Forward five months and the same dress appears in a scene of Gossip Girl, worn by our favourite television fashionista, Blair Waldorf. The pretty pink dress is from Alberta Ferretti's Fall 2011 collection, and features a tie-up halter neck and embellished doubled tiered skirt.</span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><br /><br /></span></b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><br /><br /></span></b></span></span></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG3fzTWCBPC_R6ofJywXPy6cPIlCUbw0LLUkLDAw1dhCDPgT1AAqlveVms3sPziz7VesCkzltoPQf6GZ2q5QqUEEWW4P9hovJwftRaeLe4lJ-qzRHuMwsXQ-8CvvkY0NAsZtFpRwup-BxW/s1600/alberta+ferretti+.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><img border="0" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG3fzTWCBPC_R6ofJywXPy6cPIlCUbw0LLUkLDAw1dhCDPgT1AAqlveVms3sPziz7VesCkzltoPQf6GZ2q5QqUEEWW4P9hovJwftRaeLe4lJ-qzRHuMwsXQ-8CvvkY0NAsZtFpRwup-BxW/s640/alberta+ferretti+.jpg" width="640" /></span></b></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">Left:</span></b> <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Camilla Belle</span> </b>wore the salmon pink dress to the 'Good Housekeeping Annual Shine On Awards' on 12 April in New York City.

Nina Ricci Resort 2012

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><br /><br /></span>Peter Copping of Nina Ricci has created a rose-tinted, French chic collection for Resort 2012. I love the pleasant pastel shades merged with soft ruffles and matt satin. Khaki and black acted as neutrals. The silhouettes were influenced by the fifties and sixties. Cropped suit jackets accompanied pencil skirts.<br /><br /><br /><br />Stand out pieces include the sweet pink satin skirt suit and jacket, and the black halter-neck fishtail gown. Outfits were sugarcoated with stunning accessories, like cat-eye sunglasses, chain-handle clutch bags and pointy-toe shoes.<br /><br /><br /><br />These are some pieces from the delectable range.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj74IffWtGvctLOgdhSF9aWG0j7xVGR1xLJZw_QfEcI3kcs6hWO8Y_7mALV0mn_VxmJO1RhAyK3XWdhO2VQWdbScCTMwvwkVgVIDyVPWbXOjx-Fpa4tRdDZYNKcAEUIWM-mkhCSmyFGCFU/s1600/nina+ricci+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj74IffWtGvctLOgdhSF9aWG0j7xVGR1xLJZw_QfEcI3kcs6hWO8Y_7mALV0mn_VxmJO1RhAyK3XWdhO2VQWdbScCTMwvwkVgVIDyVPWbXOjx-Fpa4tRdDZYNKcAEUIWM-mkhCSmyFGCFU/s640/nina+ricci+1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgspxy6rEq2_NFvYsy8jteWzrF6rxNARSR9fyrtorq6HOW6Iv3jkAzLDUlL1D4nUfqJdmAYf_yNAMlItc2qKC-YO4nmnxlGGS-nUdhTqjAsLXf-6PCgZ-xfn8tsfmOjRtTqHg8bVNdrntY/s1600/nina+ricci+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgspxy6rEq2_NFvYsy8jteWzrF6rxNARSR9fyrtorq6HOW6Iv3jkAzLDUlL1D4nUfqJdmAYf_yNAMlItc2qKC-YO4nmnxlGGS-nUdhTqjAsLXf-6PCgZ-xfn8tsfmOjRtTqHg8bVNdrntY/s640/nina+ricci+2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwC7UVmmBz9PAVuyKJcscAsoi19i40gFN_Z6Wc-imNIJG5BCy4g81gItuG115we6ErQ8PIMtea83BufRPdXClA5DJSwPj2p-mfc7p-R-GGl-fzRstPuRrFtA5dvVwOaE5LMKic_RcIkfE/s1600/nina+ricci+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwC7UVmmBz9PAVuyKJcscAsoi19i40gFN_Z6Wc-imNIJG5BCy4g81gItuG115we6ErQ8PIMtea83BufRPdXClA5DJSwPj2p-mfc7p-R-GGl-fzRstPuRrFtA5dvVwOaE5LMKic_RcIkfE/s640/nina+ricci+3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXu5Pv_E3nK4nsnlHJ7DxsKJBOFTm03lsUGzVkrh2jF6ivHyDdH7pb8thSWXUUWhKUPxC4278raYrxSc6CNA2Q1Bi7xHso3Vedn1IsUc2EQzzzRFEx8ihuDulasXnEggaJ-S2xKbG46YY/s1600/nina+ricci+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXu5Pv_E3nK4nsnlHJ7DxsKJBOFTm03lsUGzVkrh2jF6ivHyDdH7pb8thSWXUUWhKUPxC4278raYrxSc6CNA2Q1Bi7xHso3Vedn1IsUc2EQzzzRFEx8ihuDulasXnEggaJ-S2xKbG46YY/s640/nina+ricci+4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div>

Sometimes it's just not functional nor smart and turns out to be completely useless. But it <span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;">is</span> oh so pretty.</span></li><br /><li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thank you to everyone who has invited me onto <i>WhatsApp. </i>Sadly, I cannot get this application on my 'smartphone', as apparently, it is not smart enough. But it <span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;">is</span> pink.</span></li><br /><li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's possible to watch <i>P.S I Love You </i>for the 300th time and still get teary-eyed. Although it's the saddest movie I've seen, I don't think I will ever tire of watching it.</span></li><br /><li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Expresso should be labelled as either a) A drug b) Food poisoning or c) The secret to staying awake for eternity.</span></li><br /><li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It isn't fair to judge someone on a bad decision they've made, unless every single decision <span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;">you</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;">'ve</span> made in your own life was the right one.</span></li><br /><li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's easier to buy a firearm than a memory card in South Africa. Purchasing a Micro SD card from a well-known franchise required me to place a special order through a glass window, pass several security checks and pay for it at a separate part of the store, then return with the stamped receipt to receive my card. I then had to leave my name, number, ID, address, blood type, next of kin, etc with the sales lady (who tried to dissuade me from buying it in the first place). When I tried to leave the store with my newly-bought card, the security alarm went off and all the shoppers turned to look at me like I was a <i>Lindsay</i> kleptomaniac <i>Lohan</i> (so embarrassing). Finally, the security guard cleared my purchase and I was free to go. Needless to say, I won't be showing my face around there for a long time.</span></li><br /><li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Buy the March 2011 issue of South African <i>Elle</i> and receive a free <i>L'oréal</i> <i>Glam Shine </i>lipgloss (my ultimate fav). You won't find any copies left in Small Town, SA, 'cause I've cleared out the stands. </span></li><br /><li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If someone doesn't pick up their phone after the 10th ring, it probably means that they're very busy, unavailable or they just don't want to speak to you. Either way, after the first 5 failed attempts, you should really just stop calling.</span></li><br /><li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In an attempt to reduce my caffeine intake, I decided to try decaffeinated coffee. In Small Town, SA, there are only two types of decaf brands available. One that tastes like coffee-flavoured sand, and another that's slightly worse - decaffeinated gravel.</span></li><br /><li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am really not a violent person, but the next time someone starts chatting away while I'm watching <i>The Vampire Diaries</i>, I will <span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;">have</span> to stab them with a spoon. You have been warned.</span></li><br /></ul><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span></div>

My favs are the asymmetrical gray-to-black tiered frill gown (middle left) and the sugary shaded pink ruffle-bottom dress (bottom middle).</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In a perfect haute couture world, I would be able to own each one of these enchanting evening gowns <i>and</i> have some somewhere fabulous to wear them to.
