I am yet to discover this! I am packing for my cousin's wedding in Cyprus and I always pack too much, yet knowing this I am still trying to squeeze things into my case and find a way to make things fit instead of trying to narrow down my holiday wardrobe. Then after all that, and my case practically containing everything but the kitchen sink, I usually get there and discover I have forgotten something. Surely I am not the only who does this? There has to be a solution that makes packing easier and a tad less stressful. If anyone has the answer to this, and knows the art of packing, please feel free to share it would be greatly appreciated. :)

Just to tease us a little bit more this shot from Lanvin for H&M's highly anticipated collection has just been leaked. I am loving the little black ruffle number worn by Natasha Poly on the far right. Now I wait with baited breath for the full collection to be showcased online on the 2nd November, before hitting the shops and online store on the 23rd November.

Just another reason why I love Chanel! If this dress was described to me... nude... backless... cut-out sides... dripping with pearls... I would think cheap, tacky and a little tasteless, but Chanel has managed to turn all of these things into a stunning, and might I even add classy, couture dress. It is everything I would never wear, so I even surprised myself when I was dying for it the moment I saw it. I don't know how Chanel does it, but they can turn anything into pure class.

Day 7 - The first Alexander McQueen collection designed since Lee McQueen's death was a little lighter that McQueen's usual darkness but still had typical McQueen structures, which made for a fitting tribute to McQueen. The collection was full of regal dresses and, like many other collections for next season, there was lots of feather embellishment.

Nina Ricci is going pretty Parisian chic for next season with light chiffon, lace, satin and a hint of tweed. The show started out in nude colours of pale pinks, peaches and white before moving into bolder colours of blue, yellow and a darker shade of pink. Styles were very feminine with nipped in belted and paperbag waists, ruffles, pleats and frills.
