Online Dreaming

Our avid blog readers will be well aware I have a little obsession with an online store called Net-A-Porter. It's not just some little obsession, it's a full blown love affair. I can't get enough of it! The most desireable and beautiful designer pieces are available at the click of a button, which makes life easy if you happen to live in Australia as some of stocked labels are a no-go zone for us, unfortunately. I was even more in love when I realised they have now opened their Wedding Boutique, an online store where you can get everything for the bride, bridesmaids, Mother of the Bride and even the wedding guests! They offer complete styling tips and I can personally guarantee you will fall in love with at least 5 pieces. Short and long dresses, dresses with silk and lace, suits, skirt and tops; everything is here. I could go on about this for hours but I won't. Visit www.net-a-porter.com to browse the complete Wedding Boutique but I must worn you, you will fall in love and you won't want to leave. Also, keep your credit card well away if you're not keen on spending. It would be easy to rack up an astronomical bill!

You can choose from a simply hip range of designers from Lanvin, Marchesa, One Vintage and Yves Saint Laurent to Temperly London, Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti, Fendi, Halston abd the list goes on!


Temperley London embellished crepe-silk gown £2,754 and Lanvin washed silk-satin jeweled gown £5,434


Yves Saint Laurent satin-trimmed tuxedo suit £2,355 and One Vintage Lucy dress £10,406

There is a super pretty selection of veils and heapieces available, ranging from classic and uber feminine to modern and sharp. I adore the Lanvin Ostrich feather-trimmed veil. Too pretty for words!


Lanvin Ostrich feather-trimmed veil £409 and Maison Michel Uffie miniature top hat with veil £362

How could I ignore the amazing selection of shoes! Louboutin's, Choo's, McQueen's, Fendi's, Valentino's... heaven! You'll also find every accessory you'll ever need including jewellery, headpieces, bags, coverups and pieces of gorgeous lingerie. Oh my!

Take It Off

My absolute favourite lingerie label, Pleasure State, has just sent out their January to June 2010 lookbooks and I just had to share with you some of the beautiful pics. Not only are the pieces simply too good to cover up but the photos are just gorgeous. I have a relatively small but super pretty collection of Pleasure State pieces and I have to say that they not only look adorable but they are SO comfortable, give great support and great shape. Pleasure State also have the hottest collection, called VIP, for all those curvier, bustier girls and the pieces are equally as gorgeous as the other collection. If there's ever a time to have simply stunning lingerie it's for your wedding and honeymoon. BUT... there is really no reason not to wear gorgeous lingerie all the time. You'll feel amazing if you do! Visit www.pleasurestate.com to view the White Label, Couture, VIP and My Fit collections.
