Stephane Rolland

You may have noticed that my blog looks a bit different now. I was getting fed up of my dark background and how all the photos/polyvore sets etc. looked against it so I opted for a very simple white instead. I'm not totally convinced by it yet (though it is growing on me) so I may tweak it a bit more but it's far better than my previous darker one (at least I think so?...). 

It's been raining practically all day and I'm not organised enough to take photos in advance so I decided to leave an outfit post for next time. Instead I'm going to show you a French couture designer called Stephane Rolland. There's not much to say apart from how incredible the quality of these dresses ballgowns is. Have a look for yourself....

Which are your favourites? Which designers do you like?

Paisley...

I'm really excited to be going to two designer's shows at London Fashion Week this weekend (sass and bide and David Koma). It's my first ever proper fashion week so it's going to be interesting to see first hand how fashion week really works. Any tips from people who've already been?

Anyway, I'm going to have the difficult decision over what to wear. One possibility is this dress. I bought it in the summer from ebay. It was only £2, so of course I snatched it up straight away. It's served me very well so far and is very easy just to throw on when you don't really feel like creating a complicated outfit. I love the style of it with the collar (I can't get enough of this trend!) and it's always great to have something with a paisley print in your wardrobe. It's also going to be brilliant to wear in the summer. What do you think of my outfit?

Giambattista Valli...

A Parisian designer for you today. I really like this designer's collections especially his couture shows. He uses a lot of texture which I like and his garments are all very sculptured. What do you think?
