Simple Chic Cunningly Clever

Twenty8twelve’s new collection offers an exciting colour range that takes you from bright orange and fuchsia to some gorgeously soft pastelly colours like old rose’ and soft ashy greys. Mix in some clever little prints and you have your must have staple items, very conveniently all in one collection. 

If that is not enough and you still need some more convincing then I will just have to let the materials like the super soft Silk, Leather and Cashmere do the rest of the talking. 

I’m in love with most of the collection as all items are just so elegantly simple and easy to combine but if I had to pick favourites then I would have to go for this lovely knitted jumper /dress combination and this super cute little baby doll number.

Spring 2012 Couture

One of my favourite seasons has just made it down the high flying catwalks of Paris and I thought I’d share my favourites of this year’s spring 2012 Couture collections with you.


I seem to get more and more pickier every season and the outcome this time around has been only four – however, stunningly amazing collections. Christian Dior, Elie Saab, Valentino, Giambattista Valli

Amazing

 

Best Dressed: Screen Actors Guild Awards 2012

There is no rest for the wicked as the award season goes into another round for the 18th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards which took place this last Sunday at the Shrine Exposition Center in Los Angeles.

Find Stacy Keibler, wearing a delicate hand corded lace fishtail gown by Marchesa, Julia Stiles showed off in Monique Lhuillier, Tilda Swinton mixed it up a little in a marvellous flowing custom made Lanvin,   Mila Kunis, my personal favourite - in an amaaaaazing water coloured gown by Alexander McQueen and Natalie Portman, nicely understated in Giambattista Valli while Viola Davis stunned in another amazing creation my Marchesa.

Lazy Sundays

Best Dressed: Golden Globes 2012

Please apologise that I have not gotten around to posting this a little earlier, I've been a very busy bee and always working. Work, work, work and no play for nina is not good :( ... Anyhow...

Being very honest, I feel somewhat disappointed with the outcome of some of the outfits this year, some of the dresses seemed rather boring, dull and frumpy almost. Now of course that won’t spoil our evening and you can always count on the usual individuals to make it up.  

Take Charlize Theron for example, making it down the red carpet in another magnificent Dior Couture gown. Reese Witherspoon, striking in Zac Posen, Dianna Agron stuns in a laser stencil cut gown by Giles, Jessica Biel in the always amazing Elie Saab (my personal favourite), Sarah Hyland in Dolce & Gabbana and Salma Hayek in a beautiful strapless black and gold number by Gucci.

How about these little cutesies for our January Wardrobe?

- Jester B from Bertie

Oops I did it again

It seems that it is simply impossible for me to walk in and out of a Whistles Branch without adding a few more items to my wardrobe each and every time. I’m actually starting to feel a little bit bad and guilty of spending all my money on things that could be very well used for, say rent or bills etc… ;P

Buuuuut (!) Please have a look at this beauty. A timeless navy blue, a wonderful cut and right on trend striking leather detailing! All in one coat! I found it so hard to find a coat with leather applications that doesn’t cost a fortune and at the same time doesn’t look cheap and/or tacky.  This is it, ladies; let me introduce the “Belinda” Sailor Coat by Whistles.

It has been out for some time and – super bonus – has actually gone into sale now. There are not very many left in the shops, so if you feel my pain, go run and make this everlasting beauty your own!

It is now £130 down from £275  x
