Elie Saab is my absolute favourite designer, season after season he never disappoints....

I love the beautiful greens and yellows from this week's Spring 2012 show in Paris.....

elegant, feminine, glamorous....love love LOVE!!

Cannes 2011....

The Cannes Film Festival rolls on and above are some of my favourite dresses of the week so far....I think Penelope Cruz and Johnny Depp possible stole the show. Penelope looks beautiful in Marchesa and Stella McCartney.

I don't usually feature Cheryl Cole (not a fan of hers)....but I think she wore two fabulous dresses at Cannes and the one above by Roberto Cavalli is my favourite.

Sarah Jessica Parker looks fabulous in Elie Saab, I absolutely LOVE this on her.

Friday Fabulousness....

Lots of dresses and an extra helping of girly stuff with the Paris couture shows this week so I thought we needed some manly handsomeness to balance things up a little....I give you Mr Paul Newman.....

So Friday at last...and today is the first day this week that I haven't had a sick child at home....I think the gods of motherhood must have been getting their revenge on me for gadding about from one beauty treatment to the next last week!!

One of my favourite things about this week has to be the Paris Couture Shows which were just breathtaking.....Chanel, Valentino, Elie Saab.....beautiful, wearable gowns which I am sure we will be seeing again on red carpets around the world.

I also - finally - joined Twitter this week....you can follow me, should you wish to do so, at/on @ironingbasket :)

My husband is skiing in Austria on a "boys trip" as I type....so this week-end, I will be catching up with all my favourite TV shows, luxuriating (hopefully) in the bliss of a whole bed to myself (little monkeys permitting)....and maybe doing a little retail therapy (little monkeys permitting once again).

Elie Saab Couture Spring 2011

Total Fabulous Gorgeousness from Elie Saab in Paris for his Spring 2011 Couture Show....romantic fairy-tale dresses of the most beautiful designs, shapes and fabrics....some Academy Award best dresses amongst them too I should think.

I love Elie Saab, he is without a shadow of a doubt my most favourite designer, his creations are so wonderful, I can't even imagine what it must feel like to wear one.
