Hampton Court flower show

Yesterday I was in my element when I took a trip to the Hampton Court flower show. This is what I saw & the sun even came out!

AW12 Paris Couture

The Paris couture shows surprised me a little this season. There was a shift from the usual extravagance & trickery to a more pared down & dare I say wearable theme. 


Here are some of my favourites...


Elegance at Alexis Mabille...

Ethereal colour at Armani Privé...

Classic simplicity at Bouchra Jarrar...

Raf Simons stunning début at Dior...

A sense of frivolity at Giambattista Valli...

A nod to Art Deco at Jean Paul Gaultier...

Amazing depth of colour & moodiness at Valentino...
