Idol Time...

If you weren't already aware, Kelly Cutrone is my absolute idol. I adore her.  From her upfront, no bullsh*t approach to the way she works to the fact that she successfully manages her working life and private life all in one building.  She's a mother and public relations machine that knows what she wants and how to get it.  I think she's a fantastic role model for girls out there who know what they want but are a little too scared to go out and get it.  I remember her once saying;

"Average people love to be average because nobody bothers them.  Do you want to be average?"

I think it is a fantastic motto to live by. I came across this competition that is run by Talent House and I need 80 votes to be entered into the top 20 to go and work with Kelly at MBFW...so please vote for me!

HauteNYC...

Article number two to be featured on HAUTE NYC, inkeeping with the 'best of British' theme, my second article is about one of my favourite brands, Mulberry.  Read about why Mulberry has got what it takes to catch on stateside.  Everyone needs a little bit of British on their arm afterall...

 

The favourite...

She's my boyfriend's ideal woman and often gets referred to as a 'worldy' (aka, of world class quality).  She's curvaceous, blonde and oozes old school Hollywood glamour.  Who am I talking about? Scarlett Johansson of course. She spent a while looking sultry and sexy as the face of D&G's 'The One' fragrance and now has found herself as the face of Moet & Chandon again, trademark red lipstick included. I'm sure said advertising campaign will make pleasant viewing for the world's male population...

OTT...

Willow 'whip my hair back and forth' Smith is the latest child star to be featured in Vanity Fair. Yes she may have caused a bit of a stir with her catchy number one hit but come on, she's ten years old.  She may have bags full of attitude and what not, but she is no [style] icon.  First it was Bieber, now Willow Smith - I find it utterly bizzare that any 20+ year old girl/woman would want to read about either of these children.

UES Dazzle...

Gossip Girl seems to be all every fashionista can think about, especially now that every fashion house is also dying for a little bit of the oh so glam Upper East Siders. First it was Blake and Chanel, their love affair created quite a stir in the fashion world, then it was Leighton and Herbal Essenses, although nothing really came of that.  Then Leighton became the face of Vera Wang's new fragrance and was spotted Vera Wang clad, leaning over a Manhattan balcony looking every inch the Upper East Side Princess. As if that wasn't enough, now it's Leighton and Missoni.  Leighton Meester is my absolute favourite, brunettes are so much better than blondes (I could never be blonde to I have to say this). She's classy, pure with that English rose look about her - and looks absolutely fabulous in the new Missoni ad campaign...

HauteNYC...

New York meets England for the wedding on the year in my article on HAUTE NYC...

Crystal Renn...

Does Jimmy Choo! The 24 year old 'plus size' model is finally making news because of an ad campaign rather than her weight.  Although looking a lot more svelte, Renn certainly looks hot in the new Jimmy Choo ad camapign. The ads are great, the colours are vibrant and Renn is laden with Jimmy Choo accessories.  How could the ad be better?

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...
