I must say that this year the British Fashion Awards really nailed it! Alexander McQuenn received the “BFC Outstanding Achievement in Fashion Design“, Lara Stone was the “Model of the year” and Mulberry was the “Designer Brand of the Year“.
However, and I don’t know if you’ll agree, but in my opinion Phoebe Philo was the most deserving price, she received the “Designer of the Year” for her work at Celine, and let’s be honest she was able to turn the brand around and in an extremely successful way.
Being a graduate from Central Saint Martins she, of course, knows the best cut, having worked with Stella also helps. However, what’s makes Phoebe so special is her street cool touch. She gave Celine the “it” factor that the brand needed so deeply. I’m very excited to see what she will show in the next seasons, I think it’s important that she maintains Celine young chique look with a little Phoebe twist.
My favorites of Phoebe Philo for Celine this year:

It is quite a bold thing to say, however she deserves it and my favourite item of the year has to be Stella McCarteney’s coat!
It is such an intemporal piece, has an incredible cut (have you tried it on? Please do!!) and makes you fell like a million pounds. You really can’t go wrong with this one… It is the investiment to make! It suits all kinds of bodies, and colors, the fabric is soft, you can wear it with a dress, trousers or a skirt, it really doesn’t matter the focus will always be your coat! Altought it has straight lines, a certain masculine touch, you’ll always look girly and feminine in it.

Finally he returns!

I confess that when I first saw this collection it had little or no appeal to me whatsoever. But now… I’m actually starting go appreciate it.
I’m so sorry Miuccia but it was the eye wear, the shoes, the bright colors, simply too much! However I admit that individually the pieces are amazing…that denim bag, the dresses and pencil skirts, the beautiful pants and shirts!
Not my favorite collection of Prada, but nicely done. The adds are amazing as always!
On the other hand, let’s talk Miu Miu!
Don’t you love the Rock/Punk trend for the summer? I adored MiuMiu SS11, it was surprising, had a certain hedge to it. The vibrant colors, strong cuts, abstract and tattoo vibe. Really interesting, different and attractive. Is it just me, or sometimes the girls really looked like Geishas?

Nothing beats a red lipstick!
You can wear a full black outfit and you’ll look gorgeous with that special spot of color! The only thing to keep in mind is to be discrete on your make up!
It’s a no no situation to go crazy on the eyes when wearing red lips. Remember that a good make up is the one you don’t notice… be happy when a friend tells you that you’re beautiful, don’t be when she tells you’re make up looks great.
Now let’s get to the point, what’s the best red lipstick? I have a few that are on my favorite list, such as:
Red Prodige – Clarins
Rouge Coco – Chanel
Cherry Lush – Tom Ford
Brave Red – Mac
Rouge Feu – YSL

After a short visit to Shangai Dior has decided that London should be the next stop. With an (London)Eye for great surroundings, and the perfect face of Marion Cotillard, Dior achieved yet another great billboard.
To me it seems as if Marion is trying to reveal a secret… her eyes, her body, it’s truly romantic. The colors of the add, and the way she is introducing the bag is so special, Lady Dior Lady Grey London is surely one to have!
Don’t you feel like visiting the Royal City after this?!

Want to purchase key peaces in an affordable way? The answer is within the man in the black shirt, the one whose laugh is so unforgeable and contaminating!
Yes… it’s the polite, gentleman, charismatic Michael Kors. I mean, I could actually live only wearing his clothes. Yes… it would be (a bit!) boring, but only because I love to mix and splash. But the truth is that he’s our friend girls! He gives us the pieces we need, the watches, glasses, purses… If I was to travel right now… I would certainly pack Kors style.
But let’s get to the point… Spring Summer… it’s such an amazing collection. I surely wish the sun would come up to wear it!
Chique, elegant, comfortable, colorful, resourceful, diversified, basically to die for!
Can you not imagine yourself on a hot sunny day looking your best wearing those dresses? What about that long green skirt?

Yesterday Jason Wu unveiled his makeup collaboration with the high-end Shiseido line Supreme Aupres. Last week in New York, he modeled two of the jewel-compacted eye shadows for ITG.
But the eye shadows first came onto the scene at Wu’s Spring 2011 show, where makeup artist Diane Kendal swept them into the corners of models’ eyes as a shimmery accent to the boldly hued lids she created. Wu says “I’m all about color, and they’re based on my clothing, they’re like the icing on the cake. These are dessert cosmetics!”

You know I’m a huge fan of Net-a-Porter, not only because it gives us the perfect excuse to buy on-line, but mostly for the info and quality of the productions. Well, as I was on my research I found the their new video, featuring Diane! And it’s quite true, she’s much more than a wrap dress!
Diane has the bigger goal of giving women flattering clothes, amazing colors, unique prints, outrageous accessories! How can you dislike her?
I must admit that one of my favorite boyfriend gifts was one clutch oh her past winter collection, so lovely and aggressive! He really got me with that one!
Her Spring Summer collection this year was amazing!
My favorite look was this one and the yellow mustard dress.
So fun and clean! Congrats Diane

Femme fatale or sweet and girly? Mysterious or innocent?
In the next Spring/Summer it’s entirely up to you. Whatever you choose is certainly valid! I’ll assure you I’m trying it all the next year!
She was the designer of one of my favourites collections from New York. She is, actually, celebrating 20 years of a successful career with the lunch of a biographical book.
The one who has given us the clothes that fits like no other, the only Donna Karan!
I must say her collection for Donna Karan wasn’t my favourite, to beige for my taste, however the DKNY was amazing!
I loved the way she used the scarf as the permanent element during the show! I’m so buying one of the skirts… the pants.
It’s just perfect for work, to a night out with your friends, for a date, the simple summer (yet incredible) collection.
Love Lolla
