Well, not the whole thing so far, but a few stand-out…
Take the Versace ethereal, feminine but fiercely sexy designs…

What I’ve been wearing, June 15
Now that I am posting the Dani’s Little Book of Fashion articles, I am limiting my “what I am wearing” posts to one a month.
The posts differ a bit in the sense the book of fashion is one particular look, taking trends or occasions and breaking it down in wearable chunks.
What I’m wearing brings my daily ensembles – what I wear to work and to events. Instead of the sporadic round-up of outfits, I will be sharing a selection of my favourites of the month to provide a bit of an insight on my style and hopefully a little bit of inspiration.
Outfit #1
I love this flowery suit from Matalan. It’s a bit sports luxe and the flowers make it perfect for the season – it looks great in the office too. It is gorgeous and the price is fab – the jacket is £20 and the sports trousers £15. I teamed with a nude colour vest top from New Look, nude court shoes from Christian Louboutin, necklace from Primark and rings from Forever 21, H&M and Primark.

I am a fan of Karl Lagerfeld. It is not just for the undebatable talent the man possess; it is also for his personality and individuality (as a person, as well as a designer). Oh, yeah, and Choupette, of course.
Emma-Kate Francis Calla Lily Pendant from JewelStreet
I’m a huge fan of pearls; always been – when I was a little girl, I had the prettiest pearl earrings and ring.
Fast forward many years, they are still part of my wardrobe, and the latest addition, Emma-Kate Francis Calla Lily necklace, from JewelStreet, is definitely the star of the lot.
Preview: “Shoes: Pleasure and Pain” at the V&A London
When I heard my beloved V&A was going to open an exhibition called “Shoes: Pleasure and Pain” I was filled with excitement, after all, it focuses around my magic word: shoes.
Not only that, it looks at footwear extremes, a subject, in fact, I am particularly fascinated by. On top of it, these 250 pairs, spanning 2,000 years, 20 countries and 70 designers, chart cultural, sociological and historical significance of shoes, as well as their power of transformation, which I can personally vouch for. And obsession.
You can read my squees of excitement here when I found out about the exhibition – so you can only imagine the extra loud squee for me being at the preview and seeing it all three days before it opened to the public.
Dani’s Little Book of Fashion: That 70’s show
This summer, the 70s trend is all over the place – I am actually get to the point I am getting a bit bored of it. Still, it is a pretty trend and very wearable, with elements that are easy to incorporate in our wardrobes.
For this Little Book of Fashion, I created this modern all-in 70s look, with flares, a gypsy top, platforms, fringes and a floppy hat.
Magnum Pink and Black Regent Street takeover party
Magnum ice cream took over regent Street in London once again. This year the party was bigger and better – not only they painted the street pink and black, but they also lit up the London Eye in one of the ice-creams new flavours’ colours.
BFI Marilyn Monroe season
Marilyn Monroe season has been declared by by the BFI Southbank. How much love do we have for them now?
In June, the star’s birthday month, they are screening 15 films starring one of Hollywood’s most iconic actresses, including some rarely-screened ones (like We’re Not Married and Clash By Night), in partnership with Stylist Magazine.
Apart from Hollywood starlet, sex-symbol and tragic heroin, Monroe is also a fashion icon, having donned one of dresses that made fashion history to grace her famous curves – who can forget the white halterneck with flowing skirt (by costume designer William Travilla) over a New York City subway grate, from the 1955 film Seven Year Itch?
Cinematic and fashion history birds with one stone, I say.
To buy tickets, head to the BFI website, where you can also explore more about Marilyn.
Dani’s Little Book of Fashion: Festival ready
As summer approaches (really slowly it seems), so do all the various festivals – from Glasto to local, more intimate affairs, the UK has festivals for all tastes.
Fashion news: Balmain x H&M collaboration announced

Not that Olivier Rousteing needs a high street collab to become even more relevant. Not at all, but he prodigy at the reins of Balmain is about to give the high street sexy hot – and enlisted a couple of friends to help him along the way (again, not that he needs that either!).
