At Home With Julia Restoin-Roitfeld

I'm sure most of you are aware of the newly launched fashion website Fashionair. I just got round to having a look and there are loads of videos worth watching. You can spend the day in Paris with Erin Fetherston or hear the stories behoined iconic photographer Ellen Von Unwerth's favourite photographs.
My favourite video has to be of Julia Restoin Roitfeld in her closet showing off her favourite items of clothing. You'll note how much she seems to love wearing black, which she describes as "one of the colours that look good on me. It's a bit more glamorous and a bit more rock at the same time."
She also confesses to stealing a pair of Pucci shoes [third image down] from Carine. "And I'm not really planning on returning them," she says. If only my mum had Pucci shoes lying around waiting to be stolen...






You can watch the video HERE.

Fashionair will also be holding castings for a new Fashionair presenter every evening from September 17th till the 26th in a video booth at Selfridges, London. Just go to Women’s Street Fashion on the ground floor to get involved.

Fashion's Night Out - London

I keep reading about Fashion's Night Out (September 10th) in New York and getting extremely jealous that I won't be able to be served in a store by Jessica Stam (at Rag & Bone) or see Anna Wintour in Queens. But there's some equally amazing stuff happening in London for Fashion's Night Out too.
Want to be styled by Jourdan Dunn? Head to Topshop on Oxford Street (between 8 and 9pm). Or eat black ice cream at Selfridges. Or you could watch a Vogue shoot happen live in the Chanel store on Bond Street (between 7 and 8pm).

And, of course, there's the Fashion's Night Out tee. Those of you in the States can get the exclusive Alexander Wang tee, modeled above left on Lily Donaldson. In the UK there's the t-shirt designed by Vogue fashion director Lucinda Chambers and illustrated by Martin Welch. I have to say I prefer the UK version - I love chains. You can view the list of London shops that will be selling the limited edition top on the 10th HERE.

Now I just have to decide what to do on the 10th. Do any of you already have a plan of action?

American Pie



It's a Madonna morning.
Some days you just need some Madonna to start the day. I loved how she wore loads of denim for the Music album. Madonna looks amazing in jeans.

Musical Chairs







I love an odd piece of headwaear, whether it is a glove worn as a hat at Dolce and Gabbana or lace Mikey Mouse ears on Ashley Olsen. Chairs though, I hadn't thought of.

Not Impressed



I tried to refrain from blogging about the Sex and the City Movie filming going on at the moment because I hate the idea of a second movie. But then I saw the above image, which is beyond terrible. There are three possibilities for this look, they are:

A) There will be a flashback of Carrie from the 1980's. This idea sucks because however wonderful SJP is she doesn't look 20, not one bit, therefore it will look stupid. And they never did flashbacks in the show, mainly because the show wasn't cheesy.

B) This is how Carrie copes with the recession. If this is the case they may as well stop filming now.

C) This is a distraction technique used by the crew to make us think one of the above points. If so maybe they should stop wasting time and work on making a decent film - one with no corny or clichéd flashbacks from the past.

At least she later looked pretty in a nice purple dress.



I have to ask, does anyone actually care what happens next to Carrie, Sam, Charlotte and Miranda? I love the show soooo much but I really think enough is enough.

Shoes & More Shoes

Yesterday I popped into the Shudoo offices, where the lovely team gave me some really cute Hoss Intropia flats. I love yellow shoes, for some odd reason they remind me of Cameron Diaz, who I have admittedly only seen wear yellow shoes once, but it must have been special as the memory stuck. Because they’re such a great colour I’m displaying them on the new issue of POP (which by the way is insanely good).

If you’re not familiar with Shuddo, and if the name didn’t already give it away, it’s an online retailer totally dedicated to shoes. They have such an incredible selection of brands; highlights include Ash, Carvela, French Sole, Steve Madden and UGG Australia. Plus the postage is free – you have no idea how much I resent paying £6 for things as light as T-shirts to be delivered to me.

At the moment Shudoo has a fab sale on (where you can buy the same Hoss shoes as me). French Sole shoes from £40? How can you say no?


I also found some Dune shoes with look slightly Loubou for £110. It looks like leopard print boots are going to be all over the highstreet this Autumn.

Would You Rather: Part Two

The last Would You Rather post [click here if you missed it] was shockingly popular. I guess we just love choosing between two things. So here are some more decisions for you to make... And remember you can't choose both, that's cheating.








Don't forget to share your choices in the comments section, where you can also read my selection.
