I had to do a blog post on Valentino and Dolce and Gabbana’s ready to wear Autumn/Winter 2013 collections. I am in love. And as overused as that word might be in my dictionary- I actually am! Both the collections are exciting and diverse and make my DIY mind explode with possibilities of winter capes, embellished collars and statement dresses. If I could, these are the collections I would be wearing!

| Valentino - Ready to Wear - Autumn/Winter 2013 Is it possible that one of the reasons I love both A/W collections is because Valentino's is inspired by Flemish paintings and D&G's by frescoes and mosaics?- Both of which I am currently studying! (This university stuff isn't starting to have an effect on me is it?!) |

I can safely say that loose tunics, large collars, tactile
fabrics and exciting embellishments are definitely going to be making an appearance
in my sketches and hopefully also in my wardrobe!
I also had to include these two pieces from Valentino's Spring/Summer 2013 couture collection because as I was looking through the recent catwalk shows I remebered how exquisite they are and I am definetly going to be taking some inspiration from their detailed patterns.
