Chuck Bass is a dreamboat

Wears Acne at Spring 2012 Paris Fashion Week. Sigh.

A refugee's story

As South Sudan became a nation this weekend, I stumbled upon this article in an Australian fashion magazine about a remarkable young Sudanese woman who was a refugee before moving to Melbourne and becoming a model and a high school graduate who wants to study law, while raising her younger siblings (both of their parents have since left Australia and returned to Sudan. Here is a link to the Yen article - Refugee Camp to Catwalk

Panda dogs!

Apparently people in China are dying their dog's fur to look like pandas. Adorable! C'mon Upper East Side laydeez, stop putting your dogs in crystal collars or LV totes and  just start dressing them like pandas!   

Pulp - This Is Hardcore

Another Pulp favourite, because I'm having a Brit moment.

I'm not really into weddings...

 

...but I LOVED Kate Moss' wedding dress. She looked like Fairy Queen Titania from A Midsummer Night's Dream. Pity it was the confection of anti-Semite John Galliano...

Jackie, 1962

I love this shot of Jackie Kennedy on her so-called "goodwill tour" of India and Pakistan in 1962. In an era where attention focused solely on what Jackie wore, the First Lady's decision to take this trip was read as a shrewd move on her behalf to symbolically strengthen diplomatic ties between the East and the West. Jackie was a wise woman. And, of course, she also looked fabulous.

Pulp - Lipgloss

Just because I'm in New York when I'd rather be at Glastonbury doesn't mean I can't have an English moment right here and now. Oh, Jarvis - are you the perfect combination of clever and funny and sexy and cool? Why, indeed you are. This is one of my favourites.
