Fashion Trio

1. Now that I have an iPhone it is easier than ever to give into the social networking phenomenon that is Twitter and it's app and today whilst I was flicking through latest tweets, I discovered the ultra girlie, sixties inspired new line by Victoria Beckham, aptly named Victoria by Victoria Beckham. Read the full story from The Telegraph.

2. Also on Twitter, I learned of the latest Miu Miu handbag range for A/W '11, as posted by F.Tape named The Matelasse- chunky chain handles, large silver buckles and beautiful ruched leather, available in a variety of colours. The cream patent leather is my personal favourite. I'm wondering whether it will gain "It-bag" status next season...

3. Gwyneth Paltrow (an absolute favourite of mine as you may well know) poses topless in Vanity Fair's August issue for their annual On Jewellery calendar. Famed and personally liked due to it's detailed and interesting interviews, I will certainly buying this one even if just for the beautiful pictures of the Hollywood stunner.

Paris November 2008

Coming to the end of my degree, I have been thinking a lot about the past three years- the opportunities I've had, the people I've met, the things I have seen and done and the places I have been lucky enough to visit. One in particular is Paris, one of my favourite cities. Initially as part of a university trip, myself and three others got a really great deal and so decided to go a day earlier to stay a night for my ex-housemate's 19th Birthday. Whilst we were there we saw La Grande Roue, The Eiffel Tower and The Arc d'Triomphe, drove along the Champs-Élysées (all lit up with blue and gold lights in time for Christmas), sadly drove through the tunnel where Princess Diana died, visited the Louvre, as well as past it's hotel at night, went clubbing in Queen, admired the window display of Louis Vuitton (laden with gold, tiny spotlights and huge LV logos), walked past Fouquet (which you can see in the background during a scene of film Taken) and sipped drinks whilst listening to the mellow sounds of an amazing band at Johnny Depp's exclusive and very private club, Le Baron. But best of all, we visited the Yves Saint Laurent couture house, of which thousands of pieces are kept (stored in huge white pull out cupboards and drawers, each garment is never touched by bare hands - white gloves are worn by handlers) and were free to roam the Patrick Delmarchier exhibition at the Grand Palais, admiring his skill as one of the most respected and well-known photographers in the world. So much was packed into just two days but meant for a great time. Here I share with you just some of what we saw throughout our short but very fulfilling Parisien adventure.
