Christine Centenera Pt 4 - Aussie Aussie Aussie! The day CC (me) saw CC (Christine Centenera) outside CC (Coco Chanel) Couture show during Paris Couture Week

I know I am months behind with this post.  I cannot believe NYFW is already almost over and I haven't even posted a single photo of Paris Couture week!  I still haven't reacquired Photoshop, so I just 'shrank' my photos on iPhoto, better late than never, right?

I thought I'd start with the second day of Paris Couture week, which started with the Chanel Couture show at the Grand Palais.  Seeing fashionistas and Fashion Editors I had only seen in magazines and online previously in the flesh, was like seeing my 'rock stars', I was 'fashion struck', haha.  Mr Brigs was with me, and when Christine Centenera came out, I asked him: Oh my goodness, do you know who that was?  I was referring to the fact that we had chatted to her brother and sister-in-law at a friend's wedding not too long ago, but he said: "yeah! That girl from the Les Mis movie!" (he was referring to Samantha Banks as Eponine, hahaha!)

Anyway, how gorgeous is Christine's Burberry Prorsum coat, and gorgeous outfit under it? The simple white tee, the beautifully cut and detailed leather skirt, and those heels!

More pics of Paris Couture week to come, so watch this space...

London Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2013 Pt 2: Burberry Prorsum

Argh! Someone please tell Mr Blogger that the 'new blogspot' is driving me nuts! I hate not being able to upload several pictures at once, I hate not being able to drag my pics to resize them, that the spacing and placing of pictures seems to be off, etc etc...

Anyway, onto Christopher's latest collection for Burberry Prorsum...At first glance I had my eyebrows tightly knitted, but after a few proper looks I saw several gorgeous pieces.  The metallic pieces had me going: noooooooooooooo, but the lace trenchcoats, were a big yes! And that gorgeous brown leather jacket worn by Cara Delevigne too (although I would look ridiculous in it).  For some reason a lot of this collection reminded me of Versace? Hm...

London Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2012 Pt 2: Burberry Prorsum

Burberry Prorsum

Burberry Prorsum's is pretty much the collection I most look forward to seeing at London Fashion Week, and Christopher Bailey certainly did not disappoint.

I am always a fan of a nipped-in waist, as well as cute bow belts (I have four in my wardrobe). The peplum was present once again, sometimes with some oversized/bulky pockets (which in certain cases I would find hard to wear). Loved the tweed, loved the tailoring and silhouettes, , the cropped puffa jackets, the colourful striped pieces, the shearling lining and and waxed parkas. I truly loved the outerwear (of course), especially the draped coat, and the finale coat worn by Cara Delevigne. The pencil skirt was a key piece, and featured a big diagonal ruffle, which softened the silhouette. I absolutely loved the cute sparrows, owls and doggies embroidered, printed or appliquéd onto oversize tees or sweatshirts! I even want a striped 'brolly' now:
