PEARL

Wearing: Ann Demeulemeester ball gown, 3.1 Philip Lim clutch, Balenciaga heels, Pearls from Claire's

This dress is probably the most amazing thing I own; it's been worn a couple of times on the blog but never for a special occasion, such as my birthday on Wednesday. Believe it or not it is usually much bigger with a train, but Ann gave it ties at the side to bring it up off the floor and wrap it around your waist. The pearl accessories are inspired by Chanel SS12 and are just little cheapies bought from Claire's. They look so amazing though, no? More birthday photos coming soon!

NAVY AND RUST

Wearing: Ann-Sofie Back coat, Acne peggy shirt, Alexander Wang crossover bra, Vivienne Westwood trousers, Balenciaga shoes, Moxham taba bracelet, Persol opticals

Aside from the heels, this makes seriously comfy loungewear. I've been living in this outfit in the studio since being back in London and slipping on a pair of heels to dash out for meetings. I feel much more energised since the Christmas break, my new years resolution, to get up at 7am every morning, has meant i'm up before the workmen demolishing away and I'm no longer a cranky morning person. I am excited about it getting lighter again though. I hope you're all enjoying the new year!

My favourite campaigns of A/W 2010/11

Balenciaga

BALENCIAGA

This Balenciaga collection was a real love hate relationship for me. Whilst I adored some of the new shapes and colour combinations, I was left wondering "what the hell?" With the 90's newsprint pieces, what on earth?! Anyway we can forget that that second half of the collection existed and just concentrate on the first.

I really liked some of the blocky structured jackets, much more reminiscent of the old Balenciaga whilst the circle patterned jumpers and skirts felt very modern and fresh.

The pastel colour combinations were perfect for me, a really nice surprise in an a/w collection, my favourite piece was the pastel dress in the third picture and the grey structure jacket in the 5th.
