Ball Gown Elegance...

I'm a sucker for a beautiful gown and with Royal Wedding fever catching, I selected a few I may wear for the special day...I joke, I'm not invited, but I may indulge in one of these lovelies to wear to my tea party.

Katy Perry does GHD...

She's the golden girl, the sickly sweet pop princess who can do no wrong. So its really not surprising that GHD snapped her up to become the face of the Eras of Style limited edition collection.  She's versatile, beautiful and ridiculously sexy...and sells GHD so well.

The campaign, shot by the amazing David LaChapelle, sees Katy posing with three different hairstyles that epitomise styles from the 50's, 70's and 80's.

My Friday must haves...

The @Queen_UK would officially declare it #Ginoclock by this time, so I thought I'd round my week off with my Friday must haves.  Anything striped (preferably blue and white) is my weakness at the minute so there's sure to be something striped that creeps in.

I ♥ Preen...

During my regular net-a-porter 'new in' browsing session I came across the most beautiful dress I have ever seen in my entire life.

The beaded chiffon and crepe dress is the epitome of ladylike glamour.  The belted waist pulls in the waist creating the perfect hourglass silhouette while the skirt of the dress billows over the hips and finishes at the perfect classic midi length.  The beading on the cream bodice of the dress gives the dress texture and romance . 

Karl Lagerfeld does Diet Coke...

What's pink, white and black and will have everyone scrambling to their nearest Selfridge's to get their hands on them?  A Karl Lagerfeld designed Diet Coke bottle.  I have an Ugly Betty Diet Coke bottle on my bedroom dressing table that would appreciate some company off one of these.

The limited edition bottles will hit shelves in June and follow on from a number of diet coke and celeb collaborations from Patricia Field, Roberto Cavalli and Daft Punk, but Lagerfeld's is sure to be one of the most popular.  Speaking of the collaboration, Karl Lagerfeld himself admitted that it was an exciting thing for him because Diet Coke is 'his' drink.  Also admitting that back in 2001 he lost 7 stone (45 kg) from drinking only Diet Coke and eating only stewed vegetables.

The bottles are sure to be a hit, anything Karl Lagerfeld touches turns to gold...

Paris Fashion Week...

My ultimate favourite fashion week (yes, I have actually just admitted it).  Paris means one thing, classic designs from classic designers.  From Chanel to Chacharel, and Balenciaga, Paris Fashion Week is home to some of the leading names in the fashion industry.

Balenciaga set the tone for Thursday in Paris with a collection that had a very Miu Miu SS11 feel to it.  Looser shapes, oversized jackets and a somewhat sports luxe feel met with eclectic prints and colours and an array of textures.  Leather was used for draped skirts, knee pads on skinny trousers and trims at the bottom of skirts which made for a fantastic display of craftsmanship. Not necessarily a collection I'd wear, but a cleverly produced collection nonetheless.

From Balenciaga to Princess of Pretty, Nina Ricci. A beautiful collection in the most delicate of fabrics, sweet colours and intricate designs.  Moving from a beautiful embroidered black lace dress into chiffon draped dresses and a silk burgundy blouse worn with a sequin embellished jacket and tiered black skirt.  A 'dressing gown' esque coat in a fabulously thick cream knitted material worn with a peach high frilled neck blouse.  Iced blue suits, gathered chiffon and frilled necks moved into embellished chiffon blouses toughened up with a leather jacket and loose trousers and a beautiful tailored skirt suit with a magnificent fur hat.  It was grown up innocence created by the delicate material, shapes and ivory tights that moved into grown up glamour with the right bits nipped in at the right places.  Nina Ricci...I am truly in love.
