David Lachapelle

When looking at a collection of some of his photographs I thought they really were beautiful in their own way....I wonder what his inspirations are? And the meaning behind his images?









I love the fact that on the last one there's a used can of bug spray on the floor beside the 5ft spider. He certainly has a sense of humour! Thoughts? ♥

Love Her Style

Hilary has some beautiful photos done for her US Elle interview. Here are two of my favourites when looking through the collection:

I think she looks really beautiful in both these shots to be honest and when looking through the rest of her photo archive on elle.com I noticed all the rest of her looks are actually ver stylish and sophisticated so I thought I'd mention them!

I WAS intending to write about the SS06 collection because that is just amazing and because of exams I only just got round to it but all the SS06 shows seem to have been removed! *sigh* So I shall be doing the AW06 instead which is just as equally fabulous! The whole collection seems to have some kind of on-going theme of Parisian chic which I LOVE and makes for a fab wintery look. The first outfit that caught my eye when browsing is this beige and black printed dress that I have actually fallen in love with to be honest!


There was a whole collection within the collection of racy black lingerie-type inspired dresses that aren't very practical for the winter weather but certainly do make a day at home with the heating on fun! Just make sure your underwear is also black....


Next, I spotted this cinched-in-at-the-waist light brown number...again with the Parisian thing, the colour palette is (as you would naturally assume) subdued and dark but very very glamourous in its own way. There are also subtle hints towards flowers too, and I'm loving the shoes in this pic!


Now, I would post more pics but Blogger's being stupid and isn't working (this happened last time) so I'll have to leave it for now. Grrr.....♥

Net-a-porter wishlist *sigh*

What an amazing invention it is...there are a million-and-one things that I wouldn't hesitate in whipping out a credit card....if only it weren't for the damned prices!! But when flicking through the "new" section out of interest I found so many beautiful garments that just had to have a post of their own! First up (and also in my dreams) is the large leather Chloé tote bag in black (you should know I have a slight Chloé fetish)....

What a fabulous thing this is - I could only imagine the pleasure and sheer joy of owning one!! One day, definitely....

Next is the Anna Sui strapless gown which is pure designing genius in my opinion - if would definitely wear this (and I'm not a dress-y girl!) Simply beautiful:


Next is the Burberry Prorsum tassel detail scarf....

I have no idea why I like this so much...I guess it's just so cute and simple! And who cares if it's 25ºC outside?! Okay, the Burberry Windsor trench is next....again with the weather thing but still! It's so very stylish that it deserves a mention! Besides, it'll probabaly be raining in September - I'm just being prepared haha.


Simple, elegant, stylish....and they also describe the next item which is the Chloé large Paddington tote....(told you bout the Chloé thing):

One word: FABULOUS. 'Nuff said. Oh, I'm sorry my writing has been slightly less than par today....but you know how it is sometimes. ♥

Sheer Talent...

...is what it took to create the masterpiece that is the July UK Vogue cover. Gemma Ward basks in Aussie sun in a barely-there underwear set surrounded by the lush greenery of Western Australia. Perched on a wooden, rope-handled swing, her look is one of depth and meaning but with her wavy blonde hair flowing in the breeze and skin lightly dappled by sun, she epitomises the happy-go-lucky stereotypical beach babes that govern the Aussie coasts. I'm booking the next flight out...who's with me? ♥

Legend

Carmen dell'Orefice celebrated her 75th birthday 6 days ago now...happy birthday to a legend! The world's oldest and record-breaking supermodel is still signed to an agency and looks absolutely fabulous! (With the help of some self-confessed botox appointments every month, of course.)
She also gave an interview with UK Elle for the June issue alongside Lydia Shaw Hearst (who is more than half a century younger) which made one hell of an interview on all topics such as the changing fashion world, the qualities necessary in models of both their times and their general life outside of the fashion world. ♥
