LFW: Burberry Prorsum

via Style.com

 

 

So I'm obsessed about pretty much everything to do with this collection.  Do yourself a favour and see the whole collection here.  From the neon gold shoes to the capelets to the reworked rainbow metallica trenches.  Commentary on Style.com implied it was showy and more about entertainment but I can't agree.  Christopher Bailey is a gorgeous genius and this is my favourite show of the season so far.  Totally in keeping with the Burberry look but with all the things I love: hot, bold colours, capes, rocking silhouettes and all still super chic.

There are no words.  Yet still, the Burberry show deserves a post of its own.  Wait and you shall receive.  Christopher Bailey, you gorgeous genius.

I'm late to the party, but Frank Ocean is incredible.  And I can't get this song out of my head.  Soul.

I have so many thoughts and too much going on to comment on them all.  Next time round I'll do better.  For the moment:  Marchesa - so much Indian inspiration, which I should love but it felt a little contrived and certainly no better than any of the stunning pieces I saw recently at an Indian wedding.  A lot of floaty from a number of designers, particularly J.Mendel.  Rodarte and Proenza very edgy - obviously I loved the crazy blues and greens coming through.  Orange is definitely having its moment - it was bursting in most shows.  Black and white also.  Victoria Beckham emerged with some fun new silouhettes.



NYFW: Jenny Packham Spring 2013

There was pretty much nothing I didn't love about the Jenny Packham show.  It wasn't necessarily the most fashion forward of the shows, but by george it was sexy as all hell and glamour, glamour, glamour.  Stunning.  View the whole show here.

 

NYFW: J.Crew Spring 2013

via Style.com

 

Favourite looks from J.Crew SS2013 at NYFW.  View the whole collection here.  Loving the pastels, the prints and the small punches of colour pop.  Some of the prints and textures particularly on pastel remind me of DVF's show last year - perhaps that's why I love some of these looks so much.

KMidd rocking one of my favourite looks from Prabal Gurung last spring - this collection was just divine; the prints, the purple and the textures - what's not to like? 

Coveting: just a nail

Juste un Clou by Cartier.  You can view the entire collection here.   Design is by Aldo Cipullo, who was also behind the iconic Love bracelet (still waiting to receive this from the love of my life).  The industrial-inspired piece is available in white, rose, and yellow gold, and some with diamonds. The above is my favourite, and a gorgeous birthday present.

Proenza Schouler colour block cap-toe pumps available here.  Love this description on Shopbop:

 

"Fluid metallic accents gild the heel of these sleek, feminine Proenza Schouler pumps. Composed of nylon and accented with a patent leather heel cap, this pair mixes textures to striking effect, with a pointed matte toe cap and mirrored acrylic stiletto heel. Leather sole."

Love this shot of SJP wandering for real estate in NYC.  Vaguely reminiscent (though updated!) of the last scene of A Women's Right to Wear Shoes, the episode where Carrie has her shoes stolen at a party.

 



A great happiness
