Queen VB!

It came to be that on a brutally cold New York morning, Victoria Beckham proved to us all once again why she is swiftly becoming one of London's most impressive exports.




While delivering a collection for AW 2014 that was at once familiar, elegant and exquisitely detailed.  There was also an obvious continued shift in the overall silhouette of her collections.




While monochrome spoke loudly throughout the show, there were bold dashes of colour (see the beautifully over sized dress above).   Abstract, bold prints were dotted throughout the collection adding interest and much needed relief to the sharply tailored collection.




The early days of corsetry and hourglass definition have been replaced with a more relaxed and edgy feel, much like the designer herself!

There is more fabric and more manipulation to each of the looks, an obvious continuation from her SS14 collection.  Gentle fabric folds at necklines, playful organza ruffles on hemlines and full sections of pleated silk, suggest that VB is well and truly designing for an edgy, relaxed and inspiring girl about town who knows who she is and what she wants. Just like the lady herself.




Look no 31(above) a floor length evening gown that combined pleating. fabric play and silhouette beautifully, was by far the strongest look from the collection and I hope that we get to see even more evening looks in her next collection.  As she could really become the QUEEN V of the Red Carpet.


Congratulations Victoria - we salute you!

George Graduate Collection The Casual Look

The 2nd look in the George Graduate collection video was a great look, but I wanted to show you how you can make that day time look feel a little smarter and perfect for a lunch with the girls.

In the video I had theses great G21 faded super skinny jean £14.00 on and they are super comfy and versatile so I would keep with the same jean and the same style of jumper!  But they have such great colours available that you really can take your pick of which acid bright you prefer!





This Ribbed shoulder jumper £16.00 in lime is a little shorter though the body, so would be great for you girls with a bigger bottom or thigh as it finishes higher up the body!


But if you prefer the longer style jumper then this Orange ribbed jumper £16.00 or the Yellow version of the same would be a better choice!



Then to Jazz the look up and make it more LUNCH than walk in the park!

I would add in this blue Formal coat £28.00 as the contrast in colour will pop beautifully with the acid tones of the knitwear.

Then swap the wedge trainer from the video to these super cute Lace up shoes £12.00, giving the look a preppy vibe.







To finish the look you need a larger bag like this Monochrome tote £14.00 to give the outfit that sensible feel.  (Not to mention that when holding a tote over our forearm forces the coat open slightly revealing a shock of that acid knitwear!)


I hope you like this alternative casual look.  All items are available at George at ASDA.
