Burberry's new flagship store, Regent Street, London

While in London last week I went to find this amazing store. About 2 weeks previously I was in London with my boyfriend, and we failed miserably to find it, looking in Bond Street instead of Regent. But I found it on the next visit. It is HUGE! I read in ELLE Decoration that it has 24  staircases! Ridiculous. But I was in awe. It really is a rabbit warren. You can go up and up and up, and there are assistants dressed in black carrying iPad's everywhere. Every space has a taupe sofa for the customers to recline on, matching the dark stained wood and pristine white, it truly is the height of luxury.
I've always been a fan of Burberry's sophistication. The macs are such an iconic piece, not just the fashion world, but every other world. Although I'm not too keen on the metallic pink, blue and yellow macs, seen in the last photo..

William Wegman + ACNE

Swedish brand ACNE have teamed up with William Wegman to showcase their new items. Wegman is well known for using his Wiemaraners to help exhibit various works. They create such a great back drop, that instantly adds character to the pieces the dogs are wearing.
These pictures are hilarious! They convey such humor without it obviously being funny. The expressions on the dogs faces add to this - boredom. As if they do it every day and its a chore.

Bauhaus and colours

Scanned in from Vogue
I love the simplicity of the primary colours. They make an outfit fun, yet still fashionable.
The colours make me thing of Kandinsky's art work because of the colours and simplicity of lines. I've have always liked the work of this artist. Its futuristic and takes a different stand to painting, than Monet etc, which means I find it much more interesting because its so atypical and crazy.

Marchesa Fall 2011 Collection

Marchesa is a brand specialising in high-end womanswear. Part of the couture collection, these Marchesa dresses from the Fal 2011 are some of my favourite designs. The deep reds and light beiges make this collection very romantic, and the lace adds to this. The red lace and chiffon full dress at the bottom is my favorite. The red is so lush in colour it seems almost like blood. This adds to the fact that I think the dresses are innocent and romantic, but the placing of lace is suductive and the blood red makes the dresses daring and dangerous.
