Please enjoy her photos and if anyone has anything they'd like to share, please contact me on twitter (@VBstyle822) so I can lookout for your email.. you all know I always have issues with mine!

Thank you so much Martina for sending these wonderful photos! I really appreciate it! :)

Celebrities in VB: Claire Danes in VB Fall 2011 - #123

The color is amazing on her!

In VB's Closet: Victoria Beckham Spring 2011 - #76

While out shopping with her daughter, Victoria looked amazing in the bubble gum pink Cap Sleeve Tunic dress, #76, from her spring 2011 collection. She paired the dress with self designed sunglasses, her favorite nude Daffodile pumps, and a mini Victoria tote bag. I absolutely adore this color on her! It's so nice to see her in a light shade as opposed to the usual uniform black we see her in. And she still amazes me in regards to how she balances on those Daffs while carrying a baby!

Video: Clips of the Victoria Beckham Spring 2012 Presentation

Victoria is visible in this clip as the young woman who recorded it sat directly behind her...

Reviews: WWD

Not everyone has boarded spring’s printed wagon. On Sunday morning, at least one respite from the season’s early visual frenzy looked plenty inviting. Victoria Beckham showed what was, despite protestations that “it’s still a presentation,” her first full show, at the New York Public Library. She didn’t make the move lightly, opting for revved-up styling (Marie-Amélie Sauvé is now on the case) and a spiffy collaboration with Stephen Jones that resulted in crushed engineer caps with a pleasant dash of “It” girl attitude.

Beckham has always been her own sounding board; as such, a personal pragmatism underscores her work. Now mom to daughter Harper as well as three boys, she’s “excited to wear clothes again.” (Nine weeks after giving birth, she looks as slim as ever.) That doesn’t mean she’s into fashion confinement. Though she sent out a few of her curvaceous standards, the news came in easy lines with a modicum of Mod, the mood rendered via structured shapes and fabrics, colorblocking and, once or twice, a naughty sheer inset at the hips where a belt might otherwise go. When she went softer, it was with pleated crepe skirts attached externally to techno-stretch bodices. Along the way, Beckham’s mostly discreet palette — black, navy, white — got injections of vibrant orange.

She amped up her outerwear, shown in gorgeous iridescent pales of lilac, blue and gray. Here, she crossed what she called couture volumes with the hoods, drawstring and tapes of the athletic vernacular. Worn over crisp, short dresses, these pulsed with a distinct sportswear vibe. Asked if that category is next on the agenda, Beckham was noncommittal, but don’t be surprised.

Reviews: Nicole Phelps of Style.com

A bell gonged as guests shuffled around before Victoria Beckham's show, and the crowd hushed to observe a moment of silence in honor of the September 11 victims. Fashion marches relentlessly on. VB was still Posh Spice ten years ago; her rapidly expanding clothing and accessory brand not yet in its infancy. Today was her first full-scale runway show, but she's hardly a beginner.

Beckham wasted no time establishing her signature: hourglass dresses as rigorously constructed on the inside as they are streamlined on the outside. Season by season, in perfectionist fashion, she's added new elements: volume, print, embroideries, a bag range, and now, for Spring, a timely new interest in utility and sport.

The stretchy hourglass dresses are still here, still ridiculously sexy, but now they have sturdy, buff-gray nylon straps and D-rings—even the long, evening version. Joining them on the catwalk at the New York Public Library were short, easy shifts, some inset with a horizontal stripe of sheer mesh, worn with what had to be VB's first-ever flat sandal. Has having her fourth baby inspired this more practical bent? Could be: Outerwear, though cut in double-faced satin, was on the boxy side with sporty rolled sleeves and hoods. And soft shoulder bags and oversize totes are now in the mix alongside her signature constructed frame bags.

But what's life without a little glamour? The wide bands of navy and safety orange on a clingy sheath prove you can still depend on Beckham for exactly that.

Victoria Beckham Spring 2012

Now in her seventh season, you can really see that Victoria Beckham grows more and more as a designer with each collection. For spring 2012, there was much less black than we are used to seeing. Instead, she showcased several cream colored frocks and embraced the color blocking trend (specifically blues and oranges) we saw this past spring/summer. This collection also gave off a sportier vibe with looks that seemed to be inspired by athletes (hmm.. wonder where the inspiration came from) with patent baseball caps sitting atop the heads of her models, flat footwear, and parachute-esque jackets. Another trend I think she drew inspiration from was military styles because a lot of buckles were present this season as were geometric prints.

All in all I liked this collection a lot and I'm anxious to see it hit the bodies of celebrities all around the world. Some of my favorites were #3, 6, 9, 14, 21, and 26. I can see Victoria wearing #5, 6, 7, 9, 19, and 21 for sure! The only aspect of this show that I was not a fan of was the leather leggings and the baggy leather boots (all shoes were by Christian Louboutin again). I just don't see how they fit into a spring season when everything is supposed to be light and airy, but they definitely put the power on the runway!

What did you all think of this collection? Leave your favorite/least favorite numbers in the comments!

In VB's Closet: Victoria Beckham & Christian Louboutin

For her first day in New York City yesterday, Victoria Beckham chose a lovely self-designed cranberry dress from her fall 2011 collection. This dress is #106 and it is the sleeveless square neck piece. Needless to say, it's stunning on her. I particularly like the length on her and how the silhouette is very structured on top but from the waist down it becomes a bit more forgiving and flowy without being overly dramatic.

For her footwear, she chose a pair of Christian Louboutin for Victoria Beckham boots which were presented during her fall 2011 fashion show as part of her collaboration with the shoe designer. These boots are called the Vicky Botta knee high boot and are a fabulous taupe shade.

Celebrities in VB: Kate Winslet in Victoria Beckham Fall 2011 - #109

Actress Kate Winslet attended the "Carnage" premiere at the Palazzo Del Cinema during the 68th Venice Film Festival in Venice, Italy today wearing a fabulous Victoria Beckham fall 2011 dress. Kate is very much a fan of VB's designs and it's easy to see why... they fit her like a glove! This dark sand colored Open Neck Fitted dress, #109, hugged her in all the right places and the structured neckline makes her incredible facial features pop! I'm completely in love with her Jimmy Choo shoes as well! They were the perfect touch of sparkle to a rather understatedly elegant look! Stunning!

Celebrities in VB: Kim Kardashin in Victoria Beckham Fall 2010 - #71

Kim Kardashian and her new husband Kris Humphries recently landed in NYC while Kim films the second season of Kourtney & Kim Take New York with her eldest sister. To welcome the newlyweds to the City, Kim's BFF Lala Anthony hosted a chic party called A Night of Style & Glamour at Capitale in NYC last night. To the event, Kim, who is no stranger to the glamorous life, stunned in a champagne dress from Victoria's fall 2010 collection. She wore the drape floor length dress, aka the "seat belt dress", without the sash and the end result was a simply stunning look!



This is not the first time Kim wore this dress. The reality star wore it during a photo shoot for WMB magazine in which she was the worlds first 3D magazine cover girl (the photo above is in 3D which is why the color looks extremely blurred).

Kelly Rowland Would Love Victoria to Style Her!

Kelly Rowland would love Victoria Beckham to dress her for X Factor, revealing she is a “huge fan”.



It was recently reported that the singer-turned-fashion designer was keen to choose Kelly’s outfits for the live shows of the UK TV series. Kelly hasn’t yet discussed the proposal with Victoria, but is impressed by the star’s collections.



“I love my orange Victoria Beckham dress paired with my blue Louboutin heels. I heard a rumour that she offered to dress me for the live shows, but she hasn’t been in touch directly,” she told Grazia. “I do buy her clothes a lot, though – I’m a huge fan.”



“I want my look to be grown up and sexy, but also intelligent. I’m a judge and I want to be taken seriously as a judge,” she explained. “And I am doing a British show, so out of respect, I really want to wear more British designers. I’ve been a fan of Stella McCartney for a long time, and of McQueen, but my stylists have introduced me to new British designers, like Bass & Brooks, which I LOVE.”

Celebrities in VB: Frieda Pinto in Victoria Beckham Spring 2011

Actress Frieda Pinto was a guest on The Late Show with Jimmy Fallon earlier this week and to the taping, she wore a chic flesh-toned Victoria Beckham spring 2011 shift dress with white ankle strap sandals, a neat ponytail, and minimal makeup.



I think she looked amazing in this dress. The color was fabulous on her skin tone and I don't usually like white sandals at all, but these work nicely with the banded white bottom of the dress.



Freida was on the show to promote her new movie, The Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

Who Wore it Better: Victoria, Carol, Selita, or Giada?

Four fabulous women have all worn the cut out fitted dress, #40, from Victoria's spring 2010 collection over the span of the past three years. Each woman has made the dress uniquely theres buy adding different accessories, hairstyles, and shoes.

Victoria was first to wear this piece during London Fashion week back in 2009. She added her signature over sized sunglasses, matching dove gray YSL pumps, a headband, and minimal jewelry to make it hers. VS model Selita Ebanks was second to wear it to an event where she paired it with sequin Louboutin pumps, a silver clutch, simple jewelry (which consisted of a bangle, diamond studs, and a ring), and a chic hair do that put her gorgeous face on full display. Carol Vorderman, a huge fan of Victoria's dresses, was third to wear it and she paired the dress with nude Louboutin peep toe maryjanes, a silver bracelet, and heavy eye make up. Celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis was the most recent celebrity to don this VB design and she kept it to a minimal by removing the gross grain belt and hip wings and adding an elegant up do and nude peep toes.

So who wore it better? For me, this is a tie between Victoria and Selita who both rocked the hell outta this dress. Carol's hair, makeup, and shoes don't really work for me and Giada looks a bit too plain jane. What do you all think?
