Fashion Friday Plus

My ode to fashion this Friday is short & sweet.  Or perhaps I should say long & green.

I am a fool for green and Zoe Saldana certainly rocked this frock at the Latin Grammy Awards on Sunday.  I hadore it!  It's from the Elie Saab 2012 Spring Collection and I want one. And somewhere glam to where it.  And a body to fit it.  That's all.

In other news...

...Tuesday was cardholders cheese & champs night at one of our not-as-local DJs store so I took the opportunity for a trip and a toast and set off to find me some more Tannenbaum boot-ay.

It's a bit Burberryesque and I love the colour.

                          The brass is covered                 I'm nothing if not a proud Ostrayen

I like to put bon bons in the tree too.

The little peeps came with and were excited to see a cut-out of the Statue of L.  They have a slight ob-sess-ion with NY post their favourite aunty's (self-bestowed title) recent trip and the fact that lady liberty herself was brandishing Kieh'ls a-marzing moisturiser instead of a torch did not dull their enthusiasm.  Though it was mentioned.

Then today in the post, these sweet things from Robert Gordon arrived.  Love.

Too much, is never enough.

PS Is it OK to say I feel sad for Demi Moore when we're not on a first name basis?  Because I do.

There's nothing like the Duchess of C wearing a new frock to help you out on Fashion Friday! Last night she and Wills hosted a charity dinner for the National Memorial Arboretum Appeal. Kate wore a silver-grey Grecian style gown (speculated to be Alice Temperley) and I'M SURE those are the same choos we saw her in here.  Yep, it's only a glimpse but I can tell.  I'm gifted like that.

I think she looks fabu-rous!

When I got my first job and could finally spend my marigolds on whatever I liked, I bought fashion mags like they may not be printed again.  These were the girls on every single cover. They weren't just models, they were supermodels and I was mesmerised.

Five of the originals (Yasmin, Helena, Cindy, Naomi & Eva) are back on the cover of December's Harper's Bazaar UK for a Duran Duran inspired Dolce & Gabbana photo shoot.

Love seeing them all back together, makes me feel young and frivolous again.

Apparently spots are going to be big in the northern hemisphere autumn/winter and if the popularity of Stella McCartney's polka-dot dresses is any indication then I think they're a sure thing.

And out of the blue I'm back.  I didn't realise how hard it was going to be to write about anything other than New York as we count down to our holiday (I don't want to bore you with it before I've even left).  So I'm thankful for Fashion Friday, an easy post to help me on my way as I try to get my vibe back :)  

Love her or hate her, I do love the Vionnet dress Madonna wore to the Venice Film Festival last night.

Just something about the colour combo I really like.

They got married a little while ago now but at last some more of Kate Moss' wedding photos are out in the latest issue of American Vogue.  If you're lucky to have Mario Testino as the official photographer you'd be hoping to get back some pretty amazing shots of the day.  

Their take on Mick and Bianca Jagger's famous photo.

Jamie & Kate, their take on the garden of Eden?

We saw pictures of the wedding dress of Ralph Lauren's daughter Dylan was unveiled in Vogue. According to Andre Leon Talley it was a handmade duchess satin. silk tulle, Georgette embroidered dress with a tiered train.  It's prob a bit more frou frou than were used to seeing from Ralphie BUT if ever there were a time to be extravagant it has to be when your only daughter gets married!

Happy weekend everyone!
