2011 Review

My favourite collections and pieces of 2011

Ted Baker Bird Cage Print Collection


"Recreating the delicacy and detail of vintage bird cages through fine pencil drawings, Ted developed this unforgettable print for his Spring/Summer 11 Womenswear collection. Featuring birds perched on or inside the various cages with a shot of colour and playfulness across all styles and fabrics, it offers a feminine and appealing design that women have taken to their hearts."

The collection comprises of many different pieces, from maxi dresses to bikinis and Ted's signature IKON style bag, but the pinnacle must be the beautiful embellished dress shown below.

Mulberry Trippy Tiger Collection

This bright, fun and playful print on the successful Mulberry shapes makes this collection standout as one of the best of 2011. Pictured here in the Bayswater variety, I've worn this bag out with many different outfits and have received many compliments regarding it. 

Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Collection

This range of sheer lipsticks were widely anticipated in the early months of 2011. "Fresh, sheer and luminous, Rouge Coco Shine provides beautiful, lasting moisturizing shine in a water – light texture. The formula glides on for easy application, and a unique Hydratendre complex hydrates and softens lips, giving them a healthier and fuller appearance."  Each of the 18 shades is linked to the world of Coco Chanel: each a source of inspiration or influence that profoundly impacted her life. My favourite is 'CHANCE' a powder pink shade which is perfect for a casual daytime look. Sheer delight!
