How I Missed You, Kirsten Dunst



Bring It On was on TV the other night, which reminded me I still hadn't posted about Kirsten Dunst's V cover. I love Kirsten, and in the early days of the blog I used to write about her all the time. But the last year or two she has been very quiet. She used to be the girl every blogger would post about, now it's moved onto Leighton and Carey.
But although she's now a little more undercover she's still got the superstar magic, as Mario Testino captured in these images. Mario takes gorgeous photos of Kirsten, if anyone has his book Let Me In you'll know this. Kirsten is in it a lot.
And for this shoot she was styled by Gaga's stylist, Nicola Formichetti. I think Kirsten is a million times more interesting than Gaga, no?




Also, can Baz Luhrmann please cast Kirsten as Daisy in his remake of The Great Gatsby? Her and Leo would be a dream. Do you agree?

Nicole and Harlow Have Runway Hair

Yesterday Nicole Richie was photographed taking Harlow to ballet class in LA. I very rarely write about Harlow, but I think she's the cutest celebrity baby ever. Yes, Suri wears heels and is unbelievably fashionable for a three-year-old (check out this hilarious Suri blog for a laugh), but Harlow has charisma. She also has a wicked name.
And I'm a fan of any baby that works Chanel Couture inspired hair to her ballet class, as Harlow did yesterday. So she is, understandably, the coolest celeb baby around.


Nicole also worked some runway inspired hair, with an Alexander Wang style plait. Ever since his S/S 10 collection showed last September I've been growing my hair, hoping it will be long enough for this style. It's still not. And I'm sure by the time it is long enough this look will be so overdone I won't want to wear it anyway. Fashion is unfair.


What do you think of Harlow and Nicole's runway inspired look? Which is your favourite?
And, if you missed it, there was a great Q&A with Nicole in last Saturday's Independant. You can view it HERE.

Rachel Zoe's April Fools Report

Once you become so emerged in fashion you get used to the madness of it all. Karl Lagerfeld shipping an iceberg into Paris for the Chanel A/W show? It happened. Lindsay Lohan designing clothes for Emanuel Ungaro? It happened - for a while.
So when I opened today's Zoe Report to see Rachel's husband Rodger sharing his tips on getting the "perfect side swept bangs" for a while I took it seriously. It is fashion after all - you expect this sort of madness.


"Rodger" writes: "A lot of people ask me, "Rodg, how do you get those perfect side swept bangs?" So I thought it only natural to cover this in my inaugural report. Let me just say, it is not easy. A lot of time and maintenance goes into my mane—but with my unprofessional guidance, you too can master the look."

But Rodger really does have the perfect "side swept bangs" (the kind Chace Crawford must envy) so if it wasn't April Fools day (and the email ends "and Happy April Fools Day") I would actually think this was a pretty normal fashion occurance. As normal as icebergs at Chanel, anyway.


I kind of hope the Rodger Report isn't a joke, as tomorrow he promies to "discuss the ascot trend". Let's hope Rachel let's him take over more often...

A Different Side of Jen

I must admit, I'm quite bored of Jennifer Aniston. This is not because I dislike her, it's more because she's so overexposed you never get a break from her. I'm sure Jen has been on more covers of women's magazines than any other celebrity in the world (her tally of Grazia covers alone could beat off any competitor).
So it's not that I think she is boring. It's more that I'm just bored of seeing her. But the May UK cover of Harper's Bazaar does bring something new to the table, so I'm happy to see her on their cover.



Yes, it's still just Jen (complete with her trademark hair) in a girl-next-door tank-top. But there is something about the lighting of this cover - it's like a summer evening on the beach - that's so beautiful. It's one of my favourite Aniston covers for sure.
Although, saying that, I'd much rather read the feature about Kate and Mario having a ball, than Jen's "it's time for my rebirth" interview...

Are you loving the cover too?

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...
