Glamorous Gowns

First things first, darlings! The three winners of CC’s Ocean Home Magazine Subscription Giveaway are Chessa, Mimi, and Alex Keller ~ congrats!
For Spring 2010, gowns are glam! CC has rounded up some solid work (pun intended) from the runway shows, and the message is clear: color is key! Think delicate swaths of silk-chiffon in candy-colored hues.
