I have been coveting this cardigan by PPQ ever since I saw Alexa Chung wearing it to the Brit Awards, not simply because a ‘celebrity’ was wearing it, but because it reminds of me classic Chanel suits, like these:


And I spotted a similar one from Oasis for only £38, which I might just have to snap up the next time I am out shopping.

I don’t usually buy clothes from the high street; in fact I can’t remember the last time I did. I had a quick browse on TopShop and Miss Selfridge’s websites and found a few items that I really like:

TopShop check shirt dress £40

TopShop mint silk blouse £38

TopShop sheer ruffle blouse £45

Miss Selfridge pencil dress £45

Miss Selfridge pink pencil dress £45

Although they are from the high street, I’ve noticed that the items I have picked still have a slight vintage look/feel about them. I really love the rockabilly feel of the black and white gingham dress from TopShop, but I think I’ll wait for a sale before I buy that one (or for my student loan to come through – whichever one is quicker!)

After just seeing the Sex and the City Movie, I can say that I truly enjoyed it. It was fun and witty, and of course, had a plethora of amazing outfits!
Unfortunately I cannot find lots of photographs of all of the outfits (and her amazing wardrobe that is built for her!) so you will just have to go and see it for yourself.

I have decided that I must go to New York, whilst the exchange rate is so good, and buy a pair of Manolo Blahnik shoes. I have no idea which ones though, so I think a lot of research needs to be done!

I was flicking through yesterday’s issue of Fabulous magazine whilst on a break from re-decorating my bedroom, when I came across this outfit which reminded me of a look from Gucci’s spring 08 runway.

Top £20 from GSUS Sindustries, Skirt £29.99 H&M.

I really love the 50’s waitress feel the shirt has to it, and was looking on GSUS Sindustries’ website to find out where I could buy it, but sadly it appears they don’t have a shop in London. Is this so? If anybody knows of a shop or website I could buy that top from, it would be greatly appreciated!!

Ok... back to work!

EDIT: I just looked on the website again, and there's a shop in Bethnal Green. Next time I'll look a bit harder!

I was browsing through the shoes on stylefinder.com when I came across these beauties:

£12!!!!!! From Primark!!!!!!

Here’s SJP with a similar pair in brown on set of the eagerly awaited Sex And The City movie.

Is Primark actually getting better? Or are these a one off?
The only way to find out is to actually GO INTO the store. The thought of that horrifies me to the core!

After reading about it on Susie Bubble’s blog last week, I finally got around to seeing the Tim Walker exhibition at the Design Museum. It was DEFINATELY worth the wait. It’s so hard to pick favourites as they are all wonderful, but it would take forever to upload all 100 photographs! So, here is just a small selection of some of his fantastic photography:





Oh, and I just read that Patricia Field is going to be doing a 35 piece collection for M&S

“I have conceptualised the line as Destination Style New York and it consists of iconic womenswear including matching accessories. I like to see it as an expression of my philosophy of 'the democratisation of luxury’.”

Apprently (according to Marie Claire) the collection will consist of “‘luxury’ pieces with a nod to high-octane glamour.” So watch this space!

The House of Viktor & Rolf
18th June – 21st September 2008
Barbican Art Gallery

“A stunning new exhibition showcasing the work of Dutch fashion designers Viktor & Rolf opens on 18 June. This is the first time in the United Kingdom that an exhibition has been devoted to this highly influential duo. Over the past 15 years Viktor & Rolf have taken the fashion world by storm with their particular blend of cool irony and surreal beauty. The House of Viktor & Rolf presents each of the designer's signature pieces from 1992 to now, shown in a specially commissioned and characteristically theatrical installation that dominates the entire Gallery.”

I am so totally going to this! I love Viktor & Rolf’s stuff; it’s always playful and cutting edge. Here’s some looks from previous years:
