Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket...

Take a deep breath and look to the stars and there you shall find Marchesa. Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig are well established Queens of red carpet glamour, but yet again they have managed to turn out a new autumn winter collection that is literally just out of this world.

Filled with romantic ruffled cocktail dresses, a colour palette of sensuous nudes, subtle pinks, night garden blacks and eye glazing whites, it will bring out the inner Barbie of any tomboy. Stars feature throughout the collection cascading across the chest and through the romantic swirls and layers of lace to create the perfect little black dress.
Though I fell deeply in love with every dress, above are a few of my favourites. These dresses will own Cannes film festival, the Met ball; Art of Elysium, the list could go on.

So next time you see a shooting star close your eyes, whisper to the fashion gods and wish for Marchesa.

Into The Wild

Feathers? Check. Sequins? Check. Metallic’s? Check. Festival season is almost upon us, so whether your heading to Glastonbury or Coachella this year, set your eyes boys and girls on this major new waistcoat brought to us by the one and only Matthew Williamson.

Matthew season after season always seems to give you that tight knotted fashion flip in your stomach when you set your eyes on his festival perfect, bohemian creations. When I look at the waistcoat it makes me want to reach for my ray bans and turn up the Fleetwood because you realise spring is almost here.
Throw the waistcoat over a plain tank, stack your arms with cuffs and bracelets, add fedora, slouchy knee boots and cute denim cut offs and your an instant festival goddess. However by all means feel free to wear over a LBD as a perfect summer update to a classic, as this little beauty should not be neglected through the seasons.

Just one last thing to add though I can’t help but wonder that there might still be something missing with the waistcoat, Mick Jagger?

Calm Your Templer

As I sit flicking through a personal stack of magazines and endless fashion books I can't help but gaze and admire at the beauty of Karl Templers work and understand why this man after so long is still such a powerful force in the fashion world. Calm is not by any means an emotion inflicted upon you when you look at one of Karl's creations, most often when you look at pieces of his work you are not even looking at the clothes but more the drama, the depth and the story he captures with his extraordinary vision.

As one of the worlds most sought after fashion editors/stylist's Karl has had a career that only most of us could dream of ,with a ten year stint at Arena Homme plus as editor in chief, countless international magazine covers and most importantly Francisco Costa's right hand man at Calvin Klein.

Mr Templer does not just create photographs, he does not just edit fashion and he doesn't just style editorials, he demands the energy on every page ,creates the characters and tells the enchanting stories, a story I will be forever reading.

Obey Thy Sultan

Peasant chic at its best, I introduce you to Sultan Wash inspired from the uniforms of Chinese military, created by Jeremy Sultan. Sultan Wash shows us what dressing like a red blooded Parisian is really about. The attention to detail in every piece is exquisite from the frail creases in the collars of the shirts, to the delicate wash of soothing earth tones that run through every stitch of the 100% all natural fabrics.

What makes Sultan Wash so special for me is that I could easily see every piece draping on from a French washing line from one flower bedded apartment window to another, in a quiet Paris alley building. The collection is filled with the dopest utility jackets, body touch tanks and silhouette perfect knitwear, classic, simple and light I dare you not to adore. Pull a studded belt around the Parker and fingerless knitted gloves on your hands and your good to walk the St Germain.

Wearing Sultan Wash feels like climbing out of bed and into your boyfriends clothes instantly dressed, instantly irresistible and instantly out the door.

Down on the Bowery

Once upon a time there were two best friends who found themselves walking the streets of New York, along their journey they wondered onto the Bowery. The Bowery is home to one of my favourite boutiques in the world, Blue and Cream. For me Blue and Cream completely symbolises what New York style is all about, carrying labels such as Charlotte Ronson, Philip Lim, Elizabeth & James, Alexander Wang and many others. A girl is completely spoilt for choice.

Also I have to give credit to Blue & Cream's private Label, which is the boutiques own brand, holding personally, one of my favourite plain white tee's.To me Blue and Cream is not like shopping its like looking around one great big closet and playing dress up.

Not only is the store in a great spot but its also located in one of the best areas of downtown New York (Patrica Fields store is across the street but that's another story). I have only been lucky enough to visit the Bowery location of the store but B&C also resides in Southampton, hopefully one day we will be paying a visit.

Oh and in case your interested those two best friends left with two Elizabeth & James plaid shirts, one Elizabeth & James white tee, a Yigal Azrouel waistcoat, a Philip Lim cardigan and two Blue and Cream private label t-shirts. Fairy tales always have happy endings.

My Hero

Hero is the only way to describe Mr Prabel Gurung after his debut at New York Fashion week and naturally a hero produces heroic dresses. Watch.This.Space

Death By Talons

Jewelry should definitely make a statement and what better way to give attitude then with Pamela Love. The silver plated dagger rosary necklace is out of control. The dagger just adds the right amount of bad ass to the girly twists of rosary around ones neck.

Best to last the, Talon cuff. Talons featured heavily in Pamela's collection a design so simple yet so unique. Layer the cuff with more loose bohemian wrist wear by day or rock solo with a cocktail dress by dark.
