Todays look of the day started with this fab bottega veneta dress I saw on the fall runways and was happy to be seen sold on net a porter. The color scheme is a pink,purple and black very elegant and lady like. The look is certainly glamourous the suede pumps stunning dress the jewels and most importantly the dramatic and ever so glamourous and chic shades  that you would wear with this outfit inside or out, rain or shine! I could picture Marion Cottillard going to diner in paris wearing this and the dress would totes go perfectly with dramatic flashing cameras! Think of the latest Miss Dior campaign starring mila kunis if you replaced Mila with Marion and with this outfit it would be perfection. Its chic, sophisticated and very old school glam with a strong and highly stylish woman behind the look!

Total cost - £4,750 

 
One of fashions favorite things is fashion ads and i have lots to show you and dont forget this is only part 1 ;) Here is a selection of the good the bad and the strange but we all love it be sure to see most of these in your August issues soon and expect a whole lot in your september issue, August is the first issue were all the new ads are released so its just as entertaining as looking at the fab editorials but before the august issues i have a whole lot of fab ads to look at and here is the first batch of them :D Which is your fav? Me personally could not chose but i die for kate in ferragomo,the jason wu ad and stella tennet in givenchy is major omg also Lindsey in Mulberry i adore mulberries adds!!!
 
It feels just like yesterday the fall collections but it was really 8 weeks since the last show in paris and its officially resort time! The season is just as big as the ready wear ones now as it has gained a reputation as being more than just commercial and boring but a actually fabulous fashion spectacular. Its always been the buyers season but now everyone from vogue magazine pay close attention to the fab fashion and the resort shows act as a great prediction for spring. I call it mini fashion season the collections are smaller and shown in small presentations, this bottega veneta collection was a small 25 piece collection it was simple but desirable there were some fab prints which were in subdued but still refreshing tones. The collection was very commercial as it is during resort and i saw some fab pieces which are prefect for your pre spring wardrobe notable favs were a jersey grey maxi styled with sandals its causal cool and a little chic! I also loved the florals the dresses are prefect for your everyday wardrobe and a prefect work look which isn't all business! I didnt like the lacking in color i wanted something bright thats bold and a statement like last years resort show! But still the fashions were sporty,easy,commercial,casual and subdued.
 
Major causal trend for summer is the shirt which has been reinvented on the runways and made so cool and effortless commercial the casual shirt worn minimalist,accessorized or totes styled is totes in!

Tomorrow is part 2 were there will be a lot more fabulous fall accessories including dvf,fendi,emilio pucci,hermes,erdem,ferragamo...etc!!! comment on your fav so far!
 
Fur accents and jewel-box ornamentation at the neck (and therefore drawing attention around the face) were everywhere this season in the form of brooches like those at Bottega Veneta, so deliberately placed that it was hard to tell if they were a separate item or part of the dress, fabulous fur collars , and knit snoods that offered the same idea, but for a more downtown clientele.

 
This season velvet made a major return, designers have been showing it in causual and glam looks this season so next fall you will definitely be seeing some velvet somewhere!!!

How to wear

This season with the velvet trend the best way to wear it would be through 3 key items that will look incredible stylish and on trend!

1.The little velvet dress

The little velvet dress will be a major party dress for the fall season because its on trend,looks very chic and has a sexual look. It is a great way to wear the glam side of velvet trend without buying a evening dress also the velvet dress will also be making appearances on the high street in such stores as zara, topshop and H&M and also in the high end stores such as gucci,tom ford,carven,ralph lauren and several others the the little velvet dress is easy glam and great way to wear the velvet trend!!!

2.The velvet pant

This item merges several major trends this season velvet,pants,tailoring and strong clothes so the velvet pants would be easy causal,glam and smart way to wear the velvet trend. Pants can work with a lot of different items dresses,blouses,sweaters etc and can be very easy on the eye. For example a cute proenza schouler brocade dress worn with a fab velvet pant can make the look extra fab and more easy! So the velvet pant is a versatile way to incorporate the velvet trend into your everyday wardrobe along with others!

3.The velvet skirt

The velvet skirt is really fabulous way to incorporate velvet into everyday wardrobe because is great work clothes,great casual clothes and great evening glam clothes. It also comes in a lot of different silhouettes and is versatile giving every women the opportunity to wear a velvet skirt. The velvet skirt is cute and sexy and can look cool and preppy, I would certainly go with the velvet skirt out of the 3 items!
