The Devil Wears Carolina Herrera....


Anna Wintour. Does that name send shivers down your spine?

The editor - in - chief of Vogue is arguably more well known than the fashion bible itself. Not least due to her infallible style sense which orchestrates our wardrobe choices in more ways than even we know....
But I'm guessing that the release of the new film 'The September Issue' will have her well known amongst all industries, not just fashion alone, if she isn't already.
I, for one, am really looking forward to the release of the docufilm which depicts Wintour's professional life as she puts together the September issue of Vogue, one of the biggest and most weighty (both pragmatically and literally) issues of Vogue throughout the year.
Call me a fashion lover, call me curious - I both am dying to have an 'inside peek' in the world of fashion editing and seeing how these minds are inspired to choose what we wear for the upcoming seasons and would LAHOVE to see the 'real' Anna, I mean we all want to know how close to call Meryl Streep was....

The September Issue is in cinemas across the UK, September 11, where you too can watch and decide if the devil really is hiding behind that sweet voice.
P.S : Think Wintour released the film as a revenge attack against The Devil Wears Prada?

I am in Love....

Hello there my lovelies!

Apologies again for the absence but social functions of the marital kind had me gripped for weeks.

I'm back to tell you, yes I am in Love. I came across the pictures which stole my heart whilst surfing online. The romanticism, the grace with a touch of rebellion can still be relayed through these lost photographs of a much remembered icon. A staggering 59 years on and the lens transports me right back to the epitome of that era, the tainted lips, soft curls and the well placed features of classic beauty. The photos still remind us in 2009 just what it was about the divine Marilyn Monroe that captured everyone and left them reeling after just one glance.

Be sure to venture back and take a look:

Kristen Stewart the new Emma Watson?

....or the American version of Emma Watson I should say.

So, as you've probably already guessed, I've finally watched the Twilight movie. I must say it was a better than I thought it would be, and I must confess that never before did I think that vampires could be so sexy.
Robert Pattinson really does do a good job portraying Edward Cullen, his talents are able to show through much better than his role playing Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter.
However, (as the critical me has been waiting to say for so long), I feel that the movie has been let down by Kristen Stewart, who plays the female lead of Bella Swan. Her sometimes wooden and often laid back style of acting, does not capture the screen - or the audience, as I believe that it should, it instead leaves her presence feeling a little dull.
I, could of course, be wrong, after all it is the first film of hers that I've seen, and I have not read the books, and therefore don't know of the character she is portraying but watching the film throughout all that kept running through my mind, was alike Emma Watson she was.

Hot or Not?

Rhianna's hot. Kanye looks good. He never misses a beat. Dope tune (is 'dope' still a viable lexis?).
Anyways, I can't figure out why I didn't like the video?! It has all the elements but still.theres.something.missing. Argh.
Perhaps the fact that the video looks a bit cheap, or maybe I'm still reeling from the slickness that was the Heartless video - amazing.

Anyways, let me know what you think, and btw I'm talking about the Paranoid video!

Chanel Numero Cinq

Sorry about the time lapse between posts guys, examinations of the political kind had become obstacles, but now that freedom surrounds moi, I am at your service once more.
So with all the minutes in day to pass by, I became utterly entranced when I turned on the TV and saw the sexy vixen that is Audrey Tautou laze across the screen, looking no less than breathtaking, might I add.
I am, of course, talking about the debut Chanel No.5 advert, in which they have now replaced Nicole Kidman with Audrey.
Audrey just looks so effortlessly chic in this short film, the epitome of a classic french woman, a greatly fitting choice for a representative of the perfume, I think. She manages to bring a refresing take of the 'black and white' nostaligia and classic themes by which Chanel have, rightly, pinpointed in their new campaigns.

You can watch the ad here:

But also check out Keira Knightly in the Coco advert, she's just as amazing:

...now all thats left is to put on the red lips, and like me wish to be transported back to time of romanticism, blues. Oh lets not forget the magical Chanel of course!
