Rather Spectacular.

One of the prettiest looking collections I've seen in a while.








On a day when fashion—make that everyone—could do with some cheering up, Luella Bartley did quite a brilliant job of perking up London's spirits. How that's possible in combinations of mauve, orange, and pink, executed in tweed, lace, and frills, doesn't quite translate to the written word. Yet once the girl got going with the boxy jackets, and the asymmetrical tiered frill skirts, and the big satin hair bows, and the net veils, and the pearl-chain handbags, and the tulle gloves, she had the audience smiling like the financial markets could take care of themselves for a moment.

Luella makes you scream 'summer is here!!!' And what a fine way to describe her magic. This is my favourite quote, "she had the audience smiling like the financial markets could take care of themselves for a moment."

Honestly, I'm still feeling bummed and tired from vacation. I am wearing two kinds of prints today, blue leopard and dark red paisley. I am also wearing my big purple beads. I feel like myself back in 2005/2006. I wanted to break the monotony of office wear today. I know office wear doesn't have to be boring but more often than not, I appear at work in black pants and a tank.
