I love Basso & Brooke’s designs and their SS09 collection is no exception, filled with gorgeously mood brightening colours and patterns and sexy silks, all with a really feminine feel.
‘Basso & Brooke’s inspiration for Spring/Summer 09 is the idea of a “High-Tech Romance”. Roving the Far East for inspirational stimulus, the design duo have emerged themselves in a Japanese, rather well organized, urban chaos. Drenched in luminous refinement the new collection reflects a positive and optimistic lifestyle expressed through colour and love of nature.’

I think that this silk dress by Ralph Lauren is so cute, ultra feminine and understated sexy.
It looks brown but it’s actually a dark purple and purple is so hot right now. i just love the frill sleeves and ruffle front which is also a big trend right now and continues to be for SS09, so get trendy without being a real fashion victim.
Great if you have larger breasts as you can flash a little cleavage to sexy it up even more.
It’s now only $160 in the Bloomingdales sale ladies!

underwear 
This is a great idea…
Finally a proper bra that you can wear with those sexy backless dresses and tops, if like me you have tried using the dreaded stick on bra cups and given up then you’ll be as pleased as i am to discover this, The side boning holds you in while the straps loop around the outer shoulders for maximum support. Not sure how well this will cope with bigger breasts though, but you could always use some breast tape to stick the cups to your skin for a bit of extra support.

Well ladies, i hope that you have all been looking after those party feet in the run up to the party season?!
Pretty much all of the party shoes that i have seen recently are peep toes so you really need to make sure that those toes are looking no less than perfect. Topshop have a great selection at moment, i’m loving the gold ones (centre) and they are reduced to $70 at the moment!

Bags 
Feathers are a big trend this season and this super cute little evening bag By Karen Millen is just adorable.
Very glamorous and will last you for years, so think of it as an investment gals!
I don’t know about you ladies, but i always find that evening bags are far too small for all of my essentials and they end up busting at the seams which isn’t very classy or stylish, but i reckon that this bag would be fairly sufficient in size.. well maybe if i cut back on my essentials a little?!

I just love these shoes, they are so feminine yet have a real masculine feel to them with the lace up front, these would look great with tailored trousers and feminine top, i’m thinking silk maybe? but they would also look great with a skirt or dress, so pretty versatile and a real wardrobe investment!

sweaters 
Chunky knits are big news this season… hooray!
And with this very warm and cosy looking Lily McNeal cardigan, you can keep extra warm and still be sexy and show some cleavage, rather than looking like an old grandma!
Unfortunately it is only available in this colour, which i’m afraid will not be a good colour on anyone with dark or olive skin tones as it will really make you look washed out, so only go for this if you are a similar colouring to the model in the photo.

www.dawes-design.com is a very stylish jewellery website owned by designer Jennifer Dawes, and the great thing about this is online store is that all of the jewellery is eco friendly.
Jennifer recently launched Sustainably Beautiful, her initiative in creating jewelry in a socially and environmentally responsible way. She only uses recycled gold, conflict free diamonds and responsibly mined stones. “I try to leave as small a footprint on this planet as possible.” Dawes Design is known as one of only a handful of jewelry collections in the U.S. that handcrafts every piece of jewelry with recycled gold and socially and responsibly mined stones. The company will even customize any design to fit a stone the client already owns (wedding rings, stackable rings, bangles, necklaces).
Now i have seen lots of eco jewellery companies about lately, and quite frankly all of the pieces look as though they have been made from bits of twigs and rocks, not the kind a look that a stylish girl about town generally goes for, which is why i was so surprised with Jennifer’s designs.

Well i don’t actually have much to say about this Betsey Johnson dress other than it’s soo cute!!
Perfect if you are a pear shape as it will show off your slimmest area perfectly (your upper body) and the bottom part of the dress will disguise a large bottom/thighs.
