The V&A's Hollywood Costume Exhibition
I don’t want to wish the year away, but I can’t wait for October to arrive and the V&A’s new Hollywood Costume exhibition.You don’t often get the chance to stand toe-to-toe with a dress worn by Marilyn or (one of my childhood idols) Indiana Jones! This is what the V&A had to say about the exhibition:

These gorgeously kitch nail wraps were created by Nail Rock for Meadham Kirchhoff’s Spring Summer 2012 catwalk show. I love the idea of nail wraps, as you can wear them even on short nails. They last for about a week on fingernails and up to 6 weeks on toenails! Source: We Heart Style

Clémence Poésy for G-Star Raw
If I could look like anyone in the world for a day, it would be Clémence Poésy. Since she first came to everyone’s attention in Harry Potter, like Emma Watson, has become a true style icon. She’s also been announced as the new face of G-Star-Raw. This campaign was shot in Lisbon by photographer Anton Corbijn. Source: We Heart Style

Topshop's Cool Spring Lookbook
Photos have sneaked out of Topshop’s new spring / summer 2012 collections. They’re not in shops for a month or two, but I love the mix of vintage styling and a cool modern colour pallette. If I’m not mistaken there’s a real touch of Amy Winehouse to this collection – winged eyeliner and messy beehives mixed with retro and attitude. I can’t wait for this collection to...

Nailed: Iconic or Icky…?
I’m not sure whether I’m intrigued or grossed-out out by this book. There’s something about incredibly long nails which are fascinating and yet a bit icky. This book, edited by Chicago-based artist Dzine, showcases couture nail embellishment around the world. If you haven’t heard of Dzine, this is how he’s described in the press. The child of first generation Puerto...

Christian Louboutin has become the first guest creator at iconic Parisian cabaret club Le Crazy Horse. “Crazy Horse is an iconic Paris monument, a monument to dance, a fantastic, modern idea of the celebration of women for women,” Louboutin said. Louboutin has created four tableaux in a show called...

Pink & Pretty at Louis Vuitton
Louis Vuitton couldn’t have moved further away from their traditional brown and gold with this pretty, pastel pink ad campaign. This is what artistic director Marc Jacobs had to say about it:
The spirit of our spring/summer 2012 collection is reflected beautifully in this new ad campaign…All the tone and texture of the collection – the lightness, the prettiness, the broderie anglaise, the...

Natalie Portman at the Golden Globes 2012
Well, there were some great outfits at the Golden Globes last night, but in my humble opinion the best dressed award goes to Natalie Portman. Closely followed by Kate Winslet and maybe Lea Michele if you’re feeling a little more adventurous. Which was your favourite?

Children & The Absurdity of Being Beautiful
Or waxing, dieting and the uncomfortable questions that children ask… I was standing in the bathroom this morning plucking my eyebrows when my 5-year-old son walked in. “Whatcha doin’ mummy?” he asked as he stood there doing his wee. “Plucking my eyebrows…” “Whats that?” “Er… pulling out hairs in my eyebrows so that they aren’t too big and bushy” “Are my eyebrows too big?” “No darling, yours...

Today I'm Coveting: Adidas Bow High Top Trainers
If Minnie Mouse wore trainers she would be ordering a pair of these Addidas Top Ten Hi Sleek Night Bow Trainers right now. I definitely want a pair! They’re available in lots of stores, just search for ‘Addidas Bow High Tops‘, but they seem to be out of stock everywhere I’ve looked except Schuh. Source: We Heart Style
Beauty Review: Garnier's Miracle Skin Perfector
Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector: Light Price £9.99 Garnier are their own worst enemy with this product, or rather their marketing department is! If you call something a Miracle Skin Perfector you really are skyrocketing people’s expectations and you don’t stand a chance of living up to the hype! After seeing the ad campaigns I was pretty excited about the idea of having miraculously perfect skin,...

The perfect combination of stylish suede boots and the practicality of wellies – with a fur lining – what more could a girl ask for in this new wintery weather? Well, perhaps the £144 needed to buy them…? You can buy them from Schuh and probably lots of other places, but that is where I first spotted them. Source: We Heart Style

Today I'm Coveting: Wish Bracelets
January isn’t even half way through and my new year’s resolutions are starting to be forgotten already. Luckily I’ve stumbled upon the perfect resolution-aid: wish bracelets. If you haven’t heard of wish bracelets before, the idea behind them is this: you make a wish as you tie on your wish bracelet and when it wears off your wish should have come true. Now, I’m not sure how much I believe in the...
