When I heard the buzz about Pedro Almodóvar being involved in this, naturally Ia ssumed he was directing, but oh no! Instead we see the Bad Education screenwriter taking a cameo role.<br />"Pedro had told me for years that he was keen to make something with us" explains Missoni creative director Angela Missoni.<br />"So I asked him this time and he offered to model in the campaign…It is a homage to the Spanish lifestyle with women and girls who love to party and dance into the night. It has been a great experience for all of us"<br /><br />The Spanish women she is refers to include top model Mariacarla Boscono, Flamenco dancer Eva Yerbabuena and actresses Rossy de Plama and Blanca Martínez Suárez, all modelling the ruffled designs from Missoni's spring/summer 2012 collection, which are perfect for dancing in and the music..interuppted by some rather heavy breathing and moans.. (be warned..turn the volume down if you're watching this at work) !<br />Almodóvar and company appeared in front of the lens of director Marco Maccapani for the humorous and conceptual video, which sees stills taken by fashion photographer Juergen Teller interspersed in the style of a beautiful pop-up book.<br />Naturally the film wouldn't be complete without the Missoni's themselves making an appearance. Look for a trio of Italian brunettes all sporting side partings and you'll discover creative director Angela Missoni (centre), and accessories designer and model Margherita (bottom).<br />Two of my favourite parts of the video has to be the Parma ham-playing gentleman who pops up for a couple of seconds at around 1.13 minutes in and a model who appears to pluck a long-stememd rose from her nether regions! Enjoy!x<br /><br /></div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_hV2BZNHb1U" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div>crozhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05947945974766893204noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6716717337683493618.post-8619013575359521812012-02-01T05:04:00.000-08:002012-02-27T09:32:24.765-08:00Spotty (but not the fashionable kind)<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7yiqJCcP4NzL5LZtmrba8eOcHINvhcVILmgTNV94xqI7KJY-7U-bOGtpRa2gJZ5e92p64vnhadXHt7PCFpK9TyHVDYxtxzh50AnZbPXEKrsgGfUCkusvZ4tgfA4FCi7IIRNryQLnUZVtk/s1600/spotty.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7yiqJCcP4NzL5LZtmrba8eOcHINvhcVILmgTNV94xqI7KJY-7U-bOGtpRa2gJZ5e92p64vnhadXHt7PCFpK9TyHVDYxtxzh50AnZbPXEKrsgGfUCkusvZ4tgfA4FCi7IIRNryQLnUZVtk/s320/spotty.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Yes..I have considered hiding.</td></tr></tbody></table><br />My posting, as regular readers will notice, has been absent for a couple of weeks. The reason for this is that I have been struck down. Admittedly that does sound rather dramatic but when one is feeling rubbish, one is allowed to wallow! My poor followers on the tweet-sphere have been regaled with an almost blow by blow account of the progression of the spots.<br /><br />It started, once upon a time on a Thursday, with a small patch of a rash on my tummy, red, raised little spots that were a bit itchy but not cripplingly so. I assumed it was a wool rash as I've suffered with these on and off for years and had been wearing a Cos wool dress that day. I hadn't changed my washing powder, cosmetics or anything like that..so I slapped a bit of hydro-cortisone on it and life went on as normal.<br /><br />The rash spread. The spots got bigger and more itchy, eventually they were all the way up to my chin and down to my knees, front and back. On Saturday I sat down on the sofa and fell asleep for nearly three hours. On Sunday I was not only red and itchy but exhausted. I didn't have a temperature or any other symptoms though. Monday came and I decided to whizz to the doctor. I'm from a family of doctors but an external opinion is always good and Daddy was in an Indian jungle with no email access.<br /><br />After the interminable wait in the waiting room....where I tried not to scratch my boobs..I eventually made it to my doctor. He took a cursory look at me and said, "I think it's pityriasis rosea, there's nothing we can really do about that. Try a hydro cortisone if the itching gets really bad."<br />"It is really bad. Seriously. My entire body is covered in angry red welts and I want to scratch my skin off and you're telling me there's nothing I can do about it? What causes it?"<br />"The causes are unknown but don't worry, it's not contagious and usually doesn't spread to the face."<br />"Wow..ok so my face MIGHT not get covered in horrific rash and I don't have to make the Boy sleep on the sofa. How long does it last for?"<br />"6 to 12 weeks. Did I mention that the side effects are chronic fatigue and nausea? It tends to get worse before it gets better so expect more spots."<br />(collapses to floor in despair)<br /><br />I left the doctors feeling VERY despondent..and still itching. The tiredness was almost as bad as the itch. I could barely get out of bed in the mornings and by three pm was ready to climb under my desk and snooze. In despair, I decided to Google it. Now usually this is the quick path to Crazy Town with a subway through Paranoia Alley but because this virus/ skin condition is so odd and so little has been known about it, people have been doing their own thing. The British Association of Dermatologists was helpful in terms of background but <a href="http://www.bad.org.uk/site/856/Default.aspx" target="_blank">not in terms of relief.</a> It was on line patient forums, particularly one called <a href="http://www.healthypages.co.uk/forum/skin-hair-nails/22552-pityriasis-rosea.html" target="_blank">Healthy Pages</a> that proved to provide some helpful advice..although of course read them with a good dollop of common sense.<br /><br />One of the suggestions was washing in Head and Shoulders all over, twice a day. I can't remember what the active ingredient was..but people had reported good effects. By Thursday, I was utterly miserable and went back to the Shire for some TLC. My dear family, who could see the rash in all it's glory, were hugely sympathetic. Hot water made it flare up even worse so relaxing baths were out! We bought the Head and Shoulders and fortunately had a giant vat of a skin cream called Dermol to hand. This cream is used as a moisturiser or cleanser for those suffering with severe eczema. Mummy ( a nurse) suggested taking a Benadryl once-a-day allergy pill every morning and so the regime started. I'd wash in the morning, all over with the H&S, then cover everything in Dermol and take my Benadryl as well as milk thistle and vitamin C supplements. If patches got particularly bad, I would apply H45 (like E45 but hydro cortisone). I also had a sunbed for 5 minutes on the Saturday. I would never ever normally advocate the use of sunbeds but exposure to UV light is apparently helpful to this skin condition and it certainly helped me. Only for a very short period though..not enough to get a tan or certainly not burn! This intensive treatment we kept up over the whole weekend. I also ended up sleeping for 12 hours every night and during the afternoon.<br /><br />Back to London on the Sunday and with work approaching on the Monday, the rash seemed to be calmer than it had been. I have kept up my routine (Head and Shoulders, full body coating in Dermol, Benadryl tablet and supplements) and have been going to bed at 10pm every evening. The patches do seem to be getting drier and darker in colour. I am continuing to wear all natural fabrics and have also been alcohol free for about 5 days..just as an added health benefit!<br /><br />I'm still cream-crackered and no-one would want to see me in a bikini yet (SERIOUSLY) but I'm praying that I'm over the worst of it. Keep your fingers crossed for me and if you see someone with rash patches up to their chin and sitting on their hands on the tube, give them a friendly smile, it might be me.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0qhjCrOZAuzPZjvWUiNHt1vFSKa5e50LnJO_RKjK6qbrEpy-aXIoAfEXQD5B8WpQtL5nGbQZ96CRZ_2dTikQG-TmB5a84Rq4lGPq2Bc6N2uyF9icyHIV3sMDIraiaKTiq-wl5qr37lazk/s1600/spots-Lousie.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0qhjCrOZAuzPZjvWUiNHt1vFSKa5e50LnJO_RKjK6qbrEpy-aXIoAfEXQD5B8WpQtL5nGbQZ96CRZ_2dTikQG-TmB5a84Rq4lGPq2Bc6N2uyF9icyHIV3sMDIraiaKTiq-wl5qr37lazk/s400/spots-Lousie.jpg" width="265" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Slightly more fashionable spots at Louise Gray, LFW 11</td></tr></tbody></table><br /></div>crozhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05947945974766893204noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6716717337683493618.post-1588923842531231382012-01-19T07:39:00.000-08:002012-02-27T09:32:24.765-08:00Prada Parade<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGs7gZCm-Fc0ZG5fJbdDjCYw7xtBpOg89LhMeTg553rlMKkTKjQxd5ogaSmgIZeliM-1RWL-0i06Okmk_HK-B8TYcfI6PwVxcnYKBbrwsIJUkg7DU8bnod9g6tMXG3HpMjRfg8bIXEGzaY/s1600/011712-prada-men-runway-623.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="410" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGs7gZCm-Fc0ZG5fJbdDjCYw7xtBpOg89LhMeTg553rlMKkTKjQxd5ogaSmgIZeliM-1RWL-0i06Okmk_HK-B8TYcfI6PwVxcnYKBbrwsIJUkg7DU8bnod9g6tMXG3HpMjRfg8bIXEGzaY/s640/011712-prada-men-runway-623.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Garrett Hedlund, Emile Hirsch, Adrien Brody, Tim Roth, and Jamie Bell</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br />Everyone needs a little pick-me-up at this point in the week and I'd be lying if I said this didn't make me slightly gooey. Men's fashion can pass me by, but occasionally something comes along which gets me excited and the Prada Autumn/ Winter Show was one of those moments. It described by Count..sorry, Gary Oldman as "two-minute theatre - a short blast of performance."<br /><br />One of the many things I love about this (as a Victorian specialist) is that these clothes wouldn't have looked out of place a hundred years ago. And it wasn't just the clothes that were of a certain vintage. Adrien Brody, Gary Oldman, Tim Roth and Willem Dafoe were among the actors cast by the company to stalk charismatically across an enormous, scarlet shagpile carpet in sober suits and double-breasted, high-revered overcoats - borderline frock-coats - that would not have been out of place circa 1890.<br /><br />Gary Oldman reckoned his outfit - dominating magisterial black overcoat with insignia at the chest - was "a little bit count Dracula". Adrien Brody's coat was a richly patterned scarlet number, with a two-toned furry collar. In it, he said, he acted the role of "an evil ruler - a dictator. I felt like there was a bit of 'off with your head about him'." He din't even crack a smile at the end unlike William Defoe who had looked quite scary until then and Garrett Hedlunch (Achilles/Brad Pitt's nephew who gets killed in Troy!!) who was clearly enjoying himself the entire time. Jamie Bell - who confessed that (not quite) rubbing shoulders with professional models made him realise quite how short he is - bless him!<br /><br /><br />Across the geometrical scarlet shagpile strode models (real ones at first) wearing expressions that were variously shifty, haughty or sly in trench coats, grey suits, shoes with galoshes-style rubber attachments and shirts from which sprouted up-to-the-chin polo necks. It was a tailoring show, although I did feel a bit sorry for the two chaps who appeared to be in tennis shorts with an overcoat..always a tricky look for the Modern man.<br /><br />It was also, said Prada afterwards, "about elegance and powerful dressing. I was working on man power. So this was a palazzo of power... we started with this idea of a mis-en-scene of the people in the palace. Spies, any kind of people who are living in the palace of power." And before you conclude that Prada is advocating dictator-dress next winter (which I'm on board with by the way), she added: "Also for me it was a parody of man power. It was not ironic - it was nasty."<br /><br />These chaps can walk over my carpet any day <br /><br /><br /></div><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/1YpD0tnGotE" width="560"></iframe><br /><br /><br /></div>crozhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05947945974766893204noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6716717337683493618.post-62192739654134429592012-01-17T02:58:00.000-08:002012-02-27T09:32:24.765-08:00Driving a Wedge<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguIVdZMJEVrkcg0-e1YDOaqWEGNsWg0zLJPWjs9jIu9vnOP1f1Vv-YIqqkGgYIXeqWXU6Y2XEr-CVzTzL5TqbI93m_A-tSk5FwsKmmM9hmfGRff2uU35O8_vjKVUxr8jT_zldN1Gg7xgl3/s1600/celebrities-isabel-marant-bekket-high-top-suede-sneakers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguIVdZMJEVrkcg0-e1YDOaqWEGNsWg0zLJPWjs9jIu9vnOP1f1Vv-YIqqkGgYIXeqWXU6Y2XEr-CVzTzL5TqbI93m_A-tSk5FwsKmmM9hmfGRff2uU35O8_vjKVUxr8jT_zldN1Gg7xgl3/s400/celebrities-isabel-marant-bekket-high-top-suede-sneakers.jpg" width="380" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Miranda Kerr and Julianne Moore in the Marant Beekket high-tops</td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Do you ever have those moments when you feel you've lost the plot ever so slightly? That is the feeling I get when I start thinking about wedge trainers. Are they fugly or are they fine? How often would I actually wear them? Then what on earth would I wear them with? I saw a very chic lady wearing the Isabel Marant ones at Paris Art Fair last September..OF COURSE it was in Paris and she was wearing them with skinny jeans and a fitted coat and look effortless and...well.. Parisian...but could I carry them off? (If anyone would like to donate a pair of Marant trainers to me so I can try this out, then do please email.)</span><br /><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Thanks to Marant, the hi-top is back. And this time it's got a wedge. The high street has jumped head first into the act and the 'ultimate sports luxe shoe' is set to continue in popularity. The reason I think it's popular is because it appeals to lazy people like me who find proper heels too much of a trial. <a href="http://millyfellintothewardrobe.blogspot.com/2011/04/karas-tree-trainer-girl.html" target="_blank">I've already embraced the high-top</a> and am a fan of the wedge..so why not the wedge trainer? Elle tells us that the wedge trainer is "perfect for adding edge to a pair of skinnies or a leather skirt teamed with opaque's right now, they'll be just as covetable with a denim mini-dress come Spring." Well Elle, I think this is true if you have legs like Bambi for for mere mortals you might end up looking like the lesser known eighth dwarf, Stumpy.

The work wind down, running away to the Shire, family, eating, Christmas, then Christmas recovery, it all takes time! Now it is New Year's Eve Eve and I'm curled up writing this and listening to the Possession omnibus on iplayer (one of my favourite novels of all time). Santa Claus has been wonderful to me and I still have a few days left of holiday, so what better time than to look back at the favourite bits of 2011, so I thought I'd do five 'top fives'. Snooze..EVERYONE looks back at the best and worst around this time I know, but it is a good opportunity to do so, so why buck a trend?!<br /><br />Thank you to every single one of you who has read me this year, it means the absolute world to me. Every single time I get a comment and it's not from a member of my direct family, it brightens my entire week. I skimmed over the first year anniversary of the blog back in February because..truthfully..I forgot. It's so enjoyable writing it that I've rarely paid attention to dates except now when I've just had a wee skim through the old posts so thank you, thank you, thank you all again. I hope you've had a superb Christmas and a happy New Year is just around the corner.....x<br /><b><br /></b><br /><b>Five Best Fashion Purchases - not in order, that would be far too hard.</b><br /><br />1.

These were fantastic for both work and play and SO hard-wearing and stylish at the same time.<br />5.

Lucas' Paw Paw Ointment - awesome for pretty much everything, including the odd spot!<br />3. MaxFactor Falsh Lash Effect Mascara - I still love my DiorShow but for a budget substitute this cannot be beaten.<br />4. Floris Night Scented Jasmine - I love this fragrance, it hasn't replaced my Jo Malone Orange Blossom or Acqua di Palma Iris but it is an incredible bath foam and moisturiser. The scent is unlike anything I have ever smelt before and transforms your bathroom.<br />5. Temple Spa - pretty much every product I've tried so far but special mention going to the Palm Balm hand lotion, Quietitude mist (amazing on long haul flights) and Peace Be Still, a wonderful body balm.

The Beekeeper's Apprentice, Laurie R King<br />A Sherlock Holmes spin off but much much more. Mary Russell, his young apprentice will draw you in and seduce you with her spunk and good humour, plus a constant stream of damn good mysteries!<br /><br /><br />2. Never Let Me Go, Kazuo Ishiguro<br />Needs no introduction after the film version this year. A book I didn't really get when I first tried to read it a few years ago but when I tried again, I couldn't put it down.<br /><br />3.

A corking read and an absolute delight to those intrigued by the enigma that is Mrs Simpson.<br /><br />4. The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins<br />I cannot wait for the film of this to come out! After scoffing at all the people reading this and dismissing it as trashy teen fiction, I ate my words after reading it in desperation why I ran out of books on holiday. Edge of the seat stuff, make your life easier and buy the entire trilogy together so you don't have to leave your armchair between books.<br /><br />5. Must You Go? My Life With Harold Pinter, Antonia Fraser<br /><br />A wonderful peek into the life of one of the most famous literary couples of our time and a heart wrenching love story. A book I shall definitely be re-reading as it is so chocca full of details, I know I will discover new ones each time.<br /><br /><b>Five Favourite Films - I adore going to the cinema and again, these couldn't possibly in order.</b><br /><br />1.

Hanna - It blew me away, <span class="st">Saoirse Ronan's performance, the Chemical Brothers soundtrack, the weird fairytale elements of the story. Awesome.</span><br /><br />3. We Need to Talk About Kevin - Loved the book and was worried about the film despite the wonderful pedigree of Lynne Ramsey and Tilda Swinton<br /><br />4. Midnight in Paris - a beautiful bubble of a picture that I randomly saw in New York with the Boy on a romantic night out. Allen back on form but also fab for anyone who adores fiction, the Left Bank and well..Woody Allen.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr9GiQQHcApOzp4LmMOwlAXJpUokkqJL6vzB-ltuEvSbxn_h9c_ieEr8yS8kwmQyBd7MMyKO9IxNbrImZNQqAaHC8IQtu4EyUN9pXXS4VPh8Zl8exLNAI32k22ReZmwauolRV_flAOrf0/s1600/midnight%252Bin%252Bparis_m.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr9GiQQHcApOzp4LmMOwlAXJpUokkqJL6vzB-ltuEvSbxn_h9c_ieEr8yS8kwmQyBd7MMyKO9IxNbrImZNQqAaHC8IQtu4EyUN9pXXS4VPh8Zl8exLNAI32k22ReZmwauolRV_flAOrf0/s400/midnight%252Bin%252Bparis_m.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />5.

Watching Madame Butterfly on a giant screen in Leicester Square whilst it's playing live from the Opera House with a plastic bucket of Pimms.<br />5. Again, not a 'favourite' but certainly one of the most memorable moments of the year was attending a memorial service for the incredible Josephine Hart at Westminster Abbey. A service and a lady that I will never forget.<br /><br /><br /></div>crozhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05947945974766893204noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6716717337683493618.post-76046511127346724272011-12-08T03:39:00.000-08:002012-02-27T09:32:24.765-08:00Watch Your Wallets - Sample Sale alert<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">You’re going to need a schedule to hit all of these goodies today: pick up some sculptured shoes, fluoro dresses, sexy under-garms, ready-to-wear Erdem, and a Lee Broom statement lighting piece all in a day’s work.

I like the fact that I can skip and potentially run away from ninja attackers should they pounce. I also think that heels are not a prerequisite for a smart evening do. That's not to say I'm anti giving myself a bit of a lift and yes, they do make my legs more Bambi like but I'm always happier in something that I'm comfortable in. The problem is that the majority of my shoes are French Soles. "Spolit cow!" you cry, "why are you whinging about having piles of expensive shoes in pretty colours?!" I am NOT moaning, I love them dearly and have collected them and cared for them for many years but, although smart and great for that day to evening switch..newsflash...they aren't great in the Winter and London has suddenly got chilly.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCljB5yaqLvf3zI3FmDjUcCF07WBllr2s7YyjHDGbhFDVlx-VDBoIowVN_GO_274t8x-7dmQeBXiZB9KxmYELnYY0U5Cs3QX2FVPg1j7MCrrjDWSL_G60093_gjAZ2Z-oiSP4yW8uSZhFh/s1600/16_florence_welsh__2068815a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCljB5yaqLvf3zI3FmDjUcCF07WBllr2s7YyjHDGbhFDVlx-VDBoIowVN_GO_274t8x-7dmQeBXiZB9KxmYELnYY0U5Cs3QX2FVPg1j7MCrrjDWSL_G60093_gjAZ2Z-oiSP4yW8uSZhFh/s320/16_florence_welsh__2068815a.jpg" width="211" /></a></div>I'm not a huge fan of knee high boots (a bit Sloaney pony for my taste), my Westwood pirate boots are perfection but tan leather (not practical) and my mannish brogues are all in suede! Now I do like a wedge shoe boot and my Clarks Yarra deserts in black are great to take you from day to evening but again they're suede too and what to do when it's freezing, wet and/ or snowing and you still have to go to work or head out for the night?<br /><br />You could do a K-Stew, as I'm calling it. By the time the credits rolled on the London premiere of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 , the latest offering from her fanged-up franchise, Stewart had made herself an Everywoman. How? By swapping her staggeringly high Jimmy Choo heels for a pair of well-worn Nikes halfway through proceedings, an act of comfort-comes-first rebellion which many women, including me, would applaud. But, why not wear flats in the first place Kristen? Save yourself the drama and your bunions buy opting for the smart flat like these ladies..<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-kpsUFsmHMaDBkd1Stgbw8lHsZ0euedIXdcK9uUarHksVZlg_CQpRiCtLh2AnATN_UEDU6MeCJBTFtNzRhmzO0pXqyJDxMoEueBWofJt2D7d5m1R4qzSrk1LhmqGMxJaTJlnlSBx_57Ev/s1600/NATALIA-VODIANOVA-_2075417a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-kpsUFsmHMaDBkd1Stgbw8lHsZ0euedIXdcK9uUarHksVZlg_CQpRiCtLh2AnATN_UEDU6MeCJBTFtNzRhmzO0pXqyJDxMoEueBWofJt2D7d5m1R4qzSrk1LhmqGMxJaTJlnlSBx_57Ev/s400/NATALIA-VODIANOVA-_2075417a.jpg" width="273" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNMATSYk2Mb9zwSnzHGeSVBPoGBWXwYpaf57QMMp6iyEYbnlakmGkdIl7T_kRcI0-uwMskUbZjb0ZkTJeE4oD6ZNLj8HJc3P-baKbVomAZtnxBLu72lf3pUjS4vYg1lErZ6sWVbYBZNrMU/s1600/SOFIA-COPPOLA-G_2050289a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNMATSYk2Mb9zwSnzHGeSVBPoGBWXwYpaf57QMMp6iyEYbnlakmGkdIl7T_kRcI0-uwMskUbZjb0ZkTJeE4oD6ZNLj8HJc3P-baKbVomAZtnxBLu72lf3pUjS4vYg1lErZ6sWVbYBZNrMU/s400/SOFIA-COPPOLA-G_2050289a.jpg" width="273" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1YyeeA01R5-KUO_6zicNodzmg0iHOtsWiNcNi4wD-q289rE-HfYoTTXcyRllvj_QhFAk7BdWDisZZGKXEuyWDQZzKXxJVklFkJik8SfVpIDYcHRSTserdJy3ZJ4TJD7cW8-Gdk3hT8MpI/s1600/vivienne-westwood-melissa-womens-219843-52204_zoom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1YyeeA01R5-KUO_6zicNodzmg0iHOtsWiNcNi4wD-q289rE-HfYoTTXcyRllvj_QhFAk7BdWDisZZGKXEuyWDQZzKXxJVklFkJik8SfVpIDYcHRSTserdJy3ZJ4TJD7cW8-Gdk3hT8MpI/s320/vivienne-westwood-melissa-womens-219843-52204_zoom.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>I have to admit that if the weather gets really bad, my navy Hunters are my absolute standby but for smart and practical I love my Melissa by Vivienne Westwood Chelsea boots. Made of plastic which gives them a patent sheen, they go with pretty much everything. When I wear my Hunters, I'll put a pair of pretty flats in my bag for when I get to work but with these, I don't have to! Another good investment are a decent pair of woolly tights..I have pairs in black, grey, plum and cable knit...all from Marks and Spencer's! If you're under 5' 5" like me (although I claim to be absolutely on the nose of 5'5" WHICH I AM) you can still shop in the school uniform section and save yourself a few pounds!<br /><br />Finally, the lovely Ms Stewart also did a quick change at the Los Angeles premiere of her movie, swapping what look to be the same pair of black Choos for..yup..trainers again. Give the girl a pair of French Soles for goodness sake! Who says you have to wear heels to be smart?

Nesting can be a full time occupation, it should involve cashmere, hot chocolate/ mulled wine and The Killing box set. Annoyingly, our internet is not up and running yet so I'm pulling a bit of a sneaky by blogging in my lunch hour at work. Naughty, naughty.<br /><br />Things I love about the flat so far - mounds of storage, especially wardrobe storage; MY (our) things everywhere, be that Venetian mirrors, the Boy's contemporary art, a store cupboard full of ingredients, having a garden, lots of book shelves...although we still need more!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLIvM9TVMU4oato91ibJcYCGfxDepVTfBhLJKxu2LZ_zAIJQwKAOKOLhV_sP20p5h6OPPFU7H_pk9_jdA8Sx48IeFFHLuR-bMv62x5xtuf5RiN2goglHNg67qmxiTULw28TpSzJfvJSC7i/s1600/heart+shape.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLIvM9TVMU4oato91ibJcYCGfxDepVTfBhLJKxu2LZ_zAIJQwKAOKOLhV_sP20p5h6OPPFU7H_pk9_jdA8Sx48IeFFHLuR-bMv62x5xtuf5RiN2goglHNg67qmxiTULw28TpSzJfvJSC7i/s1600/heart+shape.jpeg" /></a></div><br />Things I don't love - ummmm..not having a bath!

Aside from the obvious like The Selby and Closet Visit, I've also discovered <a href="http://style-files.com/">The Style Files</a>, <a href="http://www.ikeahackers.net/">Ikea Hackers</a>, <a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/">Apartment Therapy</a>.. especially good if, like me, you like a good nose around people's houses. Money is a bit tight at the moment as the flat was completely unfurnished. This was wonderful in a way as we can make it completely 'ours' but also a bit 'aaargh..we have to buy everything!!'. It was things like a TV, hoover, organising the Internet etc that came at us a bit out of the blue aside from the obvious sofa, kitchen table and chairs etc.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL2p7LiGGObn0RlW0axu1XHVyiv8VvaaIKmEMYwVm9zRVtEjK1NteeBIWVF_7Hnre6Tsb8Llhkw2WCby4iNwr3CuzpNKJwmSjQdQPJmm3CrkwdeB_WOl6xpvtmEc-Dhl5JdQUGbmyGLFW-/s1600/herb_garden.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="305" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL2p7LiGGObn0RlW0axu1XHVyiv8VvaaIKmEMYwVm9zRVtEjK1NteeBIWVF_7Hnre6Tsb8Llhkw2WCby4iNwr3CuzpNKJwmSjQdQPJmm3CrkwdeB_WOl6xpvtmEc-Dhl5JdQUGbmyGLFW-/s320/herb_garden.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />Having a garden is a real bonus, especially in London. Ours is paved and a decent size and the previous tenants left us all their garden furniture which was marvellous! I envisage buying lots of herbs and potting them beautifully (as above) but I think it might be more prudent to wait until it gets a bit warmer!<br /><br />What makes you happy about where you live? I'll get back to fashion soon..today is pay day after all and a small splurge might be in order!</div>crozhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05947945974766893204noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6716717337683493618.post-44376480712332241972011-11-28T07:37:00.000-08:002012-02-27T09:32:24.766-08:00Different Hat<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9B8Aeydww7CMAsWk90zMWY9BymyXH1tVXlCmO7HR36Rh9VQCj6Usyqt8r4SuOv04Rm7umeLQ1S1UZ5W2VxU-A2rzQg6EmwXUvqaT9TdtHPJO6mNLnC4-IwvBbmdAACp7zgv3RvsXJ8hPI/s1600/article-2039854-0E007E5800000578-628_468x383.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="261" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9B8Aeydww7CMAsWk90zMWY9BymyXH1tVXlCmO7HR36Rh9VQCj6Usyqt8r4SuOv04Rm7umeLQ1S1UZ5W2VxU-A2rzQg6EmwXUvqaT9TdtHPJO6mNLnC4-IwvBbmdAACp7zgv3RvsXJ8hPI/s320/article-2039854-0E007E5800000578-628_468x383.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />"All the world's a stage,</div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;">And all the men and women merely players:</div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;">They have their exits and their entrances;</div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;">And one man in his time plays many parts...."</div><br />So I have swapped hats..one from love to another like the floozy that I am.

More than this, I'm moving in with The Boy. Living with one of Them..not on my own as I have done for many years. It's exciting and scary all at the same time but, to be honest, I haven't had a huge amount of time to think about it. I've been too busy trying to clear out stuff, Ebay stuff (actually my wonderful Mama has been doing that) and trying not to freak out. I have three of my best girlfriends coming over tomorrow night to help and am extremely grateful. I see it as a sort of pyjama party, but one where there will be wine and we will hopefully achieve a lot and put lots of things in boxes and suitcases. Also pyjamas are causing big beeps on the fashion radar at the moment.<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-aGXRY4l3pKrsXlVoNLq4YAnrQ9JmyK6nQKE8MqYK6aX3hgV6bbWcoznpSg47xl-5krNTYLEeUBt-z8H7hivUZFyQdeyxQgFZKQUuACMWn0fikEczN_8oleARIXEL74DTogPrZrQu9q4J/s1600/pj+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-aGXRY4l3pKrsXlVoNLq4YAnrQ9JmyK6nQKE8MqYK6aX3hgV6bbWcoznpSg47xl-5krNTYLEeUBt-z8H7hivUZFyQdeyxQgFZKQUuACMWn0fikEczN_8oleARIXEL74DTogPrZrQu9q4J/s400/pj+1.jpg" width="265" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Jim Jams from Louis Vuitton's Cruise 12 collection</td></tr></tbody></table><br />I'm in two minds about them. In one way, I want to embrace them, being a huge fan of nesting and luxe lounge wear generally, but many don't fall into this category. In some cases you can actually look like you are wearing pyjamas and you ran out of your bed to a party. I'm talking about you Rachel Roy. I don't care if you've put red lippie on and managed to brush your hair..you forgot to set your alarm and pegged it to the One Day premiere.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-_Caz3ARKTJzKQksRjJkzBWQLVH9MYOFR1PP85MKc4_HGEca1xNQpAXtn6Nwt5k3-C4m4DWFX4B5SIG74aHgWo_ZR6QWroKO4n8mRrIXD6vkBfKjYAYAGnSaMn5thcuMGM0BJql6D7MyO/s1600/pj+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-_Caz3ARKTJzKQksRjJkzBWQLVH9MYOFR1PP85MKc4_HGEca1xNQpAXtn6Nwt5k3-C4m4DWFX4B5SIG74aHgWo_ZR6QWroKO4n8mRrIXD6vkBfKjYAYAGnSaMn5thcuMGM0BJql6D7MyO/s400/pj+3.jpg" width="265" /></a></div><br />Sometimes you could just be in a rather jazzy suit...Pippa Holt, contributing editor at Vogue (left) manages to look quite put together and I like the bed hair.

Maybe not as big over here as it is in the States but still an excuse to get your spook on and dress up as fantastically as you wish. In honour of the most dark of holidays, here a selection of fabulous images Walker did a couple of years ago, inspired and featuring Tim Burton. Such an extraordinary blend of beauty and creativity with Gothic darkness creeping around the sides, I find them an endless source of inspiration. I'm sorry I've been off radar for a couple of weeks, there is a reason that shall be revealed next time. In the meantime, enjoy these fabulous images!

I have to be honest, jumpers have foxed me...I'm still on the hunt AND another confession..I found almost everything I want at Cos..expect the big one, my new Winter coat..here it is...<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN4x7_wKlEuzTelIklAtWqAglFcNRAtJN3jFcRFEg4vesvjMUIUru1osORjV01o2zfi5DsqE1F6od7V4osltXj60rTY76p0nKukFhVgCeWGQ9bZiZAOVDoisr-rfYvMw4qjQl87FXpiBNc/s1600/7764856809_2_3_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN4x7_wKlEuzTelIklAtWqAglFcNRAtJN3jFcRFEg4vesvjMUIUru1osORjV01o2zfi5DsqE1F6od7V4osltXj60rTY76p0nKukFhVgCeWGQ9bZiZAOVDoisr-rfYvMw4qjQl87FXpiBNc/s400/7764856809_2_3_3.jpg" width="311" /></a></div><br />Quite clearly, that's not me in the picture but my gosh, look at that coat. The gorgeous soft grey colour, the almost shawl like collar, the way it has no fastenings which makes it appear more streamlined, the way that it is formal and yet, casual at the same time. It has more than a hint of Isabel Marant but I think it's better. Not just because it's cheaper (although that's an undeniable help!) but because I actually think the quality is better. The three people I know who own IM coats have all suffered from the same issues..stitching coming away and bobbling. I thought I'd stick with my old favourite and Zara, you've done me proud.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipaE9duGuOogn0G-AEc5E03eDhcIN9f1uFS4fn74syaBdXuVdJxaTC24CQkxFRxBYHsOQaj0zHatz_kP0RF8d3sCM9IZek-2hDDc9zAqm_6EbR4wDUceqDVVtUYGsed7na8razLmAaCzcn/s1600/dress.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipaE9duGuOogn0G-AEc5E03eDhcIN9f1uFS4fn74syaBdXuVdJxaTC24CQkxFRxBYHsOQaj0zHatz_kP0RF8d3sCM9IZek-2hDDc9zAqm_6EbR4wDUceqDVVtUYGsed7na8razLmAaCzcn/s320/dress.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNrVKDH3V120PpjlBra_7E_3iWAMRV2-r9ZQIWWLg-Uo8tfjTLJLhsFLj8ORbjLXtI_q2-NPCD0Oe2gdnYvlU10TXCJ-Phj1KVE10hwxuENInU_9r-CoeAU_xEsb1KqZio1y7AJ7BjsFGw/s1600/dress+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNrVKDH3V120PpjlBra_7E_3iWAMRV2-r9ZQIWWLg-Uo8tfjTLJLhsFLj8ORbjLXtI_q2-NPCD0Oe2gdnYvlU10TXCJ-Phj1KVE10hwxuENInU_9r-CoeAU_xEsb1KqZio1y7AJ7BjsFGw/s320/dress+3.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><br />So to Cos. Every Winter I have searched for the perfect jumper dress. Well, thanks to Cos I've found them. If they had been made in five different colours, I'd probably have bought all of them but as it is, my wallet (and rent money) is weeping a sigh of relief. This jumper dress is made from soft merino wool and tapers slightly at the hem creating a loose cocoon shape, it's also a wee bit oversized which is perfect for me as I don't really do cling! Available in Cocoa and Grass Green, the darker shade is perfect for everyday with flat mannish brogues and the bright green is smashing on a sunny, crisp day paired with leggings and my leopard French Soles.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1ycbAJI3wsK0kQJ7XzL3qhxb6ypwhcPyKb7s9AhQnvwTTd7Wr5gXKCPJ7k738CNk6YSnPDLIu4T48iAAwwzSvlf-zOGj8-fLIQQwXuFflvvKi6fvvZmbPGu4tJGzAVqaNTs0Ftds4CI8p/s1600/dress+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1ycbAJI3wsK0kQJ7XzL3qhxb6ypwhcPyKb7s9AhQnvwTTd7Wr5gXKCPJ7k738CNk6YSnPDLIu4T48iAAwwzSvlf-zOGj8-fLIQQwXuFflvvKi6fvvZmbPGu4tJGzAVqaNTs0Ftds4CI8p/s320/dress+2.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><br />I really do have a weak spot for dresses, I think it's because they pretty much always do day to evening, because you can always through them on and boom!

I was mentally prepared for nesting, wearing knitwear and tights and crunching through mounds of brightly coloured leaves in my Hunters...instead, I'm back in Summer. Grooming has been shifted to top of the priority list and sundresses have been shaken out of storage. My Autumn wardrobe post will have to wait.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBr-z1w0IbaEevSKWOMCKy0Hp8cj5EeTeXMKHnvi98GaECHCzNERHYV3oab8xdAwpXYijELQ1hMu7tLHppywZmYGJfoheqPHSOqM3Ljqy7WlLbOvBhQTrxO11VEaiuruCYTCCCNQ_1FoCK/s1600/Michelle-Williams-Marilyn-Monroe-Vogue+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBr-z1w0IbaEevSKWOMCKy0Hp8cj5EeTeXMKHnvi98GaECHCzNERHYV3oab8xdAwpXYijELQ1hMu7tLHppywZmYGJfoheqPHSOqM3Ljqy7WlLbOvBhQTrxO11VEaiuruCYTCCCNQ_1FoCK/s320/Michelle-Williams-Marilyn-Monroe-Vogue+%25281%2529.jpg" width="234" /></a></div><br />However, there is nothing like a bit of style inspiration for a Friday and I was blown away seeing these pictures of Michelle Williams as Marilyn Monroe. It's been said that you can be divided into two camps of style, those fans of the gamine, beautiful Audrey or the megawatt smile and curves of Marilyn. I disagree, I love them both..two of my favourite films of all time are <i>Some Like it Hot</i> and <i>Funny Face</i>. I've day dreamed about being both, it depends on my mood and they are both captivating in their own way.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF-wt_fpkDDpw1gWA4ry2BGPESeI1C9s4J94Ux1-vV_jieqaAiUnb7xahLtt_YURcmFKdXSEpLfdXhly-eqknYTUaPdeal2lUAOjqMLbS3hZqGh-mXRT8DWANMXybweCDB_RklBhXscSEW/s1600/Michelle-Williams-Marilyn-Monroe-Vogue+%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="272" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF-wt_fpkDDpw1gWA4ry2BGPESeI1C9s4J94Ux1-vV_jieqaAiUnb7xahLtt_YURcmFKdXSEpLfdXhly-eqknYTUaPdeal2lUAOjqMLbS3hZqGh-mXRT8DWANMXybweCDB_RklBhXscSEW/s400/Michelle-Williams-Marilyn-Monroe-Vogue+%25282%2529.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />You can imagine my excitement when I heard about this film..Directed by Simon Curtis <i>My Week With Marilyn </i>is based on Colin Clark's diaries which depict the making of the 1957 film <i>The Prince and the Showgirl</i> which starred Marilyn Monroe and Laurence Olivier. The cast includes such stellar names as Kenneth Branagh as Olivier and Eddie Redmayne as Clark himself. <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-jkWgU-InFWnjrsiAfOBeXwloR4gY0Ev3U3HKXxV0zsFhI-7DAjPJnvmsbf7IQ8Nhi5Nr4fgB_Vm9A6F8crPaAAOqeLDPYs3FVE3eBq3hmV6TSay8d8XAUfDgcqj15XJ5KHIOA-eqKhyn/s1600/1011-VO-WELL48-01_174944458258.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="273" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-jkWgU-InFWnjrsiAfOBeXwloR4gY0Ev3U3HKXxV0zsFhI-7DAjPJnvmsbf7IQ8Nhi5Nr4fgB_Vm9A6F8crPaAAOqeLDPYs3FVE3eBq3hmV6TSay8d8XAUfDgcqj15XJ5KHIOA-eqKhyn/s400/1011-VO-WELL48-01_174944458258.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">With Dougray Scott as Arthur Miller</td></tr></tbody></table><br />It is Colin’s brief encounter with Monroe as her confidant, protector, and almost lover that gives <i>My Week with Marilyn</i> its tender heart. Dougray Scott stars as Monroe’s aloof husband, Arthur Miller; Dominic Cooper as her anxious business partner Milton Greene; and Zoë Wanamaker as her Svengali-like acting coach Paula Strasberg; there are also stylish cameos by Simon Russell Beale, Sir Derek Jacobi, and, as Dame Sybil Thorndike, the great British treasure which is Dame Judi...or 'The Dench' as I recently heard Tom Wilkinson refer to her as.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqSb47Br74SigxwApAjg3Wr8Xrli3suGVIETXezW8Y7vRq_Dd8wKSE4VMZzz0OkV1LZqIA_NQhrQPxoCLvJGigwZ5ZoSOJGCiZ0-sTCP3slI0VoF2K_31l5hRLoVDW4JhFaez-c90OLyTq/s1600/Michelle-Williams-Marilyn-Monroe-Vogue+%25283%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="273" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqSb47Br74SigxwApAjg3Wr8Xrli3suGVIETXezW8Y7vRq_Dd8wKSE4VMZzz0OkV1LZqIA_NQhrQPxoCLvJGigwZ5ZoSOJGCiZ0-sTCP3slI0VoF2K_31l5hRLoVDW4JhFaez-c90OLyTq/s400/Michelle-Williams-Marilyn-Monroe-Vogue+%25283%2529.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-hTfXTNsRJxT1IG8PxoLUXMfUiy07sYznNe-3Scxho_-2j1kX4wN1oDWzGBjYnTADDE2w4KfKSEPIBs52rAtPU8aklRs-2HQbRwVHl-pSZzfFhpJsV72nXwdyAp3WKZE42wc-0Tra8Pxg/s1600/Michelle-Williams-Marilyn-Monroe-Vogue+%25284%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="272" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-hTfXTNsRJxT1IG8PxoLUXMfUiy07sYznNe-3Scxho_-2j1kX4wN1oDWzGBjYnTADDE2w4KfKSEPIBs52rAtPU8aklRs-2HQbRwVHl-pSZzfFhpJsV72nXwdyAp3WKZE42wc-0Tra8Pxg/s400/Michelle-Williams-Marilyn-Monroe-Vogue+%25284%2529.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsM_dpB46DemYNm1tOSObW4Ieqto7EZVBb2TrgKiRNrg1GjpZTMEPIFUkXJXTbz3a1Jay37D4e6vjuh8MtxRMkQtQb6dyius5Z_yTerEivbdmEOj9kVk3JzEib4hCbqqgyaQWEVNZJRA-u/s1600/michelle-williams-marilyn-monroe-photos.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsM_dpB46DemYNm1tOSObW4Ieqto7EZVBb2TrgKiRNrg1GjpZTMEPIFUkXJXTbz3a1Jay37D4e6vjuh8MtxRMkQtQb6dyius5Z_yTerEivbdmEOj9kVk3JzEib4hCbqqgyaQWEVNZJRA-u/s400/michelle-williams-marilyn-monroe-photos.jpg" width="305" /></a></div><br />All photographs by Annie Leibovitz and the full Vogue interview with Michelle Williams by Adam Green, <a href="http://www.vogue.com/magazine/article/michelle-williams-my-week-with-michelle/#">here.</a> I'm off to sizzle and have a glass of champagne in honour of Marilyn/ Michelle, any excuse!

I wasn't going to update until next week with part 2 of my Autumn purchases blog but along with clothes (and food!), books are the one of the things that make me happiest. <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2011/sep/15/guardian-book-swap-15000-volume-giveaway">The Guardian is launching its six-week autumn books season with a book swap</a> by distributing 15,000 titles in various public locations around the country this weekend. What a super idea!!<br /><br />Thousands of books were gathered from publishers and authors and will be left where readers are likely to chance upon them, from stations and coffee shops to galleries and museums. Participants are asked to insert a bookplate sticker into the front of their book, write a message for the finder, then leave the book somewhere it will be picked up.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYmbo8QKsgUUI13zR_rHKzkswcF_cMtCt8aIk1ClpIcd3Ar5jaDNdcKm-RcZNcDF3mzqB_xBmZAyAxHAWKBDX1MAW6aneRK307TCcIE3-IyRDvmAM6q2adnBX_OCe1VstGp3UgrnBTSJGp/s1600/books+three.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="288" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYmbo8QKsgUUI13zR_rHKzkswcF_cMtCt8aIk1ClpIcd3Ar5jaDNdcKm-RcZNcDF3mzqB_xBmZAyAxHAWKBDX1MAW6aneRK307TCcIE3-IyRDvmAM6q2adnBX_OCe1VstGp3UgrnBTSJGp/s320/books+three.gif" width="320" /></a></div><br />And not a million miles away in concept, <a href="http://www.worldbooknight.org/your-books/the-wbn-interactive-top-100-books">World Book Night</a> have finally released their top 10 titles. Did your choice make the cut?

In reality I know that getting up in the dark and leaving work in the dark, lots of rain and the inevitable snowball of busy-ness before Christmas will grate but for now, all I can think about it clothes, woolly tights and snug boots.<br /><br />Here are my Autumn purchases so far...As an avid collector of French Sole pumps in every colour and pattern, flats were not high on the priority list for me. I already have leopard, black patent quilted, cream quilt with a black toe blah blah blah. Also..when the weather gets really bad, wear my navy blue Hunters and carry flats in my bag to work.

Whether you like the Dicker, the Forbes or the Bidou, the same principles in design were there. Beige suede, an almost Cuban heel, slightly slouchy and perfect with an array of outfits. Well I found ANOTHER perfect pair. Every time I have worn them I have received so many compliments and I didn't have to sell a kidney to get them.

Topshop has come up trumps this season and if I could, I would bulk buy in multiples. In their Boutique range I bought an over sized black slash-neck with 3/4 length sleeves in a cotton and cashmere mix and a white low v neck. Lastly I splashed out a crepe, navy v neck tee from Ghost. Because of the fabric, it has worked well on more formal occasions with some dressy accessories as well as during the day.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRqP30sLFUPtKLQ72ClB3O1HMtM7eY5agb7O-gU-n_XHffan_cYw_QYwxL38sITpnA_68X7kLYwXwHgZ7X1ZYln618PRuxG2TK9SXpqCloEIt3tUNW01Srcx2V9LQt52fT_TmAIsWn46za/s1600/tie+dress.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRqP30sLFUPtKLQ72ClB3O1HMtM7eY5agb7O-gU-n_XHffan_cYw_QYwxL38sITpnA_68X7kLYwXwHgZ7X1ZYln618PRuxG2TK9SXpqCloEIt3tUNW01Srcx2V9LQt52fT_TmAIsWn46za/s400/tie+dress.jpg" width="312" /></a></div><br /><br />This dress is perfect for work and maybe even the weekend too..I loved the fine wool, ever so slightly textured fabric that you can't see in the picture. The built in Obi belt that you can pull it as tight as you like and the neckline is so elegant. It came in red too but unsurprisingly..I bought it in black.<br /><br />I'm still on the hunt for the perfect knit..if anyone has found a lovely one in navy, burgundy or grey, please let me know.

In fact, we've been rather spoilt. Then, whilst I'm foaming at the mouth over the new series of Downton Abbey appearing on the horizon, along comes the announcement that Doctor Who star Karen Gillan is to play '60s model Jean Shrimpton in a new BBC film.<br /><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixli1kYHVrxFmeqEsgL4TRt9khD9a4FJXo7XMl4qa2jOEDJE4Dz2DtxuONVKAOTGKlIJbx0omLYZLLSxH_FW08w3LbE2vy5U02ikhuOsU84UPg1EZHdeB_LKO5CH50xgc_d376NwcJRh6B/s1600/SHRIMPTON-GILLAN_1860661a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixli1kYHVrxFmeqEsgL4TRt9khD9a4FJXo7XMl4qa2jOEDJE4Dz2DtxuONVKAOTGKlIJbx0omLYZLLSxH_FW08w3LbE2vy5U02ikhuOsU84UPg1EZHdeB_LKO5CH50xgc_d376NwcJRh6B/s320/SHRIMPTON-GILLAN_1860661a.jpg" width="260" /></a></div><br />Gillan, who plays Amy Pond in the hit series, will swap lumberjack shirts for structured shift dresses to star in the biopic of fashion photographer David Bailey, with whom Shrimpton embarked on a four-year love affair with after meeting him on a photo shoot.

For those not in the know, Bailey used Shrimpton as his model for a 1962 photo shoot for Vogue magazine in New York. Shrimpton was considered a bold move for the photographer but the resulting shoot defined the style of the 1960s. The story that is told in this drama is about that time and how the two fell in love along the way (awwwww). Also rather exciting is the luscious actor set up to play David Bailey....Aneurin Barnar.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd6JrT0Xt3wHwlr9Y4lveDJ_QgdKsqSbkF_IvdxHbM2B972DBRZCoBcqBZ3GBTVdQH0begDZBmwzU6Ch4cY5dTG4Am5-EzWDu1iUFt13QiySZtmtRQtF3l0kMYaAeEXslgz_ntKn5IHymP/s1600/aneurin+barnar.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd6JrT0Xt3wHwlr9Y4lveDJ_QgdKsqSbkF_IvdxHbM2B972DBRZCoBcqBZ3GBTVdQH0begDZBmwzU6Ch4cY5dTG4Am5-EzWDu1iUFt13QiySZtmtRQtF3l0kMYaAeEXslgz_ntKn5IHymP/s400/aneurin+barnar.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIOdJQu4DDzZJpsuiG8IYkmlMjUJ_rLs9n0glXDjhMdNojnsQkyjElcqtg1Ef2QxLLk5oFC6DQXLJ0fGeLQA06iqgToB-W_FlyROtUoqsU3Y_-Y1FmWuaMjU_GBaOVDTO6zUQR7uSw8ILS/s1600/k+and+a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="391" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIOdJQu4DDzZJpsuiG8IYkmlMjUJ_rLs9n0glXDjhMdNojnsQkyjElcqtg1Ef2QxLLk5oFC6DQXLJ0fGeLQA06iqgToB-W_FlyROtUoqsU3Y_-Y1FmWuaMjU_GBaOVDTO6zUQR7uSw8ILS/s400/k+and+a.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br />The wonderful Shrimpton, who you may have spotted in last month's Vogue Beauty supplement has always been a model I admired, partly because she turned her back on the industry in her early 30s and partly because how elegant she remains to be, rarely giving interviews.

And she was a revelation.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF-5pbl9vb0R8amIaMe5KK1YSDCVV9UJULhwYgCMaStEQ0XfcsJiWJuNkp-B_IOZt5dIyVmuyoCNpi_cyUpDvquqBjyuvq9LFXenmGiw7C1JwQTR8Bfv9hhof4oEx34UIvueLo45o0dU96/s1600/vogue.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="254" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF-5pbl9vb0R8amIaMe5KK1YSDCVV9UJULhwYgCMaStEQ0XfcsJiWJuNkp-B_IOZt5dIyVmuyoCNpi_cyUpDvquqBjyuvq9LFXenmGiw7C1JwQTR8Bfv9hhof4oEx34UIvueLo45o0dU96/s320/vogue.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6cEjOiQhHF6nooGFJucLhnCZoj69l3TwNt5pUjxfIlcV7XQRX38SRh9NmH7907KJMi2mgtpZDMGytp8oMKSTy8c0ezx1W16kFl7UsYs82q_6jAUSKefiSmTwXcZ4syGtVpBu9T6jxkxrD/s1600/vogue+2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="282" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6cEjOiQhHF6nooGFJucLhnCZoj69l3TwNt5pUjxfIlcV7XQRX38SRh9NmH7907KJMi2mgtpZDMGytp8oMKSTy8c0ezx1W16kFl7UsYs82q_6jAUSKefiSmTwXcZ4syGtVpBu9T6jxkxrD/s400/vogue+2.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Here is a shot from her heyday including one from New York, 1962, by David Bailey – in a 14-page editorial meant for Vogue.

(David handled his own film, Jean did her own hair and make-up, and they travelled in taxis around the city) – Its gritty style placed the city’s tough streets in counterpoint to Jean’s delicate frame, this is what I think we'll be seeing more of in the drama.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPYU8QY29lZCLe2w4cqo-qZYpUzGcpLURLFjgLTUXHZTtd3YIc4i75ebwHCux-Cb3wc9f3EmaxWc1J0qA9A75i70gMEEqtP-yYl94-GnVfEUXipiZYqJ99ERKdv6fEy35pwlHxmeKVxi92/s1600/jean-ny62-dbailey.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPYU8QY29lZCLe2w4cqo-qZYpUzGcpLURLFjgLTUXHZTtd3YIc4i75ebwHCux-Cb3wc9f3EmaxWc1J0qA9A75i70gMEEqtP-yYl94-GnVfEUXipiZYqJ99ERKdv6fEy35pwlHxmeKVxi92/s640/jean-ny62-dbailey.jpg" width="425" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXJGjVbskscPtmFUYFQiaG09pTbyulzq0nX0DUCW5oQujFeUXtZ-v1WtFpGmKaNXY0FADklIqIE8Siur5RYIKcY3K-ADYBFsmqv_6QpByCCD98Q8D4-9RXKkjUsLtX7lYi3xm9Ts7c3Ui6/s1600/Jean+Shrimpton+and+David+Bailey.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="255" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXJGjVbskscPtmFUYFQiaG09pTbyulzq0nX0DUCW5oQujFeUXtZ-v1WtFpGmKaNXY0FADklIqIE8Siur5RYIKcY3K-ADYBFsmqv_6QpByCCD98Q8D4-9RXKkjUsLtX7lYi3xm9Ts7c3Ui6/s400/Jean+Shrimpton+and+David+Bailey.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A great photo of Shrimpton and Bailey taken in 2006.</td></tr></tbody></table>P.S.

Without meaning to sound like a miserable old witch, I think weddings can be a real pain. Yes I want to see two people I care about swearing eternal love and fidelity to each other and I have no objection to drinking copious amounts of champagne at someone else's expense but what in the Fashion God's name am I meant to wear to all of them? Boys have it easy. I mean The Boy literally has two options, morning suit or normal suit. He may have to stretch his imagination to the colour of his pocket square, tie and shirt but this is nothing compared to what women have to go through. <br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiTgFUtvORRSPWOvfbutEuCpHdBZlJowfOz9hs3u9eT5dzJ318VJEo4ZzQSLetIMYeuzlxTThjpNydHxkG0A2dPaB6wK6bm7jKgNBlGAqP8WdnV1vK3q00A3dHwHY8-auZpm-iErTAdN37/s1600/blow+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiTgFUtvORRSPWOvfbutEuCpHdBZlJowfOz9hs3u9eT5dzJ318VJEo4ZzQSLetIMYeuzlxTThjpNydHxkG0A2dPaB6wK6bm7jKgNBlGAqP8WdnV1vK3q00A3dHwHY8-auZpm-iErTAdN37/s1600/blow+1.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Isabella Blow..fearless.</td></tr></tbody></table><br />Don't upstage the bride!

Can you manage holding a bag, hat and glass of Pimms and smile for the bloody photographer all at the same time? Hat or fascinator?

The reason for this is threefold. Firstly I've spent so much on the hat, other outfits are no longer a realistic option. Secondly, the hat is a statement piece therefore everything else can be minimal which suits my style. Lastly, because the hat is so WOW, I don't give a fig that I'm going to re-use it. I've spent the money and I'm going to wear the darn thing!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlDt-Q0SWN9LR_bxeroXHNo1aMomrAZI2a0kOYJazJ-jm3qnvc6cMq4snW_CM0t9lwgnpoytUacN4YhP6ZXJ21pE1i3R_aIsnup7VBLTC6R1iO70poUBebVeM1xh8cXaWsDrP8PuZeoWG5/s1600/marie_antoinette.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="222" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlDt-Q0SWN9LR_bxeroXHNo1aMomrAZI2a0kOYJazJ-jm3qnvc6cMq4snW_CM0t9lwgnpoytUacN4YhP6ZXJ21pE1i3R_aIsnup7VBLTC6R1iO70poUBebVeM1xh8cXaWsDrP8PuZeoWG5/s320/marie_antoinette.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 18px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Wearing hats is what our royals do. It’s what differentiates them from US presidents and Hollywood. When they approach their hat duties in the spirit of one who has fifty quid riding on their headgear outdoing Victoria Beckham’s or Lady Gaga’s, it’s what’s known as a Marie Hattoinette moment. It is playing with fire and can result in things like this...</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkNvT6FMAsxtyk-YwJPIgbRO2LXGchnW16NUWt2Ce5ZcUvWofYHbQg08Eg0bEYwynSEi5QWRK7NAZqBLjs4D-B23NBJmFLcY32WFTWfvZq9z1G7cjZNysi1swRlD7fPj75GlxH-S9CnCNF/s1600/princess-beatrice-hat.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkNvT6FMAsxtyk-YwJPIgbRO2LXGchnW16NUWt2Ce5ZcUvWofYHbQg08Eg0bEYwynSEi5QWRK7NAZqBLjs4D-B23NBJmFLcY32WFTWfvZq9z1G7cjZNysi1swRlD7fPj75GlxH-S9CnCNF/s1600/princess-beatrice-hat.jpg" /></a></div><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 18px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbnd-by1ByeJzMf-PNEGCMYsir0JiAKjAxJ1zOhUJk2p4KLoXA9axvQWZZZ0ovwftw8tEVUUf59EhnOHSesrgQ99YDEf9Ws9P5kpArtFctkLoYvdyji2P8e6E0jP-22gFOSOiaJIv3hoLL/s1600/hbz-daphne-guiness-istancool-festival-mdn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbnd-by1ByeJzMf-PNEGCMYsir0JiAKjAxJ1zOhUJk2p4KLoXA9axvQWZZZ0ovwftw8tEVUUf59EhnOHSesrgQ99YDEf9Ws9P5kpArtFctkLoYvdyji2P8e6E0jP-22gFOSOiaJIv3hoLL/s400/hbz-daphne-guiness-istancool-festival-mdn.jpg" width="300" /></a>Luckily, Bea, or someone advising her (clearly having a nap on the 29th), had the savvy idea of auctioning the pretzel on eBay for charity. It raised a heck of a lot of money and we all got a bit distracted from the fact that she wore the monstrosity in the first place. Future royals who are tempted to approach the hat-wearing gig as if it were a sophisticated fashion in-joke should take note however.</div><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 18px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Hats are problematic. And I love hats. When I was little I wanted to own a hat shop. I love trying hats on. However in reality I simply don't wear them. A simple beret in Autumn/ Winter and a giant straw brim on the beach is me. But there are times when you may need something more frivolous.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 18px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Self-consciousness is the greatest enemy of successful hat-wearing. What to do? The more you practise, the less silly you’ll feel and if in doubt, go for something simple with a large brim that partially covers your face You’ll have to be the judge of how far you take this. If you’re an addictive personality you may find yourself experimenting so fearlessly that you end up wearing a croissant or some man-boobs on your head and thinking it looks perfectly normal.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkFAHfG4fHbpbvJgWxjyLK_3P6w3f9cAxNt5I5byEx6PIQ4hhaslgM2sgQydPLVX7D1aj91l_o_SKoeatHPrK23FVxyOYqZJstMerpW2DML6Qzy8TyV5YVDM0XfopK_M8lIwN1p_6jGXz5/s1600/fruit+hats.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkFAHfG4fHbpbvJgWxjyLK_3P6w3f9cAxNt5I5byEx6PIQ4hhaslgM2sgQydPLVX7D1aj91l_o_SKoeatHPrK23FVxyOYqZJstMerpW2DML6Qzy8TyV5YVDM0XfopK_M8lIwN1p_6jGXz5/s400/fruit+hats.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 18px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 18px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">In the grand scheme, would that matter? Anna Dello Russo of <i>Vogue Nippon</i> fame, who has championed the melon-wedge and pineapple slice-shaped fascinator for seasons, carries off her fruit with such aplomb it never occurs to anyone to laugh until she’s receded so far into the distance, there doesn’t seem any point. It comes down to a matter of conviction: wear it and work it...or shirk it altogether</span></div><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 18px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Yes ladies it's a quandary but here are some practical guidelines:</span></div><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 18px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">1. If the hat is bigger than you are or resembles any kind of foodstuff, it’s probably a no.</span></div><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 18px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">2. On the other hand, you can hardly ever go wrong with flowers. My stunning concoction is called the Rose Cloud and was around the £100 mark. Don't be snobby about the high street, Debenhams has a great hat collection as does ASOS. Bundle MacLaren, who furnished a number of royal wedding guests with their Abbey moments, designs headpieces from £45 that belie their modest price.</span></div><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 18px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">3. Don’t be surly: if the invitation requests a hat, then I’m sorry, a hairband, sunglasses or bandanna simply will not do and not complying will make you seem graceless rather than cool. Also wispy fascinators just don't cut it.</span></div><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 18px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">4. Small is fashionable. And in this instance fashionable is also practical and flattering...plus less damage if you take it off and shove it under the table when you run off to join the bridal party conga.</span></div><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 18px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">5. Keep the rest of your outfit unimpeachably simple and chic and you’ll be able to wear an outrageous hat – and I think we all know you secretly want to.

A further trend is the combination of two different coloured metals, such as gold and white-gold in order to add an attractive finish and modern style to the ring. It has been already used in simple patterned wedding rings as a distinguishable patterned line, which gives any man's or woman's ring a stylish touch. A weaving wedding ring has also become a popular look due to its simplistic and interesting style. Weaving wedding rings often use a strong metal, such as gold, white-gold, palladium and platinum weaved in between a thin but strong strip of contrasting coloured metal.</div>crozhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05947945974766893204noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6716717337683493618.post-91618975300791816782011-07-17T05:59:00.000-07:002011-07-27T03:19:17.339-07:002011 Wedding Ring Trends<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-T4Ph0mO1guE/TiLcE8hJK7I/AAAAAAAABss/yt4syqBdA3w/s1600/elegant-Wedding-ring-2011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-T4Ph0mO1guE/TiLcE8hJK7I/AAAAAAAABss/yt4syqBdA3w/s320/elegant-Wedding-ring-2011.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Wedding rings are now more varied because of the availability of different styles and ring metals.
