Name revealed

Thanks to some lovely people in New York who read my previous post, I can now tell you the below dress is by designer duo Badgley Mischka. I love their clothes and decided to dedicate a post to them very soon as an apology. Stay tuned.

As it's so grey and horrible outside, I'm bringing you another picture from Broadway's Sidewalk Catwalk to hopefully cheer you up. Unfortunately this one didn't say who it was by. What a shame, it's a stunning dress!

Mad about red hair

You heard it here first! Red hair is the colour to sport right now! Ever since I was working backstage at the Mulberry fashion show, where all the models strutted the catwalk with auburn wigs, I knew that colour is going to be big with the fashion pack. And it's certainly proving that way. As if you need further proof just look at November cover of American Harper's Bazaar and how hot does Christina Hendricks look! Not keen on the red background though, which doesn't allow the full effect of the hair and the dress colour to shine through. Otherwise if you feeling like you wanna change your hair, red is the way to go.

Spring at H&M

Recently I've been flicking through H&M magazine and come across a spring 2011 photoshoot. It's all vintage looking and I quite like it. Especially this picture. Loving the big hair, make-up and of course the necklace. It's a great statement piece and for £14.99 and easy way how to update your spring wardrobe.

Cover girl - Emma Watson

If you read Daily mail regularly on Saturday, or you just picked up a copy randomly today like me, you may have seen the lovely Emma Watson on the cover of their mag Weekend. Judging by this picture I think it's safe to say that she can put her Harry Potter days behind her. Turning from Hermione to a sexy kitten, I expect her career to be blossoming. Whether acting or modelling for Burberry I bet this is not the last we heard from her. I wish her all the best.

Product I can't live without

I guess we all have favourite creams, lotions and potions, product we swear by and can not live without. One of those for me is Nail and hand cream by Clarins. I'm obsessed with washing my hands and do it like millions time a day. Therefore they get very dry. Plus winter, air conditioning, ageing and so on definitely don't help. That's why I rely on this cream. It's £17 but worth every penny. You should invest in your hands as people notice them and if you're wearing a nice statement ring they need to be in a good condition. Thanks to this miracle worker not only are my hands nice and soft, over the time I've been using it, my nails have become stronger as well! Result!

Deal of the moment

Let's face it. This time of the year can get quite expensive. With all the parties to attend to, new outfits for each one of them, Christmas presents and so on, getting a bargains sounds more than tempting. The clever people at ASOS.com realized this and got us a treat. Discount of 20% until end of November on all ASOS own brands plus free worldwide delivery. Just enter ASOS20 at the checkout. That must be the best deal around at the moment. I've picked few bits that I'm gonna make sure I don't miss out on to inspire you. So go on grab yourself a bargain. They've got good Christmas ideas too. Let me know what you bought.

Shearling is massive at the moment and it's guaranteed to keep you warm in the following freezing months!

Faux fur has been all over catwalks. This is a lovely coat that will keep you nice and warm.

This bag is very Alexander McQueen. Looks decadent and look perfect at any Christmas party. Just add LBD.

Lovely dress with great detailing. Simple. Love it!

By now you probably know I'm a pinkaholic. Lovely colour and draping detail. Nice alternative to LBD. Wear this and no man will be able to resist you.

Perfect as a Christmas present or a treat for yourself. Timless shape good size for all your everyday essentials.

Valentino for Gap

This week is very exciting for high street shoppers. Today saw the mayhem caused by the hottest collaboration of the year - Lanvin for H&M. People were queueing since early morning to get their hands on a Lanvin piece with reasonable price tag. And if you have seen the collection you understand why. It's hot! If you didn't get to buy anything do not worry. Another very interesting collab hits the shops this saturday and it's Valentino for Gap. Sounds like a very unlikely pairing but it turned out quite well. Judging by the pictures I predict a very busy day for London's Gap's flagship store.

LowLuv by Erin Wasson

It is a known thing, that after a while, models like to branch out and do other things rather than just modelling. And quite often, it works out really well for them. One good example is Erin Wasson. This clever woman decided to design jewellery in collaboration with jeweller Pascal Mouawad. Southeastern desert and ethnical inspired, the collection include rings, earrings and necklaces. I especially love the shark tooth dropped earrings. They give a great edge to any outfit. Love! Available at my-wardrobe.com

Dress for princess

I'm very excited as today I'm bringing you an exclusive interview with Johanna Hehir, a wedding designer, whom I met when I was working at White Gallery for press Wedding show. She is the nicest person, obviously very talented and so down to earth. I absolutely adore her designs. You can read the post about her again here .
As the whole world is talking about the engagement of Prince William and Kate Middleton, I asked Johanna few questions about the dress she'd like to see Kate wearing and she kindly included a sketch as well.

Hi Johanna, thank you for sparing some time to answer my questions. First of all tell me what you've been up to?


Since I did the White Gallery Show in May, I've had several projects on the go! Firstly, I designed a new 1950's inspired collection that was photographed in July. Just last month I was in New York visiting my new stockist, Kleinfelds - they have a world famous store and a TV show in the US called Say Yes To The Dress. And right now, I'm beginning to design my collection for next year alongside planning the redesign of my London Boutique, which is very exciting!

• That indeed sounds very exciting. Good luck with it all! Now all everyone has been talking about since the announcement, is the royal engagement. As a wedding dress designer what do you think should be Kate wearing?

Although Kate would look amazing in almost anything, I do find that she seems to suit a v-neck best and this is the neckline I think she will go for. I picture her in a soft fish-tail style (something that will compliment her figure) with plenty of beads, pearls and lace applique hand sewn all over the bodice and train.

• Do you think there are any styles she should avoid?

Kate has a great sense of style, therefore I think she will know the type of dresses to avoid. Given the fact that she will be becoming a princess she will need to wear something tasteful and probably not too revealing.

• If you were the chosen designer for Kate's wedding gown, what sort of dress would you go for?

Obviously, I would have to be guided by the kind of dress Kate wanted, take into account the venue and the style of wedding, but here is a design I've come up with that I could see her wearing. (sketch attached)

• Last but not least what is next for Johanna Hehir?

I'm concentrating on my new collection at the moment, but next year I'll be back at White Gallery and I'm also planning to show at Pier 94 in New York! Plus we'll be doing a brand new photoshoot at the begging of next year... lots to look forward to!!

Thanks again for taking the time to answer my questions. I wish you all the best and hopefully see you soon for another exclusive interview.

Olivia Palermo

As you may know I admire Olivia Palermo's style and realized I haven't posted anything about her for a while. The New York's socialite is fashion's darling and is frequently spotted in amazing creations all over the world. She caused quite a stir at London Fashion Week, happily posing for photographer and everyone was going on about how nice she is.  So here's my round up of outfits I'm loving her in. Note the frequent same pair of shoes. I can reveal, they are by british designer Charlotte Olympia. If you haven't heard about her yet, which I doubt, you can definitelly expect to hear about her a lot in the future. She is definitely on the rise.

Time for another picture from a very unusual fashion show. Love how Diane painted the mannequin rather than creating an actual outfit. Seems timeless just like her clothes.

Sophie Theallet

Her dress worn by Anais Mali, was one of my favourite outfits of monday's CFDA's awards (see all my favourites again here) , so I decided to dedicate her a post. I love her minimalist designs, her clothes are simple yet chic.
The french born designer started her own label in the spring in 2006 in New York, after ten years working for Azzedine Alaia. Her signature bohemian luxe is coveted by many fashionistas. She gets sold in the best speciality stores all over the world including Browns (London), Colette (Paris) and Barneys (NYC).
Here are some outfits I'm loving for A/W10 and S/S11.
