I recently took a quick trip to the Las Vegas Strip. I got to stay at the Vdara hotel, which is connected to the "city center" area. Basically, it's a very up-scale, swanky corner of the Strip. So, I was able to do a lot of high-fashion window shopping. Most shops were lavish and swoon-worthy, some were a little boring, like Chanel's spring suits (gasp*). Some were a little gaudy, like everything I saw at the Versace store. But I was able to locate one store in particular where I basically wanted to set up camp and never leave. Red Valentino, located in the shops at Caesars Palace, was a little slice of (expensive) heaven.

The cape effect is fine, but I hate the lines and the overall color scheme. |
|
These clothes were so fancy that they looked like they should be a costume for one of the local show girls. |
|
I loved the Porsche Design store! Very simple, but not boring. |
At first I was just going to show you their most current line, but when I saw all of their older collections, I simply couldn't omit some of my favorites. I love how playful and feminine the clothes are. One of my favorite things is the most excellent way they combine prints. I hope you all enjoy these pieces as much as I do!

AnnaSophia Robb looking flawless in Red Valentino. |
|
I am crying over the perfection of this cape/coat ensemble! |
|
Alexa Chung and Audrey Tautou, both looking fabulous in the same dress! |
|
Kiernan Shipka, from "Mad Men." |
|
Plaid and knee high socks. What more could a girl ask for? |
|
I know many of these are somewhat girlish, but I feel a lot of these pieces could easily be converted to an older, more sophisticated look. |
|
Touching the light, airy material of this rain coat was like touching clouds! |
|
These blue floral and polka dot items were among my favorites (I couldn't find any better pictures for some reason). I'm simply crazy about that pattern and color combination! |
Boy there is lots of great stuff here!! I like the little girl one with the etched in backgrounds. I agree that lots of these could be altered/implemented for other more mature looks. Thanks for these -- I'm more impressed than I have been for a long while. Susa
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited that you agree! I wasn't sure you would.
ReplyDeleteThere is something so striking about those photos with the hand-drawn-looking background. All of those dresses are very sweet with a nice 50s vibe going for them. There's just something so brain tickly about them! lol
