Trend: the micro bag

The chic-est Fashion Week go-ers in town with their micro bags. 

Pastel sugars

I envy my friend who is currently living near the Tuileries gardens in Paris, living my dream. She's returning to London for the weekend on Friday and I can't wait to hear tales of Paris, the shows, the frenzy, the city...

If I could sum up my ideal outfit in one picture it would be this. Pastel sugary pink, navy blue cashmere, a chic hat and the most ladylike shoes on the planet. Parisian perfection at its utmost.

Focus on: Isabel Marant SS12

A favourite of Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley, Kate Moss and Kate Bosworth, Marant's back and she's going nowhere. Her collection is pivotal to this season's trends, with her SS12 range spearheading a vogue for fringing, mosaic patterns, bright colours and cocoon shapes. 

With knitwear, dresses and shorts making up the collection, Isabel Marant for Spring Summer 2012 is wearable and totally covetable. The friendship bracelets launched for Spring are set to have a huge fashion following. 

Thanks Isabel Marant for making me want to wear colour!

Seeing Treble

Seeing treble. Vogue Paris Editor, Emmanuelle Alt and her fellow Voguettes. Ici on la voit répétée trois fois!

While Vogue Paris editors have always had a distinct style, Emmanuelle Alt's is one that has inspired designers and fashionistas alike. Her iconic style inspired the overhaul of Balmain, which drew from her pointed shoulder and skinny cropped pencil trousers silhouette.

Dream Paris

All I'm doing at the moment is dreaming about Paris...its fashion, streets and delicacies. I'm going in three weeks with my boyfriend and cannot wait. One of my best friends is also moving out there at the end of August to start a fashion headhunting job, excited to see her new flat. 

Living in London, I miss particular things about Paris such as its romance, the classicism of daily dressing, its café culture and the beautiful skyline. I was only saying the other day how I prefer the speed of life in Paris, where people chill with a drink in the evening and spend 2 hours having lunch. 

My own Paris photos to follow end of August...
