27.09.2009- Girl's best friend

Today I happened upon a beautiful article in you magazine, showcasing a book to be released on October 8th, entitled 'Dogs In Vogue', composed by Judith Wyatt. The book pays tribute to dogs in fashion (as featured in Vogue magazine) over the last one hundred years, and features some adorable images, such as those below:

 

You can view more images and find details of the book here.

As long as we remember that dogs are animals in their own right and not fashion accessories to be carried around in the designer handbags of Paris Hilton et al., it seems certain that the companionship and loyalty they offer us will never go out of fashion, as Wyatt's book is testament to.

(P.S. I couldn't post this and not include a photo of my own dog...


...she, however, is far more interested in running around the garden, barking at horses and taking me for long walks than gracing the pages of Vogue!)

23.09.2009- Burberry Prorsum Spring Summer 2010 RTW

Last night at the Chelsea College of Art and Design, classic British label Burberry made a triumphant return to London Fashion Week, in celebration of the event's 25th birthday. The show attracted the most high profile guest list seen at any London Fashion Week event in recent memory, with international fashion editors, Hollywood stars and politicians (who on earth invited Peter Mandelson?) descending on the capital for an evening spent in the company of Burberry's creative director Christopher Bailey and his latest stunning creations for the fashion house.


 

 



 

 

 

The front row of the show glittered as much as the shimmering silver coat Bailey sent down the runway:

 Face of Burberry's Autumn Winter 2009 advertising campaign, Emma Watson, wearing (of course), Burberry.

Victoria Beckham, wearing a beautiful dress from her own collection.

 The lovely Freida Pinto, wearing a dress from Burberry's Spring 2010 collection.

Mary Kate Olsen, looking effortlessly cool as always; I just adore the beetle brooch adorning her classic black winter coat.

One of my all time favourites, Liv Tyler, proving (if you didn't know by now) that a good boyfriend blazer is a girl's best friend and a must have piece for any wardrobe.

Anna Wintour, wearing Oscar de la Renta, complete with her trademark sunglasses and immaculately maintained hairstyle.


I can't wait to see this collection up close when it will arrive in stores next season, I have already made a pact that I will treat myself to a classic Burberry trench before I die/ when I can realistically afford it without bankrupting myself, whichever comes first!

I'm a bit of a floral junkie, so this ultra feminine, colourful and intricate collection is my idea of heaven.

22.09.2009- Jimmy Choo For H&M

Following in the footsteps of fashion giants such as Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney, Viktor and Rolf and most recently Matthew Williamson, Jimmy Choo is the latest designer to collaborate with Swedish clothing giant (and high street favourite) H&M. As well as featuring stunning shoes, the collection also incorporates accessories and womenswear, all of which are sure to cause a frenzy when the collection launches in stores around the world on November 14th 2009.

 
 

If, like me, you are useless in heels, the cute studded flats are a perfect inclusion to any Autumn/Winter wardrobe. I adore the diamante embellished dress, and the oversized leather bag is the dream addition to my ever expanding collection!
