In Full Bloom

 Emilia Wickstead

Winter florals are going to be a big trend for autumn winter and I am very much liking the look of them.

Here are some of the best on the catwalks. And Ted Baker are the first to make the break on the high street. Yum!

Isn't this Erdem Pandora lace dress just the most swoonsomely romantic dress you have ever seen? Sigh!

To Er(dem) is Divine

Oh lucky, lucky Andrea Riseborough in next season's Erdem.

Surely the dictionary definition of a breath of fresh air.

And my personal inspiration to get me through the cold winter months.

Plus, Mrs Rowan, if you are reading this, look what's on her head. It's that hat that I love and you hate so much. Now that I am further from your distaste I might try one out this summer. I think it looks particularly lovely with round sunglasses.

 Please don't hate me...

Just look at the pretty, pretty dresses...

...and take deep breaths...

...think of summer and the hot sun and your lovely tan, and forgive me...

Ladies in Red

Lady in red is daaaancing with me, cheek to cheek. There's nobody here, it's just you and me...

Oooh, sorry, I didn't spot you there, where was I...?

Yes, ahem, Erdem.

I adored Michelle Williams in this Erdem dress. (Particularly with her insanely lovely hair.)



And then Alexa Chung wore it for Net a Porter, and I fell a little further.

It is a simply divine dress. Then To'Sho' was "inspired" by it. Badly. It looked cheap. It probably was cheap. I judged it. Not favourably.

So what of this French Connection number that has been similarly "inspired"? I'm going to a party on Friday and I'd love a new frock. Is this the one?

Would having it in jade be better?



Or blue?



Or should I stear clear entirely and find something else? What to do?

Up and At Em

I think Emily Browning is terribly pretty. She is in that film Sucker Punch that everyone is calling your average teenage gamers wet dream. Nice. But regardless she is an attractive girl.

So why did she look weirdly like Dannii Minogue at the premiere? Don't you think? Not like her at all.

I'm impressed that she managed to bag an Erdem dress to wear though.



Because I think this dress is heaven. Although I'm not entirely sure she is doing it justice.

Maybe the make up is too heavy.

Or maybe I'm just confused as to why I'm looking at a picture of a Minogue who isn't a Minogue. Most disconcerting.

Pretty as You Please

Swoon! Isn't this the most gloriously pretty and romantic dress that you have ever seen in your life?!

Oh, Erdem, well played. So very well played.

Now I just need a lottery win to afford your £4,620 worth of gorgeousness. That'll happen, right?
