Alexander McQueen Resort 2012

My favourite dress from the collection

With all eyes on Sarah Burton after the Royal Wedding, the pressure was on to for her to deliver on her promise to bring a new sense of softness and feminine wearability to the collection. It would appear that with her Resort 2012 collection, she is doing just that. The collection, based around the idea of romantic utility, features tailored pants, high-necked blouses, mid-length skirts with ruffled hems, and red carpet red embroidered gowns.

Christian Louboutin "Jenny"

These are quite possibly the most perfect shoes. Mostly gold, with flecks of blue, green, red, yellow, these stunning shoes will bring a little fun to any outfit, whether you are dressed up or down. I'd wear them with everything, even sweatpants, that's how much I love them.

In honour of his relaunched website earlier this month, Jason Wu has released a mini version of his Miss Wu handbag. The primary colours of these cross-body bags really make the python pop, and along with the shiny hardware, give the classic cross-body bag a flirty touch.

In Greek mythology "Sobek" is the god of the Nile, and is depicted as having a crocodile head. You can have crocodile feet with these stunning emerald green pumps from Louboutin, which actually remind me of a mermaid.
