31 Rue Cambon


As if we needed another excuse to drag our boyfriends into Chanel (still trying to convince mine a 2.55 is like buying a house-it's a total investment!) almost every day of the week, now we find out that King Karl (yes we have two kings- Karl and Christian) has decided that magazines rule and is producing his very own in-house Chanel version with the irrefutable creative talent of Purple Magazine's Oliver Zahm.

The magazine aptly named "31 Rue Cambon" after the address of the first and oldest Chanel boutique will be available in every store worldwide. Oliver said, "this is the first issue and first Chanel magazine which I have art directed and designed for Karl Lagerfeld."

We are too excited and have a feeling that issue 01 will be incredibly hard to get hold of so expect queues and catfights, or should that be Karlfights, which ever, we are happy to see Chanel advocate the significance of the glossy.

Copy Cat...walk

Denim on denim may seem like a scary idea but we are loving this SS10 Chloe look. Try re-creating it for laid back day wear. Shirt £29 AE Western, jeans £230 J Brand, sandals £64 Tory Birch, satchel £424 Ally Capellino.
For a smarter, office friendly catwalk look go along the Celine route, mixing hard leather with a feminine shirt or blouse and topping it of with the SS must have... a clog.

Get the look with this loose fitting white shirt £136 Surface to Air, black leather mini skirt £297 Designers remix, black clogs £78 Ugg Australia

TPLRG's: Twilight Tribute

With the release of 'New Moon' this week we thought it was only appropriate to pay some sort of tribute to the film that has turned anyone with a pulse in to an excitable teenager. However, rather than banging on about the R-Patz/ Taylor Lautner divide we'd rather do it our way and leave our homage to I.D and Erin Wasson in this Vampish shoot for the Sept 2008 issue.


Supermodel Returns: Schiffer in Chanel.. AGAIN

20 years after she first graced the Chanel advertising boards and following her A/W 08/09 ads, Claudia Schiffer is back and fronting the new SS ready to wear campaign for the uber brand. 
After taking time off to look after her children, Schiffer is certainly returning to the fashion scene with a bang, with her nude cover for I.D (see below) and now this, she's showing us all what we've been missing out on. 
Whilst Lilly Allen is young and (arguably) hip, we think the classic elegance of Chanel is far better suited to the likes of the old school beauties.

Boutins for 80's icon Barbie


Dear Santa,
This year I have been awfully good (for about the last 10 minutes)and so would like to add one more thing to my Christmas list, I know it is late but as you are Santa I figured that you can make anything possible.
I would really really like the Christian Louboutin Barbie....

Yes, you heard it,our bleach blond childhood friend has teamed up with THE shoe god and together they have created a glamorous line of limited edition ultra-fashion forward dolls. There will be a series of three different Barbie's available in the range. The first, Cat-burglar Barbie, dons a sleek hooded cat suit and comes with no less than FOUR pairs of red soled beauties as well as a collectible calendar which follows the duo's fashion-filled travels.
Launching in December (just in time for Christmas) at £100 each they will be sold through www.net-a-porter.com/barbie register your details now!

The Power Blazer vs. The Slouch

Since Margiella and later, Balmain altered the way we look at shoulder pads the classic blazer seems to have been reinvented, defined by sharp tailoring and jutting shoulders. At first we thought this was a super cool way to modernize a simple look, but unfortunately the time has come where i feel we are in danger of 'Ugging'** out the shoulder pads!! They are EVERYWHERE on the high street and i feel its time we took a break!! Lets move the blazer revolution in another direction!! .....Introducing the slouch blazer, first seen in the form of the 'boyfriend' blazer, it has become bigger baggier and even more fabulous!! Our SS10 faves are these from Chloe and SYKES.

Ugging= death by overwear!!

Stud muffin

Both being totally obsessed with Mr  Louboutin's 'Big Kiss', we almost had simultaneous heart attacks when theses bad boys arrived in the post room today...


Fresh off the catwalk, Louise Goldin has made our hearts melt... It might be a long Christmas as they only hit Topshop stores in the Spring but the wait will be well worth it. They are so good girl gone bad...the clog might be in this season but who cares when you can have a pair of heels this kick ass!
