Dreaming of Dior Autumn/Winter 2017

Hello lovelies, the other week as I was doing a quick scroll through Facebook when I stumbled across some of the most beautiful clothes I've seen. Of course, I thought I must share it with everyone! Please don't expect a blog post using proper fashion lingo just me gushing about my love of a fashion collection. I think the pieces from the collection really show that fashion and clothing can be just as beautiful and artistic as an oil painting from the 17th Century. 
The whole collection appeals to me due to its blue palette and use of black accessories as most of my wardrobe is filled with clothes of those colours. There is a definite nod to the Seventies through out especially with the flowing fabric and the styling of the models hair in soft waves. 

The beret trend seems to be making it's way through to this years Autumn and Winter, which I'm not complaining about at all (not that I could pull it off) but, everybody I've seen wear them so far look so cool in them. In this case it no exception, the leather beret worn by all the models pulls the whole outfits and even the collection together. 
               
The lace sleeves/cape of this first dress are so beautiful. ahh it literally looks like water (probably makes no sense what so ever)

Ahh this dress, the embroidery on it looks so delicate
I'm not sure but, it looks like the embroidery could be moons? How does the second one some how look like it's made up of flower petals? I really like the square neck line of the dress too

The gold detail looks like it was hand painted on to the dress it looks magical maybe even worn to a ball in Hogwarts.

The top half of the dress is sweet with the delicate ruffles on both the sleeves and around the neck with little pin tucks on the chest.

The ruffles on the neckline of this dress is pretty. I love the layers of the cape on the dress to the right.

The sleeves of the first dress *insert heart eye emoji*, I really like the effect of the dark velvet material in contrast with the sheer material of the sleeves. 

The photographs used in this blog post were taken by Lillie Eiger back stage at the fashion show.  For the full article about the Dior AW17 written by Vanessa Hseih for Dazed and Confused you can read it here

I would love to do some illustrations of some of my favourite pieces from the collection.

I will be doing a post all about my favourite looks from all the Fashion Weeks soon which I'm really looking forward to doing, although it is a tad late.

Thank you for reading!

Love from

For the love of Valentino - Part 1 - Space

I saw these dresses on the internet a couple of months ago and thought they were beautiful and magical looking, so I thought I would share them with you all in a post. A big fan of the fact navy is used as the main colour through out the space themed pieces. They are definitely works of art! If only I could afford just one piece from the collection...

British Designer Celia Birtwell and Italian pop artist Giosetta Fioroni teamed up to bring this stunning Valentino collection to life. 

I love shirt dress on the right, matching go go boots and bag, so 60's I had to love it.

I would totally wear this and the dress above (left) if I had an awards ceremony to go to, I can dream right?

These space inspired dresses aren't the only pieces in the Pre-Fall 2015 collection but, they are my favourites. I shall be doing another post with my other favourite none space related pieces.

What do you think of the dresses?
