Lovely :

Love this photo. Alexa you absolute sweetheart, and no, I am not jealous of Tavi the ingenius child blogger, fashion's most recent dahling... check out the stylish pair pulling face at photographers whilst waiting for the Chanel Haute Couture show to begin. Not a bad life then, eh?

Tonight the stars were shining bright :

So having trawled through all of Style.com's coverage of the Costume Institute Gala, I must say I'm rather disappointed. With 'Model as Muse' as the theme of the night, I was expecting some great pairings, and even greater outfits. My usual muse, Leighton Meester shocked me a little, in a Louis Vuitton dress with matching, clashing (it is possible, trust me!) leggings. If she'd have perhaps left the leggings at home I would have loved the look a little more. Such a shame, she's a stunner.
Not to dwell on the negative, here are some of my favourites from last night;

#1. Kate Bosworth in Stella McCartney

I loved this look from the off, and loved it further when I found out that it was by Stella. Just lovely.

#2. Liv Tyler, Kate Hudson and Stella McCartney, all wearing (you guessed it), Stella McCartney. All three look stunning but I particularly love Stella's jumpsuit. She looks gorgeous.



#3. Diane Kruger in Chanel.
She is so beautiful, I love the entire look... the colour, length, hair, shoes, clutch. Just love.


# 4. Gisele in Versace.
I'm not usually a Versace fan, but you can't deny that Gisele is looking hot right here! The colour is great and the dress shows off her enviable, mile-long pins. If you have it, flaunt it, after all!


#5. Michelle Alves in Marchesa.
Now this is how to do pregnant goddess! Wow!



Also looking fabulous last night were Coco Rocha (on top form! she looked every inch the super model she is), Jessica Stam, and Miranda Kerr, although I can't find photos that do them enough justice yet. I'll try and post them asap. (photo credit : Style.com)xoxo

Sprreeeeeee!

I've not indulged in a while... so today I thought I'd treat myself. Some after-work retail therapy resulted in me finallly getting that nail varnish I've been pining after since my visit to the states, and some shoes from le TopShop that I've had my eye on for ages!

Here they are :)

wooo! (...and the heels were only £35 in the sale :) absolute bargain I think...!)

I ♥ Chanel Le Vernis - Miami Peach

I am copyrighting this colour (if you can do that!) for summer. I found this Chanel nail varnish at JFK airport on the way home from New York... and I fell in love with it! I will be wearing it with everything... and am planning on having an entire summer wardrobe based around Miami Peach - or Coral, as it's more commonly known. Coral and nudes as seen on the runways of Chloé and Stella McCartney is the way I'm heading for Summer 09. Now all I need is some sunshine...

Recession and Chanel?

I might be wrong on this, however I never expected to see the words 'Sale' and 'Chanel' advertised together.

Check out this Sale advert for Chanel, published in a recent copy of the Telegraph newspaper, showing us that maybe the 'r' word does affect the aspirational brands after all?

I'm not complaining!
