Just because the weather is getting colder, it doesn't mean that your style has to go into hibernation! After having a skim through the fall 2009 rtw runway shows, I found two looks that will liven up your winter wardrobe - plus, I have re-created the looks using items from the high street (because not all of us can afford to spend £800 on one dress!!)

Houndstooth

-Graphic houndstooth adds a lighter touch to winter's black palettes
-Oversized checks, ass seen at Preen, give the look a contemporary cool element


Preen


Dress £35 from Debenhams
Fur Coat from H&M
Boots £95 from Miss Selfridge


Shaped

-Razor-sharp cutting skims curves with super-fine accuracy
-Black and charcoal grey make for a dramatic, graphic palette


Elie Saab


Dress from Warehouse
Shoes £100 from TopShop
Gloves £18 from Asos
Tights £5 from Dorothy Perkins

If you love clothes with a girly edge then you will love Erin Fetherston's Fall 2009 collection; there is some serious full-skirt action going on! I would kill for any of these outfits (although I'm not a fan of the black and white stripe tights), especially the middle dress in the second-to-last picture. Deeeelicious!
I like the fact that there is quite a lot of black but I also love the last two dresses, and I'm a sucker for anything with bows or polka dots. I'm also not really sure what's going on with the hats but I think the shoes are killer!! I need to get myself a serious pair of platforms right away!
This isn't the whole collection, so if you want to see it all then go here.

I have just been looking through the Spring 09 couture collections, and I have decided that I am in love with Elie Saab!!! The collection was absolutely gorgeous, and I want all of these dresses right away please:






That's not the full collection by the way, if you want to see it all go here.


Plus, I got another blog award, this time from the wonderful Oniomania! Thank you!

I have just seen the Zac Posen pre-fall 2009 collection... and I am in love!!!!

"Saying that he hoped his show would inspire during challenging times, Zac Posen returned to the flirty, forties-inflected clothes that are his signature—and, as it happens, recall the look that was popular at the end of the Great Depression. For day, there were trumpet-skirted suits in sober wools, though Posen might prefer his customer play it carefree in a groovy eel-skin trench and leopard dress. The collection was heavily populated with little dresses—cocktail frocks embellished with swingy fringe and body-hugging knits. Posen kept the serious evening dramatics to a minimum, making them highly viable choices for the long red-carpet season ahead." - by Meenal Mistry from Style.com













I have left out two or three outfits that I didn't like, but everything else is perfect. I love the colours: peach, maroon, mint, lilac, gold and I have always been a fan of leopard print!
