I Want Short Shorts

I'm slowly becoming such a miserable and cynical person. And it is all down to the fact it's almost April and I still need a coat when I go outside. Wet + cold = no fun!
Looking at images of Kate Bosworth breezing around LA does not make it any better. She's wearing shorts. And short shorts, at that. I have a gorgeous pale green lace top from Topshop that I'm dying to style with a pair of little denim cut-offs, Bosworth-style. And I need to find a crumpled t-shirt dress that hints to the Calvin Klein S/S 2010 collection. Has anyone seen a highstreet version?
So many ideas, yet so little sunshine...


1. Lace top by Topshop at topshop.com. 2. Sunglasses by Ray-Ban at net-a-porter.com. 3. Shorts by J Brand at net-a-porter.com. 4. Ring by House of Harlow at my-wardrobe.com. 5. Boots by Topshop at topshop.com. 6. T-shirt by Topshop at topshop.com. 7. Dress by Calvin Klein at net-a-porter.com.

Is there anyone else out there in the UK feeling the same way? And is anyone wearing short shorts yet? Apart from Kate Bosworth, of course.

Fashion Targets Breast Cancer

A few weeks ago I posted about the latest campaign from FTBC - Wear Your Support. If you missed it, basically a selection of the best highstreet stores in the UK (think Topshop, Whistles, M&S...) have designed pieces (and most importantly: pieces that they know their customers will love) to raise money for FTBC.
The exciting thing is that this isn't your average charity t-shirt campaign, as these clothes actually have an appeal. The Whistles cardigan [below far left] is a piece that you can wear for years.


The images that accompany the campaign were shot by Mario Testino. I was predicting Kate Moss, but it's an equally amazing result, with Sienna Miller, Kylie Minogue and Claudia Schiffer. All the images, along with the full collection, can be viewed HERE. I love Sienna's pic - she looks stunning.


And above are of my favourite pieces. The tank is from River Island (will look good with dark jeans and sandals) and the striped top is from Warehouse. I love stripes!

All pieces from the collection can be purchased from the FTBC website (HERE) and selected stores on the highstreet.

Holy Moly! I Missed an Olsen Interview?

I still haven't picked up a copy of the S/S 2010 issue of LOVE magazine. Well, actually, I lie. I have picked up many copies, in various newsagents, but because I still haven't been able to find the Daria cover I don't actually own a copy.
I think now I'll have to buy the next copy I see, Daria or no Daria, because there's an Olsen interview in the issue. How did I not know this until today? I have no idea. But I guess it's better late than never, right?



The accompanying pictures are beautiful. I love the cobalt blue jacket by Stella McCartney that MK wears. A very similar style is available at net-a-porter, for those who have a spare £1,135 to spend on a jacket. It looks stunning with the yellow shirt - you've gotta love a bit of contrasting colour action. And Ashley obviously looks gorge in the Lanvin dress.
I'm off to buy LOVE magazine...

Carey in Wonderland



I am totally obsessed with Carey Mulligan's Wonderland cover. Even though it's such a simple image, it somehow feels so fresh and new. I like black and white magazine covers a lot, the subscribers copy of ELLE is Demi Moore in black and white this month, which looks amazing.
Carey wears Prada on the cover - she seems to really love Prada. I hope there's a bit of Vionnet in her editorial too. You can't have Carey without Vionnet.
What do you think of her cover?

The New Boho

Cast your mind back a few years, to the boho era of Sienna, Mischa and Lindsay. It was all about gypsy skirts, cowboy boots, low-slung belts and the Chloe Paddington.
Sienna has left her boho days behind her, but the look has returned for summer - just like it does every year.
This updated version of boho focuses on print. Louis Vuitton's S/S 2010 collection [left] was a mass jumble of tribal prints, in zesty limes, bright blues and sugary pinks. Zoe Saldana has already worn a dress from the Vuitton collection, selecting a classic black blazer as her only accessory.
And whilst Sienna was the boho poster-girl last time around, it's Nicole Richie who's leading the pack for 2010. She's been wearing lots of 60's and 70's inspired prints lately, especially in warm tones of orange, red and brown. And this look runs throughout her House of Harlow 1960 and Winter Kate collections, which are great labels for boho basics.


1. Heels by Jimmy Choo at net-a-porter.com. 2. Shirt by Elizabeth and James at my-wardrobe.com. 3. Kimono by Winter Kate at my-wardrobe.com. 4. Cuff by Versace at net-a-porter.com. 5. Belt by Matthew Williamson at net-a-porter.com. 6. Hareem pants by Day Birger et Mikkelsen at my-wardrobe.com. 7. Smock dress by Topshop at topshop.com.

My current boho style crush is Ashley Olsen. I love the way she pairs her embellished jacket with a luxe silk jumpsuit. Will you be working this look over the summer? How do you plan to style it?

Hit and Miss of the Week: I Love You VB

This week was a lot better than the last, and I only had to use a 'miss' twice. My favourite look of the week has to be Victoria Beckham's airport outfit. There was no flying cap, but she did show off some fabulous trousers. This look was then done again, a few days later, by Cheryl Cole. Her version has nothing on VB's, however.
And also this week, Kristen Stewart was spotted in her own clothes, and she looks so much better than she does on the red carpet. The issue with her must be comfort, so she really needs to find a red carpet style that she's happy with. Lets hope she finds it soon...

Emma Watson in Christopher Kane

Last night Emma Watson was photographed wearing a piece from the A/W 2010 Christopher Kane collection. It's lovely to see her in a British label, and it's quite an 'edgy' look for Emma. A very interesting fashion choice.



Do you think Anna looks impressed? It would be lovely to see Emma featured in Vogue sometime soon. She had an ELLE UK cover last year, so could probably hold her own in Vogue too. What do you think?
And as for Emma's relationship with Christopher Kane, I'd love to see her now branch into Versus. I think she would look gorgeous in the red dress from the A/W collection, as well as their sexy LBD's.



Do you think Versus is a good fit for Emma too?
