Coffee table books

I love reading and books and can spend hours in libraries and bookstores. Combine fashion and book and I'm at my most excited. Coffee table books are not only very inspiring and educating, they look great too. There are quite a few coming out this year including Emilio Pucci - due out 25th July.
Here are few suggestions that I believe every fashion fanatic should own, including my favourite Tom Ford - Ten years, showing his years at Gucci and YSL - I'm obsessed!
Have a good day.

Meadham Kirchoff for Topshop

Benjamin Kirchoff and Edward Meadham have been doing well since graduating from Central Saint Martin's. Their label Meadham Kirchoff is the go-to for original cool pieces and they have been getting praise from all fashion insiders. It is then no surprise, that they are coming up with a special collection for Topshop. It will mainly consist of edgy tees and dresses with their signature style. I'm thinking we're definitely in for a treat. Check it out instore or online at Topshop.com. This is a high street collaboration not to be missed.

Prabal Gurung

If you liked the dress Olivia Palermo wore in yesterday's post, you're in for a treat. Because I can reveal that this particular dress is by Singapore born designer Prabal Gurung. He hasn't been on the fashion scene for a long time, having launched his own label during New York Fashion Week in february 2009, but he has been already causing a stir, collecting praise and fans all over the world.
This talented man studied fashion at New Delhi's National Institue of Fashion Technology before moving to New York, where he was interning for Donna Karan, whilst studying at Parsons School of Design. There he won Best Designer competition. Then he was working for Bill Blass for five years before starting his own label.
In March this year he was nominated for CFDA Swarowski Womenswear Award and you can see why he's so popular. His collections are full of beautiful dresses with intricate detailing and other pieces with edgy twist. I love it all! Here is few pictures from SS'10 collection.
Have a nice day.

Olivia Palermo @ Vogue.co.uk

What a great way to finish a month of showing us her outfits. Timless, classic, elegant, things that always win for me. Olivia proves again and again that she is a real style icon. To me anyway. It's been a great month watching her style choices. Hope you enjoyed my top picks.
Have a stylish day.

Zara - my favourite high street shop

I wear a lot of black. But as soon as the sun starts coming out, I switch to lighter colours. I wear lot of whites and nudes. Nude is THE colour of this season. All the shades from toffee, to caramel and beyond. I saw this shop-window in Zara Covent Garden and it made me smile. I love the colours and the clothes! The summer is coming and you can feel it all around.
Have a stylish day.

high street find of the week

As I mentioned few days ago, denim is HUGE this season. And it's a timeless fabric, because it never really goes out of fashion. So it's worth buying some pieces. I found this super cute playsuit in H&M, that is so easy to dress up or down. I've become a big big fan of H&M and they seem to be getting better by the day. This lovely little number is worth every penny, because it will see you through the summer and beyond. Just add some chunky boots and a straw hat for some festival chic or wedge sandals and a statement jewellery for a hot summer evening. Sorted.
Have a nice day.

Olivia Palermo @ Vogue.co.uk

My pick from last seven days is one day early this time, but I'm already loving two outfits, so don't wanna wait any longer. Plus it's nearly the end of the month, meaning Olivia's blog is about to end. To me, she is real style inspiration and I advise you to check out all of her outfit in Today I'm wearing at Vogue.co.uk. I love how both outfits look smart yet casual. She always carries an amazing handbag and accessories. I envy quite a few of her statement necklaces.. The khaki parka is bang on trend right now and is perfect for layering. Well done again!
Have a stylish day.
