sTyLe's eYe SPys//////////>Fashion Exhibition

Love Fahion? Hold onto your hats fashion followers and art lovers alike: The V&A are putting on one hell of a Yohji Yamamoto & Nick Knight show....Thought I'd share this duet of dreams with you as mentioned the other day at age 19 I did not know who Yamamoto was on first day of fashion school. Do now. So there. Also the fabulous Nick Knight was rammed down all of our throats at Art Institute Bournemouth cos he graduated from there. Every single tutor mentioned this daily. Whateves. Sure AIB is no Central Saint Martins but it is a first choice art school that really packs a punch outside the big smoke.
Yohji's, who's Japanese btw, has been on the scene some 30 great years. He joined forces with Knight and an unknown graphic designer Peter Saville yonks ago to create 'catalogues' of each seasons work. That is what this exhibition is all about....this amazing unison of creative minds and the sheer brilliance of their visual masterpieces.
There's to be 80 odd garments of his career, film excerpts, photographs and these extraordinary catalogue images. Get down there and show some love for all things fashion photography united.

From March 12- July 10 2011

Look on ebay for these daily. Always a size 5 can be found. Never a 7/40. Hate flipper size feet. Lust after these.....

Love>>>>BeBe BlacK

She's massively talented and still somehow unsigned.... but not for much longer. I am willing to bet my Chanel 2.55 on it. BeBe Black is a cool Weymouth born, London residing singer, with a voice that oozes so much vintage glamour and sassiness it's hard to remember your actually listening to this in 2011 but yet it's totally now. Her self composed genre, a magical mix of garage/gothic/pop with a smackling of french songstress, Edith Paif....Hot talent. She worked previously as a fashion stylist for Topshop Oxford Circus and was one half of the indie duo Bebe & Paulo who toured festivals last summer.

Bebe's first solo gig last night at Camden's heaving Lock Tavern became silenced when she started singing and even the hard to impress bar staff froze in awe. Her sound evokes yester year and gives you goosebumps. She owns stage presence by the bucketload. Her look is effortlessly hip meets bombshell. She has the kind of voice I feel like I should have been blessed with but don't. Boyfriend even turned to me and said "that's what you think you sound like isn't it? Well love, you really don't". Oh chortle bloody chortle.

Music big wigs, trend setters and fans filled the room. She started with my personal favourite, Railway Station, Bebe charmed as she played 5-6 haunting tunes with grace and ease for her onlooking, envious crowd. Hanging with her best/flat mate Nicola chatted afterwards and says the Bebster pens all these songs in her own boudoir, so as well as being musically gifted, she can write AND play it too. A star was for sure born in a leopard print maxi dress and some wicked creepers.



What I wore to Bebe's Gigette



LisTening to>>>♥♥♥♥Heart

Heart♥ my new/old favourite group from Canada. Banging out tunes like Alone, Barraccuda, Crazy in Love and Magic Man has become somewhat what regualrly fills my airwaves and lug holes. Patti Smith and good ol Pat Benatar are close 2nd favourites but Heart is where my ♥ lies. Lovin' the 1970s vibes and folky sounds, power ballads 90s style and their 80s comeback tunage. The group have had 'Crazy in Love' sampled by the likes of Eminem and 'Magic Man' features in my fav scene from Sophia Coppola's Virgin Suicides where 'Trip Fontaine' aka Josh Hartnett walks the halls of the school in a sexual montage. You can also play Barracudda on guitar hero, which I smash out almost daily.

♥♥LovEs>>>>>>>♥♥♥♥♥♥PLaStic BArrettes blog

Finding new talent can be exhausting and more often than not the same shite spouts out from laptop screens everywhere but sometimes along comes a blog that inspires to the core.

Meet 13 year old Bella from the US who likes 'drawing, bowie and anything directly related to Audrey Hepburn'. She's been blogging on Plastic Barrettes since 2009 whilst at school and is becoming a bit of an icon in her own right. Her blog is effortlessly cool in ways I would've only dreamed of at 13 or even 28, ahem. 

I'd have been like Proenza Schouler what? How do you even spell that, let alone oh look 'hi, there's Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez the men behind the brand' at some bloggy conference in New York. I wouldn't have known them if I'd fallen over them in the street. If people weren't East 17 I didn't give one. If the Internet had been around then and as readily available what with iphone's and blackies who knows but instead I was in the local park drinking Cider like only a true Brit teen does (in a wicked get up though I'll have you know). Oh why didn't I heart fashion with her dedication and in depth knowledge? I only knew my Miss Selfridge from my Clockhouse back then and even on acceptance to my fashion degree course I dared utter the words 'who's Yohji Yamamoto??' to a fellow student on my first day. She replied only with a look of utter disdain and ridicule in her eyes. Sure there were no weeklies like Grazia/Heat either then (Jesus when was this backwards world exactly??) but I was still not obviously as dedicated as the young starlets of today who will be tomorrows fashionista's. Missed the boat, maybe. Fashion is so accessible now. These lucky young girls are literally living the dream. Why is hindsight such a bitch???

Style's HeaRts TalenT>>>>>>>JAckie DiXon of SMYW & Elle f@mE

Jackie Dixon has much styling and photographic talent. Having had the pleasure of working with her for an ol Toppers project during LFW my love for her work has catapulted to Mars and back. People feel at complete ease and give their all in front of the lens for her lovely and hardworking nature. 

LOVE her blog ShowMeYourWardrobe muchly. Elle (my holy bible) showcases her luxe skills every month and her latest post shares that she has been busy snapping Elizabeth Lau's AW/11 lookbook. A-maze. The pics highlight girls about town, DJ's and bloggers galore wearing epic looks, captured in only a way Dixon can. Style's has selected some for your viewing pleasure. Seen.

sTyLe's eYe SPys//////////>French Films

"French movies are having a moment.....world cinema is hot right now but France is where the heart is. Moving memoirs like 'Diving Bell & The Butterfly' and 'La Vie en Rose' are deep insights to such great and art inspired minds, here being both music and written word. HeartBreaker starring Vanessa Paradis is up there with all time favourites. Fashion, love and wealth shot in with artistic direction with those chiseled cheekbones. Sigh. Priceless is a fashionista's must see, with Chanel and Givenchy headlining and Audrey Tautou as supporting actress."

★BiBle is lauNchEd★

ELLE Collections is out, rushed out on day of launch as per and added her safely to the full collection. She's now a steep £7 but totes worth every last copper. Heart it muchly and woe betide anyone who spills/uses her as a coffee mat.

ChaNel's NeW SprIng Drop>>>>

These hit stores today everyone. Had to have all 3. Natch. Better than any previous trio launches, these are for sure, a sellout. Get them quick as these are limited edition.

PriMark JoY>>>

Who doesn’t heart Primark? Primark not ‘Primarni’ or any other shoddy names. Who needs to be embarrassed to say they shop at this haven anymore? Not I that’s for sure. The Watford branch is an absolute gem of an offering. It’s far enough outside London that it’s always got those pieces you see screaming ‘buy me’ out of Look’s/Heat’s/Grazia’s pages but also not so remote that it stocks bad garments no trendy gal wants.


Today’s little outing consisted of the new season’s temptations lining the entrance walkway, neatly, surprisingly as well. Mary Portas has certainly scared the big wigs at HQ because every member of staff I spoke to today was helpful and polite. Saying that, it was very almost, eerily quiet whilst I was shopping. I spied a bag in the window on the way in, hunted for it but was informed it had sold out, me being me, demanded said bag et viola! It’s mine now. The jewellery section was merchandised to perfection, lined with sparkle, nudes and adorned with shimmer. The new season line up looks fantastic and had I had more money I would’ve spent a small fortune this morning and I didn’t even make it downstairs to shoes and homeware. Keep up the good work Primark.

Yummy Scrummy delights to amuse any bouche in a joyful array of colours from across la sprectrum...that's what Laudree Macaroon's are as we all (well you should) know. But who knew about the packaging being so sought after>>?

Pop into their Piccadilly haven of a store and be prepared to be in for more than just a sweet treat. The boxes are so beautiful they must be displayed and put to good use within your homes interior.

Different shapes and sizes of these lavish Louis style boxes line the shelves and a it's lot less guilt free choosing the box than spending hours deciding on your favourite flavour of macaroon....mine is Raspberry btw. These boxes adorn my dressing table, storing my gold, bobby pins and make up brushes and have mass lust appeal. Go one step futher and purchase a tres chic Parision bag while you're at it. Check out this grey 2-sided beauty.................

Sunny day today and makes us think Spring has Sprung
& of Cider shaped thoughts...its on the horizon people>>>Ditch your Cape
and dust off your trusted biker jacket as she's perfect for SS/11.... this jacket
is the perfect shape and will not date...dont go for fads/zips/buckles etc as it
will age your timeless garment of dreams. This 'pleather' beauty has seen me
through the last 3 years and since it gets such rave reviews I'm taking her to
Sri Lanka with me to have her made up in real expeeeensive leather. Ace.

VOGUE ON VOGUE

We stumbled across these images from Fashin on a cyber stroll around Refinery29. These clever so-and-sos have taken every Vogue cover from 2010 and layered them up over each other to form one composite image. The result is a blurry, hectic, yet somehow rather beautiful look at the year in fashion. We're loving Germany, Italy and UK - which is your favourite?

Style's HeaRts thIs>>>>>>>

We’ve fallen in love with Gisele Scanlon’s second book, The Goddess Experience! Packed with a 1001 mirco-pleasures that will take you from breakfast to bedtime with a smile, we can’t put it down. Full of sartorial tips and gorgeous illustrations, ours is packed with post it notes that have ‘do this’ and ‘check this out’ scrawled all over them.
With so many inspiring tips on travel, fashion and beauty – from the lovely Gisele herself, and all the designers, celebrities and experts who have let her into their lives – you’re guaranteed to find lots of little experiences that will make you smile.

What we adore about this book is that it makes you remember that the little things in life – from the perfect cup of tea to painting your nails just the right shade – can make you just as happy as the bigger things! Luckily, for Gisele, that includes bonding over shoes with Nicholas Kirkwood, discovering the backstage secrets of fashion heavyweights such as Vivienne Westowood, hunting out the best boutiques in Berlin and so many more exciting things that you should get hold of her book and read it cover to cover.
