So the new season is starting to hit stores and Mr Porter already have a fine selection of items to covet.
I have picked a few of my favourites that will most definitely be appearing on my wishlist.
Raf Simons jumper – £160
Givenchy jumper – £300
Yves Saint Laurent t-shirt – £180
Balenciaga jumper – £245
Acne shoes – £360
I have compiled a mini shopping list of pieces I’d give my right arm for from the Givenchy AW’12 collection.
All of these pieces are available to pre-order from LuisaViaRoma.com and I’m just putting it out there – if anyone would like to order me any of these items please feel free…I would be eternally grateful!
American House Oversized T-Shirt – £228.81
I love this t-shirt… Reminds me of 80s American horror movies!
Angel Print Oversized T-Shirt – £303.19
So gothic and haunting.
Stars & Stripes Shirt – £323.40
Anything with a star and I am there!
Skirted Shorts – £253.87
I have wanted to try this trend for ages but couldn’t justify the cost… Now these skirted shorts are both affordable and versatile.
Fringed Buckle Shoes – £448.72
Love a good chunky shoe with extra detailing…
Contrast Stitch Low Boots – £440.63
These are very similar to the boots from AW’11 that I loved but never bought… Price-wise they’re affordable and style-wise they’re unique and uber-cool.
Obsedia Silk Crepe De Chine Scarf – £181.10
Super cool bandana style scarf in an amazing print.
Small Metal Nose Ring – £169.79
What better way to finish off a Givenchy ensemble than with a nose ring!
I was browsing the latest additions to the Mr Porter website this morning and was pleased to see some delectable jumpers from the AW’12 collections available to buy now!
Below are my top picks:
Givenchy – £270
Jil Sander – £430
Jil Sander – £430
Yves Saint Laurent – £450
I’m most definitely lusting after the Givenchy ‘shark’ jumper as well as the amaze-balls Jil Sander ‘whale’ one!!
Fancy treating yourself to a slice of Givenchy SS’12 but don’t fancy the steep prices?
Well head on over to LuisaViaRoma.com and grab yourself this bandana scarf!
Yours for a cheeky £57.34 including FREE SHIPPING.

I have lost count of the number of posts I have created on Givenchy and I’m afraid to say this is yet another one!
I loved the SS’12 collection but I was mightily shocked at how expensive everything from it was. I appreciate that each piece is of exceptional quality and that the clothes are unique and make a statement but I find it difficult to justify £435 for a t-shirt or £850 for a pair of jeans.
Pay day is around the corner and I am desperate to get my hands on one of the catwalk pieces before they’re all snapped up. I think I might just have to bite my lip and stump up the cash for this amazing t-shirt. I love the print, the colours and the oversized fit.
£435 from Mr Porter
My obsession with the Rottweiler motif from Givenchy continues…
£235 from Mr Porter
Leather Jacket – Rick Owens: £1,520; Sleeveless T-Shirt – Raf Simons: £120; Bermuda Shorts – Givenchy: £550; Hi-Top Trainers – Rick Owens: £775; Sunglasses – Ray Ban: £120; Bag – Balenciaga: £815
All clothing, shoes and accessories are available from Mr Porter
In love with this collection. What we have come to expect from the house of Givenchy. Wearable with a statement edge.
I can’t wait to see what Mr Tisci has up his sleeve for the main AW’12 line.
