Christopher Bailey does not disappoint...

the burberry autumn/ winter 2010 collection is fantastic and I'm so pleased to see that its even better than summer!

not only has he pulled off the best show of the LFW but he had one of the first live streaming shows in 3D which was broadcasted in Dubai, New York, Paris and Tokyo.. so he's also made some fashion history which is pretty  big news for the Burberry brand who are under-going a total revamp of their image and becoming a more modern brand and much more fashion forward...

It seems that the collection is heavily inspired by a sort of 'aviation' themed look with beautifully tailored trench coats (of course!) and parkas. The colours were musturdy yellows, pea greens, royal blues and pinky purples so there is a real wintery feel to the collection.

The collection has progressed so much from the spring summer 2010 collection with further development of texture and zips which were strong throughout the full s/s collection this year.  The collection has gorgeous feminine skirts and dresses layered with heavy outwear such as shearling coats and chunky belted boots so there is a real contrast there. Brillant!

Below are my favourite pieces from the collection...practically the FULL collection.. I'm totally in love with this brand ♥



the amazing designer that is Christopher Bailey...

on my birthday wishlist...

is the Mulberry Alexa Bag... either of these two would be lovely thanks!


i can dream...

as much as i hate to say it...

im really not enthused by the collections been shown so far in the autumn winter 2010 shows. everything seems so muted compared to spring which some might think is a good thing but im not so sure.

im hoping christopher bailey has something amazing to offer us after his amazing menswear collection for next seasons burberry prorsum....the menswear collection has a complete military feel with beautifully tailor trousers, fur lined lace up boots and bold trenches. it is such a strong statement for mens fashion and stands out from the usual collections that come down the runway for menswear. im loving the embellished shoulders and i wonder if thats gonna trickle on down to the high street - i wonder if any guys would dare to wear!








womenswear hasn't been all that bad though and im noticing a lot of gold on the run way.. i think the best for me so far have been PPQ and Mulberry. Both of these brands I totally love. PPQ's collection has a regal feel to it with their rich textures and strong metallics whereas Mulberry's collection has a good depth of pattern and rich tones...
