Betty's bac!

The 3rd series of one of my fav tv shows, Ugly Betty is back on tv here in the uk! Yay! Is it just me or is Betty's wordrobe actually pretty stylish? Cause i am loving her bright socks and contrasting shoes!

Graduate Fashion Week

As we all know, Graduate Fashion Week 2009 was not that long ago. The shows were filled with glitter, paper-thin fabrics thats even cut like chinese paper art, tassles, and an assortment of colours. The celebs who appeared were Claudia Schiffer, Zandra Rhodes, Matthew Williamson etc. The winner of the River Island Gold Award was Myrto Samou for her elegant collection designed in neutral tones. I plucked some outfits which I find very pretty: Katie Hemingway, Stephanie Bell, Tamara Stevens.

Red vs Blue

I probably should be talking about next season's trends now, but one more thing... I am absoulutely loving the colour scheme at Gucci for the current season. Red marrying blue! How fabulous. The tailoring's pretty good too.

Back to black

Since the first LBD was designed by genius madam Chanel, LBDs have been a must have garment in most designers' collections. Ever since then, black has been the most classy colour for women to wear. But I actually personally dont like wearing black much(my old school uniform annoyed me very much).

I had to do a project on LBDs lately and found that there's actually quite alot you can do with black dresses even though my dress did turn out slightly on the -there-a-safety-pin-still-sticking-out-the-back- side. If the little black dress has beautiful elements on it then it will be beautiful.

On the catwalks this season, there are many gorgeous LBDs. The main silhouettes I saw were feminine and clean. There's much light, floaty, shiny and lacy fabrics. Surface decorations are beautiful and just the right amount. There is also ruffles which of course is a bonus. The romantic goth trend seemed to have been toned down a little bit though. For modern little black dresses, check out Alexander Wang, Marios Schwab, Erin Fetherston, Stella McCartney and for drama there's Gareth Pugh! I have selected a few of my favourite LBDs: Marc Jacobs, Stella McCartney and Erin Fetherston which are in the pictures above.

Newbie note
