Unfortunately this is not a blog post where I'll be reviewing the products or showing you all something that I have bought - I do not have the pennies to pay for these dream items! However I cannot get over how much I love this incredible collection so I decided that even though I won't be owning any of it, I'm gonna blog about it.

Recently I was lucky enough to travel Italy, where every city has a Dolce & Gabbana store, which meant I got to spend a fair amount of time lusting after their window displays - yeah that means I wasn't brave enough to go in wearing my grubby travelling clothes.

The Italian Fashion house has often incorporated a theme of traditional Italian Majolica ceramics in their collections, their new one being no exception. The Fall Winter 2016 preview collection has used tile motifs in a tonal blue and white colour pallet to create a playful, pretty and feminine print that is very in keeping with the brand's Mediterranean heritage.

If I was to miraculously win the lottery and be in a position where I could purchase one of the Winter 2016 preview pieces, I would definitely choose the Printed Silk Minidress. I think this dress would be ideal to wear to a summer wedding, holiday dinner, family barbecue and so many more occasions. It's a comfortable shape that could be easily dressed up and dressed down and even though the price is a tad out my budget at £1,850, I honestly think I could wear it enough that I would get my money's worth! Not to mention the fact that it is a timeless Dolce & Gabbana design meaning it could stay in your wardrobe forever and ever.

Unfortunately, even though I've just managed to justify it to myself, until the Euro-millions announces me as the next winner I can only dream of owning any of these. I hope you've enjoyed lusting over these images with me anyway and I'm sure I won't be the only one on the hunt for high street lookalikes!
