This weekend, I wish I could look this good on the dance floor....
What have you got planned for the weekend?

Lanvin Fall 2011, starring Karen Elson and Raquel Zimmermann.
Better get practicing my moves! Also, apologies for the lack of posts over the last week, I am busy interning at the moment, and am graduating next week (scary stuff!) Will try and get back to more regular posting once I've caught up on some sleep.

Paris Fashion Week was well worth the wait and there were so many collections which really stood out. Needless to say, I found it very tricky to narrow it down to my five favourites, so as well as the collections I've chosen, honourable mentions must go to Riccardo Tisci's walk on the wild side at Givenchy and Stella's re-invention of spots and shoulders. Here are my top five from Paris:
1) Valentino
5) Alexander McQueen
1) Valentino
Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli's presentation for Valentino was charming. With romantic maxi dresses, pleats and beautiful embellishments, this collection channelled understated elegance and femininity. The main thing I really admired about the designs shown here was how accessible they felt; even if you haven't got the budget to afford Valentino (who has?), the shapes and colours of this collection provide a slice of inspiration which I'm sure will filter down to the high street for next season. I can't wait!
2) Cacharel
The Cacharel presentation was clean, fresh and felt really modern. The prints are amazing (I especially love the way the white print pops against the navy blue) and the crisp white on show here looks like a massive trend in the making.
3) Lanvin
Alber Elbaz delivered yet another lovely collection for Lanvin, complete with his now trademark asymmetric floor length gowns and bold colours. His use of floral print somehow feels really fresh, and I really like the way the motif has been used throughout the collection.
4) Carven
The designs which Guillame Henry created for Carven were cute, feminine and sophisticated. Once again, pleats made an appearance, as did the cute collars which have become synonymous with the Carven label.
5) Alexander McQueen
Paris wouldn't be Paris without the anticipation of a McQueen show. Sarah Burton's latest creations for the label are breathtaking and I really admire the way that she is developing the signature aesthetic created by Lee McQueen. As ever, the collection featured beautifully engineered dresses, elaborate detail and a sense of character which is quintessentially McQueen.
So that's it until September when the SS12 presentations kick off!
What were your favourite collections from Paris? Do you agree with my picks?

The world really is going crazy for Lanvin for H&M! Today H&M released the first images of the whole collection, and lookbook shots of the pieces, as modelled by Irina Lazareanu. In case you haven't seen the pictures yet, here are my picks:
The dresses are divine, and I really love the graphic print t-shirts- they really seem to capture the quirky vibe of the whole collection and advertising campaign that we've seen so far. From what I've heard, the dresses will be retailing at around the £99 mark, a tad pricey, but justifiable if you've got a special event coming up (or are still in the habit of writing letters to Father Christmas!) One of the items I'll definitely be trying to pick up are the sunglasses- at £14.99 for a slice of Alber Elbaz' genius, you can't really go wrong.
What are your thoughts on the Lanvin for H&M collection? Are there any pieces you're desperate to snap up?

Following on from my previous post, here's the second look at Lanvin for H&M which popped up online earlier today:
Expect more of the advertising campaign, shot by David Sims and starring Natasha Poly and Hannelore Knuts to be popping up over the coming weeks as the anticipation for the collection builds. Is it quite sad that I'm as much obsessed with the shopping bags as I am with the clothes?

Today were were given a tiny glimpse of what to look forward to from the Lanvin/H&M collaboration:
I looks as though Alber Elbaz is striving to incorporate as many Lanvin hallmarks into the collection as possible; gorgeous one shouldered dresses, tailored jackets and super cool styling. The full collection will be unveiled in two weeks, on November 2nd, before landing in stores November 23rd. If this first promotional image is anything to go by, the collection is sure to be H&M's most sought after designer collaboration yet.
Do you like what you've seen of Lanvin for H&M so far? Are you excited to see the full collection?

In the unlikely event that you haven't heard who H&M are working with on their latest designer collaboration:
Alber Elbaz is bringing a little bit of the Lanvin magic to the high street! The collection (which will include both menswear and womenswear) officially launches on the 23rd November, but will be revealed to the world on the 2nd November, exactly two months from today. I for one can't wait to see what Elbaz comes up with, as I've always admired his work and Lanvin has always been a firm favourite of mine. I've got a feeling that this collection is going to be extremely popular, so get sharpening those elbows!
Are you looking forward to Lanvin for H&M? And who would you love to see design for the high street?
