It's A Party (a pretty stylish one too)


Nicole: Icing- 1,000 calories, cake 5,000 calories, toppings 3,000 calories.......shit.

But when I'm older I want a cake just like that (and I'll eat it)

Looks like Pete Doherty has met his match....

Mischa, boyfiend and co. I love that Mui Mui dress but I don't think she does it much justice....and do I spot Burberry print (@!ZHJE&**E$J*FRFK)

Paris being.....Paris. Couldn't wait to check out how "hot" her reflection was

Mischa B's sis tyring to play it a little "too cool" if you ask me

Cream or Marshmellows?

She's gorgeous looks like an L.A. princess which she more than likely is and I adore this outfit

The baggy jacket, waves and feminine/ masculine look never fails ( though I prefer what the girl on the left's wearing)

I love her hair and eyes as well as her top from H&M (the one I could never track down)

Here thanks to courtesy of "The Cobra Snake" I've got photos from Nicole Richie's birthday party- and hollywoods coolest and hippest young things were everywhere to be seen.

I'm beginning to get scared.....




Over the past few days celebrities seen have gone....well.....just a little.....maybe it's the weather.....insane. I mean style wise though most of them are mentally unstable too. LiLo, MK and Naomi all show us what happens when celebrities go stark raving mad. Lindsay Lohan cleverly places her knickers over her leggings which is a look featured in next months VOGUE. The peach panties, I heart LA tee and all the rest- if only poor Linds had stayed at home. Mary-Kate left me feeling quite confused with this look, her hair for starters should be dyed a light/midi brown though the outfit is.....interesting. The dress is quite ethnic and similiar to that of African womens (except the print). Although Mary-Kate does it no justice, closer up it looks like a warm, cosy blanket wrapped around her tiny body. Then comes the shoes. At 4'11/5ft Mary-Kate obviously wants extra height but it looks like she is having difficultly walking. Everything about this whole outfit is wrong when put together. The bag could look great on its own, the dress, maybe if shortened and fitted and made less blanket like and more clothes like, as for the shoes, well....
Moving on to Naomi Campbell. The community service seems to have driven her (even) madder. She has a model's body but that doesn't mean we want to see her bits saying "hello" to the entire world. The blusher is slightly wild and a little too much and well that dress is just too damn low. Put a jacket on Naomi please otherwise you might just freeze!

Enter the magical world...

Queen Bee of The Bumble Bees
Queen Of The Pixies
The dark vixen
Queen Of The Kingdom

Enter The Magical World of Christian Lacroix Couture; it steers you into a whole new dimension. Bumble bees flitter about, mushrooms the size of large TV's and fairies and pixies fill the air leaving behind a shimmering, sparkling trail. At least, that's how this collection made me feel. It took me back to being a little girl and playing dress up and actually believeing their could be such a thing as magic. Any seemed possible. Whilst I doubt I would wear any of it , just staring and drifting into a land far, far away is good enough for me.

Also notice how Lily Cole closes the show in a wedding dress. First Victor and Rolf For H&M and now Karl and Lacroix have picked up on how successful this could be.




Lagerfeld Lost His Touch?


Karl Lagerfield is a genius- no doubt about it and Chanel is one of my all time favourite brands so it pains me to say how bitterly disappointed I was with his Chanel Couture collection. There were only about three items I would even consider to place on my wishlist. It started off well with short coats and monochrome magic then it made a turn for the worst.

There third item shown has fur and fluff flying everywhere (which seemed to be Lagerfield's inspiration this season). It looked like someone had raided the store cupboard and attached all their findings on this dress. The next outfit screams out Victoria Beckham, a good enough reason to stay clear. Then it just seems to get worst the dismal grotesque gold dress it could be from Grandma's dressing up cupboard & the tacky grey fur extravaganza then last but not least the yeti bride.

I don't know what went wrong this season but hopefully Karl will pull himself together for his A/W 07 collection.





5 Things You Didn't Know

Irina's Haircut

For those slightly curious about the girl behind the blog.....



1) I live in Greater London so the train journey to London is pretty painless



2) I like travelling and have been to many countries; I still really want to go to China, Japan, Australia and Sweden.



3) I'm still a student at school



4) I've been scouted many times by various modelling agencies but do not model



5) I have Irina's haircut and it's the same colour- possibly darker

2007 Darling (Spring/Summer Couture)

John Galliano unveiled a magnificent, stunning array of clothing for his oriental inspired Christian Dior Couture collection. Paled-out white faces, ruby red lips, drawn on eyebrows and false eyelashes sweeping out to the sides were the desired look beauty wise. I have never been so impressed by such a positively beautiful collection. Rich colours; hot pink; corals; rich silk; delicately shaped items; wrap-arounds; fish creeping up dresses; bamboo; volume; highly embellished clothing. This collection was spectacular. The pressure is on for Galliano to unveil a collection just as delicously gorgeous as this for his next collection.
Valentino, stuck to what they do best, feminine, equisite clothing. Clothing complimented the woman's every curve, falling into all the correct places. The gilrs appeared like divine greek godesses, oozing with confident. However, closer up the adorned clothing appears very delicate and fragile like. A perfect contrast. Sixties influences also popped up with large plastic buttons on a very Audrey Hepburn-esque pink outfit and also a rather lovely detailed white shift dress.

NEXT BIG THING




Let me introduce: SUVI KOPONEN

From Women Paris modelling agency this girl has Sasha P's edgy and dark presence and a bone structure to die for. Though she only appeared in a few fashion shows this season by the next one I expect she'll probably be one of designer's first choice.
