The Little Blue Dress

Saturday, June 21st, 2008

see-by-chloe-dress.jpgThe little black dress is a must have item in your wardrobe but what about the other little dresses? There are so many colours that are not just in for one season and this dress is definitely one to wear over and over again because of its beauty.

The See by Chloe silk v-neck mini dress is cute, feminine and sexy. The baby blue coloured empire line dress will compliment any skin tone and the low v-necks at the back and front are so sexy, revealing a little skin but not too much. Perfect for any elegant evening, match with some sandals, courts or flats.

The See by Chloé Silk V-neck mini dress is available at Net a Porter costing just £315.


Prom Please!

Friday, June 6th, 2008

Tightsplease Prom SheersOh Yes, Prom is just around the corner, which means but two things. Number 1; it’s the beginning of the summer (woohoo, yippee, hurrah), and number 2; what on earth shall I wear?? Luckily, Betsey Johnson had the answer a long time ago at the Spring/Summer 08 Catwalk. Accessories have transformed this pretty prom dress into a chic and edgy ensemble. Dressing for a dance is not as it used to be. It’s no longer about finding that one amazing dress but finding that one amazing dress and matching it with those amazing accessories! Don’t risk turning up and blending into the sea of well dressed pretty girls, but add your own twist with a leopard print cardy, metallic shoulder strap bag, hair accessory a la Carrie Bradshaw and top it all off with of-the-minute coloured sheers!

Ice Royalty

Sunday, June 1st, 2008

marchesa.jpgThe most stunningly beautiful dress Marchesa has created in my opinion is here and I am in complete awe. With an icy and sparkly look this dress is just amazing and so made for royalty.

Like many this is the sort of dress I dream of wearing and owning, like something out of Enchanted. The strapless dove silk blend dress combines beading, lace and delicate patterning in such a perfectly elegant way. With a boned bodice and asymmetric finish it is ideal for both slim and curvaceous women. Expect to see it on many of the beautiful Hollywood A-listers.

If you can afford it invest in it, the Marchesa Strapless embroidered dress is £3,640 and available at Net-A-Porter.

Anna Sui Catwalk Sensations

Monday, April 28th, 2008

I have fallen in love with Anna Sui’s new collection, the designer manages to combine vintage courture with modern day trends and has really hit the nail on the head with these catwalk styles. My favourite piece is the Anna Sui Deco print dress (left), it is a fab party frock and reasonably priced at £225. The two-tone print is unique and puts curves in all the right places!

Anna Sui Collection

Next up is the Anna Sui Bouquet print dress (£285), a floaty feminie design with popular floral prints inspired by spring. Then we have the Anna Sui Deco Trees sleeveless dress, a perfect dress for day and night in the summery months. At £250 it is all quite reasonably priced and would look fabulous with a black clutch and black sandals.

The Anna Sui Layered gingham dress (£295) is a perfect mix of smokey grey and purple tones. The design is unique with transparent material on the upper sleaves and above the chest. Lastly we have this gorgeous Anna Sui Heart detail skirt which looks fab with a tight tucked in t-shirt and sexy platforms. The high waist is extremely flattering and at £160 its not out of reach.


Marc Jacobs Rana Bag

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

Marc Jacobs Rana BagNow that summer is on its way I think its about time to get funkier with bright colours and accessories! I just saw this Marc Jacobs Rana evening bag over at Net-a-porter and immediately pictured myself strutting down the road in my flip flops and oversized shades feeling fabulous with this gorgeous accessory on my shoulder!

The spring catwalk has been full of neon and fluro, I love the way Mark Jacobs has taken this style and added his special touch creating a classic bag with sport like strap that can be removed to form an elegant clutch if preferred. The pink bag is made from leather with a frog shaped clasp, suede frame and silky satin lining. Does it get any better than this?

The bag can be purchased for £795 so get saving!


A Chain Reaction

The Grecian theme in fashion is so feminine and summery and the buttermilk coloured draped short dress is the perfect stereotype, as seen on the runway. The flattering shapely dress has chain and stone embellishment given it the wow factor, an elasticated waist and is fully lined. Just as much as I can imagine it on a celebrity on the red carpet I can see it looking stunning on any women living the luxury on a yacht or in St Tropez/Puerto Banus.

The multicoloured strapless piece is a mix of cotton and silk blend, has a low back and a scalloped edge detail on the bustier. It’s perfectly flattering clinching at the waist and puffing out around the derriere and it is ‘as seen on’ the run way and on many a celebrity. This Luella Rebecca Mini Dress is a collectable. Pair with leggings or footless tights for a punky look or cute ballet pumps for summer chic.
