Calling all Couture fans; Elie Saab and his incredible embellishments

















Every season, without fail, I wait with eager anticipation for Elie Saab's show. In my opinion, although not the most varied of designers, the dresses he creates are some of the most magical I have ever seen. You can imagine them being worn by Russian princesses for an incredibly chic and exotic ball, with waltzes and dancing and champagne and stylish gentlemen offering their arms. Elie Saab, for me, creates a glamourous dreamworld in every single collection - just the feeling of the dresses would make you feel incredible, with all the sparkle and embellishment and chantilly lace. Oh my! I'm already envying the lucky celebrities that will wear these on the red carpet!

I've loved the Christian Dior AW12 Couture, Raf Simons has done a fantastic collection, as we all expected! In my opinion the full skirts and the feminine silhouettes are what made it amazing, the cigarette pants were fantastic too.

Hope you are all having a lovely day, even if there is a storm on it's way here in the North West!

Mulberry’s Autumn/Winter 2012 campaign starring Linsey Wixson and shot by Tim Walker




I am a massive fan of Mulberry and love their new campaign. Autumn is one of my favourite seasons and I love wrapping up for the cold, crisp English weather (e.g. rain as per). I like the 'Where the Wild Things are' vibe this has with the fluffy monster in the background and, of course, the bags are to die for.

I'm still a bit undecided about the Del Rey bag though (in the last image), most people seem to love it but I'm not too sure.

What do you think?
