Three Words. Eight Letters.

In honour of my favourite fictional on/off couple and in recognition of tonights finale episode I thought it apt to leave you with this... Just like Romeo and Juliet, Barbie and Ken, Carrie and Mr. Big, Fred and Wilma...they will go down with the great loves in silver screen history! xoxo

Best In Show

Best Dressed lists are littering the pages in every glossy at the moment, counting down the finest fashionistas to reveal who is worthy of sporting the fashion crown. I decided to compile my very own list. My criteria was simple, who is the most striking at the big events, not afraid to mix it up a bit and looks just as effortlessly chic during the day, when the line of paps aren’t flashing away! After careful consideration, scrolling through blog after blog and flicking through more magazines than you can imagine, I finally came up with my top 9 front runners...


At #1 Olivia Palermo 2 Caroline Sieber 3 Jameela Jamil 4 Rachel Bilson 5 Diane Kruger 6 Fearne Cotton 7 Alexa Chung, 8 Sarah Jessica Parker 9 Isabel Lucas

Because We Cannes

It’s that time of year again, where the creme de la creme of A listers flock to the French riviera for the annual Cannes Film Festival. The fashion stakes are always high at said event, but this year for me it was Rachel McAdams who stole the show. By day Rachel wore a crisp, white Maxime Simoens number, trimmed with camellia flowers on the shoulders and pockets. By night she stepped out in a ruby silk Marchesa AW 11 dress with illusion cap sleeves and tulle skirt. And extra brownie points for Rach as she ditched the conforming frock on the red carpet and opted for the high waisted trouser and bustier combo, from Monique Lhuillier. Simply stunning.

Pretty Pleats

I was casually flicking through a copy of Glamour whilst on the train to London yesterday, when I came across this picture of starlet Amanda Seyfried. I instantly fell in L.O.V.E with the dress! Grape is very on trend for the season, French Connection have got a beautiful selection in a splinter line off their SS11. The horizontal pleats are a fresh approach, so many designers are sticking to vertical, so it’s a welcomed change to the season. The jeweled collar is the icing on the cake and enough to make Olivia Palermo a little green-eyed!

As I strolled down Mount Street I cast an eye in Lanvin window and what did I see...The Dress! Did I buy it? Ofcourse I didn’t, its probably more that half a years rent. I did however gaze in, head tipped slightly to one side and wished very very hard that I’d win the euromillions. I didn’t *tear*.

Upper East Side Story

Tonight saw the long awaited return of my favourite show on TV, Gossip Girl. In homage of this landmark occasion I have chosen a few of my front runners in the fashion stakes from seasons gone by... You know you love them, xoxo

Oh Coachella!

The infamous Californian music festival is renowned for its vast choice of bands and artists (headlining this year, Kanye West, Arcade Fire and Kings of Leon to name but a few) but also for its fashion. Coachella is always swarmed with style savvy celebs, and this year is no exception. Between them I think its safe to say they have got every season trend covered, Diane is channeling the 70s boho, Alexa and Whitney have got the LWD (little white dress) covered, Isabel Lucas is very on trend with the pastel hue maxi and snaps for Camilla Belle showing off a little broderie anglaise detailing. Good job girls!

Lady In Red

Gossip Girl actress Blake Lively wowed crowds in Las Vegas with her, as ever, epic wardrobe choice and never-ending legs, for the annual CinemaCon Convention at the Caesars Palace Hotel. She was wearing the most amazing embroidered crimson silk, ruffled delight from the one and only Marchesa collection. Adding to this enchanting outfit, were multi coloured Brian Atwood heels. Just beautiful. To top the night off Blake didn’t walk away empty handed, she picked up the Breakthrough Performer of the Year award. Go Blake!

A 'Vogue' Idea

Can you believe that Grace Coddington, the creative genius behind the US Vogue fashion shoots has just turned 70? No, me neither. Grace, with her gutsy opinions and signature flaming red hair came out from behind the scenes in the intriguing documentary ‘The September Issue’ (a movie which I could sit and watch daily), outshining Ms Wintour, the leading lady. She is responsible for the photo shoot spreads in the magazing, dreaming up fantasy worlds and bringing them to life. She takes photography to another level and captures the reader. Another gift that Grace boasts is the ability to make Anna Wintour change her mind, a huge accomplishment, which stems from a lifetime of their love/hate relationship.

Grace was born in Anglesey, Wales. She started modeling after winning a competition, then got in to British Vogue, and worked her way up from a Junior Editor, and well, the rest is history. She has spent 50 years in an industry that is probably the most fierce, and is one of, if not, the most influential figure in the fashion world.

Grace is a visionary, she has the skill to create what other people couldn’t even dream up in their heads. She is famous for producing the most stunning and detailed pages of fashion editorials, I dread to think what would happen when she decided to retire from it all. But lets try not think about that, instead feast your eyes on some of her finest shoots...

Oh and a Happy belated Birthday to you Gracey!

Here comes the Summer...

Tomorrow marks the first bbq of the season for me, bit ambitious I know seeming as it is only April. To celebrate this joyous milestone I’ve picked out my perfect outfit. French Connection have got some beautys in for the S/S season, I’m loving this animal print dress, it’s ideal to throw on with a pair of loafers for a wander round town by day and then you can dress it up with a stack of gold bangles and these 70s inspired chunky platform sandals for those long summer evenings. There’s only one thing left, bring on the pimms...

Queen of the High Street

First it was Alexa, then there was Miquita and now it’s Jameela who is still going strong carrying the T4 fashion batton, and doesn’t she do it well. She’s been on our screens for a while now and never, ever, ever disappoints with her outfits. She is the best dressed lady on TV, and is famous for styling herself. Despite her high profile she is proud to be Queen of the Highstreet, officially my fashion crush of the moment.

I have recently become a teeny bit obsessed with her style blog on the T4 website and love waiting to see what stunning and effortless ensemble she’ll pull off next. She is an absolute beaut and I long for her wardrobe, trademark fringe and luscious long locks. She’s come a long way from the girl-next-door, she’s still got that out spoken and down to earth sense of humour, but stardom has only intensified her offbeat outfits, and that ladies and gentlemen, is why we love her.

A bad case of S.S.E...

Louis’ got a brand new bag...

Vuitton, that is. The LV’s infamous “Speedy” bag has been seen on the arm of many a style icon for decades, from Audrey to Aggy. So it came as no surprise to hear that the lady fronting the launch of the updated version, the “Bandoulière”, is super stylish FROWer (fashion show front-row resident) Caroline Sieber. And who could be more perfect to head a campaign for such an influential and luxury fashion house. The “Bandoulière”, which literally translated means worn across the shoulder, features the timeless monogram print and additional shoulder strap. It is available in four sizes and already set to be an instant sell out when it arrives in stores on May 1st. If your looking to splurge on a classic piece that will never go out of style, then you’ve just found it.
