le Dolce summer

I think I've found some summer wardrobe inspiration thanks to this editorial from Nuyou Singapore. No surprise that I like it, it features pieces from Dolce & Gabbana's S/S 2012 collection (which I had almost forgotten about because their most recent show which pretty much blew. my. mind.) What is it about sparkles and sunshine? gets me everytime...

if it ain't Baroque...

This next collection, I thought, was a complete highlight from all of the collective "fashion weeks" - it is the breathtakingly magnificent Dolce & Gabbana Fall 12 show - watch this...

 

It is such a different experience watching the fabrics move on the runway, isn't it? (sidenote: Helen Mirren is my idol❤).

I've seen (and you are likely to have seen) this collection posted several places over the past few days, however, I am positive none were as creative as Hannah's magical Dolce gifs!!   I still thought I'd share a few of my personal favorites here...

So just a quick review: brocade, black velvet, lace, sheers, florals, embroidery oh... and capes and tap pants thrown in too?! In a word: PERFECTION!
