Another gorgeous dress i really want this summer...It's a Grecian inspired maxi dress made using Japanese fabric engineered specially to create heavy yet soft drape. The finest yarns are spun to achieve dense tightly woven fabric which still has a dramatic fluidity and soft hand feel that can otherwise not be achieved. The yarns used, create a soft subtle shine to highlight the drape and style of the garment. The Leola Maxi dress is a key AllSaints piece with corseted bodice and hand embellished beading detail. This style has a slight puddle train to the side that can be hitched and buttoned at back. Priced at £450...do we think its worth it... ermmmm no but it's still gorgeous an i would love somebody to buy it for my summer wardrobe!!!

All Saints spring/summer!!
This dress is so hot for this season!! sexy yet elegant...very expensive yet worth the money...Inspired by an original wartime parachute, and this double layered cotton dress took 75 hours to create. Consisting of 10m of fabric, this inspirational piece features 16 cotton ties to create a truly unique silhouette. I would never be able to pull this beautiful dress off but i can always dream!!!!!

V & A Grace Kelly exhibition opening tomorrow!!!
GRACE KELLY EXHIBITION OPENS
By Emma Sells | Posted: Fri 16 Apr 2010
The V&A's much-anticipated exhibition dedictated to the style of Grace Kelly opens tomorrow.
There's no denying that Grace Kelly was a fashion icon. The actress and Princess (she married Prince Ranier of Monaco) wowed the world throughout the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s with her polished and elegant style. And now you can see some of her most iconic outfits first hand. This would be such an inspiration and so fascinating to see and i would love to go!!
Tomorrow the VIctoria and Albert museum opens an exhibition dedicated to Kelly's wardrobe, entitled Grace Kelly: Style Icon. You can see dresses that she wore in 'High Society' and Rear Window', the gown that she was wearing when she won her Oscar and pieces that were designed for the events around her wedding, not to mention an impressive selection of creations by Balenciaga, Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent etc.....

Is this the end of Faith shoes??
IS THIS THE END OF FAITH?
Faith has announced today that it has gone into administration.
The troubled shoe brand has been searching for a buyer for the last few weeks but now it looks as though it may be the latest high street victim of the credit crunch. But hope is not all lost - if a new investor comes forward soon then the brand could still be saved.
In the meantime the online shop isn't taking any more orders but the stores are still open and are offering 10% off everything for the foreseeable future. This was a huge shock as i always thought the brand was very successful...it would seem not!!

Clogs making a comeback hummm!!!
It is said this season If there's one investment to make on the footwear front for summer, it's clogs. I'm not entirely sure about this returning trend from the 90's. However they did look fab with the outfits on the Chanel 2010 spring/summer collection i recently posted. Louis Vuitton have in turn produced some that are not as clumpy in a faded denim colour which would look hot this season!! However we can see them emerging through many high street stores just in time for the summer, therefore more affordable... in places like Urban Outfitters, Topshop and Kurt Geiger!!! Maybe this trend is not for me..
