RIP MJ

I cannot believe that Michael Jackson died yesterday I'm in huge shock especially because myself and my entire family are huge fans. My mum and I along with some of her friends were in the process of buying tickets on wednesday and one of my uncles already bought some, so I know he'll be devasted.

I feel especially sorry for his 3 kids and I hope that the mother of the first 2 kids does not come forward and they can stay with MJ's family.

p.s. I will be posting later.

Trans genderal dressing at YSl

Comedian David Walliams of Little Britain fame was a guest on GMTV today and his new children’s book “The Boy in the Dress” sparked a few thoughts about men and women in each others clothing and how this has now become slightly more acceptable then in previous years.
Yesterdays Yves Saint Laurent Men's show picked up on this point and Stefano Pilati sent models down the runway in clothing typically seen as feminine, such as jumpsuits, vest tops and belted waists.

However, sharp, well tailored suits were featured on the catwalk, but a tailored blazer would be styled with a sometimes sheer vest top. Trousers remained well tailored but at one point were ‘ballooned’ shaped at the thigh.
Coats were also experimented with in boxy shapes and pleated edges, as well as the classic Trench Coat in a navy palette.

A few seasons ago the Turban trend emerged in women’s wear leaving any apprehensive. This trend was also featured in the YSL show and I am excited to see how many men will experiment with this trend alongside the jumpsuit and ‘Jesus Sandals’!

My personal favourite is the pleated jacket just because I love the design of the jacket. The pleats seem delicate and feminine and thats juxtaposed alongside the masculine structure of the jacket, which is executed perfectly.

I personally think that whether your male or female you should defintely check out this collection because Pilati's work is amazing no matter what your gender is.

Whitney Port

Whilst re-watching an episode of The City the other day, I noticed that Whitney has impeccable jewellery. Although I couldn't find pictures of my favourite pieces, this picture of Whitney pretty much sums up her style of accessories.

Here are a couple of pieces that I feel remind me of Whitney's style and are all available from Asos.com.

I think I love Whitney's style in general much more when she's in New York than her LA style, but thats mostly beacsue I'm not a huge fan of LA style. The second series of the City is currently in filming which im unashamedly waiting for, I find weirdly refreshing from the Hills, even though its bascially the same thing, and I actually don't care if its all made!

If I had to chose a favourite from the pieces above it would probable be the Elephant ring and the silver tinkerbell drop earrings.

Also I discovered today that Whitney, alongside Lauren and Heidi, has her own clothing line called Whitney Eve clothing. Whilst the collection is mind blowing and going to change your life, some of the clothes are cute and typical Whitney style e.g. very californian. You can check out Whitney's collection here.

The Victoria and Albert Museum

On Sunday I paid a visit to the Victoria and Albert museum to take a look at the Hat Show by Stephen Jones. It turned out to be even better than I thought it would. There were some amazing pieces that were made on comission for some incredible designers like Vivienne Westwood, Jean Paul Gaultier and John Galliano (a personal favourite). There were also pieces worn by the Queen and inspired by different cultures.

The exhibition has four main themes: Inspiration, Creation, The Salon and The Clients. Each have their own detailed sections and gives you a full apreciation of the making process. The exhibition follows in the footsteps of the first V&A fashion show in 1971, Fashion: An Anthology by Cecil Beaton.

As it was an exhibiton I was unable to take any pictures, but for any interested readers, click here to view more information. Tickets for Adults are £5 and £4 for Seniors and Students, there is also a discount for groups. Entrance into the Victoria and Albert museum is free, you only have to pay for the exhibition. Anybody visiting London make sure you check this out.

For those who can't splash out on the tickets, or whilst your there, go and see the Fashion Collection it is a MUST see. It includes some amazing pieces from the 18th Century up to the 21st Century and features the most talented designers such as Calvin Klein and Valentino. You'll also find the iconic Watteau dress by Vivienne Westwood modelled by Linda Evangelista.

Harper's Bazaar - Rebel Chic

The November issue of Harper's Bazaar is out and it's pretty inspirational. It's the "Icon Issue" with Stephanie Seymour on the cover, it goes through the most iconic dresses in fashion such as Twiggy's sixties mini shifts and Audrey Hepburn's LBD in Breakfast at Tiffany's to Tom Fords Sexy ass white dresses for Gucci.

But the part I loved the most was the Rebel Chic photo shoot styled by Alison Edmond. It features loads of sequined tops, sheepskin sleeveless coats and Zipper skirts. Some pieces are from Balmain and are not the typical outfits you saw on the runway.

I just think this is amazing styling by Edmond and great photography by Alexei Hay.

These are my favourites from the fashion shoot and I'm working on finding the actual images on the website (I used my camera to take the ones below).

Im loving the YSL Trib two shoes in 3rd picture. Serious shoe envy.

Richard Nicoll!

The first I heard of Richard Nicoll was in UK Elle magazines run down of all the designers in the A/W fashion week. I was blown away by his simple, smart and well made pieces that are my current craves. Another attraction to his line is that while everyone else is going plaid/lace mad I can turn to his cute and original collection when I'm getting sick of all the overkilled trends, though I do love plaid and lace. A lot.

These are just some of my favourites but you can have a real browse of a great collection here or here.

This dress is another one of my favourites it was in Nicolls A/W 2007 collection. It's unlike any other lace dress thats been made this season.
