More Gorilla Love

Regular readers know that I find fashion designers new found love for Gorillas hilarious. I now get sent emails from readers with links to catwalk images that look Gorilla inspired. The most recent tip off came from Nic who noticed Gorilla feet at Valentino Couture [click here to see].
The trend began with Christopher Kane, and My-Wardrobe.com got a selection of Kane's T-shirts in yesterday.

Christopher Kane Gorilla T-shirt £210 from my-wardrobe.com Product Code: 881014

My favourite is the Gorilla but I'm also rather keen on the Mandrill. And that is quite possibly the oddest sentence I have ever written in my life.
My-Wardrobe also got this McQ dress in yesterday, which I'm loving.

McQ Alexander McQueen dress £315 from my-wardrobe.com Product Code: 323967

I'd like to see Emma Watson wear it, is she done with HP promotion or do you think she could slip one more red carpet appearance in just so she can wear this dress?
With the help of Grazia magazine I learnt that it's Caroline Sieber who has been styling Emma, I know a few of you were wondering who she was working with.

Blair's Posh Frock

I've recently got back into Gossip Girl, just as the second season is ending on UK screens. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to find the Serena in prison for stealing a bracelet storyline hilarious, but I do. I'm also really happy Blair and Nate are back together, but by the look of the photo below that isn't going to last.
The cast are currently filming season three and Leighton aka Blair Waldorf was photographed wearing a dress from the Victoria Beckham Fall collection.


As fate would have it Victoria showed her collection at the Waldorf Towers. Don't you just love when things come full circle like that?
Leighton may be wearing a Victoria Beckham design the actress is clearly not like Victoria at all. Can you image Victoria trading her heels for flip-flops between takes?

A Jessica Makeover?

Jessica 'boring style' Alba was photographed leaving a restaurant last night. The exciting part is that Rachel Zoe was walking right ahead of her. Was it simply a coincidence they were leaving the same restaurant at the same time or is this start of a fabulous celebrity wardrobe?



I love the fact that the random man in the background is checking out Rachel not Jessica Alba.
Do you think Jessica needs a little of the Zoe magic?

Luphia Online

Keen bloggers will probably know or read Luphia Loves. Tina, from Luphia, has recently launched her own online boutique also named Luphia.
The clothes are lovely with cute day dresses and skirts in fabulous colours that you can wear day or night. And with the majority of stock coming from clothing brands in Japan, Korea and Hong Kong you won't end up looking like all your friends.
These are my three favourite pieces:

Luphia also ships internationally, which is good news to all those reading outside the UK.

Hit and Miss of the Week: Emma Watson

This week was owned by Emma Watson, she was everywhere. And she also got through a hell of a lot of clothes. I'm not really a Harry Potter fan (please, don't kill me) but I do love Emma. The only time I felt she slipped up this week was when she wore Proenza Schouler. This is odd as I adore Proenza Schouler but both times Emma wore their clothes I didn't like the result, anyone else feel the same? What I do adore Emma in is Christopher Kane, she looked fabulous.

Oh Viv

Everyone love Vivienne Westwood, right? Last night she was on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross. I haven't watched it yet but I fully intend to watch it on iplayer asap.
For those of you living outside the UK I've found the interview on youtube [click here] for you. The combination of Vivienne and Mr Ross is sure to be hilarious.

Also my email situation has got a little out of control. Anyone who has emailed me in the past week I apologise if I haven't replied. I will try to sort it out after the weekend. Sorry.

A Night at the Movies

I loved the Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture collection. I know I say I love things a lot but I really, really love this collection, in a way I have never loved couture before.
JPG was inspired by Hollywood and the movies this season, which explains the overdose of glamour.




I’m sure I’m not the only one who would love to spend just one day with my hair perfectly curled, dressed in Gaultier couture with fur (faux for me, please) draped over my shoulders. Because people don’t live like that, not even people in the movies live like that anymore. And right now the fantasy seems way better than the reality, no?


Natasha Poly, how I love you...

The Telegraph has a great video of the collection [view here] which is worth checking out. Clothes like these need to be seen in motion, and the models pose beautifully. Also JPG seems like the most lovely man – I adore him.

Jean Paul Gaultier was my favourite but I also adored the Chanel and Givenchy collections.

Who were your favourite collections this Couture season?

Forget Where's Wally, Where's Anna?

Anna Wintour is missing from the Couture collections. Rather shocking but I'm sure it just means the September issue is going to be super amazing this year. Her absence has inspired me to create this game though...

Also if you haven't seen the trailer for the September Issue yet check it out here. I can't stop watching it. My jaw drops when she tells Oscar de la Renta not to show one of his dresses because ''the other things you showed us were more exciting.''
