Giambattista Valli

When looking through SS11 collections, I have to say one of my favourites was Giambattista Valli. There's a lot of ivory, nude and black, very feminine and very classic pieces, my favourite being the nude coloured dress with a black band, very ladylike and beautifully made. I saw Olivia Palermo wearing a new season Valli and though she looked incredible, the pink shoes made sure the dress stayed looking feminine and young. Take a look for yourself!

My first pair of Louboutins!!!

People always say that you should never meet your heroes as you only stand to be disappointed. The anticipation before hand and then when you finally meet them they fail to live up to your expectations. I've never had any heroes - or none that have ever stuck - but if there's anything I have admired or wanted constantly in the past few years it would have to be a pair of Louboutin shoes, and the day has arrived! I've been lucky enough to get these beauties in the style bikiki 140. I can't wait to take them for a proper test drive!

SS11 Ashish!

I was definitely on the fence about this dress, but trying it on you can see how amazing it really is! Ashish is known for outrageous sequined clothing which always seem to have a sense of humour about them. Check out the catwalk video for SS11 - it's always good to see designers not taking everything too seriously but just pushing the boundaries with new and vibrant ideas!

Chhrristmas

Walking round Knightsbridge the other day I noticed some of the great window displays in some of the department stores, so this post is going to be dedicated to the hard working visual merchandisers who make them possible!

Browns by far had the best on Sloane Street...

Harrods...

And last but by no means least Harvey Nichols which were great but those heads are just downright creepy!

Kinky Boots

There's a new brand I have only just found out about, and they have some gorgeous shoes - these Gianvito Rossi thigh-high black leather boots are just ridiculous and so sexy at the same time! Rossi is Italian, he's the son of Sergio Rossi and worked with his father for  much of his life before starting his own brand, and everything he makes is of such high quality materials and the designs are truly feminine. These are definitely going on my fantasy shoes wish list.

Pre-Season Alexander Wang

Just a quick post to show you some of the new Alexander Wang, this black pleated dress is really cool, really simple but sexy for the new season with its sheer panels and cut outs, and then a white shirt dress which I first thought was rather strange but now I'm beginning to think it's really cute! It'd have to be exceptionally accessorised up but I definitely think they both are winners.

Alexander McQueen clutch bag

Is it possible to fall in love with a bag? Check out the new McQueen clutch if you doubt it's possible! Its beautiful to look at however impractical and flamboyant it is, if you got this then you'd be wise to keep the outfit simple. I really love this Opening Ceremony navy dress which can be easily dress up or down, and these Miu Miu platform nude shoes to keep it girly and simple. Top with some gold jewellery and job done, love it!
