Mary-Kate at Whole Foods




I love Mary-Kate Olsen's all black Whole Foods look. The floppy hat is oh so cool. For some reason pictures of the Olsen's doing really mundane things like grocery shopping fascinates me. I love their style so much I suppose I just imagine they live in this alternative fashion universe where their days are simply spent looking insanely cool. Clearly that's not how it is, and they sometimes need to re-stock the fridge just like the rest of us.
Next time I nip to Tescos I'm so wearing shades and a floppy hat...

Cate and Blake Take the June Covers

Even though there are lots of UK magazines I really rate (ELLE is a particular favourite) the two glossies I get genuinely excited about are US Vogue and W. The reason they are my favourites is because they use the best photographers and models - resulting in gorgeous editorials - as well as the best writers. I'm a journalism student so I like words - both magazines always have brilliant articles.
The June covers of W and Vogue couldn't be more different, however. W has paired Cate Blanchett with Craig McDean, resulting in sophisticated yet moody editorial. And Vogue went to the beach with Blake Lively and Mario Testino, producing in a fresh summery spread.


Cate is obviously promoting Robbin Hood, and if I'm honest I was expecting to see her on the cover of Vogue instead. Lucky W snapping her up first! I adore the image of her in the blue Etro dress, below right. You can read the accompanying article HERE but I always prefer to wait until the magazine's in my hands.



Blake doesn't appear to be promoting a new movie or series of Gossip Girl right now. I think she must just be on the June cover because Anna likes her - that and she looks good in a bikini. I hated Blake's last Vogue cover, which made her look a lot older than she is. This time it's much better. The image of her sitting in the car dressed in a leather Versace dress is fabulous.



You can read the feature HERE which is mostly about surfing but includes this very insightful quote from Blake: "Ostrich flats don't really work on the beach!"

What do you think of the June covers? Which is your favourite?

Victoria Starts an Unlikely Trend

As you know one of my favourite pastimes is mocking Victoria Beckham's choices in headwear. I love VB and I love the fact she always has a crazy hat at the ready. It makes life much more fun. You may remember that she was very attached to a leather baker boy cap a while ago. She wore it quite a lot until she traded it in for her military flying hat (a personal favourite of mine). Since Victoria ditched the look Catherine Zeta Jones has picked it up, and Rihanna has also been spotted in a leather baker boy. Personally I think they all look pretty stupid (although Rihanna kind of pulls it off) but John Galliano clearly disagrees as the leather baker boy popped up on the Dior runway yesterday.



It only appeared in two looks at the Dior Cruise 2011 show, but that's more than enough to prove that something is going on with the leather baker boy. This isn't good news for me but Victoria must be very proud...

What do you think of the baker boy cap? Disgusting or genius?

Lara Stone Gets Married

Last night in London Lara Stone married David Walliams. They are possibly the most unexpected celebrity couple ever, but it seems to be working for them. Lara wore Givenchy couture, which was worth £30,000. Beautiful dress, right?


I've already come to the smart conclusion that there is no point in getting married if you can't wear Givenchy down the aisle. I have a general dislike for traditional wedding dresses as they're all a bit too girly and froffy - obviously there are a few exceptions. But I'd be more than happy to get married in Givenchy.


I can't wait to see Lara's dress in full as it looks gorgeous. She also wore a tiny gold mini for the wedding reception which you can view HERE.
What do you think of her wedding dress? Was Givenchy a good choice?

Hit and Miss of the Week: To Cannes and Back

As you know The Cannes Film Festival kicked off this week. So far the highlights have been all the Gucci Première dresses on the red carpet, Carey Mulligan's Prada sundress and Cate Blanchett in that McQueen. Cate so far has the Cannes red carpet crown.
Also taking place this week was the Chanel 2010/11 Cruise collection, which Diane Kruger of course attended - you know she loves her Chanel. Whilst over in LA Vanessa Hudgens and Whitney Port experimented with bright shades of purple and yellow. Whitney was a lot more successful than Vanessa, however.
And back in Cannes Eva Longoria Parker floated about in a very slinky selection of minis. I haven't liked her Cannes look at all this year. Does one really need to go shopping in a body-con mini? I mean, really?

Gucci Première Works it at Cannes

As you probably know Gucci has just branched into Couture, launching the line Gucci Première. And what better place to show off these gowns than The Cannes Film Festival?
Last night Kate Beckinsale and Salma Hayek both wore Gucci Première to a Cannes premiere.



So far I've not been keen on Kate's Cannes look. This Gucci is her best Cannes look by far, it's very pretty. And even though I don't like Salma's number as much you have to admit she looks gorgeous in that colour.

What do you think of Gucci Première so far, and which dress do you like best?

Sexy Heels and Baywatch Poses

Amanda Seyfried is the latest Teen Vogue cover girl, and my does she look good posing in those Miu Miu S/S 2010 heels...



I actually tried these shoes on last week and they are easily the nicest things that have ever been on my feet. Not only are they a gorgeous shape but they're so much fun too.
Amanda also posed in a polka-dot-red-one-piece, which is pretty demure - but her pose is less so. When did Teen Vogue get so sultry? It looks like a more fashion-forward Baywatch scene.


Not that I'm hating on it or anything, I just think it's quite amusing. I used to love watching Baywatch when I was a little kid, I'm not so sure why. I also loved a Spanish soap opera called Eldorado. I had very peculiar taste.
Teen Vogue obviously has much more vision than Baywatch, and they've styled the red-one-piece up beautifully. And Amanda was photographed by Patrick Demarchelier which is another reason to love Teen Vogue. What other teen magazine gets Patrick to shoot their cover? I'm not a teen anymore but Teen Vogue still impresses me.

The June/July issue of Teen Vogue hit's US newstands on May 25th. What do you think of Amanda's Teen Vogue look? Love it or hate it?
