I'm usually a big fan of colour, which is exactly why I went for understated monochrome to make this week truly different. (As you can see, I caved on the last day.) I didn't want to overdo it, and ended up loving the black-and-white midi skirt + black top combo...very Milano! I'm not on a jetsetting fashionista budget either, so High Street stores made my Fashion Week affordable :) and I'm not sorry! My trusty black clutch (a TARDIS as it can carry everything) and black wedges follow me everywhere.

If there's one thing I've learnt from style stalking, it's that everybody loves an occasion to dress up! This is one of the reasons why I love red carpet style so much, but it was also very refreshing to see the coolest outfits on the pavements and not just the catwalks or red carpets.  I had such a good time putting my best foot forward this season; I can't wait to do it all over again next season in London.

Can I just say how much I LOVE Jenny Packham? Her dresses are simply gorgeous and I struggle not to like them. For her latest collection, she has stated her desire to interlink contrasting masculine and feminine elements into one showstopping outfit.



Fabulous floral prints? Tick. Oscar-worthy dresses? Tick. The embellishments which made me fall in love with her designs in the first place? Big Tick. Packham has packed an English rose garden in her suitcase to New York and delivered once again.

Posh or Sporty? Our favourite popstar-turned-mega-designer is back with a surfer-inspired collection for Spring/Summer 16. It's different and bold and beautiful.


With some retro vibes, loud prints, ode to the Great British gingham, and some elegant white dresses in the mix, Victoria Beckham shows no signs of getting boring. You'd even be forgiven for thinking she showcased several different collections. Possibly my favourite element of this range is the flattering, ladylike shape of the skirts and dresses - not quite maxi, but nearly.

The outfits were paired with very simple understated make-up...pretty easy to replicate at home!!

I personally adore the balance of simple colours paired with some bright prints. If you can't wait til next Spring/Summer, simply take a white top or skirt and match with your most patterned item of clothing. Careful clashing is allowed!

I wasn't expecting this collection from VB, I'll be honest, but she captures the laidback effortless cool of surfers brilliantly.

The mustard yellow is one of my all-time favourite colours, and recently I've been spotting it everywhere. Living in beautiful Italia, I've walked past glamorous women casually wearing full-length mustard dresses and looking effortlessly sunny and stunning. Vanessa Hudgens pulled off a gorgeous backless gown by Galia Lahav at the 2015 Industry Dance Awards. And more recently, Gigi Hadid wore a brighter bodysuit-slash-dress by Emilia Wickstead to the VMAs.

The colour is gorgeous. Which is why I simply had to wear it to this year's Venice Film Festival. Instead of a dress, I managed to find a matching crochet top and maxi dress combo in the same shade of mustard yellow. A perfect match for the red carpet, but equally walking the streets of Venice too.
