Erdemtastic..

Some more of my favourite looks from London Fashion Week AW12.

I always find Erdem's collections intriguing, I find myself coveting looks that I would never usually be inspired by.  Last season he had me feeling dreamy and girly and actually wanting to dress in floaty feminine water colour prints (a look that if you know me, is the polar opposite of my day to day style).  But this Autumn Winter collection was much more edgy and sexy with LATEX... yes I said latex being combined with lace and prints to take traditional fabrics and giving them a modern day woman twist..

This dress has such vibrancy that it was instantly a standout for me.  The choice of colour as a contrast to the lace and latex gave it sass and instant sexy-ness without revealing too much flesh!

This dress to me screamed KATE MIDDLETON.....  WEAR me!  It would look fab on her for any of her many formal events but  is also one of those dresses that us non royal women can covert for that perfect dinner out or wedding guest outfit!

This last look that I wanted to share with you is probably the best example of why I love Erdem and his use of prints.  Here a head to toe floral print looks, sleek, sexy and OH so wearable...  Looking at this outfit I want to be a size smaller with less of a bust so that I can rock this outfit for meetings with a blazer, or for casual with a cute cashmere jumper on top (with just the collar peeking out of the neckline).

Mulberry's show made me want to skip summer and snuggle up in their collection.

So the whirlwind that is London Fashion week is coming to a close and I thought I would share with you over the next few days some of the pieces and shows that I just can't get out of my head!

I am a massive fan of Mulberry and find myself coveting most of the collection time and time again and this season is no different.  The textures and layering looked effortlessly thrown together, although some of the layers are a little on the chancy side for a curvy girl like myself I still found myself drawn to the Aztec Zig Zags and Inuit style fur layering.  But the stand out pieces were the shocks of tangerine that lifted the chancy furs and flashes of metallic that took those cosy winter looks into something much more luxurious.

The contrast of textures in this look made it a real stand out...

The vibrancy of this dress just sings and when contrasted with the furs you can seeing it being a big feature in many an editorial spread...

This is the look that is most transferable to my lifestyle and one that I will be recreating with my current AW clothes as it looks so effortless.

Also keep your eyes peeled for the new Del Ray bag which is out in May.. It looks rather special...
