Emily does Elle...

The September 2010 issue sees Emily Blunt take to the cover. In a stunning lace Valentino piece, black lace tights and smoky eyes she looks every inch the cover girl, yet she says that feminine isn't really her style. Speaking to the magazine she said she's not a frilly girl and very rarely wears dresses - shock horror! The down to earth beauty then goes on to talk about her dislike of airbrushing, she said;

"I don't like it when they stretch you out and make you look all long and skinny. It makes you look like a Barbie. Who the hell looks like that?"

AMEN!

Bubblegum goes Pop!...

We're used to seeing her in sickly sweet colours - pretty pinks, lovely lilacs, beautiful blues. But at the Teen Choice Awards last night the future Mrs. Brand went all gothic. With a knee length black leather dress, patterned fishnets, wedged boots and a waist length black wig Miss Perry's bubblegum colour run has certainly popped. Not a look that we're used to seeing on the pop princess. Even when she was kissing girls she was as pretty as a picture. This queen of darkness look is just not her.

From E! to Elle?

Khloe, Kim and Kourtney Kardashian have teamed up with Australian designer Bruno Schiavi and his clothing company Jupi Corporation to launch a line of ready-to-wear, accessories, lingerie, swimwear and shoes.

The collection will be available throughout department stores worldwide and is said to consist of 'classic Kardashian staples' - jumpsuits, one shoulder dresses and blazers. Not only designing but the Kardashian girls will be starring in the ad campaigns which will cover all mediums. Designer Schiavi estimates that the collection would rake in $20-$40 million in it's first year.

A Mile in Her Shoes...

August 14th sees the beginning of Copenhagen Fashion Week, and they are looking to break some records. The event will see the painful 5,000ft+ runway unveiled. It's shaping up to be quite a week in Copenhagen with 220 models walking the horrendously long runway in more than 500 Scandinavian brands.

I for one could not think of anything worse that trawling a mile long runway in 5inch+ heels. It could be a very long week...

Lara Stone to sue Playboy...

The new Mrs. Walliams is taking legal action against the French Playboy magazine after they published unauthorised photographs of her in the June edition. Stone claimed that Playboy is not the type of magazine she would ever consider appearing in and said that legal action is being taken to protect her reputation.

D&G play ball...

Well not really. The fashion house have signed a three year deal with Chelsea Football Club to design their formal wear and directors lounge at Stamford Bridge. The three piece suit in dark blue will be completed with a blue poplin shirt and a blue jacquard tie. The players will then also receive lovely D&G 'off duty looks' in the shape of a blue poplin shirt, jeans and calfskin pumps. And it doesn't stop there. The duo must have been feeling very generous as the coach and male and female execs will also receive suits and office accessories such as briefcases and tie pins. It must have been time for Armani to move on...

Speaking about their collaboration with the footballing world, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana said; Football players are style icons both on and off the pitch, and, on top of this there is our love of England and of London which has always been a source of inspiration for our work.

Playful for McCartney...

The ad campaigns for her Fall 09 collection were filled with Disney cartoons and her Fall 10 campaigns seem to be following suit. Her Fall 10 campaign features Natalia Vodianova stood against a plain canvas draped McCartney with doodled balloon letters, top hats and cartoon body parts on Stella McCartney's logo. Plain but playful. McCartney said that she wanted to show the key collection pieces and contrast them humor and a human touch in the treatment in sense of her logo. I like.

Port Eliot Festival...

You hear the word festival and instantly think of checked shirts, short denim shorts and florals. Completed with aviators, wellington boots and some form of satchel right? 99% of the time you would be right. But the Port Eliot Festival could not be any further away from this. The Port Eliot Festival which takes place in none other that Port Eliot in Cornwall is a literary festival, so scratch the cool bands and think Pulitzer Prize winning writers. Doesn't compare to standing knee deep in mud at 'Glasto' while watching your 'favourite' band? Let me change your mind...

This year, the likes of Anna Sui, milliner Stephen Jones and none other than Luella Bartley, will be attending the festival. Anna Sui will be there to do an event with Andrew Bolton from MOMA, Stephen Jones will be on hand along with Vogue's Sarah Mower to run a special floral hat trimming master class and believe it or not Luella Bartley will be in the Fashion Tent making one of a kind creations for festival goers! Now that's my kind of festival.

What's best is that there's a range of accommodation choices from the surrounding hotels, standard 'pitch your own tent camping', gypsy bow top caravans and tipis and yurts. A classy affair with no port-a-loo in sight!
