S2011RTW - Elie Saab

I've been on Style.com (one of my favourite fashion sites) searching though the S2011RTW collections, i saw Elie Saab's name amongst the vast list of designers and decided to have a look. As Style.com also noticed there is a definite 70's vibe amongst the elegant garments that floated down the runway and might i just note the delicate pastels ands dreamy silhouettes. The show confirmed that sequins are still going strong and dashes of vivid green, orange and pattern assured us that there is a little something for everyone. I must also add the range of garments that we are provided with here, tailored trousers and shorts to jumpsuits and dresses. What struck me most on the Elie Saab cat walk was the exquisite flowing chiffon gowns that boast gretian goddess and beauty. If i were rich (sadly far from it) i'd snap one of these little beauties up in a second and i'm not a gown kind of girl. I appreciate their craftmanship and detail, even dream of owning one or two, but i'm picky. I hate all that prom dress rubbish that makes satin and tuelle look cheap and tasteless, i'm more simple sleek cocktail dress (usually black). However, i'm a sucker for chiffon, just the way it hangs and the way it feels (not to mention the whole princess feel) makes my eyes light up and tantalises my senses. So i bow down to you Saab you genius. Check out Style.com, all images are copyright of them.

Christmas '10

Christmas was rather wonderful in my household, well sorta. It was a nice warm day in the sense that everyone was happy and having fun, mum bought us a wii with resorts and sports games to play! So that made the day peak. I got two cd's (ellie goulding and pixie lott) and some other small pieces, mum had previously bought me a new dressmakers dummy a month before. I also got some soap and glory stuff which is actually the nicest body products i've ever used! They smell divine and actually make your skin sparkle (metaphorically speaking).


My kitten, Astro, fell asleep in the box my brother's Rock Band drums came in.

My boyfriend came round later on, maybe about 5 or 6pm bearing gifts and this is what he bought me:-




Coco Madmoiselle, my favourite and also my nan's (rip) and also a beautiful necklace from gold smiths.

I got him a personalised mug as well as a sudoku rubiks cube as he's obsessed with them. I wanted to get him more but didn't have the funds so he can expect some surprises next year!

So here i am 01:21am on Christmas Day.

And i'm creating a new blog for my thoughts.
Myself in one sentence? : I'm a blogger and aspiring designer who is madly, passionately and quite obsessively in love with the F word ending in ashion.

I have a tumblr already but i feel like this will be somewhere i can really go in depth and be myself, words as well as pictures. I aim to post my projects, my inspirations, my loves and my life.

So here goes.
