If only I were rich...

Apart from the transparent macs at Burberry (ones that snow fell for, let alone everyone else), whilst excitedly and furiously flicking through the September issue of British VOGUE and ELLE Collections for the latest on the Autumn/Winter trends, I myself have spied my favourites...

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.

Fashion Flashback

1993: Kate Moss

 1st UK VOGUE cover 

 

The year 1993 and one of the most iconic VOGUE magazines, covered by Kate Moss goes on sale in March. Shot by Corinne Day and hair styled by James Brown (also from Croydon), it was to become a career defining highlight after she covered The Face (axed in May 2004) in 1990, aged just 16. Waif was about to take over. 

After being shot by Day in the 1990s, a model was born and Moss has now been on the cover of an astonishing number of fashion publications and UK Vogue in particular, a massive 30 times.

You could sell anything fast when that waif face of hers is on it.

Other news from 1993:

• Audrey Hepburn won an Emmy award for Gardens of the World with Audrey Hepburn

• Miuccia Prada launched a menswear line and offshoot line Miu Miu.

• Girl's magazine Shout first went on sale, as well as Wired.

• Hocus Pocus, starring Sarah Jessica Parker and the wonderful Bette Midler (see her here on The Graham Norton Show- absolutely hilarious incident beginning 1.43 minutes in- a must see!)

Daily dose of another favourite

When my ELLE magazine arrived yesterday, I was so excited to see the gorgeous and oh so pretty Carey Mulligan on the cover, looking beautifully sweet and elfin with her fab new crop. I feel like I am always blogging about people who I admire or simply love the 'look' of, but she seems to be a lot of people's girl crush at the moment, especially to style fanatics. She is certainly proving her status as a style icon, after landing 5 magazine covers this year and being awarded first place in Harper's Bazaar's annual 'Britain's Best Dressed' list for their December issue. She was described by Erdem as 'so Sixties French New Wave' and is the reason why I love her so much and which is showcased so impressively in that pastel Miu Miu dress at the Costume's Institute Annual Gala.
