Jaime Winstone wins in Holly Fulton at the Variety Club Awards

Without sounding mean or rude, I can give or take Jaime Winstone (although am desperate to see Made In Dagenham!), but last night at the Co-operative Variety Club Showbiz Awards she won hands down, for me anyway, when it came to Best Dressed - in her GORGEOUS Holly Fulton maxi dress.

I think out of all the London Fashion Week shows I attended, Holly's was my favourite (have a look at my coverage here). I'm such a huge fan of her art-deco prints, her colour choices and her oversized jewels, so much so that I have begged her PR to get her to venture into menswear! (to no avail, YET).

This particular dress makes up part of the Lulu & Co collection, exclusively available on www.matchesfashion.com. It can be yours for a snip at £225, or there is this more expensive design, costing £1,075. Love them both, however I can see why Jaime's choice would appeal more, a little less busy.

So today I've gone high end. I figure it's OK to treat myself, and you guys, once in a while to products that are of a higher, erm, price tag. So here's a few bits to keep you entertained/drooling/saving up for...

FOR THE GIRLS...




One of my favourite designers, Holly Fulton's art deco silk jersey maxi dress is simply stunning, £1,075 from www.matchesfashion.com; everyone is in love with Christopher Kane's embroidered flowers, £2,225 from www.net-a-porter.com


Everything Ashish touches turns to sequins. This cable knit tank is FASHION FUN, £515 from www.brownsfashion.com; Haider Ackermann's origami leather jacket is a must (if you have the cash!), £1,690 from www.thecorner.com

FOR THE BOYS...

Can't resist a good bag, especially a Westwood one! Distressed leather holdall, £492 from http://www.asos.com/; tweed and a bit of puffer (sleeves and the whole back are puffer) all in one with this Moncler jacket, £980 from http://www.brownsfashion.com/

Accessories with this bolt ring by Maison Martin Margiela, £115 from http://www.oki-ni.com/; love John Galliano for this long sleeve tee, grim and fun all at the same time, £200 from http://www.herviabazaar.com/

Even MORE from Fashion Week...

There were a few shows that really tickled my taste buds, really got me interested and really made me smile. Here's some highlights...

I think my favourite collection award for the week goes to Holly Fulton. She caught my eye last year with her oh-so gorgeous art deco designs, colour-pop hues and oversized Swarovski jewellery - she hasn't disappointed me since then.

For spring summer 2011, according to the show notes, "... the Fulton ladies are on tour. Taking Joan Collins as their muse, they have decided on a cruise to escape the tedium of the city and stop off in the chicest resorts de jour en route" - errrm, is this my ideal collection or what? Did someone say Joan Collins? Fulton filled her STUNNING collection with more of her fun art deco prints, 'broken glass' designs, long, lean silhouettes, fierce hair, fierce Loubies to compliment all the clothes... the whole thing was fierce! Oh God, I can't possibly fit any more adjectives into one description!

You probably have to look for yourself... notice the OMGorgeous cloud print, a new one for Holly! I just wish she would do some menswear! LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Todd Lynn, although some of the collection was slightly too reminiscent of McQueen's other-worldly designs, still managed to keep me interested. He used a lot of snakeskin; flashes of it in shorts and jackets and some uber-cool wrap around collars. The collection was really sculptural and architecture, similar to season past for Lynn, but lovely all the same. The Louboutin booties were an extra special treat, I reckon women everywhere should really own a pair of them this winter, and the menswear really needs to be in my wardrobe soon, those asymmetric lines and snakeskin patches were VERY nice!

And then we have Amanda Wakeley's fabulous styling. I wanted some long frocks, in fact I was craving some, and I thought Amanda would please me. There were some, not enough to be honest, but there were some amazing pieces. The sand/tan/camel coloured dresses were styled with big, warrior women belts (they remained in most of the collection), the amazing jewellery designed by Maria Francesca Pepe was a super-glam touch (the semi-circle neck pieces and cuffs were especially gorgeous) and the Skovgaard shoes tied everything together. Lots of draping made spring summer with Amanda Wakeley comfortable and extremely body flattering.

FOR THE BOYS...

I stumbled across these insanely gorgeous printed shirts by the fab Martine Rose on www.oki-ni.com. This first one is my favourite, but I think I might pur-chase all three! Wear them semi-smart with jeans or inject some interest into a plain black suit. YUM!

Embrace the 80s with these super-bright new limited edition Hi-Tec trainers exclusive to New Look (£40). They come in three styles, with just 48 pairs of each made. They'll be available at the end of March at the Oxford Street store or online at www.newlook.com. All you need is a shell suit and you're sorted. (I wonder when the shell suit will rear it's (ugly) head again?!)

FOR THE GIRLS...

Holly Fulton is my favourite UK designer at the moment (if only she did a menswear range!) and this is one of the exclusive Holly Fulton for ASOS dresses that she has designed - so now you can get a slice of the Fulton action for a fraction of the price. It's £85 and available now on www.asos.com

Or if you feel like splashing out on one of her original, amazing geometric cum art deco designs then click onto www.brownsfashion.com where you will find, among others, this orange number (£705) and the fun Chrysler building necklace (£245).
