The Maison Balmain


In 1914 a man named Pierre Maison was born. A gift from above. In 1945 Pierre founded The Maison Balmain as a couture house with a lucrative sideline in fragrances. His death in 1982 did not end his amazing line, it was then carried on by several designers; but it was in 1993 that Oscar De La Renta became Head Designer of the French Couture house of fashion for a lengthy 12 year stint. During his time at Balmain Oscar De La Renta's amazing work ensured The Maison Balmain had its prestigious reputation for elegance reinstated.
My Dream Outfit for a girly evening is below. Wishing I was wealthy enough to own such an outfit. Maybe one day?

A simple Topshop vest with laced sides... Tucked into...
 This STUNNING Balmain quilted leather high waist skirt with a chain running around the hem... BEAUT!! Accompanied with a red quilted Chanel bag...I'm drooling at the thought


To top it all off Id LOVE the below Christian Louboutin black leather boots, seen on the feet of Victoria Beckham. Oh God.

Finally my jewellery of choice would be this gold set by Lara Bohinc. I love the chunky style and colour. My hair I would wear loosely tied back in a messy bun. 
 









 Please PLEASE have a look at the website for some amazing pieces - http://www.balmain.com/en/ and if you have a heart...Make donations to me for my dream outfit this Christmas... :) If ONLY!!

This stunner cannot go without a mention. Stars such as Rihanna, Kristen Stewart, Beyonce, Nicki Hilton, Mila Kunis and many many more kill it in Balmain xXx
