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. :)

Day 4 - These fabulous gowns are from Haider Ackermann's Spring/Summer 2011 collection. They are a mixture of pretty and feminine with pleats to edgy with thigh high splits and leather jackets and waistcoats.

Day 5 - At John Galliano's Spring/Summer 2011 there was lots of layering and pretty dresses with a hint of twenties inspiration. The theatrical setting was a perfect backdrop for this collection.

Day 6 - Minimalistic femininity at Chloe with ribbon waisted skirts in floaty chiffon and ballerina wrap tops.

Day 7 - At the Chanel Spring/Summer 2011 show the models modelled their way around a black and white French garden maze. Feathers adorned everything from dresses to bags to jewellery, beginning to show itself as an emerging trend for next season. Chanel's signature tweed is given a twist for next season with a moth eaten look that works really well for a more relaxed look.
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.

These looks are all from Manish Arora's Spring/Summer 2011 collection who once again has taken us into a fantasy world. This time it was of the futuristic glamazon with gold body armour, LED lights, crystal beading, wide shoulders and hips, bold patterns and leggings so skintight it gave the illusion that they had been painted on. This was all done in a beautiful colour palette of mainly lilac, turquoise and coral, which added a softness to the futuristic warrior.
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.
