French Vogue Shake Up...

Caroline Roitfeld's sudden departure from French Vogue as editor in chief left the fashion world in shock.  Countless blogposts were pondering over who would be up to the task of replacing her, and we were kept in the dark - until now.  As sudden as Caroline Roitfeld's departure, Emmanuelle Alt has been named as her replacement and will take over the role from 1st February...

The blogs are buzzing with the sound of Palermo...

Our favourite city girl, Olivia Palermo, has announced in Spanish Vogue that she is to launch her own clothing line, after successfully stamping her mark in the style stakes this past year.  Not only that, she will be using her highly anticipated reality tv show to launch it. Talk about hitting two birds with one stone. I wonder what Lauren Conrad will have to say about this, seeing as her show will be doing the exact same! The Hills vs. The City, let battle commence...

A Busy Week for Fashion...

Indeed it has been. Caroline Roitfeld hung up her designer boots at French Vogue, Karl Lagerfield flew to Berlin to star in the new Volkswagen advert, the new pretty Ugly Betty hit London,  Leighton Meester landed herself a major part of Missoni's Spring 11 campaign, Kelly Brook was spotted looking like she'd had an awful dose of botox and pre-fall collections were spilling out all over the place (see earlier post re pre fall collections).

A busy pre-Christmas jostle for the fashion world it seems.  Speaking of pre-Christmas jostle, what a day it has been. Snow started falling here around 6pm last night and it seemed it snowed all through the night. We woke up to devilishly pointed icicles hanging from the roof, a blanketed road and some serious chic yet weather savvy dressing required for frolicking in the snow.

After snow fun I spent hours upon end watching this video again (below) so I'm going to post it again. True Christmas. True New York (where I was a year ago today...how time flies!) and true romance captured within the space of 1 minute, 28 seconds...

Oh also, before you go. My boyfriend celebrated his 100th blog post here with a little questionnaire - part of his final year university project.  So if you could be a dear and complete it for him, that would make my life a little easier.  Do be a dear and fill this in...

Merry Christmas! 

A week without...

A week without my Gossip Girl fix is just too hard. So while I was watching good old Series One (Victor Victrola, series 1 episode 7) I came across the pictures of Blake Lively at The Scream TV Awards which were held in Los Angeles over the weekend. I don't think she could have looked any better. From her swooping floor length Lanvin gown ,which hit every AW10 trend - chunky embellishment, tan detailing and a daring thigh high split, to her burnt orange eye shadow and understated hair.  She looked absolutely perfect and shown the world exactly why Anna Wintour chose her to cover Vogue twice in one year. Oh Blake, we love you...
