The Week Ahead

What Models Wear

For all the wonderful new collections on show, one of my favourite parts of Fashion week is seeing elusive models parade around a city like a flock of skinny jeans and leather jacket clad gazelles.  It's really the only time you see models out of their natural habitat of an unfurnished apartment with a fridge stocked with celery, diet coke and marlboro lights.  And thankfully, those watching at home have a brave army of streetstyle photographers willing to capture the beautiful, yet surely dangerous animals due to their long limbs, as they navigate an unknown land.

I can't decide what I like more, the first image of the three supers or Abbey's incredible outfit and bleach blonde hair.

New York Fashion Week Part Two

Alexander Wang

So much of Wang's collections are hit and miss, last season for me was an utter disaster with the majority of the peices ugly and unwearable.   His collections lack a continuity that other designers have but having said that, this season was a lot better with some gorgeous pieces.  And it's official, white is definitely in next season.  And it's a colour I will not be wearing, as I'm an utter klutz that trips over air, drops expensive glasses and spills food on my favourite clothes.  It's just safer that way.


Charlotte Ronson

Love the collection like I did last seasons', she continues her grunge trend successfully with gorgeous sheer pieces, floaty frilly fabrics and socks teamed with boots.  My favourite collection so far, it's exactly the way I (or would like to) dress.

Best of the Week

My favourite is definetely Rachel Bilson, she looks beautiful with her hair up and the print of the dress and boots look great on her. I can't decide which Alexa Chung look I like more, but I'm leaning more to the long white skirt.

I don't think it's out in America yet, but Tamara Drewe is fantastically funny, British and sweet.  Gemma Arterton is gorgeous and brilliant as always, Tamsin Greig makes you cry and Luke Evans makes you - well.  He looks good that's all I can safely-PG-rated say.

Vogue UK: Lily Donaldson

I love Lily.  I love that she's back in editorials and on the runway.  'Enuf said really.
