Does Gaga Trump Ricci?

Remember way back in December Christina Ricci wore the finale dress from Marc Jacobs' S/S 2010 collection? I thought it was utter perfection, and the look came 10th in the 50 Best Dresses of 2009. I didn't think another star would give the dress a go, as it's sort of become Chrisitna's look. But Lady Gaga decided it was perfect attire for a snowy day in New York (you've gotta love her way of thinking). So now the question of who wore it best crops up...



I think Chrisitna still wins it for me, although I do really like Gaga's take on the dress. Which version do you like best?

Curiouser and Curiouser

At the end of 2009 one of the things I was most looking forward to about the new year was Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland (I've never watched a film in 3D before, I think this should be my first), which is finally out in March. Alice in Wonderland was one of my first ever video tapes as a child, and Lewis Carroll's story still fascinates me.
And one of my all time favourite editorials is US Vogue's Alice in Wonderland. Staring Natalia Vodianova, photographed by Annie Leibovitz and I'm guessing - I can't find any styling credits online to confirm this - styled by Grace Coddington, it is simply stunning.
It's a shoot I'm sure you've all seen a billion times before (can you believe it's from December 2003? It doesn't feel that old), but it's so gorgeous it can't hurt to view it again, can it?









I've cut three images out because I felt this post was going on a bit, but you can view the shoot in full, with the fashion credits HERE. And you can watch the Alice in Wonderland trailer HERE.
Is anyone else as insanely excited as I am about this film?

The Third Kate



I don't know if it's because I write about Moss and Hudson quite a lot, or whether it's the fact she's been pretty quiet recently. But I completely forgot about the third stylish Kate. Kate Bosworth.
There was a time (I think around 2007/8) when everyone was obsessed with her style. Then she sort of faded out of the spotlight. But last night at a Chanel dinner in New York she had all eyes on her once again. The hair is adorable (I want mine to look like that), the smile is oh so sweet and her coat shows that she can do cold-weather-chic perfectly.
Kate Bosworth is back in the [fashion] game. Now if only she'd encourage Mischa and Kirsten to return too...

P.S I know her dress was fabulous too - but I'm saving it for the Hit & Miss

What Type of Bride Will Nicole be?

I've been a fan of Nicole Richie for a very long time. Throughout the anorexia rumours, the 'zoebot' days, the DUI and the 84 minutes in prison. It was the adorable bob haircut that first made me love her, and now I'm an even bigger fan, because she has turned her life around so gracefully. I feel like there's a lot of affection for Nicole out there (whenever I write about her the comments roll in) because of her reinvention, sense of humour and fabulous style.


So it's no surprise that when she popped into Monique Lhuillier yesterday I got excited. She has always said a wedding to Joel Madden is on the cards, so could 2010be the year? Granted, the fact she went into Monique Lhuillier means little (she doesn't just do wedding dresses) but how exciting would it be if she is getting married?
Nicole is super-stylish so her wedding dress would be absolutely amazing. I could imagine her going for something quite bohemian and ethereal - perhaps even a vintage Halston - but as she favours this style for the red carpet maybe she'd go for something more bride-y?



I can't really picture Nicole in any of the dresses above, but I can't wait to see what she does choose to walk down the aisle in. Whether it's this year, next year or way way in the future.

Do you think Nicole will get married this year? What type of dress do you think she'll go for?

The Highstreet Edit

I don't know if you feel the same, but over the last few weeks I've found myself wanting to buy pretty much everything on the highstreet. The new collections are slowly filtering in and there is so much that I want. At the moment I am trying to stick with purchases that I can actually wear now (I hate buying something beautiful and waiting months before I can wear it because of the cold), but it's getting so hard to resist.
Here are some of the pieces on the highstreet catching my eye at the moment:


1. Maddison wedges, £60, Oasis. 2. Laydybird ring, £16, Miss Selfridge. 3. Faux leather shorts, £29.99, River Isalnd 4. Graffiti dress, £120, Topshop Unique. 5. Rose camisole, £38, Warehouse. 6. Floral bra, £20, Topshop. 7. Retro watch, £20, ASOS.

Have you recently found a great piece on the highstreet?

The Beach

I think I speak for most people in London when I say this afternoon's snow shower was pretty unwelcome. I for one am sick of snow. And British actress Carey Mulligan doesn't look like she's missing the British weather much, as she wore this beachy Prada number to the Santa Barbara Film Festival last night.



You know how much I adore the Prada S/S 2010 collection, and right now it's not just the actual clothes that are making me swoon, but the summery prints too. Who wouldn't like to escape to the beach shown on the cut-out dress right now?



I'm dying for spring! I want to wear pretty little dresses, open-toe shoes and not have to worry about boring coats and scarves. Carey is living the dream...

P.S Think she'll wear Prada to the Oscars?

Camilla Skovgaard for Amanda Wakeley

There is no better way to start a Monday than pictures of seriously hot designer shoes. These babies are by Danish shoe designer Camilla Skovgaard, designed for Amanda Wakeley's S/S 2010 collection.


Both pairs are available online for £350 at Amanda Wakeley's website HERE, and are selling out fast.
Shorts a big deal this season, and I think these heels are the perfect match for khaki or leather shorts. And they're sure to give you legs like Cameron Diaz too.
I like the Zebra pair best, which are you loving?
