And the winner is...



My flatmate Jade and myself are in some sort of competition winning war, which is never a bad thing but I believe that she may have outdone me with this one. She managed not only to bag us tickets to front row LFW but also she won £250 worth of mywardrobe.com vouchers! Jammy sod!
So her rewards came to her in a ribboned box and in the form of a Barbour jacket, very Farmer Giles! A beautiful pair of Ray-Ban Clubmasters and the cherry on top (mainly because I am the same shoe size as her, YES!) are the Vivienne Westwood Black Lady Dragon Wax Seal Slingbacks. And yes we did let out a little girly scream when we saw these!!! Not only are they gorgeous but they also smell of Trolls (not the warty creepy ones which live under bridges but the children's toys). If you get a chance pop into Vivienne Westwood and have a cheeky sniff.

Paris Fashion Week Highlights






It seems that the designers pulled out all the stops at this years Paris Fashion week with exceptional shows from Chanel, featuring a barn yard theme - with Karl's girl pal Lily Allen popping out of the floor of the makeshift yard to perform (also noted that Prince was in the audience!!). Although get ready for the usual backlash from the devote Chanel followers who will accuse Karl Lagerfield of ruining Coco's memory. I think that Chanel needs to step into this realm and inspire future generations of fashionistas to inspire to wear Chanel one day, so good on you Karl for taking it to the next level!
Alexander McQueen know how to keep us talking with his towering 12 inch heeled boots which were covered in metal studs for his Charles Darwin inspired catwalk. Obviously these shoes are not for your average walk in the park but that is what catwalks are all about!
A pirate inspired theme was adopted by designer Jean Charles de Castelbajac where models wore dresses with parrots attached to them and necklaces of bones.
And my favourite Vivienne Westwood was her usual crazy self and showed off her models wearing dramatic and scary painted faces while wearing her new Spring Summer 2010 collection of tailored shorts, corseted low cut dresses and paint splash inspired prints.

Pammy for VW or Madge for LV



Vivienne Westwood is an absolute genius and her advertising team should be very happy with the collaboration with Pamela Anderson - this should not work but it really does! The advertising features Viv, Pammy and her husband Andreas Kronthaler, its all a bit trashy but looks fab! Pitty the Madonna and Louis Vuitton ads didn't work! She ends up looking like a bit of an old mess, and the airbrushing is so over the top that you end up not even looking at the products! Shame on you LV advertising team, maybe you should look to Viv for your inspiration.
