London S/S Collections
My London Favourite Pieces…
The vibrant, alluring and cosmopolitan nature of London makes London Fashion Week one of the most anticipated in all of the Fashion Week Calendars. It is renowned for showcasing young emerging talent right alongside Fashion Week Veterans (a la Burberry). And it was also of extra excitement to me this year living right nearby. As many of you know I was lucky enough to attend and it is an experience that I will remember forever… my first London Fashion Week!
My favourite 12 looks from London Fashion Week are:

Holly Fulton is a new favourite of mine and I adore these high-waisted flared trousers with the striking patterns. The wispy, feminine dresses at Nicole Farhi, Julien Macdonald and Emilio de la Morena also caught my eye. My London Fashion Week choices show I am still mad about white, yellow and orange, but with more pink added in than New York!
Love the pink stripe pencil skirt and simple white shirt at Vivenne Westwood Red Label. Stripes also stood out at Sass and Bide when combined with a gorgeous textured skirt and belt. The Sass and Bide collection was one of my favourites of the week – perfectly bringing together edge with feminine beauty.
Erdem was the highlight of London Fashion Week for me. Whimsical, delicate and feminine. Erdem’s floral patterns, embroidery and use of lace equals undeniably exquisite. There are almost no words to quite describe it…xx
NY S/S Collections
My New York Favourite Pieces…
Now that the Spring/Summer Collections have been shown, I have chosen my favourite 12 looks from the New York!
From my choices below, it appears that I will be wearing lots of yellow and orange (citrus colours) and gorgeous white! I adore the yellow shift dress by Michael Kors and the bell skirt shape by Victoria Beckham. Both dresses are such flattering shapes, which are oh-so-chic, feminine and fun.
The high waisted trousers and white bow blouse by Jason Wu makes a streamlined, signature statement. Tory Burch’s preppy upper-east side aesthetic in vibrant orange is stunning. I adore the Proenza Schoulder’s collection – fresh yet undeniably cool with a fresh take on youthful ladylike elegance. The detailing at Rodarte was simply incredible and I loved their distinct shapes and proportions.

Overall I think my choices, coincide with what I believe my style primarily is: colourful, preppy and classic.

Inspired by the intrepid traveller, the Boy Meets Girl® Spring/Summer 2011 collection is full of gorgeous separates that can be easily interchanged. The muse: an energetic, free-spirited girl who will be travelling all summer with a wardrobe that can take her anywhere she wants to go; from New York to Paris, day to evening.
In a neutral colour palette of black, grey and khaki with hints of light blue; the Boy Meets Girl® collection is full of interesting separates and unexpected detailing. Cut-outs, zips and shapes; reveal different areas of the body with subtly and sophistication. When models turned on the catwalk, the back of their looks were also equally surprising. Many pieces had been cut into strips or transformed into seemingly different tops- yet all fell perfectly around the models bodies. Striped Boy Meets Girl® gloves and knee high socks added the finishing touches to this cool collection.
The collection covered all bases and included: trousers, shorts, dresses, skirts, t-shirts, tops and jackets. Pieces were created in comfortable, luxe materials that also flatter female curves. Overall the collection exuded the effortless chic vibe of the brand.
Uptown Twirl Must-haves:
I love the white off the shoulder tee with the Boy Meets Girl® logo full of coffee beans! My other favourite look is the khaki shift dress with front zip. Both so wearable, yet fun and unique.
