Mc’Queen Pre Spring 09!

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

Mc Queen Spring 09 CollectionOh we are extremely lucky! Alexander Mc Queen has produced an 8 piece pre Spring 09 collection and net a porter is bringing them to our wardrobes!!

The collection follows a theme of contrast between masculine and feminine, you can see this straight away when you look at the all-in-one tuxedos, which by the way is the modern way to wear black tie! This look is just divine; the plunging neckline mixed with the masculine tailoring gives it a typical Mc Queen edge. These all-in-one tuxedos’s range from £1, 095 to £1,185!

Statement shoulders are prominent within the collection, take for example the graphic stripe dress (second from left) this is a superfine knit dress that looks ultra sleek, the statement shoulders have been produced using shoulder pads that can be removed if preferred! This dress costs £765!

The collection is all about effortless chic so keep accessories simple! Hurry to net a porter to view the collection in full and get full commentary on each look as you watch it glide down the runway!

All in all this is a truly unique piece that will make the perfect evening dress, worn with platform heels and a dainty sequin purse bag. Buy yours today from Browns fashion for £920.00!

Missoni Floral Dress
This dress is absolutely stunning! I have been obsessed with florals all summer and it is nice to see a fall alternative to florals so that I can continue my passion for the look!

The autumnal colours work so well with the floral print and the gold sequin band at the bottom makes it perfectly on trend adding that irresistible touch of glamour! Team with a matching sequin clutch and some dainty gold sandals and you are sure to turn some heads!

This Missoni Clarissa strapless dress can be purchased online from the one and only net a porter for £1,515!


Musical Note Dress!

Topshop Musical Note DressI was just browsing the Topshop website, when I came across this very cute little dress! It is just a simple shift dress with a double layered bottom with a musical note print, what a great idea!

I really like the contrast of the black with the cream; it is really sharp and striking! This would look great with black accessories such as black patent platforms and an oversized patent clutch for the evening! I could also see it dressed down with leggings and a cute little black cardigan for daywear, the options are endless!

Buy yours today from Topshop for £75.

The colour is scrumptious and will definitely get rid of those pre winter blues! The brass swirly neckline is like a piece of art; it is so unique and just oozes glamour! There is no need for a necklace with this dress, maybe just some stacked bangles to balance out the look!

Party Frock on a Budget

Saturday, September 20th, 2008

Boohoo Layer Bow DressI love this cute party frock from Boohoo, and with a price tag of just £25 it’s a real winner. Featuring an elegant scoop back and feature bow detail on the front there’s lots to look at and a real bargain for the price.

The combination of tulle and bows makes this both cute and moody, it’s like a cute goth fairy all tied up in a bow. This would make a great edition to your own little black dress collection, and if nothing more, would make a great basis for a Halloween costume! I’m thinking ‘good fairy gone bad’… just add wings and a wand!

Get yours from Boohoo today!
