mostly loved Balmain’s Fall 2009 collection even though it had nothing ground-breaking overly new about it. I’m far away from being tired of Balmain, but I hope to see something different for the next season. Still, I really ♥ Balmain.

Remember when I featured a white silk dress as dress of the day a few weeks ago? Well, apparently I was not the only one falling for this dress. 4 celebrities has been already spotted wearing this LWD, 3 of which have worn it within 2 weeks.
Michelle Williams was the first to debut this gorgeous white Alexander Wang LWD from his Spring 2009 collection back in October 2008. Michelle wore the dress with a gold bangle and black ankle booties.
4 months later on Feruary 11th, 2009 model Tori Praver wore the same white dress to the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue Launch Party. Tori finished off her look with a pendant necklace, purple clutch and dark grey suede pumps.
Only one week later Marisa Tomei was the third to wear the Alexander Wang LWD to the Children Mending Hearts Gala on February 18th, 2009. The oscar nominated actress wore her dress underneath a black oversized blazer and a pair of to-die-for Alexander McQueen pumps (almost the same as I suggested in my post).
Lindsay Lohan was the last to wear the dress to a Mercedes-Benz Oscar Party in Beverly Hills on February 22nd, 2009. Lohan opted for Christian Louboutin Scarpe Platform Slingbacks to complete her look.
Michelle’s ankle booties were too heavy for the dress and Marisa’s oversized blazer hid too much of the beautiful dress, that’s why I prefer the dress on Tori and Lindsay. LiLo slightly pulls it off better because the dress hugs her curves and the black Louboutin peep-toes are the perfect compliment for the LWD.
