One Night, Two Problems

Everyday I scroll through the gossip blogs to check out what's been worn the day/night before. Today I had opposite reactions to what Blake Lively and Lady Gaga wore last night. Their styles couldn't be further apart, yet they could do with swapping wardrobe tips. Because while Blake Lively was wearing too much Lady Gaga was wearing too little.


It's taken me a while but I'm now a fan of Blake's simplistic style. She rarely does print, instead sticking to block colour. And bodycon is about as experimental as she gets with silhouettes.
It's kind of boring, but this year she's made some great wardrobe choices. Although I still think she should stay away from floor-length dresses (remember that ill-fitting Versace at the Met?) as she always seems to slip up with them. This one makes her look rather dowdy.


Lady Gaga, on the other hand, is never covered up. I don't like her style, but there are times when I can appreciate it. This is not one of them. The lace bodysuit is just tacky and attention-seeking.

I'd be much more impressed if I saw Gaga wearing Erdem. With a dark lip and her current sharp haircut I think she'd look amazing in this printed maxi.


And Blake had a fabulous hot pink moment in Michael Kors earlier this year. It would be great to see her flash a bit of leg in this Marios Schwab mini.

I think it's time to play swapsies...

Chubby Is In

As you know fashion doesn't 'do' chubby. But the Chubby coat is big news this Fall. Remember Carine's pink Chubby that she wore to all the Fall shows? At first it was slightly amusing but as the weeks went by and the coat stayed on it started to look kind of perfect. Carine is always ahead of the game, because the Chubby was everywhere...



Wear Chubbies with skinny pants and statement heels to really nail the look. And if like me you don't like the idea of wearing fur (not that I could afford to anyway...) look for Chubbies in knit styles like Margiela's.
What do you think of the look? Wearable or best left to Carine?
