How beautiful are these? Giuseppe Zanotti is very rapidly becoming my favourite shoe designer simply because they are all so damn high.
Giuseppe Zanotti Mesh and Lizard Effect Leather Sandals £465
These are beyond words. They would look better with jeans as any straps covering the ankles can often cut off the appearance of the leg length.
They’re perfect!

This bikini is gorgeous! I absolutely love it. My favourite style of bikini is bandeau as it suits my shape better, and this glitter like pattern is beautiful.
Lanvin Sequin Print Metallic Bandeau Bikini £610
I am aware that gold bikinis can cause serious burns thanks to the material, so I’m not sure whether this would cause damage or not. Anyway, in this case, who cares about the practicalities... It’s wonderful!

This issue is between two very differing spotted ties…
Richard James Spotted Silk Satin Tie £75
This colour is very feminine. White ties are quite difficult to pull off as they are usually associated with the black shirt white tie combination that is seen on most 14/15 year old boys who are trying their best to look suave.
Richard James Dotted Silk Tie £75
I adore this tie because it reminds me of the night sky (however lame that may sound). The colour is in my top 5 favourites for ties as I think it goes incredibly well with a slick suit. I also like the fact that the dots are only visible when close up.
This issue, the winner is the Dotted tie, wonderful.

3.1 Phillip Lim released a leopard print collection which I loved (minus the PJ-like jumpsuit) and then ASOS did their version (3.2 Leopards) and now Tibi have produced their version of the trend; at this rate we’ll almost make 4 whole leopards!
Tibi Printed Cotton Blend Sateen Blazer £360
I really love this blazer because the structure would be really flattering. It would look great with a white shirt, skinny jeans and beige Louboutins (160 of course).
Tibi Printed Cotton Blend Sateen Cropped pants £245
These trousers have a very flattering look from the front, however from the back they tend to look a little too baggy, which is never good. These would definitely be a try-on-first style.
Tibi Printed Cotton Blend Sateen Dress £295
This dress is very similar to the 3.1 style and it works. Having a pattern this busy means the style has to be classic and that’s exactly what this is. Black tights, black courts and a Burberry trench, perfect.
I wonder who else will put their mark on this style?

I asked the question to you lot a few weeks ago about this underwear set and whether the frilly, excess material was attractive or not. The answer was, yes, we love it. So what about this half and half frou frou effect?
La Perla Frou Frou Ruffled Tulle Briefs £340
Bra wise I think it looks more appealing just being half and half as it doesn’t look so over the top, however with the pants it would make you look like you had a bigger, lumpier behind! I like it though; frou frou is a win for me.

This is not for a cold day, or public transport.
Balenciaga Edition Vintage Crystal Choker £545
The Row Cavanaugh Cotton Dress £1000
Giuseppe Zanotti Embellished Suede and Leather Slingbacks £905
Jimmy Choo Cayla Glitter Finish Clutch £595
I absolutely adore what The Row produce and this dress is right up my street.

Tie die is difficult to pull off when wearing clothing out and about, however with swimwear it is completely acceptable and often displayed at its best.
Milly Positano Printed Triangle Bikini Top £96 Briefs £96
I really like this Milly bikini because the tie dye looks fabulous. It would suit tanned skin better due to the darker colours, so maybe it’s one to save for the last few days of the holiday. Lovely!

You know you have made it when you become a Simpson character, and these fashion characters created by Alexsandro Palombo are hilarious!
Marc Jacobs & Alber Elbaz
Anna Wintour & Karl Lagerfeld
CoCo Chanel & Donatella Versace
My favourites are Anna and Karl just because they are so realistic. I would love for the Simpsons to make a fashion special... Lisa becomes a model and encounters all of these people maybe? They're just so fabulous!

I’m not too sure what to make of these shoes. I adore the colours, but it’s just the up-the-leg straps that ruin it for me.
Christian Louboutin Meteorita 140 Metallic Leather Sandals
If this style had been altered slightly and not been so strappy it would have worked wonders. From this shoe I’m hoping Louboutin aren’t relying on their red sole in order to achieve sales…

Both ties are by Z Zenga in this round and they are very eye catching…
Z Zenga Contrast Diagonal Stripe Tie £120
I really love the colours involved in this tie. I think that thinner stripes are more appealing on a tie, and I like the combination of the thin and thick stripes. If the black colour had been used for the thicker stripes it wouldn’t be half as appealing.
Z Zenga Wide Diagonal Stripe Tie £120
This tie to me looks like a boarding school house tie due to the colours and the thickness of the stripes. It does look nice, but for me it has those connotations and that’s not very appealing for a £120 tie.
This round the winner is the Z Zenga Contrast tie.
