Well, let’s take pause from our everyday mundane lives to live a Dior dream, shall we?

When it came time to unveil the stunning Cruise 2017 collection, Dior certainly pulled out all the stops. On May 31st, everyone’s favorite Parisian house took over the stunning Bleinham Palace in Oxford, England to debut their latest collection. As if a runway show in a palace wasn’t enough, the ride to the event was an even more lavish affair. A-list starlets and fashionistas were invited for a luxurious train ride from London to the show, aboard the ‘Dior Express’. Dressed to the nines in Dior, naturally, stars like Emma Roberts, Kate Mara and Kate Beckinsale wined and dined on route to a runway show most definitely made of fairy tale dreams. Christian Dior would be proud!

It was an occasion so lovely it hardly felt real. Kindly, Dior shared much of the day with the general public on SnapChat – with what I will now refer to as “The most epic SnapChat story of all time.” Seriously, how can it be topped? Celebs sipping on champagne and wine served by waiters in white gloves, twirling in their Dior gowns before being ushered into the Bleinham Palace before a welcoming ensemble of trumpets. It was an affair truly fit for royalty.

Of course, while my ultimate dream is to one day attend a Dior show myself, I sat perched across in the Atlantic at my desk in J.Crew (not Dior) living vicariously through the stunning images on social media and around the internet. While I may not have been on the Dior Express to high fashion, I did do my very best to dress for occasion! That is, I used some of my favorite Dior makeup bits to get in the spirit and feel ever so slightly like a Dior princess for a day. Hey, if I can’t have Dior couture, at least I can have their Studio Star foundation (which is heavenly, btw).

As for Dior’s Cruise 2017 collection, it was fresh and fun. Fashion critics everywhere will dub this a place holding collection, as we still await the announcement of the next creative director (likely to happen for Fall 2016 couture) – but I found it a delightful show that felt perfectly Dior and perfectly apt for the Cruise season.

In Raf’s absence, it was nice to see his influence still resonating in the house with a sporty aesthetic, vivid colors and innovative styling. Favorite looks for me are colorful mini skirts worn over trousers and beaded jackets over poncho skirts. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Dior show without a killer jacket or two and the Cruise 2017 collection certainly delivered.

Here are some of my favorite looks from the collection:

Dior Cruise 2017 Runway Look 1 - Dream in Lace

Dior Cruise 2017 Runway Look 6 - Dream in Lace

Dior Cruise 2017 Runway Look 9 - Dream in Lace

Dior Cruise 2017 Runway Look 21 - Dream in Lace

Dior Cruise 2017 Runway Look 23 - Dream in Lace

Dior Cruise 2017 Runway Look 39 - Dream in Lace

Dior Cruise 2017 Runway Look 51 - Dream in Lace

Dior Cruise 2017 Runway Look 52 - Dream in Lace

Now, I know this post is getting a bit long – but I would be remiss if I didn’t share some of the stunning looks the ladies wore on the Dior Express and at the Cruise 2017 fashion show in the Bleinham Palace library.

Psst: Kiernan Shipka absolutely takes the cake for Best Dressed in my book!

Talk about an experience of a lifetime! Kudos to Dior for throwing a beautiful spectacle to celebrate the latest collection. It’s one we’re certain to see on starlets everywhere and this beautiful event only makes me that much more excited for the Fall 2016 couture presentation this summer. Dior = goals!

Thank you so much for reading and I hope you enjoyed taking in the sights from such a special day! Be sure to let me know what you think of the collection.


As always, stay stylish and keep chasing your dreams!

XOXO
