Isabella Oliver on The Afternoon Show

Couldn't resist the opportunity to wear my new Isabella Oliver 365 lace top (€125) on The Afternoon Show this week. Love the sweatshirt type cuffs and nude under-tank. Makes it comfy and practical; not to mention uber chic with its matching pencil skirt (€125). My quest for Gallic nous is almost complete...

Fancy one? Orders over €65 incl. free express delivery. Ask Santa before December 21st or click here for details.

advent season: day sixteen: girl crushes of 2009

advent season: day fifteen: girl crushes of 2009

To me, 2009 was the year of the ordinary girl.

Call it what you will; a backlash against celebrity, a craving for humbler icons and a more back to basics approach, or simply the power of the internet turning the attention onto the everyday woman. The point is, this year was for me less about aspiring to look like an Olsen and more about wanting a simpler and more rewarding lifestyle. The rise of photo blogs has had us interested in interiors; organic portraits of the way people really live trumping over-styled editorials.

Candid photographs sprung up across the internet documenting groups of friends and their everyday style, able to remind us of the beauty of minimal make up and jeans and tees as well as a classic vintage party dress.

In an age where magazines are dictated by their advertisers, blogs (from personal style to street style) have posed a refreshing alternative, and with that individual style has stepped back into the spotlight. As a result, this year my list of 'style inspirers' has grown, with women who, without blogs would never have made it onto my radar. By no means are they all penniless creatives- some are OSCAR winners- but they are all stylish women who come from a range of backgrounds, financial situations and all in all build a realistic image of the different types of women of the world.

So these are the women that have inspired me this year, and in some way have influenced my style (be it sense of style or lifestyle) in their own varying ways.



stay tuned for more girl crushes of 2009..

People of Walmart

Take that Scott Schuman! I'll see you and raise you The Sartorialist with People of Walmart. Forget colour blocking, immaculate tailoring and natty nous; the real deal is happening at the checkout. It's all about man thongs, onesy PJs, superhero costumes and seventies bling. Fashion be damned! Love it! Of course I owe this post to Neil's razor sharp fashion gaydar. Touché m'dear. xx

Loving it! This is what the internet was invented for, it's kinda like the Anti-Sartorialist:
