Givenchy envy...

I am in love with their AW11 Couture collection....if you really know me you would know that this is me all over! It makes me think of alien mermaid brides? But it is the epitome of fierce feminity for me...its unusual but elegant at the same time, even the bags merge into the dresses, I am utterly in love!

On a semi connected issue, Sowe has tassle bags similar to those in the pictures above, in black. We have had a number of them sell over the last year or so and we keep them in regular rotation - inspired a la SJP as Carrie in the episode she visits Brooklyn to see Jerry in Full Moon. Elle-Phant & I have been rocking the longest tassle bags for a long time and they always get the right attention!

My brush with LFW

On Sunday I was lucky enough to go to the LFW AW11 shows of Matthew Williamson & Vivienne Westwood Red Label...

To me Vivienne Westwood's show was such a mixture of influences particularily in headwear, you could not pick one sort of "style"...it was little bit Robin Hood & his merry men, a little ode to Royalty, a smidgen of cowboy, and a heaped teaspoon of English Heritage....my faves are the crowns!!! The make-up was by MAC...

I nearly started to write down the items that I loved...but realised it was literally something from EVERY piccy - I'll shorten it to check, suits, braces, & high waisted skirts, oh my!

Her show was inspiring in setting standards of true indivuality...

Amongst the beautiful clothes & stunning models were many celebs and my pick for best dressed at Vivienne Westwood was Jaime Winstone. I loved the pattern on her dress - her fierce looks & the feminine pattern clashed & intertwined...I loved it!

My fave two outfits at Matthew Williamson consisted of beautiful colours & a mixture of pattern & texture...but most of all were wearable...its not too often when i see clothes on the runway that I honestly think will 100% suit smaller & more curvey frames...for me he hit the nail on the head! i love love love fur at the minute on a night out (better than looking like I'm freezing my ass off!!) and I have always loved coral with muted camel - note the almost irredescent blue heels - just makes that outfit individual...not the obvious choice either!

Unfortunatley the person who I thought looked A-mezzing @ Matthew Williamson I can't find a picture of : ( & I rudely don't know her name...but I will give her a mention - Lady sitting next to Olivia wearing black, orange, green & red maxi looked HOT & was absolutley stunning!!!

See ya peeps, I'm off to Spin @ Apres tonight...Got to show off a customised dress - will post piccys!!!
