Shiny shiny, shiny piece of leather

The silver screen at my feet and me in my thirties, and with no botox - although looking at the height of the heels these days I might take it in the balls of my feet so I could dance/stand a bit longer.

Seeing as I live in Hollywood I couldn't resist but to flag up these shiny delights by Charlotte Olympia.  Maybe they'll come in gold for one of next year's Oscar contenders.

Louis Louis

Loving Michelle Williams in the new Vuitton ad's.  The fierce brows, a perfect red lip, dark nails, scruffy blonde hair, the archetypical grunge urchin if ever there was one - casually leaning on or grasping a $4,000 bag

Of course Creative Director Marc Jacobs knows a thing or two about grunge, his being one of the names intrinsically linked with the fashion the early 90s, plus there's the rumours of his possible departure from the LV brand next year.

Perhaps this is his swansong - his fingerprint on the brand.  Simply stunning.

The colour and the shape

The Burberry Prorsum menswear collection was shown earlier today in London (of all places) and it would be an understatement to say that people liked it.  It's quite delicious.  Burb's is a huge International Power Brand but this collection returned to pay homage to its roots, the real British quirkiness of where it all began.

I couldn't help thinking about Hockney as I started flicking through the shots and subsequently read that the theme for the show was "Writers and Painters" - namely Alan Bennett and David Hockney.. (Jinx! Maybe something about the first model made me think of Hockney? I don't know)..

It's a stunning vivid collection of looks; grown up but boyish, tailored but casual, vibrant yet harmonious. Hip hip hooray!
