Romy Coppola: Everyone say aww!

Ahh, Sofia C finally gave birth to a little baby girl!

Man, that baby is going to be one cool kid, Marc Jacobs baby grows, French chic, family friends like Kirsten D and Bill Murray, french europop rehearsals in the garage, access to Sofia Coppola's wardrobe

....and on top of all that she gets a cool name like Romy!

Is there a new (yet cooler and more intellectual) Lou Doillon in the making?

♥BIG UP!♥

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Seeing as I still can't work out how to add links to the side of this pesky template, I thought I would instead
post an entry about my favourite fashion blogs. I'm not talking about the fantastic (but big) ones like Style Bubble, I'm talking about the ones that have had 300 views max, but are my regular haunts.

I just wanted to say to these people how great your blogs are and that I'm either giving you a big far HOLLAAA because you write so well or I love your posts!

David La Chapelle, baby

After discovering the book that I am in love with in my local borders, I came home and did a bit of research...

Its Heaven to Hell, a book of work by David La Chapelle and it is the ultimate coffee table book. Except maybe one to put away when O.A.P Family members pop around. Wouldn't want Granny choking on her batenburg now, would you?

Definetly on my chistmas list..

and while looking around his site, I found a fantasticlyhomosexualyclaustrophobicyetexcitinglyretrocandycolourliscious film featuring Amanda Lepore that he shot for MAC.

Here are some of my favourite stills.

Leatherface and Richie: Its over!


It seems that Winter 2006 has been the time of the Hollywood splits!

First there was Ryan and Reese...

and Britney and K Fed...

now its Nicole and Rachel!

Nicole has apparently replaced the "Leatherface" because she wanted to surround herself with positive people and influences." while she focuses on putting on weight and tackling her eating disorder. Rachel Zoe styles for most of Hollywoods skinny IT girls and has been accusses of promoting unhealthy body images.

Then: Although Zoe's styling shot Nicole into the limelight as a style role model, her style became an identikit also being worn by Lindsay and Mischa. Now: Looking grown up, sophisicated and on the way to recovery! Nicole at the American Music Awards, styled by Ehrlich.

The stylist has been replaced by Cristina Ehrlich, who owns a clothing line called Miss Davenporte, and has styled for Jessica Biel and Penelope Cruz.

Although...her the davenporte designs have also been popular with the Olsens... hmm, but lets not delve into contradictory points...

Loveely Davenporte smock dress worn by Ashley Olsen.

Oh No...

My first reaction to this outfit was "Bleuggh! What are you doing?"

...but now I'm not quite sure. Because although its quite chavvy and very bling, it also kind of works because its borderline.

Almost 1970s...

Well, at least I'm certain that I don't like Gavin's getup. He looks like her bitch! And he looks really gruppy! You know when men dress like teenagers? I prefered his scuffy look, with his wild hair. Now he looks all label happy with his exepnsive looking jeans and leather jacket.

Oh dear...

Orange Delight

Heres a collection of pictures of the great model that is Karen Elson. I love how different some of these pictures are. Like I just don't see the model as being her in the one below, she looks like an anonymous woman from another age, and thats what models should be able to do. She can recreate her identity in an instant. As soon as she walks down the catwalk she makes you forget than shes from Manchester (I was so surprised when I learnt this!) and that she shares a bed with Jack White!

Are Miu Miu and Li.Lo heading for a crash and burn?

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

It has been revealed the Lindsay Lohan is to be the new face of Miu Miu for their spring 2007 campaign, which I find pretty insulting!


I love Miu Miu, and even more I love them for the fact that their adverts feature interesting celebrities and models who have individual styles and unique looks. They're featured lesser known stars and big personalities, and I think its great that they featured models with a 33 year age gap in last years campaign. (eg, the Kim B and Camille B ad below).

So the fact that from all the talent out there, they've settled for Lindsay (who in my opinion these days is just another tiring LA It girl, who is overpaid, overfeatured and over-revealing her desicion to go free in the pant department!) is such a shame. (But PS, the "Paris is a cu*t" thing was funny, watch the video here. what. an. idiot.) http://perezhilton.com/topics/lindsay_lohan/lindsay_paris_is_a_cunt_20061109.php

Wonder if she'll actually turn up for the shoot? The photographers are the duo Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott who have been responsable for the photos used in campaigns for Louis Vuitton and covers for W and I:D, as well as taking photos of Kate M, Madonna and Kylie. See below and you'll probably recognise their work.

Have Miu Miu made the wrong choice? and has Li.Lo entered the "crash and burn" stage?

Heres an extract from L-Lohan.com about her bad experience at the World Music Awards in London this week.

One of the worst things that could happen to someone is getting booed off stage, another would be falling.
...Welcome to Lindsay Lohan's world.
Lohan had jetted to London to host the 2006 World Music Awards in London only to find an audience that wasn't too thrilled with the redhead.
Apparently, Lohan was booed off the stage!
What?!
However, despite the cold reception from the audience, Lohan smiled her way through several clothing changes and hosting scenes until she fell down the stairs.
Talk about the last straw...
As Lohan was walking backstage, reports claimed that she fell down the stairs (though not injuring herself).
"Lindsay was devastated," a source said. "She came off stage and fell, and so she had to give up. It looked incredibly painful."

Theres no sign of a clip on Youtube...
