Fashion… Hit and Miss

This month’s collaboration is about the catwalk hits and misses of the season…

To be precise… something I love and something I don’t.

What’s not to love about this fashion for oversized coats… elegant, flattering and cosy to wrap up in… especially this delicious blush pink from Céline…

I mighty style it differently… no offence Phoebe Philo… but I think it’s a beautiful piece that deserves a little more glamour… and at least one of Céline’s more ravishing bags to accessorise…)

 

Celine Fall 2013

 

In contrast, this heavily patterned damask style number from Alexander Mc Queen is way down on my list of top hits…

Curtains and cushions come to mind… maybe they had a Sound of Music ‘moment’… think Julie Andrews dressing her Von-Trapps kind of feeling…
