Valentino Fall 2012 Couture

**When I grow up... I want to be wearing these!**

Who wants to aspire to be a doctor or a fireman if you can aspire to wear these gorgeous creations!

I'm loving the dark blue hues for Fall 2012 and seeing the floral prints brought into fall collections. These pieces are stunning but my absolutely favourite is this red number. Something about this colour always commands a reaction and it looks absolutely gorgeous. Give.It.To.Me.

Valentino - Fall 2012

I'm loving the leathers and the reds I'm seeing across the runways for Fall 2012 - loooooooooovin' it.

What I'm not so in love with? I like to call it the 'voluminous sleeve'. If you've been checking out the collections, you know what I'm talking about - you can hardly miss it. For obvious reasons - I don't like the look. I'll stick with the well-tailored look!

Katharine McPhee recently wore this Spring 2012 Valentino dress to an event. Drop.Dead.Gorgeoous.

The dress is so simple, but still so amazing.

I have some serious love for Valentino.

Harper's Bazaar collaborated with Chinese artist Liu Bolin for the March issue of the mag.

I've seen some of his work before and always found it so ridiculous - in a good way. He paints himself into backgrounds and blends in, and essentially disappears. Google image him and you'll see what I'm talking about!

This time around, he made some of the world's top designers disappear - Angela Missoni, Alber Elbaz of Lanvin, Jean Paul Gaultier, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli of Valentino.

Check out their website to see a short video of the whole ordeal.

Ready. Set. Want.

Now, weep because most of us can't afford it - unless you sell a brother, or an organ. KIDDING!

Jennifer Aniston wore Valentino Couture to the London premiere of her new movie.

This dress is stunning - stunning on her and just stunning in general.

I think it's a timeless dress and would be a great investment piece for a wardrobe ... you know, if you have that kind of money lying around. For now, it's just a great piece for my blog.
