Resort 2012 Collections

I couldn't help but fall in love with this season's Resort 2012 collections!  Choosing which ones to feature became quite a difficult decision!  After browsing close to every collection on style.com...I begin my Resort 2012 posts with Chloe, Burberry Prorsum and Missoni.

Chloe Resort 2012

This one of my favourite Chloe collections..classic, feminine and elegant.  This collection is so similar to my personal style and aesthetic, that I only wish I could have every piece!

        

Burberry Prorsum Resort 2012

A classic Burberry collection that embraces Burberry's signatory pieces including the trench coat.  I love the dashes of mustard yellow and vibrant blue.  Did anyone else spot the lilac flares?..L.O.V.E!

Missoni Resort 2012

I couldn't help but post Missoni's collection...it's so creative and inspiring!  The collection is a combination of the 60s and 70s, with simple shift dress, maxi dresses, long flowy skirts and turbans.  I can't help but love the use of lilac!  

Olivia Palermo for Marie Claire UK

What do you get when you combine one of the world's most fashionable girls and one of the world's most fashionable magazines?  Simple...one of the most fashionable editorials!  I am currently infatuated with the June 2011 issue of Marie Claire UK, with Olivia Palermo on the cover.  Olivia Palermo..Need I say more?!  What makes this issue even more amazing is that it's a dual issue, with a different cover for subscribers.  Now all that is left to do is locate a copy, would anyone in the UK like to send me a copy?!

By Popular Request: Menswear!

I've decided to turn The Lilac Mannequin up-side-down for this post...this post was inspired by none other than my brother! A few weeks ago my brother started a new job, so we spent half the weekend shopping and I couldn't resist styling him. I'm surprised by the many guys who seek my style and fashion advice and who follow my blog. So I've decided to try something new and start incorporating fashion posts for my male followers. Don't hesitate to let me know what you would like to see..style advice, male celebrity inspiration, street wear, corporate wear, editorials, runway collections! But because this post was inspired by my brother and his corporate wear, I leave you with Lagerfeld's new Fall 2011 collection featuring Baptise Giabiconi.

Rachel Zoe Resort 2012 Collection

If there's one person I'd love to meet, it's Rachel Zoe..Just when you thought she couldn't possibly out do herself, out comes her Resort 2012 collection to make you go completely bananas!  For her second collection, Rachel of course remained true to her 70s aesthetic and style however, pushed the boundaries, adding dashes of vibrant colour and played with prints and proportions... high waisted coloured and denim flares, maxi dresses and skirts with subtle slits on the side, ruffle mini dresses, simple shift dresses, leather and sequins, jumpsuits, structured jackets, cut outs, and my personal favourite..the long simple, halter, black and white dress with sequins! L.O.V.E.  What's next for Rachel Zoe?  Well the fourth instalment of The Rachel Zoe Project is set to air in July!  But that's not all Rachel is planning a jewellery line for Fall 2012!  Rachel loves 'excessories' more than clothes, so I can only image what she has planned!
