When it came to the 83rd annual Academy Awards, the red carpet style did not disappoint! All our favourite style icons were present from Sandra Bullock to Halle Berry, however it was newcomer Hailee Steinfeld who tops my best-dressed list this year. Though only 14, Hailee was a vision of poise in a custom Marchesa gown. Done in pale ballet pink, this retro-inspired piece came complete with a sheer hand — embroidered bodice and flirty tea-length skirt. Read the rest of this entry »

We love Monique’s creations because they’re elegant, ultra-romantic and very feminine. Read the rest of this entry »
