VENEZIA - BELLA BELLA!

I'M BAAAAACK!

Feels amazing to be back involved in the blogosphere again - is that weird? I've been completely plugged out since I went on holiday and although I tried to keep up with a few shows from NYFW and LFW, got to be honest and admit that most of them passed me by whist I was stewing in wine and olive oil!

Definitely be reviewing Topshop Unique, Chris Kane and Meadham Kirchhoff, but for now here's a few billion snaps from my trip :)

IN LOVE WITH ETRO

It's official - Italy has taken over my brain!

With only 2 weeks to go before I jet off to Venice, I'm constantly finding myself googling gondolas, planning days out to Verona and Lake Garda, fantasising about bagging myself a bargain at all the flea markets and generally living in a wondrous Italian bubble! BELLA, BELLA!

Sorry, am I making you sick?! Aaaaaanyway I've also recently been perusing the Italian big dogs on Net a Porter for some sartorial inspiration and guess what? I LOVE ETRO!

Known for their bright patterns, bold colours and sleek tailoring, these lovelies are pressing a particular button with me right now. I'd love a few fabo dresses for taking away with me but sadly they range from £800 to over £2,000! Guess I'll have to make do with some vintage imposters instead.

Literally dreaming about this coat...

Belissimo!

Oh, and in OTHER Itallian-themed news, my friend David Vallance's graduate collection (which I talked about here) is featured in the September issue of Itallian Vogue - grab it if you can!
