sunshine
There is nothing like a little dose of Olsen-ness on a grey London morning during fashion week. I had been waiting for this moment since Coco's Tea Party predicted (quite accurately) that Ashley and Mary-Kate would be attending this year's Elle Style awards. MK looked pretty awesome and rock'n'roll in her black Lanvin but it was Ashley (surprise, surprise) who truly left me perplexed. The vintage Lacroix and the Fendi shoes made such a dazzling combination. Just leave Justin and marry me, please? Please?

My Favourite Dress
It isn't something unusual to find a list of a blogger's favourite dresses every now and again —I have done it several times. However, it is not every day that the most prominent fashion big names open up about their preferences. In 'My Favourite Dress' 150 designers and fashion personalities look back at their trajectory to pick their favourite creation ever. If that weren't enough, the forewords by Suzie Menkes (personal Goddess) and Alexandra Shulman make this new book pretty much irresistible.
I had the chance to have a look at the book and I have to admit I was impressed and surprised. I never imagined that certain fashion icons would choose such simple, old or new pieces. Anyone from Mary Quant to Stephen Jones and Christian Lacroix or Hamish Bowles describe as well why they love their picks, which makes you feel somewhat nostalgic and linked to them —I specially loved Gianfranco Ferré's, Hamish's and Donna Karan's selections (none of whom I was particularly fond of before the book). Hence, I am ordering my copy as a late Christmas present! Click here to get yours (UK click here).

PARISIAN highlights
Alright, I spoke too soon. As I saw Paris Fashion Week fade away it seemed quite clear I couldn’t possibly keep my word —I will not refrain from posting about the Haute Couture shows. However, I will stick to my shameful knowledge in the field as an excuse not to comment the catwalk and only show my favourites. So behold.

Which of the above would you wear? Why?
Also, does anybody else find Chanel's collection quite explicitly dedicated to Queen of Fashion, Anna Wintour?
I'm off.
