Menswear 2012.. Interesting 

Velvet + Reptile Textures + Baroque

I make my thoughts on Menswear clear... I don't really have many... 

Optimistically I still look for some great Menswear Looks/Designers that shake things up, some I'll soon post about to spread the love.

Here is Part 1 of my Menswear Picks for 2012. It's all in the Texture. 

It's nice to see some new Shapes and Colours for winter. 

Love love love-ing the Reptile Textures. I'm mildly obsessed with the Calvin Klein Pants, Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Baroque Blazers and the Christian Dior Bird Coat.

Pretty No?

Looks of the Week - 6-12th June 2011

Emma Watson - At the after part for the MTV Movie Awards Watson donned a light mustard Marchesa mini dress. Love love loving the abstract nature of the bust and the waistline.

Duchess of Cambridge - Attending the ARK 10th Anniversary Gala Dinner, the Duchess of Cambridge made her first public appearance since her royal wedding in a stunning rose Jenny Packham Spring 2011 gown. The Duchess still looks elegant and royal, with a more high fashion edge. Love love loves it.

Kristen Stewart - In a red Balmain mini dress, Stewart rocked the red carpet at the MTV Movie Awards in LA. I think this look is the most together out of all of them, mainly because Stewart looks comfortable and confident to show off her look. Confidence is the key lovelies!

Leighton Meester - Also in Balmain, Meester wore this embellished silver sleeved mini dress to the MTV Movie Awards. Chic look from Meester.

Miranda Kerr - At the 2011 CFDA Fashion Awards in New York, Kerr wore a Michael Kors look. The look was comprised from a cut out body suit and a long sarong skirt, lovelies take note if you ever want to rock a bodysuit dress look.
