Model Behaviour : Part One

Part One: Swedish Chic



It seems that these days, rather than being handselected by a scout at your local shopping centre or music festival, supermodels are being reared on reality TV shows. Although, thats not necessarily a bad thing...

Although Jen seemed to be the one who claimed to break the mould of the Skinny supermodel (well, actually she was a bit of a hypocrite when she admited she'd love to be a size 8) and Marianne was pushed into a debate about supermodel size, she was the one who continued to produce stunning pictures and has what it takes to be a supermodel.

Just look at the pictures-they look like the kind of think that might greet you in Vogue or Dazed, but they're from a reality TV show!

Shiny, Shiny, Magpie Galore!

(above: Flowers, femininity; of course its McMatthew! (Matthew Williamson, that is)

My first introduction to foil leggings was in my local H and M on this girl (who if isn't already a supermodel, she really should be!) She looked like a cooler, more edgy version of Marianne from Make Me A Supermodel, (anyone who doesn't know Marianne, watch out for a new post..)and was wearing an Ashish style top, lots of layering and these fantastic gold leggings.

She was attracting lots of attention, and my two friends who I was shopping with didn't seem to agree with me that she looked great.

Wish I'd taken a picture now...

But anyway...back to the point of FOIL LEGGINGS! Although many may not want to brave the look (possibly myself included..) here are some pretties to feast your eyes on!

Can't remember if this designer is if anyone knows, but I love the way they've paired the leggings with a simple white tee.




Do it like SUSIE! Susie of Stylebubble hits the nail on the head and comes over all French Chic with the mix of reds and black and a little beret.



all pairs, topshop leggings (rather steep at £18)

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!♥

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.

leave it to la chapelle!

LOVE IT

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...
