She's not just a W.A.G

OH MY GOODNESS !
Have you seen Victoria Beckham's s/s 2011 collection ! It is my favourite collection so far at new york fashion week, I want every single dress even the purple ones which is usually a colour I hate, but I'm sure if Mrs Beckhams wearing it so will half of the population !

And as if not to contradict her super skinny image, her collection was based on curves and the womanly figure. For example dresses that accentuated the waist, hip or bust and she also used more vibrant colours than her last 2 collection using oranges and purples instead of the usual svelte and slimming black she is so well known for.

As well in the change in Beckham's colour palette she has moved away from her more obvious looking pencil shape with draping and thicker fabrics to add shape or the opposite and using thinner fabrics to make them cling and again show a womanly silhouette, I particularly liked the silver lame maxi dress as it falls very elegantly.
However it was still good to see the odd tiny cinched in waist and trademark Victoria sun glasses and re-invented outfits she's worn in previous years

I found my future wedding dress !!!! or one of them ;-)

Elie Saab
I have loved Elie Saab dresses ever since I came across them in 2004 when Victoria Beckham wore a beautiful lime green glittery dress with thin organza/chiffon fin's coming from V's at the back, the way the dress fell and moved looked incredibly elegant and ever since seeing that dress I followed Saab's collections to find more and more elegant dresses every year.


This years collection also looked fantastically elegant and I particularly liked how Saab stuck to a very subtle neutral colour palette but then using a bright red crimson colour on a dozen dresses to break up the collection slightly and show the designs still worked both in bold and dull colours.


I was also amazed to see Saab use pattern this season as the garment usually focus on embellishment or shape and texture . However the trio of patterned dresses not only ticked all these boxes but used a gorgeous almost blood stain affect but that looked like it had been (very skillfully) thrown over the gown to create a messy look but then the cut and style of the dress clashed with this by being very flowing and elegant all in all making a very unique look.

And Finally ... THE DRESS
I have not fallen in love with a dress this much since the Vivienne Westwood wedding dress in Sex and the city, as soon as I saw it I could not believe how beautiful it was. The colour, the shape, the fabric is all just perfect and a dress I dream my wedding dress to look something like ... so when Hugh Grant's ready with my Tiffany ring , give us a call :)
