lucy in disguise

Apologies for my silence if anybody has missed me the last week or so but it’s been a busy few weeks with turning 17, the spring ball, giving up carbs , prelims and what not. Tonight I am not ashamed to say I am dedicating my entire night to the TV in my pyjamas – particularly looking forward to the 3^rd and final Lily Allen program about her vintage shop Lucy in Disguise. I’ve always been a Lily fan - of both her style and her music, admittedly I was never huge on the big gold hoops, dresses and Nike airs look...

If your completely in the dark about Lucy In Disguise, there all about luxury vintage to buy but if your more like me and can’t quite find a couple of hundreds in the bank to splash out on gorgeous vintage wear they let you rent it. Genius. From what I’ve seen in the last two programs there pretty good at selecting the good bits and leaving all the junk behind.

It’s also been announced that Lily Allen is going to launch her own collection in June with a vintage inspiration designed with Nadia Jones. Rumour has it there will be 30’s inspired black sequin dress and 40’s style tea dresses. As well as being sold in Lucy in Disguise the collection will also be available in Harvey Nichols. Meaning I won’t have to trek to Covent Garden for a Lucy in Disguise experience, although I think I should do so soon.

Happy Tuesday xo 

Galliano dismissed from Dior

It would be silly to let the hype around John Galliano go by without a word from me on the oodles of controversy that has surrounded him lately. Days after news broke that John Galliano would design close friend Kate Moss’s wedding gown, Dior suspended the designer after anti-Jewish comments in a Parisian bar. As if that wasn’t awkward enough, the video of him declaring his love for Hitler was. The ultra beautiful and jewish face of Dior, Natalie Portman was unsurprisingly disgusted at the British designer.

Timing wasn’t great either with Paris Fashion Week a few days away leaving Dior without a creative director. The industry held their breath to see the outcome of the end of an era. The Musée Rodin was swarmed with crowds, heavy security and policing as well as Anna Wintour and her daughter, Elena Anaya and Patrick Demarchelier. Dior president Sidney Toledano spoke of the holocaust before the reveal of the Christian Dior autumn/winter 2011 collection was shown with the brains of the collection disgraced and dismissed.

Have a nice day

Ps. Happy International Women's Day x
