I Spy.......Bottega Veneta Spring 2013

Just loving the Bottega Veneta RTW collection for Spring 2013 .

Even though, at first glance it is a tad dark and sombre and far from the  efferverscence of springtime, look closely and you will see a riot of flowers and florals and a collection that is essentially an ode to spring -and femininity.

 Ultra feminine and chic, this collection glances back at the past but is thoroughly modern in both cut and execution.

Did you notice the abscence of trousers in the selection?
Nope, there isn't a single pair of pants in the entire collection.

I spy.....Gucci Teals F/W 2011

Surely Gucci's  ready-to-wear collection for Fall 2011 must be one of this season's most stunning collections.
Not only is it bold and bright but it's also terribly elegant and chic -not to mention vampishly sexy.
While the colours are breath-taking in themselves, their combination in the collections are  nothing short of explosive.

Having said that, I'm sharing  some of the vibrant teal pieces -because, sadly, I just couldn't fit all 50 masterpieces of the complete collection in one post.....
