CELINE

 

Move over Birkin there's a new IT bag in town and it goes by the name of Phantom. 
The gorgeous handbag is modern, chic and stylish. The trapeze shape is much more interesting than the usual standard boring handbag shape. It comes in a large variety of colours and textures, including leather, pony skin, nude, yellow, leopard, crocodile, pink, white, blue, black and red. The list goes on. It even comes in a mini size, phantom 'nano', if you don't carry around a lot. 
Celebrities who love the bag include: Carey Mulligan, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Miley Cyrus, Kourtney Kardashian and Leighton Meester.

Lana Del Rey for H&M

H&M is looking great right now, a/w is their season! With Lana Del Rey and collaborations with Anna Del Russo could they get any better? But the collection that is drawing my attention is with Lana Del Rey (still love Anna!) The TV advert and pictures are perfection. 'Blue Velvet' was soothingly sung in a quite creepy 1950's atmosphere for the advert and her hair was swept into a large smooth style matching her voice. The clothes where also fabulous with wine stained colours, florals and lots of texture. If you haven't seen the campaign yet look at the pictures above and have a look at this link: http://www.hm.com/gb/fall-collection#overview

topshop unique ss13

 

Topshop Unique ss13 showed black and white minimalism at its best and if like me you weren't lucky enough to be at the show, there was a live stream on the Topshop website, where you could capture shots from the show and share it on facebook. But if you missed that there is still a chance to watch it on the website and other shows from Mary Katrantzou, J.W. Anderson, Meadham Kirchhoff and more. 

The clothes and the models where perfect! Clean and crisp cuts and very beautiful models. The line up of models included my favourites Cara Delevingne and Jourdan Dunn.

French Vogue has a new look!

The September issue of Vogue Paris appears to have a cleaner and elegant new look. The three covers feature Lara Stone, Kate Moss and Daria Werbowy wearing the same black Dolce and Gabbanna dress. The new cover was designed by Vogue creative director Germain Chaveau.

"Vogue's mission is to surprise, and to anticipate the wants of our readers. We've taken the concept of 'black fury' to mark the launch of fresh new format for the magazine, with new typefaces, new-look sections, and new guests, including fashion blogger Garance Doré who introduces a new column. Always ahead of the rest, Vogue confirms its radical standpoint with a facelift," explains Emmanuelle Alt in her editorial page, which has also had a new look.
                                 What do you think of the magazines makeover?

camo jackets

Camo/army style jackets are appearing more and more over the UK. I went back to school yesterday and most girls had one on, also in a lot of shops such as River Island, Primark and Urban Outfitters. But apart from Primark if you don't want to spend too much try somewhere like eBay or vintage shops. I have a feeling these are going to be really big in the autumn/winter seasons this year. As I said in my first post, things like Tumblr are setting trends and the army jacket is perfect example of that as the trend starting amongst teens.

To get the best look with these jackets buy them either fitted perfectly or in a few sizes bigger.

Donatella is back for couture 2012!

 

I absolutely adored the Versace s/s collection this year, so when I heard Donatella was back for Couture I was extremely excited for the collection. She made a brilliant comeback! This collection is  gorgeous. Lindsey Wixon and Karlie Kloss where among the many models walking for the show. It was everything you would expect from Versace, the disco ABBA curls, the shimmer and exposed flesh/ flesh tones. The show took place in the Ritz Hotel, Donatella's brother Gianni's favourite spot for his runway shows.  She lived up to her expectations and much more. Welcome back Donatella!
