Keira Knightley Wears a Custom Burberry Gown

I've actually really missed seeing Keira Knightley on the red carpet, as she's kept a low profile over the past year or two. But now that she's back - promoting her latest movie A Dangerous Method - she's happy to show us all what we've been missing. Last night she attended the film's London screening, wearing a sophisticated custom-designed Burberry gown.   


This look can only be described as divine. It's one of my all time favourite Keira fashion moments!

As I mentioned a few months ago, Burberry have been carefully working on their red carpet presence recently and this dress shows they're going in right direction. Personally I prefer it to anything we saw at the SAG awards over the weekend - it's striking, sophisticated and glamourous. Are you also a fan of Keira Knightley's Burberry dress?

Tracking Down House of Harlow's Chelsea Sunglasses


It's been ages since I've properly fallen for a fashion item that I absolutely had to have. So when I realised I really really wanted the House of Harlow 1960 Chelsea sunglasses in black a little problem like "sold out worldwide" wasn't going to stop me. For as long as I can remember I've been stubbornly determined, so if I want something I won't stop until I find a way to get it.

I Googled my butt off trying to find the Chelsea shades in black, but they were sold out on every single website. House of Harlow's UK press rep then revealed My-Wardrobe would be getting some fresh stock in February, and just as I was about to give up and actually wait patiently (the horror!) I received an email from Amazon's press team. Apparently my one-top-shop for The Hills and Laguna Beach boxsets is branching out into fashion retail. And you guessed it, they stock House of Harlow 1960! Click HERE for the Chelsea shades.


At the time of writing there were only five pairs left in stock, so order them fast if you've been hunting for them too. For some reason there's no product photo on the page, but I ordered from this link and as you can see from the image above the HoH Chelsea shades were exactly what I received. If you miss out of theses shades again then Revolve Clothing, Urban Outfitters and Boutique To You all have the tortoiseshell style in stock. 

Are you also a fan of House of Harlow's Chelsea sunglasses?

Rooney Mara Loves a Givenchy Peplum Waist

Rooney Mara has had a pretty amazing start to the year: there's the Oscar nomination, her Vanity Fair cover and yesterday it was announced she's replaced Blake Lively in Steven Soderbergh’s latest project. Oh, and let's not forget her unlimited access to the Givenchy Spring/Summer 2012 collection. Rooney has been wearing a lot of Givenchy recently. 


Yesterday Rooney wore a white chiffon Givenchy dress with a peplum waist to The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo's Japan premiere. And for today's Tokyo press conference Rooney chose an ivory Givenchy jacket - again championing the peplum shape. 

The collection does suit Rooney's look perfectly, so it's no surprise she keeps returning to Givenchy. I wonder if Riccardo Tisci is working on a special design for her to wear to the Oscars... Are you a fan of Rooney's recent red carpet appearances?

The Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue 2012

Vanity Fair's March 2012 cover is out and it's extra special this month as it's the annual Hollywood Issue. This year the cover features eleven up-and-coming actresses, who were all exclusively photographed for the magazine by Mario Testino.

From left to right we have: Rooney Mara, Mia Wasikowska, Jennifer Lawrence, Jessica Chastain, Elizabeth Olsen, Adepero Oduye, Shailene Woodley, Paula Patton, Felicity Jones, Lily Collins, and Brit Marling.

I'm so pleased to see Jennifer Lawrence, Jessica Chastain and Elizabeth Olsen on the cover. And even though I'm not completely won over by the pastel coloured theme I do think this is a gorgeous cover. I can't wait to buy the issue. Are you equally as excited about the 2012 Hollywood Issue?

Shopping For: Prints and Pattern


It all started with the Tibi collage print tank top, which I spotted over the weekend and instantly fell in love with. Then I got distracted by Topshop's kaleidoscope pencil skirt - which I want to buy for the spring, to wear with brightly coloured knits - and then my attention swerved across to Mulberry's gem embellished pumps (FYI Mulberry shoes are super comfortable).

The message? Clearly that I need to focus on getting some more printed pieces into my wardrobe, ready for the new season. Are any of the above items on your wishlist?

Georgia May Jagger Covers Harper's Bazaar UK

British model Georgia May Jagger covers the March 2012 cover of Harper's Bazaar UK, rocking a look from the Givenchy Spring/Summer 2012 collection. This is the first time Georgia has appeared on the cover of Harper's and I'm sure it won't be her last.

Alexi Lubomirski photographed the 20-year-old daughter of Jerry Hall and Mick Jagger in Miami, and to keep it personal Jerry actually conducted the interview. How awkward must that be - your own mother interviewing you for Harper's Bazaar. I can't wait to see what she asked Georgia.

The latest issue of Harper's Bazaar UK hits newsstands on February 2nd. Will you be buying the new issue? And what are your thoughts on Georgia May Jagger's debut cover?
