Fashion: Mary Katrantzou for Topshop

Friday 17th February is exciting for 3 reasons. 1 - I'll be heading to London to spend a hedonistic weekend with my brother, pretending we casually mingle in a world we quite obviously don't regularly reside in. (Afternoon tea at the Dorchester, anyone?) 2 - it's the launch of London Fashion Week. And 3 - Mary Katrantzou's collection for Topshop hits stores nationwide. I quite honestly don't know which one I'm more excited for. 

While prices start at £40, the dresses do reach the three figures. Yes, compared to her mainline this is a Katrantzou bargain, but a dress in the three hundred pound region would still constitute a splurge of significant proportions from my wallet unfortunately. I'm seriously disappointed by the price tags as I absolutely love Mary's collections, so I was, and am, genuinely incredibly excited about this collaboration; not to mention the fact that it's absolutely stunning and the dresses look like they've been plucked straight from her RTW runway. 

My birthday is just under a month away and the dress below would be an absolute dream to wear for it. I'll be wishing for it when I blow out my candles....


What do you think of the collaboration? Will you be buying or are you waiting it out for Marni x H&M?

    1. I also love the blue trousers. Typical that I love the most expensive pieces. A scarf just won't cut it!
