SAINT LAURENT | Fall / Winter 2016 Showcase.

Oh Saint Laurent, how I love thee, let me count the ways…

The rumours were rife ahead of the L.A showcase that this collection could indeed be the last from Saint Laurent Creative Director, Hedi Slimane. I sincerely hope it isn’t the final showcase – but if it is, he’s certainly gone out with a massive bang. The Fall / Winter 2016 collection is incredible. I want every. single. piece.

The showcase was presented during New York Fashion – Men’s Collections – but included around 40 Women’s looks, revealing a heavy influence of 70’s-glam-luxe wear. Lavish embroidery, fringing and signature Slimane leopard print adorns the Women’s collection – with highlights of gold and snake print added for good measure. I love the mixture of texture and print. The delicate beading and brash boots.

A glimpse of David Bowie was captured throughout the Men’s collection with 70’s tailoring and that glam-rock essence that was magically brought to life through Ziggy Stardust himself.

This is definitely not a subtle collection and I imagine not one for everyone, but my goodness, this is definitely a collection for me!

The showcase was brought to a close with a bow from Slimane, something unusual for the Hedi who would notoriously walk from the stage with the models. An added smile and short wave also hinted that this could indeed be a “goodbye wave”. Which makes me incredibly sad. Let’s hope the rumour-mill is simply in overdrive and Slimane is simply just ecstatic to be showcasing such a wonderful collection in his adopted hometown of LA.

Keeping Mum: I salute you, Jessica Simpson.


I just had to write a post on the pregnancy ‘rumours’ circulating the lovely Jessica Simpson. Now, I have done A LOT of pregnancy research in the past 2 years leading up to TTC… I am by no means an expert, but Jeez Louise, Jessica Simpson has definitely got a bun in her oven! A six month bun by all rumour accounts. But why is she keeping mum about it? She looks positively glowing – she looks REALLY well. Part of me thinks, well, it’s nobodies business really… but then again, it’s so obvious she’s pregnant, and quite far along in her pregnancy, so why the ridiculous oversized bags in front of her tummy? Maybe she’s uncomfortable with the way she looks? Maybe the pregnancy wasn’t planned? Maybe (probably) she’s waiting for a highly lucrative magazine deal. Who knows!

I’ve had a great time watching Jessica’s recent ‘maternity’ outfits – don’t think she can hide behind those massive handbags for much longer though! Take a look at her recent outfits below:

 

 

The first outing for Baby Harper Seven.

  

When we first heard that the rumours of a Beckham Baby Girl were true, we were beyond excited! 3 boys and finally a precious baby girl! Strange names aside, Harper Seven is absolutely beautiful. The Beckhams took their bundle of joy for a trip out in the LA sunshine yesterday. Just look at her squidgy face! Harper is ofcourse, destined to be an absolute heartbreaker – just like her Dad ;o

Couldn’t help but notice that The Beckhams have opted for an iCandy Apple, teamed with a Maxi Cosi car seat. This travel system is vast becoming the celebrity baby must-have.

What travel systems are you currently rating? Did you have the iCandy Apple first? What additional accesories do you recommend?
