DIOR

Dior is my all time number one favourite brand, the beauty and elegance of the designs for the dresses and leather goods is exceptional and breath taken, the detail to every last stitch is the finishing touch to each beautiful piece made by this wonderful brand

Lady Dior

My dream come true would be to own the Lady Dior handbag, a pretty and cute, subtle and not too over the top small handbag to wear on sunny days. The hard handle contrasting with the soft punctured leather of the bag is interesting with the detail of the Dior key chains on the handle. This bag comes in various colours and designs, some more simple than others, I prefer the more simple and one statement colours designs as they are more elegant and less busy than the others

These are my top 3 favourite colours of the Lady Dior, they all share a similar look, all being pastel and faded colours rather than bright and outgoing colours. These stunning bags would go beautiful with a white summer dress and some statement heels, along with your hair styled 1950's-esk.

Around the end of March, I visited the Dior exhibition which was put on in Harrods. A lovely experience which started off at the Dior cafe where I are a croissant and drank some sweet tea

After my breakfast, I wondered around the exhibition which fascinated me and made me love Dior even more! I saw how different dresses where made, read about the history of Dior and saw how the Lady Dior bag is constructed. 

In the exhibition was the dress worn by Charlize Theron in the J'adore perfume advert. It was amazing to see it in real life and look at the exceptional gold detail in every aspect of the dress. The layout of the exhibition was also beautiful as you can see the dress is surrounded by dozens of J'adore perfume bottles, a gorgeous setup. 

Block Colours

Block colours are so in at the moment! A statement clash is great for summer for example green against pink and everyone seems to be wearing it. The black on white classic contrast is one which is very much so favourited at the moment, from high street to harrods, its a trend which is loved. The Chanel Spring-Summer 2013 collection has a dress in it called the 'viscose dress'. This dress is full of detail with pearl buttons running down the back, this dress represents the elegant contrast between black and white with detail and pattern included, the squares running across the whole dress give it something more than just the black on white effect

Noted earlier, this style is also a trend in high street shops such as Topshop, but using cheaper materials. The Topshop range of this style is spectacular and are great for nights out. Topshop have also gone into different contrasts rather than just black on white.

This pair of trousers called 'SIDE STRIPE WIDE LEG TROUSER' on the website are unique, elegant, classy and well designed. I love the style of the trouser and the detail added along the seams. The tailored wide leg trouser looks good on all shapes and sizes as it exposes the good areas and hides the bad. These chic trousers are great with a tight black crop tee and a pair of wedges, along side some chunky jewelry

AQ/AQ

AQAQ also known as Aqua by Aqua, is a unique brand which not many people know about but now it has started selling for ASOS it is becoming more well known in the fashion industry. When I discovered this brand earlier this year, I was excited by their rare designs which I hadn't seen before, along side with their reasonable prices. Bright colours and simple arrangement is what makes the garments so beautiful in themselves. This brand is a new favourite for myself and I look forward to their Autumn collection

A girl Can Never Have Too Many Jewels
Flicking through the July issue of vogue, it came to my attention that the detail in jewelry is extremely significant to the piece and is usually what makes them so beautiful. The finest diamonds and choice of colour is crucial in order to make the piece attractive to the customer

This Dior piece called the 'Rose Bagatelle' was the jewel that caught my eye in this months vogue. The striking colour choice of a bright fuchsia against the simple clear diamond is beautiful creating a contrast, yet still delicate and feminine within the subject matter of a rose

One of my favourite designers is the inspiring Marc Jacobs, always with unique ideas which are out of the ordinary for example these block coloured bracelets made out of rubber. The idea to use bright colours ranging from Greens to Pinks is great for the summer season, which would go great with a tan! These marc by marc jacobs 'moc' chains are very cheap only $28 and go with almost everything. Also, the writing and branding on the plack makes the bracelet more alluring and distinctive

Hermès, an expensive yet worth the price brand which was founded in 1837 has always created pieces which will never go out of season. These loop earrings are a prime example. These beautiful hoop earrings with a bar running across the top come in pink gold and white gold, depending on your choice, my favourite pair are in the pink gold as they remind me of the typical middle ages women in the states which are portrayed in films. The beauty of the simplistic style to the hoop, minimized detail are what make the pair so elegant and gracious

Recently I spent 3 days in the scorching hot city of Madrid, the capital of Spain. Whilst most of the trip was spent soaking up the sun, I spent the morning of the last day at the market which takes place every Sunday. My favourite purchase at this market was this ring, elementary but at the same time captivating. The bright turquoise stone in the centre is what drew my attention and when I took a closer look the calved silver around the stone brought my attention towards the detail, and I had to buy it!
