STARS IN MY EYES


Marion Cotillard wearing Jean Paul Gaultier couture while at the 80th Academy Awards in Los Angeles in 2008, but forget the dress - I'm looking at the Oscar. I FINALLY found out that I got a place on the 3 year acting course at The Oxford School of Drama!!! Well hello little gold man ★★★★★

THESE BOOTS WERE MADE FOR WALKING



Mary-Kate Olsen carrying a cute bag, and wearing the yummy (and I know I use that silly word a lot, but these reeeally are YUMMY) Balenciaga Autumn/Winter 2006 black harness strap boots that we all craved and tried to find knock-offs of, while out and about in Santa Monica on 06/01/08
Ahhhhhh! Thanks to 'Anonymous' I have learnt that these are actually NOT Balenciaga (MK tricked us all!) I'm very confused, because I'm sure all of the magazines around this time were calling them a Nicholas Ghesquiere creation?? Anyway, 'Anonymous' pointed out that the Balenciaga beauties have a much bigger platform, and LOOK - they do! Apparently the above boots are by Sam Edelman.. HELP! We've got some investigating to do! x

AND JIL CAME TUMBLING AFTER






Some of my favourites from the addictive Jak&Jil / Plus, I think pleats, cabs, Vuitton, bell-bottoms and kids are what life is all about

NUDE


Agyness Deyn, Heidi Mount, an unknown model and Sasha Pivovarova posing backstage before the Rodarte Spring/Summer 2009 Ready-to-Wear show
I'm so shit for not knowing who those other two beautiful models are, I think I may be loosing my fashion touch.. oh and p.s. I'm rather late yes, but has anybody else noticed how Sasha's face has looked a bit more fuller recently? Of course it's a wonderful thing because it probably means she's a lot healthier and happier, but I just thought I'd put it out there. Those shoes are making me drool, Mmmm gold {Photo Source: The Fashion Spot}

POLKA DOTS


A beautiful shot of some yummy shades from the book Influence (2008) by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen / I may faint over the 2nd, 3rd and 6th pairs..

CHINESE WHISPERS




Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen giggling and whispering while leaving the 2008 Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
I adore both of these lovely looks because they just so perfectly demonstrate each of MKA's style. Ashley's is black, tight, simple and elegant, while Mary-Kate's is gold, loose, sparkly and eccentric. Oh how I wish I knew what they were laughing and whispering about in their magical twin language.

FAKE/ORIGINAL






Publication: i-D July 2008 / Title: I'll Change Your Life/ Photographer: Emma Summerton / Model: Sasha Pivovarova / Stylist: Edward Enninful
Emma Summerton is fast becoming one of my favourite photographers of the moment, and she's done a lot of great work for i-D, British and Italian Vogue. These are so kooky and fun, and suite Sasha's style and face perfectly. I mean look at her mouth in that laughing shot - big and beautiful.

YAY OR NAY?



Erin Wasson wearing a fur jacket and tie-dye trousers while backstage at Alexander Wang Autumn/Winter 2009 Ready-to-Wear in New York
Any thoughts about this look? Because it's been a while since I first saw it during New York Fashion Week in February and I still can't decide.. I kind of love the fur (although I'd prefer it faux) because it reminds me a little of when Kate Moss rocked this look one year at Glastonbury. Her hair is such a beautiful length and caramel colour, quite similar to how Alexa Chung's is looking at the moment - half and half. As for the tie-dye trousers, I personally would never dream of wearing them, but I feel I may be getting sucked in by Wasson's cool reputation and 'model street style' quality (P.s. as you have probably noticed I have little posting obsessions with people occasionally, and I blog about them A LOT. I think it was Gemma Ward a while ago, then it was Alexa Chung, then Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and now it's Erin Wasson.. and of course it's Kate Moss ALL THE BLOODY TIME!)
