Fab Frock Friday: Charlize Theron in Dior

***



For this week's edition of FFF, we have Charlize Theron wearing a pale pink assymetrical gown by Christian Dior, on the red carpet for the 2012 Golden Globe Awards ceremony.



She looks radiant as ever in this pale hue. There is something alluringly unexpected about the silhouette of this gown, and the soft pink shade keeps the look very subtle and elegant. I always

I'm in the mood for the colour green... thinking of how lush the countryside will be soon, here in Oz, when the rains bless the land with moisture, in autumn and winter. Those of you in the Northern Hemisphere are, no doubt, envisioning spring's

Fab Frock Friday: Nina Ricci 2012













Happy Friday, everyone!
I love this gorgeous 2012 collection by Nina Ricci, don't you? (That last one is not a frock, of course, but I just had to include it.) I wouldn't mind wearing the pink satin dress, myself, or the red dress, or the lovely floral one. They are all so feminine and elegant.

Fab Frock Friday: Spot-on Valentino

 *** Maria Sharapova looking stunning *** *********
I keep seeing this black and white dress by Valentino everywhere, and I have fallen in love with it! 
The short version, with 3/4-length ruffle-trimmed sleeves, is so lovely. What I wouldn't give to have one of my own. (A girl can dream!) The long style is elegant enough for a bride, as you can see. 
What a versatile and beautiful dress!

Fab Frock Friday: white dresses with black bows

Paule Ka Fall 2009

Giorgio Armani 2009
I find the look of a white dress accented with a crisp black bow to be incredibly striking. I would love to make a sexy white pencil skirt with black bows, inspired by the first image, and pair it with a simple black top, like my black cowl-neck tank, which shows just the right amount of decolletage--not too much, not too little. (I suppose that
