Best Dressed: SAG Awards


I'm not going to do a long post about the SAG's, as they've been and gone now. But I wanted to give somebody the title of 'Best Dressed', and the obvious winner is Marion Cotillard in Elie Saab.
She's already worn Dior to the Globes, but she'll likely wear another piece for the Oscars. Or will she? What label do you think she'll wear for the Academy Awards this year? I'm hoping for a bit of JPG.

Hit and Miss of the Week: When it Rains

It's rather bad that I feel this smug, but you would not believe how happy I was to see that it rained in LA this week. It's only because I am constantly seeing pictures of actresses walking around in tank tops and flip flops while in the UK we're still pulling on the UGG boots. But, obviously, the rain did not stop the women of LA dressing up. Out came the Jimmy Choo for Hunter wellies, and everyone was wearing a hat.
And over in London the story that dominated the week was the 'is Kate engaged or not?' drama. Which meant she was papped a lot this week. She's looking stylish as ever, of course. Let me know who you rate this week in the comments as always.






And also, who is styling Sandra Bullock at the moment? She looked amazing at the SAG awards in McQueen. I'm very impressed.

The Beach






A while ago I posted some photos of Kate Moss taken by Jürgen Teller in 1996. Many of you said you'd like to see more vintage Moss on Coco's Tea Party, and I just found this great shoot from the same year. 1996 was clearly a good year for Kate Moss.
The shot of her in the black lace reminds me of Dolce & Gabbana's s/s 2010 collection. Black lace for the beach? Why not?

And how J-Lo is the third image?

Put a Ring on it

At the moment I am completely obsessed with earrings and rings. Especially those that are big, colourful and make a statement. I went to see It's Complicated last night (it's good, go see it) and I just kept thinking how nice Meryl Streep's earrings were the whole time (simple gold hoops mostly, if you were wondering). I just can't get jewellery off my mind...

I actually treated myself to the pink YSL ring last week, and I've barely taken it off since. It's now my favourite piece of jewellery. Do you have any pieces that are particularly special to you, whether they're sentimental nick nacks or designer buys?

Nobody Does it Better

I think the last time I bought a copy of Vogue Paris was when I was actually in Paris late last summer. It's fair to say I've been pretty slack when it comes to buying VP lately - even though my lovely magazine man has a copy every month.
But there is no doubt about it; I will be buying the February issue. It's a Daria cover. And not just a Daria cover but a Daria in Prada cover.



The rest of the issue looks divine as well. It's filled to the brim with models. Models, models, models! I have nothing against celebrities, but you really can't beat a professional model when it comes to working the new seasons looks.
I mean, just look at Naomi Campbell below in that Michael Kors swimsuit. I think I could look at pictures of Naomi all day.




Triple the models. All in Christian Dior.

Publication: Vogue Paris, February 2010
Photographers: Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin
Stylists: Carine Roitfeld, Emmanuelle Alt and Camilla Nickerson

I don't have a favourite model of all time (far too hard to pick just one) but Naomi and Daria are both in my top ten. Who is your favourite?

New Season, About Time Too

Getting bored of the sales? Luckily there are some fabulous new season pieces hitting the online retailers this week. My-Wardrobe, which is always great for the extra-special wardrobe basics, has some lovely new goodies in. I'm loving the Pringle 1815 dress [below] and am really tempted to buy myself a pair of the pink Vivienne Westwood earrings. You can view their 'new in' section HERE.


And hitting Net-A-Porter tomorrow morning is the Halston Heritage collection, as worn by SJP in the SATC sequel. I'm in love with the orange dress below, which is also available in black. Make sure you're online bright and early tomorrow if you want a piece of HH, it's sure to sell out fast.



Which of the three Halston Heritage dresses above is your favourite?

Golden Globes: Saving the Best Until Last

In the Golden Globes post yesterday I said I felt there were far too many boring strapless dresses on the red carpet. Reading through all your lovely comments I noticed that most of you felt the same, and it's almost taken the joy and interest out of red carpet events.
Which is why it's rather fitting that the two looks from last night that I liked the best came from the after parties, where it was less formal and there was more room for individuality:


Ashley Olsen in Erdem
You know Ashley is my absolute favourite ever. And I'm a massive fan of Erdem. Together they make a beautiful, and rather unexpected pair. It's so lovely to see Ashley in a bold colour and I adore the matching Manolos.


Chloe Sevigny in Christian Lacroix
I'm now on board with the grey Valentino she wore on the red carpet, but this Lacroix dress was love at first sight. I love the prom-style shape on her, and the sheer skirt works really well.

Were you also loving Ashley and Chloe's after party looks?

And a few people asked me what I thought of Jennifer Aniston's dress yesterday. I didn't dislike it in anyway, she looked brilliant, but seeing as it was another black dress I didn't think there was much to report.
