Ladies! Lookee what we have here!
This is one of those items for Spring 2012 that is making all the hearts go a-flutter. We all know that every brand… and I mean every single brand out there that matters, is taking a floral theme for their Spring 2012 colour collections.
Dior is no exception. Their star product for the Spring 2012 is the Garden Clutch – similar to that of the Minaudiere of last year. This time its a pristine white and silver with carved roses for the clasp.
Beautiful, delicate details, as can be expected of the brand 🙂
There are 2 colours available – Milly Garden #001 and Granville Garden #002. This is a picture of the Milly Garden Clutch – a cool toned blue, blue-grey and pink eyeshadow with complementing pink lipstick/gloss. My sort of colours! 😀
I leave you with this photo of the Milly Garden clutch. It looks almost too pretty to touch, and definitely too pretty to defile just yet so I’m sorry, but you’re going to have to wait 😛
To be perfectly honest with you, I am not expecting anything too dramatic from these. They look light and pastel and sheer and really, with that gorgeous embossing of roses on it, it will break the heart of anyone attempting to use it.
But we shall!
In time, complete with more photos 🙂
Pretty palette yes? 🙂 I would suggest you place your reservations if you’d like to pick this up because I forsee it flying off the shelves quite quickly 🙂
Enjoy the weekend, peeps!

December 16, 2011 at 5:20 pmThe roses on the eyeshadows are so gorg!!
Paris B says
December 17, 2011 at 12:21 pmRight? Wait till you see the quint! That one’s prettier to look at, to me 🙂

December 16, 2011 at 5:56 pmDefinite eye candy! When I grow up, I want pastels and baby colors to look good on me. 😛
Paris B says
December 17, 2011 at 12:22 pmHaha I know what you mean. I don’t think pastels suit everyone so they should stop foisting these colours on us 😛 which also explains why I prefer Fall and Winter collections for their deep shades 😀
Lily says
December 16, 2011 at 9:28 pmOMG! I absolutely love this one! When it landed on my table I nearly fainted. Lol! It will definitely break my heart to swatch it 🙁
Paris B says
December 17, 2011 at 12:23 pmSame! But I somehow feel less attached to this than to the quint which I foresee to be more wearable. Did you get the blue or green clutch? 🙂
Lily says
December 17, 2011 at 3:29 pmThe same clutch as yours. The blue leans grey so it’s not too bad. I also love the 5coleurs eyeshadows. Got the green one. So beautiful!
Paris B says
December 18, 2011 at 3:57 pmAhh was hoping you had the green clutch so can take a look & compare notes hehe but I do think the blue more wearable 🙂
Larie says
December 17, 2011 at 1:55 amIt’s so beautiful, but I know I would never use it! The colors seem too sheer and I hate lip glosses in palettes. It’s lovely to look at, though!
Paris B says
December 17, 2011 at 12:24 pmI hate it when palettes have powder and cream and I dislike palette lip products too I never seem to use them, preferring normal lipsticks 🙂 I do like how Dior has the cover though. I think it clever although I may have preferred more pigmented colours.

December 17, 2011 at 10:47 amSo so beautiful! Almost too beautiful to use.
Paris B says
December 17, 2011 at 12:26 pmNot almost, definitely too beautiful to use! 🙂 I’m hoping it’s wearable at least. Would be a pity to just buy makeup just to look at it 😛
Tracy@Beauty Reflections says
December 17, 2011 at 12:42 pmAHHHHH Dior why you do this to me? It’s so pretty!!! But I wait for your swatches to decide!
Paris B says
December 18, 2011 at 3:53 pmExpect something sheer 😉 I prefer the looks of the quint to be honest 😉
maggie says
December 17, 2011 at 1:18 pmvery pretty!
i need to apologize first for going out of topic now 🙂 coz u see, i’m getting back to reading.lol! after like 10 years?!! yep! but i’m like getting a life refresh 😉 n i saw u do have a massive collection of books in some of yr pics.. so i really need yr help n pointers on choosing titles.. i noticed people always buy the #1 bestsellers in the list.. but do i really need to follow the cult?? u see i did venture on my own n ended up buying a very crappy book! 🙁 $ waste.. names of authors are blinding me 🙁 so r the covers! please help
Paris B says
December 18, 2011 at 3:56 pmHmm reading is a very personal thing. I have hits and misses too but I’ve worked out the genres I like so I don’t read chick lit because they bore me and I enjoy crime and fantasy. If you aren’t sure of the genre you’d like the only way is to feel around or try a couple of best sellers before you work it out. I hear that Book Acess, I think that’s it’s name, in Amcorp Mall has a good selection of recent titles and previous ones, at low prices so you can pick up some to try without breaking the bank. I haven’t been there so I can’t say how they are.

December 17, 2011 at 1:23 pmThis looks so gorgeous! I need it asap!
Tine says
December 17, 2011 at 4:24 pmThe clutch palette didn’t intrigue me so much as the minaudière, but I’m highly looking forward to the quint palettes 😛
Paris B says
December 18, 2011 at 3:58 pmYes the quints are I think nicer than the star product this time round. Strange but true 😛
Applegal says
December 17, 2011 at 10:24 pmThis is so pretty!! If I get this, I don’t think I will ever use it! I’ll just keep it on my vanity table, open it, admire it and put it away. Oh well! 😛
Paris B says
December 18, 2011 at 3:59 pmHaha yes indeed! I think most people will think the same but makeup is meant to be used though so don’t just stare at it 😉
Sam says
December 18, 2011 at 1:41 pmSo pretty! Even though the colours are not that exciting, the clutch is gorgeous. I may need to invest 🙂
Paris B says
December 18, 2011 at 4:03 pmTeehee did you get the Minaudière clutch from before? It’ll make a pretty pair 😉
Rina says
January 5, 2012 at 7:17 pmhaha … order placed! thank you for your blog, if not, i would had miss another collection from Diors LE 😉
Paris B says
January 6, 2012 at 1:28 pmHaha I hope you’ll like it Rina! 😀
Rina says
January 7, 2012 at 1:55 amI’m back from Orchard Road with my Milly Garden clutch! ^V^.
Paris B says
January 7, 2012 at 4:12 pmYay! Are you going to use it or just add it to your collection? 😀
Rina says
January 8, 2012 at 11:53 pmBoth! Once i finish it, i will convert it into a card clutch. All i need is put my credit cards & some notes in it + my phone & i’m ready to go clubbing/dinner! 🙂
