SHE PUTS THE 'OHO' IN 'BOHO-CHIC'


















Regarding the title of this post, I was going to say she puts the 'chic' in 'boho-chic' but that would be way too predictable. She is Isabel Lucas. She is an actress. She is awesome. Move over Sienna Miller.

I MISS AWARDS SEASON...

Anne Hathaway in Armani Privé
Drew Barrymore in Christian Dior Haute Couture
Reese Witherspoon in Rodarte
Natalie Portman in Rodarte
Freida Pinto in custom-made John Galliano
Penelope Cruz in vintage Pierre Balmain

Penelope Cruz in Alaia
Hayden Panettiere in Gianfranco Ferre
Maggie Gyllenhaal in Lanvin
Salma Hayek in Bottega Veneta
Anne Hathaway in Armani Privé
Cameron Diaz in Chanel Haute Couture
Amy Adams in Oscar De La Renta

So. The image of Anne Hathaway at the Golden Globes 2009 is currently my screensaver. It made me nostalgic for awards season, and so for you, my lunchers, I have compiled my favourite Globes/Oscars dresses of the 2009 season. As Rachel Zoe tells us in her programme, this is the most stressful time for stylists, but let's be honest she killed it both times with Anne Hathaway and with Cameron Diaz at the Globes. Although many hated it, I am obsessed with Reese Witherspoon's Rodarte dress at the Oscars, I love Amy Adams in Oscar, but i LOVE LOVE LOVE Drew Barymore's whole look. I just feel it. You know?

THAKOON


Just two recent looks I've seen by Thakoon on Reese Witherspoon and Leighton Meester. I love them both, especially the print of Reese's which is just positively deep. No further comment.

MICHAEL JACKSON (1958-2009)


























Looking at all these photos, I am amazed at how much the collections of today are inspired by him. Balmain? Givenchy? Look no further than this man. Michael Jackson even wore Balmain and Givenchy clothes during his last days. Here are some iconic looks from his much too short life/career. Having not lived in the 80's, it is so bizarre for me to see how much of an influence one performer has had on fashion today. I mean, MILITARY JACKETS, SEQUINS! I tell you lunchers, I have been schooled in fashion history these past few days.
