A Sunday Dose Of Chanel…
Indulge Your Sunday With Some Stunning Chanel Perfection…
Embellished, intense and exquisitely beautiful; Chanel is pure luxury in its most decedent form.
Tonight is the Golden Globes and as celebrities frantically prepare themselves to dazzle on the red carpet, I have chosen a selection of my favourite Chanel evening gowns to celebrate. I would happily (ok, make that ecstatically) wear any of these divine creations to this event… and I am particularly partial to Carmen Kass’ billowing apricot dress composed entirely of feathers (pictured above centre). Now that would be a red carpet moment!
The Chanel Spring / Summer 2011 collection took its inspiration from the Last Year at Marienbad, a film from the early sixties in which Chanel herself originally designed the costumes for Delphine Seyrig (the leading lady). From feathers to sequins; ribbon to lace; the detail, shape and innate beauty was simply extraordinary.

Valentino Vixens
Soft, Feminine & Exquisitely Beautiful
The Valentino Spring / Summer 2011 Campaigns Are Simply Darling Black & White Portraits! LOVE!
My Thursday inspiration came in the form of Valentino’s Spring / Summer 2011 campaign. Featuring the extraordinarily beautiful Freja Beha Erichsen, Caroline Brasch-Nielsen and Julia Saner; the striking black and white portraits were shot by David Sims.
With delicate lace, ruffles, tulle and floral embellishment; the Valentino Spring / Summer 2011 collection can only be described as divine! And the advertising campaign perfectly showcases the classic beauty yet youthful, fresh edge that the collection exuded. Looks are belted high on the waist; hair is pulled back yet messy and sunglasses make a serious statement.
Valentino = Perfection for the coming season…
I heart Valentino!

A Fashion Trend That Will Sparkle Across The Universe
Like falling stars, cosmic prints are shooting into the fashion spotlight. From Miu Miu to Christopher Kane, designers looked skywards to be inspired by a kaleidoscope of colours and incredible prints.
Christopher Kane Resort 2011
Depicting the most spectacular scenes you would ever expect to see from your telescope, Christopher Kane’s Resort 2011 collection is quite literally out of this world. Explaining that he liked “the idea of explosive outwards expansion”, Kane created extraordinary prints which were transferred onto Silk Cashmere Knitwear. His varied silhouettes – from baby doll dresses to voluptuous trousers – created a collection that is light and feminine yet dark and intense. The collection is quite simply exquisite.
Miu Miu Spring / Summer 2011
Looking to a different type of ‘star’ for inspiration, Miuccia Prada for Miu Miu explored the idea of celebrity. Of the collection, Prada says: “I was thinking about everybody’s obsession with being famous”. Models walked to the American Idol opening music and along an elevated wooden red dance floor. Big stars and neon-bright colours combined to make a style statement. The long-sleeved silk satin dresses (like the yellow one pictured right) hung beautifully around the body with box pleats and a thin waisted belt. The collection is elegant yet edgy. Bright yet dark. Miu Miu nailed it.
