The September Issue...

So this looks amazing. A Devil Wears Prada style insight into the New York Vogue offices is nearly upon us. On September 11th the UK will have the pleasure of being able to have a fly on the wall view of Anna Wintour's day to day life at Vogue. I've decided that if no one will go and watch this with me, then I will head out and go to the cinema by myself like a complete geek. It will be worth it. Here's the trailer to get you a little more excited!

Ok, so now I've gone a little video crazy. But I have found a behind the scenes video from the most recent Burberry campaign featuring Emma Watson. Now I don't know about you, but I thought it was all PR that Emma has recently been dubbed as a fashion icon. HOWEVER, after watching this video I have a new found respect and although I'm sure the PRs had a lot to do with Emma's instanious leap from Harry Potter geek to fashion leader I actually think she comes out rather well in this...

 
I also found this really cute video of Alexa Chung in a behind the scenes video of an Elle cover shoot for the October issue.


I wanted to show off my new flowery tights. I feel there is an element of the circus in them, yet despite all this I still rather like them. Though I think they need to be saved for summery days.

Vintaaaaaage shoooosies!

Thought I'd share these shoes. They are my favourites. They were my mother's back in her heyday. I love them.

'nuff said.

The Beautiful Fall

I am currently reading this beauty...

It is a delightful tale by Alicia Drake about the relationship between Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Largerfeld in the 1970's. It's a really fascinating read, but that could just be me being all geeky as I love informative tales such as this!
I thought I'd also share with you my bargain buy. I finally acquired some sunglasses (despite the fact that summer is nearly over, sob) but I have finally found a pair I actually am willing to part money for...


I love the fact that they remind me of a cross between the old aviator glasses and the more recent bug glasses that have become so popular. (p.s. I got them for the merry price of one good english pound!)

Think that is all for today, other than I feel the need to express my recent craving to go to Paris and speak french and rifle through cute parisian vintage shops and boutiques. Ah Paris!
