Burberry has taken over!!!

Burberry Behind the Scenes for S/S 08

S.A.A. has fallen in love. S.A.A. has fallen in love with-as Agyness would pronounce it- BURR-BREH!!! Also known to the rest of the world as Burberry! Well not Burberry as such but more or less the newest ad campaign starring, over hyped, Agyness Deyn; the beautiful, Alex Pettyfer and the best that there is, Lily Donaldson along with a large number of other models both the lesser known and the obvious. The fantastic clothes, beautiful and large crop of models, amazing vibe on set and the fun looking photos and even better behind the scenes video all combined make for one of THE best ad campaign I have seen ever considering all of the greats of our time like Calvin Klein & Hermes, this definitely is a campaign that will go down in history!!!!

The secrets to a Fashionable Winter 2008.

An excellent example of Fobo carried by Sienna Miller who of course was previously the queen of its predecessor, Boho.

A weak example of Hardware but my limited time today has forced me to use this limp example of the style.

Mischa Barton demonstrating the combination of both hardware and Foho. Beautifully carried.

Two Predominant looks of winter 08:

1. Foho/hippie chic
2. Hardware/rock and roll

The new staples for winter 08:
1. Black tights/stockings
2. Black cropped leather jacket
3. Gloves-chunky knit, brown/black leather or suede - either in elbow or wrist length
4. Oversived, Everything-knited jumpers, gloves, shawl thingies etc.
5. Felt hat-I'm not going to say fedora cause personally I think there are some REALLY ugly ones out there but stick to a cute 1920's/30's style and you can't go wrong. Especially paired with the gloves.

Foho, is the combination of the long dead Boho trend but with a new inspiring folk cultural influence. Sportsgirl this season has decided to hone in on the trend with a hippie-like palette of browns, beige, greens and yellow, check it out at www.sportsgirl.com. Hardware is a mix of everything rock'n'roll with a little bit of a punkish vibe. Think black leather jackets, nail polish and leggings with 'hard' metal embellishments on the wrists, waist, neckline and shoes. The two specific looks can be mixed but only if you have the confidence and conviction to carry it through. Both looks are easy to achieve but can also be worked on and added to to achieve a sophisticated and captivating look.

I can't find my gem! Can you?

I just wanted to ask, where is Gemma? I think she fell down a well or something because she is no where to be found! Yes, we saw her in the Black Balloon, but where has all her modeling gone? I feel like her absence is taking a toll on fashion at the moment or at least it's depressing-as much as I hate the overuse of this word it does seem fitting- me!!! As much as I love Gemma-which I very much do- I have to admit that she seems to be slipping from the grips of fashion with S.A.A. favourite and fellow Aussie model Miranda Kerr raking in slightly more dosh according to the recent stats published by Forbes in its article 'The World's Top-Earning Models'; Miranda came in at a surprising yet slightly expected 10th place at $3.5million just above Gemma tied with mother of two, Isabeli Fontana at 11th on an enviable $3million. I don't know whether it was the death of close friend-maybe boyfriend-Heath Ledger or her new movie; but either way this past year we've seen Ms Ward begin to follow new paths and discover new talents. However, as much as I love watching her act I still enjoy admiring the beautiful images she creates, so fingers crossed for the return of our favourite baby faced alien to the catwalks and pages of our glossies soon!

Love Always xoxo
