Merry Christmas



I'm taking a Christmas break from today. I will be back next Monday, hopefully with my blogging batteries fully recharged.

I hope you all have a lovely Christmas, whatever you are planning on doing.

And remember, all that extra chocolate you're eating can be burned off in the January sales....

Totally Buggin'



It's such sad news about Brittany Murphy. Everyone must watch Clueless (my favourite film ever) in her honour at least once today.

Hit and Miss of the Week: Last of 2009

This is the last hit and miss of the year. So who has been making a good final impression?
Nicole Richie seems to be back to business, her business being getting papped in great outfits. Then there is SJP, who has been working some great accessories. Mary-Kate and Ashley were out on the red carpet, bringing a brilliant end to the year. And my other favourite, Kate Hudson, has also worked some beautiful looks this week - lots of print an interesting texture. So, a good end to 2009?

SJP I Forgive You

It feels wrong to end the year disliking Sarah Jessica Parker - it would be like me not loving the Olsens any more (style.com says that the Olsens are very important people). My Christmas wish is that the second SATC film isn't as bad as I think it will be, but even if it is a disaster at least SJP's got her fashion mojo back.
Yesterday she wore a look from the S/S 2010 Chanel collection. I don't know if this is something I would wear myself but I love it on SJP. The skirt is adorable.


She was later seen wearing the patterned tights from the collection. I don't think these looked quite as good on her as the dress did. Perhaps it's the shoes? I think these tights need clogs - odd as that is.


What do you think of SJP in Chanel?

Looking on the Bright Side

Recently I've been reading a lot of trash. I have the December issue of US Vogue sitting on my coffee table just waiting to be read, but at the moment I have the patience of a fly (I guess because it's the end of the year?) and only feel like reading gossip magazines. So I know a lot about Tiger Woods at the moment, who is in every gossip mag.

The one thing I've learnt from his affairs is that his wife, Elin Nordegren, looks amazing in aviators. I know this is possibly the most unimportant fact in the whole Tiger Woods affair story, but everyday when I open up the paper and see another picture of Elin she's always looking fabulous in her shades.



Above are my two favourite Elin pairs. The top pair are by Chanel, and I seem to remember (after studying this image in the Metro last week) that the bottom pair are by Ray Ban, although I'm not 100%.
There's a great pair of Elin-style aviators by Michael Kors currently at Net-A-Porter for £89. I also think Jennifer Aniston would look good in them.


Whatever happens with her marriage at least Elin could build a great career in eyewear modelling. I'm already tempted to buy some aviators now, and they really don't suit me. We know she likes Chanel and we know Karl likes blondes, so who knows what might happen....

Has anyone else noticed her great taste in shades?

Stars Have a Lot of Love for Lim

Today I was talking with a friend about how great it would be to own the entire contents of Net-A-Porter.com - it would be better than winning the lottery. At the moment I'm loving all the new pieces from 3.1 Phillip Lim that they have in stock. Many of which you will recognise as they've been snapped on famous faces. Despite the fact sequins are everywhere at the moment (and are starting to make me feel a little queasy) I love the gold sequined top Lisa Love owns.




The polka-dot bra is really sweet and I adore the grey jumper with embellished shoulders. Wouldn't we all love a little Phillip Lim under the tree this Christmas?

Favourite pieces?
