It'll be all white on the night was the feeling from the Dolce and Gabbana Show shown earlier tonight as models took to the catwalk in a predominately sexy white collection.
The majority of pieces were sumptuously innocent, a collection of dresses, corsetry, maxi-skirts and baby-dolls, in beautiful chiffon, stretch brocade, macramé, crochet, feather-light linen, and muslin.
If the D&G collection earlier this week undelined how key florals would be in Spring/Summer 2010 then the Dolce and Gabbana show lets us know how important innocence and lace will be, I suppose you could compare one to the flower girl and the other to being the bride, both beautiful in their own way but the bride clearly outshines everyone else.. and rightly so.
I'm a lover of beautiful shoes, rockin dresses & spicy food. I'm a cook. Book junkie. Music lover & dancefloor enthusiast. Pop culture junkie. And I'm forever learning.

Milan Fashion Week: Spring / Summer Collection 2011 showcasing Moschino Cheap & Chic
The chic, more affordable little sister of Moschino showed it's collection yesterday. It was playful, pretty and fun with lots of bold colour contrasts, quirkey details and great separates. My initial thoughts were that I didn't get it but then when I looked at all the pieces individually it made sense.
I love this floral dress, it will flatter all shapes, the combination of colours won't wash anyone out and the quirkey gingham sandals add a fun twist to the overall outfit, although I'm not crazy about the brown strap. Accessory-wise I think these big chunky statement pieces make what could be just another dress a stand-out.
This is my favourite look, it makes me think of bumble bees but that's to bee expected.. All these pieces are sexy as hell and would work in numerous other combinations. While yellow and black played a bit part of the collection I feel this is the best example of how well they can work together. This outfit has such a retro feel but the great accessories keep it bang up to date. LOVE IT!
Initially this look made me think of Chanel, sherbet and grannies but on further assessment I think it's great. The embellishments on the jacket are cute and cheeky while the overall look is playful and fun. Again the sandals add an extra element of frivilty to the look, keeping it light and breezy with a fashion forward edge.
This gingham dress makes me long for the summer. The flower embellishments, what I first thought were a bit of a foible, are in-fact a fantastic undertated addition to the dress. This is just a great outfit.
I'm torn on this look, I should love it as it ticks so many boxes for me. Colour-wise the dress is spot on, the voluminous frilled end is totally me and normally I'd bite someone's hand off to get that statement necklace but I just don't think it works. The dress doesn't seem to sit well, the necklace is the wrong colour and I just don;t think the sandals work with the rest of the outfit. Thumbs down..I do love the headband though.

Milan Fashion Week: Spring / Summer Collection 2011 showcasing Krizia.
Big, bright and bold was the order of the day at Krizia at Milan Fashion Week, where Mariuccia Mandelli went after clean lines and volume.
I've rated and slated 5 looks...
I love this look, I mean I really love this look. How great does the plum and gold work together, even though the gold/yellow is a sequinned boob tube. The thin belt and statement ring make this my dream outfit minus the weird earrings.
Overall I rate this show as a 5/10.

I love this romantic, sheer look.. it's as if this outfit is made entirely from dyed tissue paper but in a good way... This outfit makes me thing of young love and summer days.
I'm slating this look, the only person this dress/coat would suit is this the model in this picture. Any mere mortal who tries this on will look frumpy and washed out.. The snake print shoe boots rock but don't make up for the wind funnel dress.. No thank you!
While the look on the right may be quite Grecian and sexy the model on the left appears to actually be wearing a white bin bag, a look I've never been a off.. As everyone knows white patterned tights make everyone's legs look thin, er not so keep them away from me and everyone else who aint a size zero.
Overall I rate this show as a 5/10.
