Versace and Versus Spring/Summer 2013

As always, I was completely blown away by Versace and Versus new collections. 

I am going to point out a few of favourite pieces but to see all the Versace pieces head to their Facebook page and for the Versus pieces check out their page.

Versace Spring/Summer 2013

Lots of classic Versace pieces with some cool new twists. Lots of black, orange and blue. Lots of details and embellishments and very sexy silhouettes. 

Simple, classic, orange. I love.

A lot of the pieces featured this unusual lace/mesh type fabric. I enjoy the fun of it and the detail that it adds to something simple, like the jacket. 

Short, sassy, sexy. Very Versace but with a fun twist. Love. 

Of course there were lots of show stopping gowns which I see gracing many red carpets. This is a stunner... Love the colour. 

Versus Spring/Summer 2013

Lots of boldcolour and prints and easy to wear pieces. The younger, funkier sister of Versace. 

Pink, super short, sassy. Very classic Versace shape. 

I love the colours and the print. Bright and bold! Easy to wear. Imagine that top with a pair of skinny jeans and killer heels? Also, awesome bag!

Check out the linked chain on the hem... this crops up a lot in this collection and is quite subtle. Have a look at the shoes... And the bag in the previous shot. How awesome is this? So funky and fresh!

Cute, funky, fun and colourful. Lots of love!

Just a quick bit of Versace love

The Versace Couture show was AMAZING and summed up everything I love about the brand: colour, drama and sex appeal.

Check out some of my faves below.

God Bless Versace!

My Versace for H&M dresses

I love Versace more than any other brand and I like to talk about their clothes. Of course I was ridiculously excited about their collaboration with H&M but even I was not willing to queue up overnight and get into territory wars with strangers to buy some a few dresses. 

Instead I tried my luck online and after numerous page refreshes and many hours I managed to get through and buy a dress, I checked back a few days later and they still had some bits available so I bought a second dress. 

Luckily my parents are paying for one and it is being wrapped up and placed under the christmas tree so I haven't had to fork out a small fortune in one go. 

Obviously once I tried these dresses on I realised I had no accessories that matched (well that's what I'm telling myself) so I think I'll need to go shopping and buy a pair of gorgeous shoe boots and perhaps and gold clutch. 

I love shopping...

Lady Gaga in Versace

When Lady Gaga announced a few months ago she would only be wearing Vintage Versace (meaning Gianni) for 2 months I became more than a little excited. These are the clothes, more specially prints, that made me love fashion. Of course, these looks are obviously old fashioned now but at the time, amazingness. Fresh, new, bright, colourful and bold. I think Lady Gaga was extravagent as always but remained true to Gianni's vision.

Recently though she has been spotted in some Donatella creations that are just flawless. I never thought I'd feature Gaga on my blog as I find her fashion stunts irritating but I have to say when she stepped out in these Versace pieces she did the only shocking thing left: look simple and gorgeous.

These three pieces were pure perfection for me and show how amazing Versace is. Simplicity is the key to Donatella's designs, they are not overly complicated but they are still beautiful. Simple accessories are all that are needed and Gaga's relaxed hair and make up are perfect. I even love the diva night-time sunglasses with these looks, Versace is high class so whoever wears it should embrace that to it's fullest. 

My favourite look had to be the beautiful black dress with yellow and purple flower design, just so effortlessly stunning. She even pulls off black pumps to perfection (black are becoming a something of pet peeve when you see all the beautiful shoes on offer) but I suppose you can't go wrong with a Versace/Louboutin combination.

To quote Rachel Zoe... I die!

I know this is just as much a stunt as her meat dress was and caused just as many headlines but I still love it. If she continued dressing like this I'd be a much bigger fan.

Project 365 - Day 280 (18/11/10)

Day 280: Super relaxed. Jeans, t-shirt , cardi and pendant necklace. My beloved Versace cardigan which has been featured a few times, so warm and cosy, it is LOVE! 

Much love
