Guests at the Burberry S/S10 show

I thought I'd take a break from the fashion week coverage and take a look at what was being worn off the runway. I love Emma Watson's dress, its a really good fit and cut for her. I've also got some more Wintour magic for you!


I like Alexa's outfit here at Burberry a lot more than I liked her outfit at Luella. Maybe that's just because Luella's show was during the day and Alexa didn't make as much effort as she has for Burberry's night show, maybe she wanted to impress Anna Wintour after they sat next to each at Twenty8twelve last night. Anyway here she is dressed in head to toe Burberry, as you do. I really like how simple yet great this outfit looks.


From an ex T4 presenter to a current one, here is Jameela Jamil doing her tilted head stare for the photographers (am I the only one who notices that she always does this?). Jamil's outfit is a lot darker and seems more covered up than Alexa's but I like the touch of yellow on her shoes.


Anna Wintour is treating us to more of her fabulous sightings, she always looks so poised and put together when she's in front of the camera, I wander what she's like in her down time... if she has any. The metallic dress looks really great here and complements her tanned complexion.


Just as I started to like Agyness Deyn's hair now that she'd grown it out of that odd baby bob she had earlier in the year, she goes and completely changes her it, but I guess that's how Agyness works her style. I like how she's paired the bright blue dress with her brogues (I really want some) here she actually reminds me of that guy from the Misshapes with her hair covering her face. (I really like Leigh Lezark's lipstick in that picture). Victoria Beckham looks really really tanned here but her dress is still signature VB style. What does everybody think of her collection? personally I like it a lot and there are many things in there I could see myself wearing.
I feel like up until recently I haven't seen much of Mary Kate Olsen, and seen even less of Ashley, but after some searching (yeah I google the Olsens) I found some great pictures that will be up on the blog tomorrow. Also I'm pretty sure Alexa and Mary Kate are wearing the same Burberry suede ankle wedge boots.

This is arguably the best outfit of the night. I love the sequins, different versions of this dress was shown throughout the show, so I'm pretty sure somebody on the Burberry team if not Christopher Bailey suggested this dress. After all she is the face of the Burberry Prorsum a/w ad campaign, its one of the perks. I'm sure Emma happily went along with the decision, I know I would with a dress like that. Great choice to both of them.


Agyness Deyn and Twiggy
Emma was seen joking with Gwyneth during the show. Gwyneth was sitting next to Mario Testino and Emma was next to Liv Tyler. Sounds like a pretty good turn out.

Front row at Luella Spring 2010

Anna Wintour looking amazing in a python skin coat front row at Luella's spring show. Anna was also spotted sitting next to Alexa Chung at the Twenty8Twelve show, hands up who thinks Alexa will be the next American Vogue cover girl. Guess the rumours were true about Anna appearing at the front row at London fashion week, I wonder where else will turn up.

I couldn't do a fashion week front row post without putting Peaches Geldof in, she's everywhere at fashion week. However, I refuse to feature her sister Pixie Geldof on this blog until she sorts her hair out. Here Peaches Geldof wears a Luella dress that I'm sure I saw on Zooey Deschanel at some music awards show, possibly the Grammy's.

Alexa normally looks better than this at the front row so I'm a little disappointed and nearly didn't put her in the post, but she looks cute so I'll look past this slight down grade in style. Plus I love the Chanel bag.


Is X factor winner Alexandra Burke after some publicity by showing her face at London Fashion Week? If she is she'll have to try harder because, although I love the Luella Tweed jacket, I'm sure her or her stylist could find a better way of presenting than the way she's dressed now.

Why I like Alexa Chung


I don't really know why I like Alexa Chung. I don't know her as a person. I've never even met her before. However, she appears to be nice and friendly and a good time girl. However, regardless of her character I know one thing for sure that I like about her. Her style. Alexa has great style, she knows how to dress her body ("I believe in dressing to suit your shape. I don't have cleavage, so I flash my long legs") and her personality, which many people find difficult. Alexa and I have way way waay different body types. She's a lot skinner than me, with longer legs, whereas my height comes from the torso. What I like about Alexa's style is that she has a ladylike dress sense with an edge, which is very much my style: something elegant, timeless, a little bit traditional and dressed up, mixed with something "edgy" (for want of a better word) to toughen the look up a bit. Not too assume however that this is Alexa's thought process when getting dressed in the morning, she may very well pick up the cleanest thing she can find and run out of the door (not my style). But whatever Alexa does to look so fabulous when leaving the house, I hope she doesn't stop because she has truly amazing personal style, and even on the rare occasion that she's wearing something I don't like (I'm not sure if this has ever happened) it still looks really good on her even though I may not be brave enough to try it.
