Whimsical Women

Bravo's Top Design is starting again which means we can all "oooh and ahhh"over Kelly Wearstler's outfits. Honestly, this might be the most adventurous dresser on television--forget about Carrie Bradshaw, Kelly Wearstler's fun, crimped hair is where it's at. There are no good pictures of her wild and wonderful outfits from last season online that I can locate, at least you can get a small taste of her style from various events she has attended. Pictures from Style.com
If Kelly Wearstler is fearlessly adventurous and eclectic, then one person who is no less stylish but more predictable is Dita Von Teese. You can always count on see her crimson lips, her gorgeous figure and retro ensembles and yet, I for one never get tired of glimpses of her. Here's a peek at her apartment and amazing hat collection. Complete article here.
I know there are tons of trends right now and polka dots hasn't been mentioned to my knowledge as one of them, but I can not take my eyes off of these two dresses both boasting oversize polka dots. I should be looking for body chains, studs, and fringe, but I just want a Minnie Mouse dress! Pictures from Garance Dore and Niotillfem

I love Niotillfem. Do you know what she's writing about? The translations tell you absolutely nothing! But she seems to be living the most glamourous life ever...

Those polka dot dresses are cute.

Amelia said...

I definitely agree about polka dots--I love 'em. I'd actually never heard of Kelly Wearstler, but she looks interesting.

i know this is cheesy, but i'm always reminded of what my high school band teacher used to say "if you're going to play the wrong note, at least play it loudly with confidence" - i've always felt the same way with fashion. i simply adore women who aren't afraid to play around and get it wrong!

ps - thanks for taking the time to give me the 411 on those boots - great find!

estrella said...

I also prefer polka dots rather than studs - a matter of personality, I think, I can't see myself wearing agressive stuff :)

* Fashion Dreamer * said...

Ohhh yes, loud and very clear. It's snaking its way into my subconcious, but hey, we're in it together now! I like the black top and trousers accessoried with the gold chains, gorgeous

Polka dots can be very fun and stylish. I don't think I have done polka dots in a long time.

Dita's hat collection is amazing!
I must admit Ive been drawn to big polka dots for the first time in years lately, and I never thought I'd like them again after they were overdone a couple of years back!

enc said...

Dita is a study in presentation. I admire her dedication.

saray said...

Kelly Wearstler has such a good taste!! i love her outfits!!

i'm not a fan of Dita Von Teese but her hat collection is amazing!!

Chic Looks said...

I want a polka dot dress so much, also totally agree with you about Dita, I never get bored of seeing her she's just so beautiful and classy

KD said...

Egads! I love those polka dot dresses, especially the greenish strapless one. Dita's hat collection is super cool.

Solia said...

Yeah. she was always great on Top Design. Her and Cynthia Rowley really glammed that show up.

Miss Karen said...

Ooh I love those polka dot dresses! I've never heard of Kelly Wearstler before but she looks like a cool dresser - I hope we get Top Design here in Australia hehe.

Inside the Cabinet of Wonder said...

a minnie mouse dress is a wonderful idea! *love the idea* :)

Tahda said...

closehorse + polka dot dress would = perfection. I think you need one.

I love the white and black polka dot oscar de la renta dress from last year. perhaps there is a cheaper alternative by now?

jess said...

Polka dots are amazing,I think I may be addicited to them

Victoria-Olivia said...

Yes, you can't beat a polka dot dress!

Farren said...

oh man. i love dita. she's quite possibly the definition of chic. look it up. it probably says example: dita von teese. =)

i'd choose a polka dotted minni mouse dress over body chains. =)

Nay'Chelle said...

Hm...I really like ht first polka dot photo. And Dita is always stunning.

esme and the lane way said...

I love the look of DvT's house, especially the blue wall. And I've always been a little wary of polka dots, but have started to like them more and more over the last few months... :)

Bojana said...

Jeeze, I've been away for too long!

Great article and love all of your new outfits.

The girl from the Garance Doré picture in the polka dot dress, is from MbMJ, I believe.

Loveeee
ps : I commented your TeenVogue entry, wheee

Fashion-Obsessed! said...

Great post

coco said...

I'm not normally into dots but I like the greeny blue dress.
And I have never heard of Kelly but she does have a lovely style. I haven't seen anyone with full crimped hair in ages!

i had a dress so similar to niotillfem's one, a little less structured and made from a lovely soft fabric, but alas! it has been lost. it pains me.

crispybenfranklin said...

Polka dots are one of God's gifts. We should treasure them.

Daiane said...

i love kelly's face expression! and her hair, too. and polka dots are the best print ever invented...

Dapper Kid said...

Oh wow she looks stunning, her hair is amazing!! And I really do love that last polka dot dress :)

LCL said...

dita von teese will never cease to captivate me
I always love to see her perfectly poised and polished
and those polka dot dresses are adorable!

LML said...

dita can do no wrong - i always use her as inspiration for formal events!

CULTURE CREATORS said...

Ya i haven't heard to much about polka dots either. I believe stripes were supposed to be the new polka. Hmmm I've never heard about this Kelly Wearstler... thanks for the tip, I'll have to google her:)

dita von teese is a safe card when it comes to styleinspiration! she has this gamour touch to everything she wears, that's something that every girl should work with - "the everyday-glamour"!
And i agree, polkadots are so sweet. When i see polkadots i can't stop thinking about Lady D! She (nearly) always wore polkadots...

pinktuutuu said...

the pink and black polka dotted dress is uber cute!
