Marni For H&M

We have seen the amazing Versace collections at H&M last year. The high street giant is doing it again, only this time with..... Marni. I loved the video but seeing it in store is much more savvy than I anticipated. There is a lot of controversy about the models, a physician claims they look like corps. Well, I say they look very hungry!

Nevermind, lets look at the mighty collection itself.......here are my favourites;

L-R: Dress £99.99, necklace £24.99, Dress £59.99, sunglasses £19.99

Bag £59.99

Hats from £9.99

THE LOOKBOOK

I heart the designs but more discussion about the model please. Does she look like a corpse? Are the prices out of your range? What do you like/not like about the collection. Discuss.

Gok Wan For Sainsbury's

Style Expert

Nobody makes fashion more fun like Gok Wan. He is the style guru from England. His latest collection for Sainbury's is absolutely amazing. To be honest, I couldn't believe he designed for a supermarket and so affordable too. Not been arrogant or anything but not many of us will actually go grocery shopping and clothes shopping in one store. Then again, he has changed my perspective for GOOD. Thank you Gok.

Check out his collection for Sainbury's here;

Style- Easy breezy

Shell top £20

Circular skirt £30

Style- Bold and beautiful

Tunic dress £30

Style- Curvalicious

Dress £ 40

Style- Effortless chic

Cropped jacket £45

Slim fit trousers £30

Style- Retro glamour

Flared hem dress £45

HAPPY SHOPPING :)

Jo'burg Fashion Week 2012

We have seen so many fashion designs in the past few weeks from NFW, LFW to PFW. But nothing says STYLE more than Jo'burg Fashion Week. The craftsmanship is impeccable and the styles are uniquely showcasing the best out of Africa.  What is more, they do not follow trends or other global fashion markets, they create trends which make the looks high "individual". A style page for everyone!!!

First up.....

Foschini

The styles are novelty, chic and feminin. As you can see, Foschini collection shows the models figures without giving too much to the imagination. Teaming mid-length trousers with a casual knit and also mixing very dark colour with a bright mid-length trouser creating a "boy meet girl" look (see model 2). Very well done!

Tamryn Van Der Merwe

This collection is playful. It reminds of Rihanna. Free-spirited and careless but very well executed. It is one of those collection you will always remember after a show because it is different.

London Fashion Week 2012

High fashion is the best way to describe the current UK fashion industry. Looking @LFW 2012, there is no doubt designers' have gone all the way to create impeccable and immaculate designs that would forever inspire fashionistas no matter their budget. This season main colour is pastel surprisingly popular with the men's collection, making this year fashion week a very collaborative success.  Besides that, emerging fashion designers' have the opportunity to showcase their designs to hundreds of buyers, celebrities and of course fashion bloggers.

Rouge by Rachelle happens to be one of UK's emerging designers'. Her designs shows two elements in my view; artistry and individuality.

Matthew Williamson

One of Britain's top designers' Matthew has reached a peak in his career but nothing is stoping the gazing-looking designer any time soon. His 15th anniversary looked back at some of his amazing designs on the catwalk. Hats-off to a TRUE LIVING LEGEND.

Here are some of Matthew incredible designs;

This outfit was part of his first ever show in 1997

 SPRING/SUMMER 2010 - "This dress was made in acid-yellow silk chiffon, cut onto a bodice and gathered into tiny pleats. I love the combination of draping quite a sharp shape with a very feminine, fluid fabric."

SPRING/SUMMER 2009 - "This suit was made in silk satin. I wanted to make a sharp suit which would stand out from the crowd. We certainly did that in fuchsia pink, a colour which has often been associated with my label. As the label has developed over the years, more and more structure and tailored pieces have been added and so - whilst the core values of the brand have remained - I feel it’s important to try new things and add more layers and dimensions to a collection every season."

SPRING/SUMMER 2008 - "I guess I will always be known as a designer who references Ibiza, even though I’ve only been to the island a couple of times in my early Twenties. I like to think looks like this have a broader appeal. Suggestive of luxury, jet set and global travel, these kinds of looks are now covered in my separate line Escape. This show holds fond memories for me as it marked our 10-year anniversary, where Prince did an amazing performance at the show much to everyone’s amazement, including mine!"

AUTUMN/WINTER 2011-12 - "This outfit for me sums up the brand today. I love the strength of colour combined with the more muted, metallic tones and also the sharpness of the jacket teamed with the delicate, femininity of the skirt. As we move forward, our beading techniques have become more and more refined. The skirt is made up of thousands of shard-like, metallic sequins which fall into a hem covered in hand-dyed, hand-sewn, ostrich feathers."

Red Carpet Dresses At The Grammy's 2012

It is that time of year when everyone in the entertainment industry get together and celebrate their achievements. But for us fashion bloggers, another time to scrutinise their outfits. I love watching the Grammy's and the ever-bomshell that occurs. Some of which include Kanye vs Taylor Swift, Eminem vs Man with his bottom on Eminem mouth, Chris Brown emotional tribute to the late King of Pop. I am sure you lot have more on your mind.

Well, back to fashion, I admire lots of outfits on the red carpet and I think many have upped their game this year. Here goes my favourites:

 Adele- My number 1, why not? With a great voice, personality and sense of humour. All transfered into her wardrobe. She won six well deserved Grammy's! It must be that Giorgio Armani dress :)

Alicia Keys- Simple and elegant! Although Rihanna is not on my list. They are both wearing the same shoe!

Alicia is graceful and humble just like her style. Great performance to the late Etta James in a black midi dress by Alexandre Vauthier Couture and a gold necklace

Corinne Bailey Rae-made a triumphant return, winning the Best R&B Performance at the Grammys. Great dress by Christian Siriano. Look at the shoe!

Carrie Underwood- Always looking gorgeous on the red carpet. What is your medicine? Wearing white? Is she telling us something?

Who is she? Its Paris Hilton- OMG doesn't she look amazing. I seriously thought she had migrated to space. Nevermind, she shoves sweet.

Kelly Rowland- This lady has not got it wrong since establishing herself as a solo artist. Shinning like a true super-star in an embellished dress by Aberta Ferreti. Elegant!

Taylor Swift- This country angel always look demure on the red-carpet. She shines in an embellished dress with a striking high neckline by Zuhair Murad Couture.

Kelly Osborne- First, I love the hair colour! She looks effortlessly beautiful in this pretty waterfall gown. So jealous!

 Katy Perry- It looks like Ms Perry has moved on. New hair colour, eceentric outfit and of course brand new attitude. This is an unusal colour on hair, but I must say she look stunning. Lace is definitely still in Vogue. Way to go Katy!

Bruno Mars- The only male on my list. I love this guy, he looks manly in this outfit. Check out the swag and the shoes!
