Splash

I have just been sent a sneak preview of an image from the Alexander Wang Fall 11 campaign, featuring Raquel Zimmerman, shot by Fabien Baron in an abandoned Brooklyn grain factory from the 20s.  Tonight around 9PM a series of projections around NYC will launch the Fall 11 video at a variety of locations, including Houston and McDougal, 14th and University, 14th Street and 8th Avenue for three consecutive nights (13/7 – 15/7). If, like me, you're not in Big Apple, the full video will launch on www.alexanderwang.com tomorrow morning.

Hey, Mon

Céline Dreams

I can't get the Céline Resort 2012 collection out of my head. As much as I try to resist, oversized pilgrim belts, floral leather, white suiting pieces and jacquard florals refuse to be shifted from my daydreams. Ms. Philo has created yet another collection that is not only perfectly tailored and timeless, but also incorporates many of the season's top trends. I fear that my imagination won't rest until a) I am miraculously able to afford such pieces or b) I miraculously find near to exact replicas in a charity chop. Humpf.

Lazy Days

Dresses, left to right: Cos & Acne

I have been a very bad blogger of late - but I do have my excuses. The last couple of weeks have been consumed by the flat move from hell; falls, bumps, split binbags, sprained ankles, a trip to A&E and nowhere new to move into have all proved rather stressful. But instead of dwelling on that, I would like to dedicate this post to my lost bedroom, captured here on a perfect Sunday filled with fresh washing and magazines. So long, Brick Lane!

Glastonbury




Free passes, Morrissey, Jesie J, Pulp, Beyonce, hidden Irish bar, cider, frozen yoghurt, mud-stained clothes, sun burn, blisters, bruises, straw-like hair, lost belongings & an empty purse: all signs of another brilliant Glastonbury. If you're heading to a festival this summer, check out my guide to keeping festival pretty over at Bitchbuzz.com.

Row After Row

I'm not usually a fan of resort collections, but Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's take on Venetian seaside dressing has got me hooked. Sticking to their trademark understated minimalism, the twins mixed things up by adding a 1940s twist in the form of boater hats, stripes and dainty brogues. From the striped mink cardigan coat to the endless amounts of crisp white cotton, these girls got Resort 2012 spot on.
