Is This the Dress of the Year?

For an average-ish dress, this is proving particularly popular. After Christina Applegate and Rachel Griffiths wore it to the same event on the same night (the 13th Annual Premiere Women in Hollywood), Princess Mary has decided to give it a go as well at an event in Copenhagen. It's a nice dress and all, but nothing spectacular.

I Luv Xmas

Because it's the one time of year when designer's bring out everything in red and green just so we can all look like little, adorable elves. How thoughtful... really they shouldn't have. I was browsing the Mollini website and came across these beauties for the Xmas season. They would be super for the Office Christmas Party. If anyone is interested - www.mollini.com.au

They should put some bells on these shoes - now that would be awesome!

Victoria Beckham on Cover of Australian Harper's Bazaar

There's been a bit of hype around this issue and I've been eagerly awaiting to see it. But if the cover is anything to go by, it's a dud. There's something so peculiar about this picture - not digging it at the 'mo - maybe it will grow on me.

New Trend: Black Nail Polish?

I must have missed the memo about black/dark nail polish, but apparently it's in again. Every "it" girl seems to doin it. And as we all know, if a celebrity does it, we want to do it too.

P.S. Don't be alarmed if my posts are becoming less frequent - I'm actually not dead in a gutter, simply studying for uni exams. Stay in school kids.

Elle Macpherson is Sooo "The Body"

I'm not sure why the cool people at Victoria's Secret decided to steal Elle's nickname, "The Body" and call Heidi Klum that. Don't get me wrong, Heidi has a killer bod, but that title belongs to Elle - always has, always will be. Of the incident Macpherson said: "We trademarked the name years ago and I've had the title for about 30 years now... But if she wants it, you know, you can have it girl.''

You'd think if you were putting a product on the market you might consider doing say, a simple Google search to see if the proposed name is taken, right? A quick search would have prevented a lot of negative publicity for Victoria's Secret. I will forever associate Victoria's Secret as being nickname stealers, instead of selling sexy panties. What a vicious cycle it is.

Macpherson has just signed on with cosmetics company ModelCo to promote one of their products - some anti-ageing one. And since she is absolutely gorgeous, I'd say she is the perfect spokesperson for it. Here she is in Sydney promoting the stuff, and proving she's still totally got it.

Will Gucci Ever be the Same Without Tom Ford?

I remember when I first heard Tom Ford was leaving Gucci and I deadset wanted to bawl my eyes out. So has/or will Gucci recover without their Saviour Ford? I don't think they have yet. One day maybe. But their standard seems to have slipped. I am a huge Gucci fan but the new Spring 07 Collection is a little on the scary side. I'm really not feeling it. Even if I could afford Gucci, I'm not so sure I'd want to buy anything. It's not so much the styles that I dislike, rather I think the purple and the black are clashing together too much. The collection seemed to get better towards the end and there was one piece in the range that I might actually kill for - a silver/white discotheque shift dress. So dreamy.

Another Celebrity Becomes a Fashion Designer

Ahh, I've always really liked Many Moore so it pains me that she's sold out with a fashion label. I know she's been doing it for a few years now, but I don't think I've gotten over it. I can't really see the clothes very well in these pics of 'Mblem. by Mandy Moore', but Mandy has definitely had better fashion days. Normally I love what she wears, but that dress makes her look a little on the frumpy side. Lift your game girl, you're better than that! Have a look at http://www.mblem.net.

The Pig Races, Melbourne, Australia

Okay, so this has absolutely nothing to do with fashion, but it is damn funny. I don't know about you, but there is just something hilarious seeing pigs diving into a pool. I had never heard of pig racing until today, so let us all pray that the unthinkable does not happen... that is, that PETA finds out and shuts them down. Besides, the pigs really do look like they're enjoying themselves. I feel like my parents have cheated me out of some good times by not taking me to the pig races.

Anorexia Out, Obesity In

It really is a sign of the times, or maybe just equal opportunity? You know, finally giving fat chicks a chance. Whatever the reason, super skinny people have been ousted from fashion shows. Models now need to be over 18.5 on the BMI scale to model, otherwise a medical certificate is required to verify that they do not have an eating disorder. But will this trend really catch on? Georgio Armani has said "fashion looks good all types.." yet he continues to use tiny models. Maybe what he really meant was fashion looks good on all types, but looks better on skinny girls? That's the only reasonable conclusion I have as to why designers continue to use underdeveloped and undernourished girls.

Miranda Kerr for L.A.M.B

Miranda Kerr is one of my favourite models, even more so since she's Australian. She's even in Wikipedia, so you know she's totally made it. Here she is looking very different in a blonde wig for the L.A.M.B collection, but still fabulous.

I didn't even recognise her at first with blonde hair.
I knew she'd be huge when I first saw her on the cover of Dolly when she won their modelling competition.
