Tidy Whities

I'm not much of a girly girl when it comes to dressing, but I've always had a soft spot for broderie anglais and the odd crochet piece. These two dresses are new arrivals at the office, and I'm trying to decide which one to take home!

Rachel Gilbert SS12

I've always thought Rachel Gilbert's collections only comprised of sequins, silk and georgette., basically pretty frocks. That is, until I saw some of the range come into the office today - l Iove! The black asymmetric number needs to be in my wardrobe, stat.

Below are my favourites from the collection.

Lookbook: Karla Špetic SS11/12

I have no idea why, but after seeing Karla Špetic's Summer 11/12 lookbook, I've taken quite a liking into the collection, rightfully named "Porcelain". It didn't appeal to me as much seeing the runway shots during RAFW; perhaps it was because of the overload of collections.

Being as short as I am, I'm not entirely sure how well her skirts and shift dresses would sit on me, but I'm particularly loving her A-lined halter tops - they're reminiscent of what my Mum wore back in the day and exactly what I'd like to be wearing with soft linen bottoms all throughout summer.

Sneak Peek: Stella McCartney SS '12

Stella McCartney's Spring/Summer '12 collection. I wasn't sure how she was going to top her previous delightful citrus-infused range, but she somehow did. So, so beautiful.. and how miraculously well done is the Hawaiian print transformation - very chic. 

I'm seeing a recurring trend in collections; a lot of symmetry through the mirror-imaging of patterns and images, and I really like love it. 

On a more sombre note, I'm currently trying to study for my final exams, which start in two days. Eeeek..
