Summer bliss

Most of you seemed to like the idea of me sharing videos I come across and enjoyed, so here is my second one. This one features Kage's spring/summer 2010 collection. You might remember I spoke about this lovely new brand in some previous posts, I am still loving what they are doing and whilst everyone is sharing the latest Kate moss x Topshop video I though I would show you something different. Enjoy!!

How did you wear your flowers?

I was pretty excited to sit back, and wait a while, to see just what the creative ladies of the blogosphere were going to do with H&M's long awaited Garden Collection. As always, it was not disappointing, they each styled the most wanted pieces in heir own individual and personal ways. It definitely looks like, the red rose jacket was one of the most successful pieces, along with the fan and rose dresses.

But this collection was not all about the pretty dresses, the other pieces especially the floral leggings, skirts and brown shorts worked great as transitional looks. And, then of course they were the endless choice of floral dresses in all sizes, forms and textures to chose from, but chose is one thing this ladies didn't do. They seemed to have all gone home with at least two or three pieces of this near perfect collection.

Sadly for me I didn't get my hands of the red rose dress I was longing for, but I did pick up the nude fan dress, and the floral ruffle dress which I am pretty happy with, and thanks to the lovely  Ela I now have the chunky colourful necklace too. I will try and post some pictures soon, but the boyfriend has deserted me to go and sit under the sun in Cannes and thus leaving me with a remote and a tripod. A whole new experience for me!

For those of you, you haven't yet participated in the big giveaway and who want to, there is still plenty of time. All you have to do is comment on this post. Good Luck!!

DVF does it for me

There is something so paradoxal, and yet so comforting about watching some of the most beautiful collections on absolutely drop dead gorgeous women from the comfort of one bed. I love this idea of drooling over beads, tulle, floral silk, furs whilst still being in my pijamas. It simply just makes me smile. Anyway here are my top three and I must say Diane's latest collection about "a man in a woman's body: smile, seduce, be proud to be you" completely did it for me. I love the idea of frilly, pretty and layered dresses/skirts under very tailored and manly jackets, paired with ridiculous accessories and killer heels.

1. Diane Von Furstenberg

2. Jason Wu

3. Anna Sui (The one that I least expected to blow me away)

Sonia Rykiel x H&M

I really am not quite sure what put me off this collection or the previous one, or even the Jimmy Choo collection for that matter. I don't know if it was all the sneak peaks and the talks surrounding the unveiling of the collections, or if it was the idea of queuing up for hours to end up having something that thousands of other women will have or if it was the collections themselves that simply didn't attract me. But this suffise to say that I did no queuing, and own nothing from these collection,however I must say that every time I did end up feeling like I missed out and could have found something I really would have liked. Anyway, I was curious to see what the courage fashion bloggers, those who did stand in line for hours in the hopes of snagging that one special item they were lusting over, actually brought and what they did with they Sonia Rykiel x H&M garments. Did you guys buys any Sonia Rykiel x H&M? if so what did you get?

I must apologise for the disturbance on the website, as a lot of you already know I changed hosts, so let's hope things are better know. Also, apologies for the lack of posts, I am due to presente my thesis on Friday so I have my head stuck in my books for the while and my outfits consist of pyjamas, leggings and hoodies, i.e. certainly nothing worth showing :)
