Put Your Hands Together

I have been very scathing in the past of collaborations. Particularly the H&M ones. But I am willing to take it all back because I have just seen the Lanvin collaboration. And there are some beautiful things.



It is going to be the most almighty bun fight when it gets launched. I envisage hair pulling and sharp elbows.



Because finally a collaboration has produced some truly desirable clothes. I just wonder whether they are let down by cheap fabrics as is often the case.



I think I am willing to get involved in the crush though, if only this dress could be mine. Isn't it delightful?



Wish me luck!

Sclub Innit

You're back. Yesss!! And it's your birthday and all that jazz! So, I was thinking about your party on Saturday. If the sun is shining again I was planning to wear a new frock I picked up post-Florence. Now. Rachel Stevens was wearing it last night at the Glamour Awards. Look! Here she is:

I have it in a really divine soft grey. I looked DEAD in the shell pink which Miss Stevens does not, so bravo to her. But also not bravo. Because she is sort of murdering this frock. The neck is a delicious little cowl. Why on EARTH she is pulling it over one shoulder like that I don't know. And the waist needs a belt for two reasons. Firstly to cover up the grannyish elasticated element and secondly to hoick it up a good few inches, there's not nearly enough thigh on show there for me. And Rachel has a good thigh, she was whizzing about with that frisky little Italian on Strictly a mere six months ago...in fact she has a good everything, which is even more reason for a belt. I must say though she is doing awfully well to wear a heel with it. I looked ludicrous trying it with anything higher that a flat.

Anyway, that's the frock. So you might see my interpretation of it on Saturday. Fingers crossed it's baking hot again.
