In the Mood for Nude

Where are you Spring?? Word from my across the pond based sister tells me it is flip flop weather in Manhattan. Yet we in London are lagging painfully behind. While yesterday we had beautiful sunny skies I went for an alfresco dinner and shisha last night and had to keep my fur on...in April...not cool! So even if you've been living under a rock you will know the world has gone crazy for shades of ‘greige’. My dream wardrobe consists of sheer fabrics in barely there hues - just waiting on the weather to wear' em! I'm dreaming of MINK, BLUSH, PEACH, PUTTY, COFFEE, OYSTER, CHAMPAGNE, IVORY, SAND, CAMEL and TAUPE.

Never wanted to be in Paris so much!

Romance is not dead

As Spring has sprung and I am starting to think of lace and frills as I observe the emergence of daffodils and pregnant women I can't help but think that love is in the air! With that I will let you perv on these heart melting pictures of my favourite couple of the moment: Mark Ronson and Josephine de le Baume. *sigh*

MOSCHINOOOOOOO

Absolutely love the tongue in cheek humor of this sassy campaign. It combines some unashamedly Chanel-esque styles of the 80s and 90s with the raw sex appeal of the denim clad Guess girls.

Fabby Abbey

This Aussie belle is one of my current favourites and is omnipresent on the runway and in high fashion campaigns. I love her glossy honey coloured hair, heavy fringe and nose ring. With her effervescent youth and rebellious style she is a bit like Erin Wasson meets Gemma Ward. Yum.

Deco Deyn

I've never been a huge Aggy fan, but none the less I am excited to see her acting debut in the film noir inspired short film 'Mean to me' directed by New York artist Peter McGough. Deyn plays a volatile femme fatale who has been wronged by her wealthy beau. It certainly doesn't hurt that a raven haired Agyness Deyn's 1930s style wardrobe has been designed by Zac Posen expecially for the project. I'm sure it will be a visual treat in the same way as Tom Ford's 'A Single Man' - it appears to mark the start of a new craze for designers trying to get their creations on film.

McQueen's Final Collection

Fashionistas worldwide bid Alexander McQueen farewell last week with the presentation of his final collection. The collection summoned a sense of true oppulence of another era, reminiscent of Royalty or even Papal garments. McQueen's use of rich red with elaborate gold patterns seemed to symbolise influences of Baroque or Rococo style. This was directly fused with the digital prints and gothic undertones of today. The collection seems to creatively defy the fact that we are in recession. The stand out piece from the collection appears to be the fishtail dress with the jacket made from gilded feathers. However I think my favourite piece is the back and gold dress and cape; it would transform anyone into Wonder Woman. To be invited to this unweiling would cement you as a heavyweight of the fashion industry. I can't imagine what a privilege it would be to witness this beautiful and poignant 16 piece collection first hand. Rest in Peace Lee McQueen.
