interesting week filled with style differences, the beginning half encompassed various glastonbury stylings and attempts to stay chic despite rain, mud and heat all packed together. The latter half of the week saw premieres of some of my most anticipated movies (public enemies, anyone? it has johnny depp, billy crudup, christian bale AND marion cotillard in it, that's just a feast for the eyes!) and therefore cocktail dresses and stiletto galore. Who came out on top???
Daisy Lowe - Glastonbury

I really like this outfit, it's fringe-tastic, and it shows off her excellent figure and it's perfect for glastonbury. You need some kind of big boots to cover at least half of your leg because of all of the mud, which she has, but then you also need a really cool rock-chic vibe to fit in with all the troubled musos, which the fringed skirt and top have, and something vintage, like that bag. But, of course, Daisy is just the ultimate Glastonbury girl what with her rock cred and pedigree.
Pixie Geldof - Glastonbury

Firstly, i love what she's doing with her hair. Although my favourite is her dark locks that give her an audrey tautou vibe i do love red hair on her. The bleached blonde was washing her out, this is colourful and youthful and very cool. Paired with the little bowler hat and the striped tee shirt she's got that perfect mix of hipster and vintage that comes off on the right side of try hard (as in, you look good). I also like what she's got going on with those granny pant shorts. I mean, let's face it, they're not for everyone (me included) but they look cute on her, and seem like they would be comfortable to wear in scorching heat. You do need legs like that to pull it off, i mean, those legs look good even with those gumboots on them! Well, if you've got it, flaunt it!
Chloe Sevigny

I adore the colour beige on some people. On the right sunkissed blonde beige can be absolutely stunning, it's suggestive of wearing nothing at all (and a little sex never hurt anyone!) and it also alludes to the opposite of sex: washed out mothers wearing beige slacks on the school run. The inimitable Chloe manages to tread the line between those two, showing enough skin to get third degree burns (the skirt's hemline is the same as that of the jacket!) and nude heels to elongate the legs (not that she needs it) paired with demure make up and hair swept up in a chic do. I like the scalloped edging on both the jacket and the skirt, this chloe SS 09 collection is really doing Chloe a million favours, and i also love that she paired it with a sparkly, sequined vest that seems just a little bit trashy. She is the queen of mixing things up, throwing things together that you might not expect. Stunning!
Alexa Chung
MTV
Thank god for TFS, since i can't watch the episodes online and gauge her outfits, tFS is how i'm getting my 'It's On WIth Alexa Chung' fix every day. Yes, you read that right, every day because her show now runs daily (yippee!). I heard the show's not that great, but who cares if they give Alexa a clothing allowance? I have always loved this Charles Anastase blazer and searched for a similar one through all the thrift stores of Sydney (no dice) and paired with the band tee and skinny jeans (oh to have legs that go on forever! how lovely that would be) she strikes a great figure. I don't really like the shoes, i would have liked them better in black to match the rest of the outfit, but meh, i'm too tired to care too much about it now. Nicely done Alexa!
Marion Cotillard
Celebutopia
Oh Marion. Oh la la Marion! I envy your innate chic-ness, your ability to wear jewel tones, your stunning gallic features, your access and friendship with hot, semi-straight designers, and your gorgeous french boyfriend Guillame Canet *sigh*. Marion is the thinking man's pin up, she's charming and clever and endearingly human (remember her break down after winning the oscar? 'there are some angels in this city!' aawwww!'). I love the detail on the bodice of this dress, as well as the patent black accessories. Those shoes are interesting, very clunky and heavy at the toe and then this tiny little ankle strap. I also love how her hair is pulled back and sort of sculpted. Very now. She really is radiant though, sooo beautiful. Oh Je t'adore!!!
Also just as an interesting little tidbit: This popped up on the style.com website the other day. Look who pre-empted a trend! Hehe I bet those girls took a tip or two from fabulous future me. Stripes at work! It must be friday!
