Leona Edmiston AW2011 Collection

Now it's no secret I love Leona Edmiston. The lady, the frocks, everything. Over the years I have amassed a large collection of her dresses - all are stylish, most are timeless and some are my favourite dresses of all time. A big call given the number of dresses I own.

Her new collection is no exception - filled with gorgeous dresses and gowns, each more beautiful than the last. The first few drops of the season are already in story and I can confidently say that this collection will not disappoint. All the dresses so far are gorgeous.

Here are a few of my picks of the season:

Brandy: I love the gorgeous floral print - it reminds me of a Renoir painting. The style is very chic and I see this as a frock that will last well into the Spring with it's pretty rosy pattern. The shape is likely to be very flattering also - the bell sleeves are classic and the deep V neckline is subtle enough for the office but sexy enough for a dinner for two.

Sunny: I'm a sucker for a Maxi dress and this is an absolute winner. It's in store already and the combination of the scoop neckline and the floral hem rising up the dress makes for a stunning piece. It's selling fast so I'd get in soon if you are interested. There is a shorter version (with a boat neckline - Uma) but of the two I think this is the nicer dress.


Olivia: the same print as the Brandy, this dress is a perfect addition to the winter wardrobe. It's feminine, stylish and the cowl neckline is super flattering. It also comes in a pretty fuchsia colour.


Fern: another dress that is already in store, this 1940's throwback comes in the gorgeous moss colour you see here and a pretty dark red (rust). Both are stunning. The cinched waist, scooped neckline and full skirt make for a very flattering silhouette.


Vita: This dress isn't one that is going to suit me I don't think but I adore it's McQueen-esque print and the pretty flared skirt. It's a definite work of art. A showstopper. People will talk when you enter the party in this outfit and it will all be positive.


Tammy: A classic Leona design, the flared skirt and boat neckline will suit most people. The plain black is thrown into relief by the unusual but pretty lace insert. I can't wait to try this one on.


Jessica: Probably my favourite dress of this season. I adore it's homage to Mad Men. Very Joan Holloway-Harris. The colour is divine, the style very sexy secretary. Perfect with a strand of gumball sized pearls, a satin clutch, bright red lipstick and a martini. Chin chin darling.

Of course this isn't the full list of the dresses I love - just a smattering of the creme de la creme. For more of the collection visit Leona's website.
