I Dream of Miu Miu

I'm so into these Miu Miu sparrow-print heels from the S/S 10 collection right now. I don't normally like mega chunky heels, but these are gorgeous.

Whenever I look at them on net-a-porter I get Gwen Stefani in my head. If I were a rich girl, na na na na na na, na na na na naa...

Which s/s 2010 shoes are you loving right now?

Wearing Sunglasses in the Dark

I only saw the images of Beyonce having dinner with Jay-Z after I posted the weekly Hit & Miss. I wish I'd seen them before, because I love love love Beyonce's pink Chanel jacket. There's something a little ironic about the styling, and I don't think I've ever seen Beyonce wear Chanel before. It's a nice match.



Obviously, because she's a superstar she wears sunglasses in the dark. I don't think I've ever worn sunglasses at night before. I'd look like a right idiot. But I do hope that one day I'm important enough to wear shades in the dark and simply look cool.
After all, Mary-Kate and Ashley both turned up to the opening night of a play on Broadway wearing sunglasses last night.



I wonder if they took them off to watch the show? MK kept her shades on throughout the Burberry A/W 2010 collection, so you never know...
And it's getting harder to tell them apart at the moment, but I think it's Ashley in the shorter dress... Does anyone know who it's by? I love it.

Hit and Miss of the Week: Jennifer Aniston's Week of Promo

Earlier in the week I wrote that I often think Jennifer Aniston is overexposed. And this week is no different. She's still promoting The Bounty Hunter and made five red carpet appearances this week. I love Lacriox but Jennifer did not look good in his pink strapless dress. I think her best look of the week was a simple white shift dress.
And though Jennifer's wardrobe was a little hit and miss this week, Whitney Port seems to be back on top. She's had a few wardrobe slip-ups over the last couple of months, but it looks like she's turning that around.
And, as always, if you have anything to say about the outfits this week feel free to leave a comment. There's always an interesting debate - especially when Jen's involved.

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?
