Michelle gets my *cute* vote of the week

Michelle gets my *cute* vote of the week
It’s funny that Michelle Williams‘ new film is called Meek’s Cutoff, because that’s exactly what she’s done to her hair, had it all cut off. Arriving at the 67th Venice Film Festival for the movie’s premiere, Williams’ rocked her new white blonde elfin crop on the red carpet, which I LOVE – sadly, I didn’t much love the dove grey silk embroidered Jason Wu gown and Louboutin slingbacks –... 

Just fancied a picnic did you Christina?

Just fancied a picnic did you Christina?
Picnic table chic is obviously something that’s evaded me. Difficult you would think when gingham usually just screams at you. (For the record, I’ve never worn it). So imagine my poor eyes when I clocked Christina Ricci in Hollywood-land wearing something that obviously blew around the park for a while and if she hadn’t caught it, the dude who usually sleeps on the bench would’ve. An apron-style topped red and white gingham... 

When jumpsuits go bad…

When jumpsuits go bad…
If you’ve ever seen Cirque du Soleil, than you’d be forgiven for thinking Bjork has run away and joined the circus. But not so. Instead, she ACTUALLY wore this oompa-loompa’ish get-up to the Polar Music Prize 2010 in Stockholm, maintaining her non-conventional wardrobe ways – or avant-garde if you want to sound really fashionista wordy like. Quality street wrapper springs to mind (you know, the purple hazlenut one there’s... 

Look, it’s Lady Liberty!

Look, it’s Lady Liberty!
“She’s like the homeless statue of liberty”. Gaga Daily Only I don’t remember ever seeing Marc Jacobs hanging around her with a shopping trolley, but heh, in New York, anything can happen – and if my life is anything to go by, it usually does. But that’s another story. The singer and designer have appeared on the cover of V Magazine’s New York edition, shot by photographer Mario Testino and styled by Nicola... 

H&M reveals new designer collaboration…Bonjour Lanvin!

H&M reveals new designer collaboration…Bonjour Lanvin!
Lagerfeld, McCartney, Cavalli, Williamson, Rykiel, and the Choo have all done it? What? I hear you ask. Collaborated with fashion giants H&M – and now Lanvin are following suit. Yep, after speculation earlier this week that a new designer hook-up was on the cards – and viral videos leaked online which hinted at Bottega Veneta’s Tomas Maier and Carolina Herrera, among others - it’s been officially announced by WWD that... 

Chandeliers on the feet? I think not

Chandeliers on the feet? I think not
There’s a reason they’re meant to be hung on the ceiling. And that’s all I have to say about that really. So frosting your feet in a crystal chandelier style Lucite heel, courtesy of Miuccia Prada’s Spring 2010 runway collection is something that needs to be done carefully – I’m thinking Julianne Moore’s character in A Single Man would have pulled this look off perfectly darling, for we all j’adore the... 

Now fashion goes 3D

Now fashion goes 3D
Everyone’s gone three dimensional, but forget the movies, now it’s fashion’s turn with mod Miranda Kerr posing for the September issue of Vogue Italia shot by Stephen Meisel…in nekkid 3D! *So this is what it feels like to be Orlando Bloom huh* I could go on about how amazing this new fashion frontier is – bringing moda on the printed page to life  - giving readers a 22 page shoot that will stay imprinted on their style-dominated... 

Bleu du Chanel certainly doesn’t make me blue!

Bleu du Chanel certainly doesn’t make me blue!
Just in case you wanted to know, this is my ideal man: French actor, Gaspard Ulliel. So there. And here he is in the new ad for men’s fragrance Bleu de Chanel directed by Martin Scorsese also featuring Ingrid Schram and Amalie Bruun. Oh and the backing track is “She Said Yeah” by The Rolling Stones….because if he asked me out, “I’d Say Yeah”.

It’s Wang-Tastic!

It’s Wang-Tastic!
I can hear the Wang-nista’s of London already clicking online to book their NYC plane tickets, with the news that Alexander Wang is to open his very first flagship store at 103 Grand St. by the end of this year. (Capital ‘H’ for Hoorah) The boutique will be in a space which once housed a Yohji Yamamoto store and despite keeping many details under wraps for now, Wang did say this of the locale: “It’s a perfect, iconic... 

Mad Men and The Trench….

Mad Men and The Trench….
Following in the footsteps of Eva Longoria and Gisele Bundchen, look who’s the new face of the London Fog A/W ’10 ad campaign – yes, it’s Christina Hendricks (as in Joan Harris in Mad Men, just in case you were like, “who”?). The red head (not that you can tell in the B&W snaps but she is) models the brand’s outerwear and accessories collection – and also throws in a few curves just to give it that...
