Catwalk Catchup: MFW Missoni Spring/Summer 2012

Really loved the background at Missoni. For all other collections it would almost be distracting but in Missoni's case, it worked with the collection, playing to the crazy mishmash anything goes theme that Missoni perfected so well recently. The clothes on the runway were floaty and girly, with some billowing summer maxi dresses thrown in for good measure. 

It would take a fashionista with confidence and a love of colour to pull off these designs on a daily basis, but that's pretty much what the classic Missoni wearer is, wouldn't you agree? The beachwear has also gone down very well with us too - they almost compete with the sun in brightness. We can bet we aren't the only ones who want to see this collection translated into another collaboration with Target, seeing as the current one has been so popular! All hail Angela Missoni - another flawless collection.

Daily Style Crush: Sonam Kapoor in Prabal Gurung

I LOVE this look from the Prabal Gurung Resort 2012 collection and have been waiting (and praying) for a well-known face to step out in it! I've been curious to see where, when and how it will be worn and of course, by whom. Gorgeous Indian actress Sonam Kapoor wasn't the first on my list of expected stars, but I'm thrilled she decided to wear it to the Mausam premiere in Mumbai. I kind of anticipated someone taller with a super-model's figure to wear it, to give it its full potential height-wise and silhouette-wise but strangely enough, Sonam works it pretty flawlessly! The colours are beautiful on her, so hopefully this will give her a boost to step onto the red carpet in brighter, more daring numbers, because she can definitely pull it off if this outing is anything to go by.

Catwalk Catchup: MFW Prada Spring/Summer 2012

We loved this season's Prada SpringSummer 2012 collection at Milan Fashion Week. The skirts were a definite highlight; not so much the barely there bandeau tops because we don't think we have the elongated, never-ending upper body and washboard stomach to pull them off ourselves. Obviously on the models they look perfect, but if we're talking about a wearable collection, this is definitely it if you concentrate all of your attention on the bottom half.

This collection was pleats a-plenty, which although is a mouthful to say, is beautiful to look at. The day dresses were also pretty impressive too - perfect for sitting outside sipping Italian coffee waiting for your hot Italian boyfriend to bring the Vespa round and whisk you away on a scenic tour of Milan….No? Just us? A girl can dream.

See The Brand New Steamy Michael Kors Ads

Here's a nice post for you ladies. Not that you will be reading this…why would you when you have the above pictures to stare at? So we will stop typing away because we can almost guarantee that these words will go unnoticed. We hope you enjoy the pictures, but if anyone DOES care, these pics are to promote the new Michael Kors men's underwear. Fairly obvious but we just thought we'd mention it, to add purpose to the post. Not that we need a reason to post pictures of hot men on a Friday afternoon, but nevertheless...

Gisele Bundchen Shows Women How to Bear Bad News

This is a different approach to promoting lingerie. Gisele Bundchen shows women the best way to effectively bear bad news…by stripping down to their intimates. We think she could get away with just about anything, don't you? We know that probably less than 1% of the population will look as good as/better than Gisele in underwear, but we think this is definitely one to try in the future.

Probably not the best way to get you out of a parking ticket mind, but easily one to try if you accidentally break the boyfriend's X-Box or delete his high score. This steamy video is to promote Hope lingerie and not just another excuse for Gisele to flaunt her goddess-like body; although if we had her body, we'd never wear clothes again!

Lara Stone Covers Vogue Japan November

November covers already? Don't say we don't spoil you! Lara Stone brightens up the cover of Vogue Japan in some gorgeous Givenchy attire. Dress to impress? Lara Stone pretty much has that sorted, then.

Catwalk Catchup: MFW D&G Spring/Summer 2012

We knew this day would come, although we didn't expect it would come quite so soon. We're talking about D&G's last ever catwalk outing. Sniff! Pass the tissues please!

It was announced earlier this year that D&G will be merged with the main Dolce and Gabbana line, meaning the Spring/Summer 2012 catwalk outing in Milan would be the last. Hopefully this will make Dolce and Gabbana even stronger and better than it already is.

Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana made sure the last collection would be one to remember and the show went out with one hell of a bang. We loved everything from the bright satin wedges to the cute and colourful strapless mini and maxi dresses to the patch-work, busy prints and everything else inbetween. Plus, who knew you could do so much with a silk scarf? Outstanding! 

The collection was a big one, but there will still be a D&G shaped hole in our hearts and our wardrobes when we notice its absence next season. Here's to a truly brilliant brand that's been keeping us stylish since 1994 - and here's to a revamped and even better Dolce and Gabbana main line! 

Emily Blunt Announced As New Face Of YSL Opium

Congrats to the gorgeous Emily Blunt, as she's just been named the brand new face of Yves Saint Laurent's Opium fragrance. We always get a nice, warm fuzzy feeling of pride when a fellow Brit is snapped up for a huge project.

We do however, know that posing for YSL's Opium hardly ever comes without its fair share of controversy. Remember the infamous Sophie Dahl advert way back in 2000 where the the naked image of her was branded too provocative? And more recently, the Melanie Thierry commercial which got accused of glamourising and promoting the use of ecstasy?

According to WWD, Emily Blunt has already shot the campaigns which were photographed by Romain Gavras and Patrick Demarchelier and apparently she wasn't the only one in the pictures, oh no. A leopard allegedly stars in some of the shots with her which already has us very curious indeed. We should catch a first glimpse of them soon as they're set to land in October.

Christian Louboutin Gets His Own Book

This post has been lurking around i our drafts for about a week and for that, we apologise because news like this deserves to be shouted from the rooftops. Christian Louboutin is launching his first ever book to coincide with the brand's 20th anniversary. The coffee table book will contain in-depth interviews, candid personal photos and professional photography of Louboutin's iconic shoes by the talented Philippe Garcia. As if that wasn't enough, the designer has also snapped up Dita von Teese, Kristin Scott-Thomas and Mika to contribute to his latest project. Hands up if you're excited…

Daily Style Crush: Beyonce in Roberto Cavalli

There's definitely no sign of Beyonce slowing down even though she currently has a little person growing inside of her. We didn't really expect Ms Knowles to step out in the loose trackies as soon as she revealed her pregnancy to the world though, but we do hope she takes a good rest in the later stages. Beyonce stunned the crowd in New York last night as she launched her brand new perfume 'Pulse' in a mega-mii Roberto Cavalli tunic and jacket. Loving the side plait as well; so chic!
