Shoulder the Blame

If you are talking sexy, you might well be talking Penelope Cruz, right? And her appearance on the red carpet for The Counselor in Nina Ricci absolutely confirms that this season's fashion erogenous zone is the neck and shoulders.

Good old Miuccia has also championed the look and, for a girl who doesn't tend to flash the flesh, this is a subtly sexy style of dressing that is just my speed.

Slouchy, undone cardigans beneath dresses here I come.

Nina Ricci

One of my favourite collections for autumn/winter is Nina Ricci. Super feminine/ballerina chic.

OK, so I know that this isn't particularly practical. Or, indeed, at all practical. But isn't this bead embellished coat by Nina Ricci just the most glorious thing you have ever laid eyes on?

Well That's Ricci

I love Nina Ricci's spring summer collection. So very elegant.

Isn't this sweater heaven? Feminine colour and belt, but quite masculine with the ribbing and miltary style epaulettes. Dreamy!

Clever Nina Nicci.

Bit of Ruff(le)

I am in love with this Nina Ricci dress! Isn't it insane? So pink! So frivolous! So frouffy! So silly! So heavenly!

Love it! Love it! Love it!

Ricci Pickings

You know those Nina Ricci shoes that were just so ridiculous that no one was ever going to attempt to wear them?


Right?

Well, I think here is the proof that it should have stayed that way.



God bless Daphne Guinness for trying, but seriously, if she can't pull them off surely they are entirely beyond redemption.
