Marks & Spencer (M&S) British retailer has some gorgeous collections for Fall/Winter 2010. The beauty and class of the Portfolio and Autograph Collections are what prompted me to write this post.

A Touch of History

Twiggy Photo at Allposters

M and S has always run newspaper and/or magazine ads since the early 1950s, but the introduction of some famous stars such as Twiggy and David Jason in various TV ads has helped raise the company’s profile. Twiggy first appeared in 1967, returning later in 1995 and 2005.

Marks & Spencer also has a Twiggy collection up on their site featuring Twiggy outfits from their Christmas TV Advert. But it’s their lingerie I love best, here are a few of my top picks!

For TNT’s “Christmas in Washington 2010,” First Lady Michelle Obama chose a 1950s Norman Norell black lace dress to celebrate the holidays. Mrs. O wears a ton of vintage-inspired pieces, so I’m thrilled to see her seamlessly incorporate true vintage into her wardrobe now as well.  You can see that she’s styled this outfit in both a classic and modern way with black kitten heel pumps and dangling diamond statement earrings.

This image from the archives of LIFE magazine first appeared on June 6, 1960.

Fashion Designer Norman Norell Assisting Student Designer Deanna Cohen fit Dress She Designed

by Joe Scherschel

The 1950s frock was pulled from the New York Vintage archives and may very well be the first time she’s ever worn a vintage piece.

The store’s co-owner Jon Schneck couldn’t be happier, saying:

“[This is] truly an historic event, as this may be the first time a First Lady has worn a vintage dress. Other dresses from the archive have being scheduled for use by the First Lady later this year. We are truly honored that the First Lady has chosen a gown from New York Vintage as her first venture into vintage couture.”

Norman Norell is credited as the the “father of American high fashion,” who paved the way for Halston, Bill Blass and James Galanos. Get your own Holiday Black Dress at Dorothy Perkins, Marks & Spencer, Miss Selfridge or ModCloth!

Round about Christmas we all get the urge to add a bit of sparkle to our outfits.   This year the high street has been awash with beading and sequins.  Embellished clothing is big this year and, whilst you may be more used to adorning your top half with all that glitters, I’d would like to remind you that this trend works for legs too.

Christina Aguilera stuns in embellished tights

Christina Aguilera stuns in embellished tights

With the release of the Burlesque movie fast approaching, Christina Aguilera is the style queen everyone is watching, and she’s not only favoring fishnets. She stunned the crowds on Saturday night’s X-Factor performance in her sparkling embellished tights. These hand made beauties from Bebaroque, with their gorgeous crystals and pearls, fetch for $312.95. But fear not if that is a little out of your price range, MyTights has a great selection of embellished tights available from just $12.65 – choose from sparkly sequins to stunning studs, whether you want something subtle or daring there is something for everyone.

Rock the embellished look to perfection with the Bebaroque Lourdes Tights.  I’ve been lusting after these hand crafted luxury tights adorned with crystals, sequins and pearls!

At $312.95, I will admit that you have do have to be fairly committed to the embellished cause to pick up a pair of these gorgeous tights but they are second to none in terms of quality and luxury.  The black version will make you look like you have just waded through diamonds to get to your party.  I think the cream version will look great with a super girly outfit – consider wearing it with pale lace if you want to nail two winter trends at once.  The cream version will also look stunning under wedding dresses. Both warm and beautiful, I can’t think of a better accessory for a winter wedding!

Bebaroque designers, Mhairi McNicol and Chloe Patience are true innovators in legwear design and their range of embellished tights are on every fashionista’s wish list.  Based in Scotland, their products are set to become a British design classics.  A more affordable alternative to the Lourdes tights, are their Carla tights which come in black and plum and are adorned with colorful metal studs which will glint as you walk.

If you are a newcomer to the embellished trend and want to start subtle and affordable, the Pretty Polly Embellished Tights are the perfect place to begin.  Decorated with gold and silver discs on one leg, they will glitter under the light without taking over your outfit.   I recommend these as a key piece in any winter party wardrobe.  Wear black opaques in the day and then switch to these to take your work outfit from day to evening effortlessly.

Embellished tights are a tasteful way to add a little sparkle to a Christmas party outfit.  They are also a little out of the ordinary and will make sure that your legs are the center of attention.

Rihanna is featured in GQ magazine (UK edition) in WKD’s Padded Bullet Bra! Except GQ photoshopped out the trapunto stitching in the cups. Whatever, it’s still gorgeous!

Notes about WKD’s padded bullet bra

We’re sorry to say that we neglected smaller busted ladies for too long, and we hope to make amends with this offering – our revolutionary padded bullet bra! We know smaller busts look spectacular in our bullet bras, and there’s less of a risk of having someone’s eye out; though we realize full cups can leave smaller bosoms looking and feeling deflated. And that just won’t do!

Starting at an A-cup, this padded version of our signature bra features the same circle stitching, but the light padding ensures the points stay perky without the need for any extra help. This style goes up to a C-cup, and is wonderfully supportive and comfortable, but we won’t be making it in any larger sizes. So if you count yourself among the small-but-perfectly-formed, this one is all for you!
