Chanel Couture AW10


Here is Chanels couture clothing for AW10 in paris. There is lots of camel coming through for winter, which i am disappointed about, as i think is washes your skintone out... but i love the old style tweeds, and large masculine oversized coats, with fur and velvet trims. Proportions is a key element, of which i prefer long coats, which i think look more chic compared to cropped layers.

The dresses were quite mysterious, and gothic, with metallic and shiny elements which is pleasing to my magpie eyes. I think the ankle boots teamed with dresses is also a key look that makes the dresses look less girly cute, which is a bonus. The show was set underneath a huge golden lion statue clawing a giant pearl-LOVE!

The Naked Truth


Sometimes the only thing i want to buy is underwear, its such a nice thing to purchase, and is always very personal. Princesse Tam Tam, Elle Intimates, and Stella McCartney, always have some beautiful intimates ranges, that sum up what i think the perfect underwear should be; feminine, classy, and sexy....

The Zebra's are out....

How amazing are these two dressed in their zebra onsey's at glastonbury at the weekend? I had such an amazing time, and loved seeing everyone's outfits and costumes, its endless fun just people watching.  Im a massive fan on onseys and  i think these jumpsuits could be worn on there own too.......there is something i really like about wearing animal print, but i think its all or nothing with this look.  Im purchasing an animal onsey for Bestival this September, cant wait!

Arabella Ramsay

just looking at American website, The Grand Social, and i found some really nice peices by Arabella Ramsay. I think her actual website and clothing is only available in Austrailia, but i love this vintage looking peices in her range....and i like the look of oversized vintage jumpers and capes, my next purchase definatley needs to be some vintage jumpers or a cape for festivals to keep warm in the evenings

Stella McCartney

Here are some of Stella McCartneys pre fall 2010 ready to wear collection. This range has a real simplistic chic feel, and i love the cute mens tailoring element, roll up jeans, soft grey, and black velvet teamed with black lace

"It's to provide a whole wardrobe, pieces that will stay with you for years because of the quality, and because, hopefully, they have a kind of timelessness."
