You're never gonna be somebody else, you're never gonna see until you see yourself

I don't usually write about the big big big names, but Chanel's resort collection 2010 is gorgeous. I was reading an interview with Lily Allen today and that pointed me in Chanel's direction. It's all very nautical and the classic navy & cream of Chanel is very present. To me I think that's great, that they're sticking with their arena (probably the wrong word, i don't know). The blazer and trouser combo is gorgeous and I love the whole nautical theme which is throughout all resort collections I've seen. Oh and the cape and swimsuit look really reminds me of the Volturi in Twilight; New Moon. Haha.

I heard for sure last night,

I'm kind of disappointed, I've been looking, searching, scouring the internet for editorials from UniQlo's new womenswear ranges, but to no avail. I got some jeans from there today and was seriously impressed with the fact that they will tailor them to fit, which is great for me, seeing as my legs are rather long. I was going to sing their praises, yet all I can find is menswear, which is equally great, but not an interest of mine. All I can say is, Mr Yanai, owner of UniQlo, I am upset. (probably doesn't care though)

If anyone knows of anywhere I can see their new lines in editorial, I would be very thankful.

Here's some pictures of menswear though,

I've been loving gingham prints for some time now, but Christopher Kane's Spring/Summer '10 collection really brings together the girlish/punk aspect of the pattern. I know that sounds weird, and you might not agree with me on this. The laptop I'm using is about to die, so I'll just upload some outfits and leave this for your comments.

I've only just begun to know you

I'm feeling so uninspired by everything at the moment, but this designer has rather cheered me up. It's a label called ANT!PODiUM , and its different, no real pastels and I just want to wear all of it, which is a feeling I don't often get with a collection. The 'dreamtime' pink dress is so fresh, yet edgy I love it. If you've read some of my other posts you may realise I've got a small obsession with blazer jackets, and the 'hot under the scholar' blazer is no exception to my obsession, it looks preppy, but punk at the same time. I think that's what I like about this collection, it takes two opposite ideas and combines them in the pieces. I have a similar feeling for the 'hook up' shirt dress, shirt dresses were so huge last year, where I was living anyway, but this looks so different to those I've seen previously. Looks more like wool to me, maybe it is? I can't really tell, what do you think, or do you know?

Final thought, do you not just love the shoes, the structure and shapes are simply cool. In addition, ANT!PODiUM sell in the UK, Ireland, USA, Hong Kong, Japan, Australia & New Zealand, so you're going to be close to one (probably/maybe) wherever you are

They been waiting patiently for Pinnochio to poke his nose

Louise Gray is a budding designer who plays with bright colours and interesting textures. Her contrasts are very interesting, yet again another designer using pastels in their new collections, but they don't feel very pastel, those colours are almost undertones to highlight the shape rather than to just be a colour. Her use of different patterns against each other is fabulous, it could quite easily have looked disastrous contrasting zig zags with polka dots, but the dress looks great. If I'm going to be honest, I'm not such a fan of blue television-esque t-shirt, but I love love love the trousers with it. The shape is great, incredibly flattering, as is the material used. It has an almost iridescent quality, the up turned cuff completes the look. Although the sleeved pastel blue dress is not quite ready-to-wear I could imagine a part of it being worn on the streets, I don't quite understand the pattern, but that's why its on here. The contrast of the red on blue is pretty though, although I'm sure I've heard "Red & Blue should never be seen", ah well.

Oh & the playsuit, I love. The texture, the colour, the pockets, the matched bikini and lining, just lovely.

What do you think?

I don't know who the photographer is, but I think the pictures are great in addition to the makeup

I've got to say, I love LP.BG, acronym of the designers Lily Parker & Ben Grimes, their S/S '10 collection is so fresh, generally clean lines and pretty. They've combined the idea of pastels, but the overall feel of the collection is more sporty ready-to-wear, than the floating pastels which I've seen in other collections. Personally, I really like this difference. The blue cat dress in cotton sateen is gorgeous, in these heels it looks like it could have stepped right out of an Alice in Wonderland tea party. The Sophie Dress Almond with Orange Waistband initially looks so simple, but on a second glance you can see the sheer cut outs, giving a new assymetric shape to the dress. There's a similar feel to the shorts and vest look, with the contrast pockets on the shorts and the semi-sheer at the front and sides of the vest.

I love this model's hair aswell, I've said this before about the "wavy gravy" look, but if anyone knows how to get curly hair to have a nice fringe without straightening/relaxing it, I'd love to know,

Heyy, just a quick one, I've changed the layout of my blog, do you like it or did you prefer it the way it was? Let me know,

Here's a preview of what I'll be blogging about soon, LP.BG
