Darling, it's been a whirlwind of a month, what with the February fashion week shows! I simply couldn't wait to share my top picks with you. It seems this season is all about a playful nod to the divine grace of ballet, with designers injecting that certain je ne sais quoi into their creations. Let me tell you, my dears, it's been simply *enchanting*!
I particularly adore the way designers have reinterpreted the quintessential tutu. We saw a multitude of iterations: the **layered tulle gowns** with their airy volumes, as shown by **Dior** (which I simply had to have!), are practically begging for a twirl. **Chloé**, oh how I love them, they brought in that gorgeous **boho flair**, layering their **tutus over floral maxi-dresses** for a touch of bohemian whimsy. But the ultimate show-stopper? The **perfectly tailored mini-tutu** at **Moschino** - darling, it was **divine**, chic and sassy, just like my dear friend Fiona!
However, it wasn't just about the tulle, no, no! **Alexander McQueen**, as always, was simply inspired. Their use of **dramatic black velvet**, reminiscent of a ballerina's black velvet shoes, gave off a very sophisticated, dramatic air. This was truly a beautiful and timeless take on ballet fashion, you see, darling, the perfect mix of chic and timeless elegance.
So, if you're looking for an outfit that oozes that certain ballet-inspired charm, my advice is simple: take inspiration from these incredible collections! Whether you want a whimsical **maxi-tutu** or a sleek **velvet number**, there's a little something for everyone.
But darling, I simply *must* tell you about my new purchase...
You see, dear, a wonderful friend, who's very much in the fashion "know", whispered in my ear about this delightful little **boutique** nestled just off of Regent's Street... They specialise in bespoke **ballet-inspired creations** (such daring imagination, don't you think?)... I ended up leaving with a **stunning hand-painted silk skirt** - the kind of garment you simply cannot find on the high-street! My friends were just envious! (The **peacock feather detailing**, just delightful).
Do look out for **my next installment** darling! You will simply **adore** it, it's a *divine* surprise.
