Marc by Marc ♥ ...

I am a sucker for Marc by Marc...as you may have gathered if you are a regular reader, and I am absolutely besotted with the Bella striped silk dress.  With navy and off white block stripes and a dash of bright yellow the dress screams preppy summer chic and is at the top of my must have list for this week.

Festival Fever...

The festival of all festivals, Coachella, kicked festival season off this week and seen celebrities of all kinds flock to west coast USA to bask in some mid April sunshine and bid for leader of the fashion pack with new festival trends.

The LWD (little white dress) appears to be a 'go to' for the fashion savvy, with Alessandra Ambrosio, Whitney Port and Alexa Chung all opting for a simple white dress and piling on the accessories.  Katy Perry played with the eras and was spotted in a beautiful 50's style lace layered D&G dress, Isabel Lucas done glamorous gypsy chic and left the hot pants to Kate Bosworth, Camilla Belle and Nicole Richie.

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...
