It’s the end of sweet summer days under the Chinese sun, I am back for another season ! Talking of which, what are the trends to steal from the catwalks for this AW 2011/2012 season ? A lot of bright colours printed in block like Japanese art, but does this indicate the end of our LBD ? Absolutely not !

This summer I want sandals, sandals and mooooooore sandals ! Something to keep my toes happy and fresh, not suffocating away in the heat (however, I’ll grant you that we’ve seen more of what appears to be a month of Autumn). Nevermind, if the sun won’t come to me, I can be sure that my sandals will make me feel summery and bubbly until I finally fly off to the Caribbean for my fair share of sea, sun and se…. erm, seasonal entertainment. What sandals for which black dress ?

As a part 2 to the previous article on John Galliano, let’s take a look at the question that’s got the fashion realm begging for an answer since the arrival of the vacancy as artistic director for Dior : who will be next ?

The sunshine is out, beautiful days ahead of us, and Hollywood stars (and more) are pregnant up to their noses. Indeed, it’s quite a baby boom Spring we’re witnessing among the celeb circle… but also a black boom! The mums-to-be have all found a favourite LBD, understanding perfectly well that, when nothing in the closet can work for your changing body, the little black dress is a timeless flawless option. Flat tum or big bump, we all love our black dress. 

The royal couple Charlène Wittstock and Prince Albert II of Monaco we’ve been hearing so much about (now that Catherine and William have done their bit) will be exchanging vows in less than a month (curious peeps can check out the details on the official website >>>here<<<). We have done a little black dress analysis of the the princess-to-be of course..

Singer Rihanna is an undeniable fan of the timeless little black dress that she wears everywhere and for all occasions. Black mini dress with a rock edge or a long laid-back slit dress… Day dress or evening dress, the star does not tire of our favourite LBD. 

You loved Kung-Fu Panda ? Well we did too and now our big furry panda will be soon reappearing at the flicks,  the première of which was… glamorous ! Glamorous, a big fat panda? Yes, well, more like our Hollywood Brangelina couple
