Louis Vuitton Front Row
This Louis Vuitton Spring Collection is one of my all time favourites. It was a fashion fairytale fantasy. The show opened by unveiling all the models in one glance, scattered daintily across a glittering white carousel. It was magical, very chic and Parisienne! It was a wonderful array of pretty pastel confections. The models’ hair was held in soft chignons by sparkling bands, to go with the soft, Fifties-influenced femininity of their floating, gauzy overskirts. The details were beautiful and intricate with oversized buttons and doily lace collars, macramé and appliqué. Dresses had puffed, full skirts and drop waists – and the little white dress is now on everybody’s list for summer!
A Weekend in Paris
I love everything about this glamorous photo shoot set in glitzy Paris. Hana Soukupova looks very glam and I would kill for a set of luggage that looks like that. Everything about this shoot is gorgeous - the location, the fashion, the hotel, the shoes, the car, the handbag - they all scream luxury.

This gorgeous American Vogue fashion story with Anne
Hathaway is what fairytales are made of! Sublimely elegant it was shot on location in Paris and New York
by my favourite photographer Mario Testino. Mario has managed to
capture the sophistication and glamour of a by-gone era that I really
love. Jewels by Van Cleef and Arpels, Cartier and Chopard. Evening
gowns in duchesse satin and silk faille are fit for a princess, long
satin gloves and crystal embossed clutches by Roger Vivier and Jimmy
Choo all add to the sparkle of a night on the town! Who better to
escort Anne than French actor Raphael Personnaz?

This is the most gorgeous fashion shoot - very ladylike and Parisian. I adore everything about the image below:- the setting, the car, the outfit, the shoes and of course, the handbag. I would love the handbag in the second pic for my summer wardrobe. In fact any would do!
