Baby blues

She wore blue velvet, silk, tulle and cotton for SS09.

In particular, powder blue.  Pretty, pastel, pale blues found on sugar coated almonds and duck eggs.  

Swathed in sky blues, dreamy debutantes danced up and down the catwalks at Elie Saab.

Glittery snakeskin Studio 54 divas shone in the palest blue scales stalking Balenciaga's runway.

Ladies that lunch wore french fancy blues at Lanvin.  

Tomboys in grey blues gave Wunderkind's suits a rainy day hue.  

Victorian lace and soft blues are oh-so-pretty on Erdem's sexy secretaries.

Chuck Bass goes fishing

It seems they're all at it, designers can't get enough of the boy we love to hate (or love, in my case) Mr. Charles Bass. Gossip Girl's most stylish character is surely behind this natty Band of Outsiders SS09 get-up, a combo one can easily imagine Bass wearing whilst fishing for another kind of (sea)Bass. Suits you sir.

Fringe, frills and feathers

Everyone's in a flap over this season’s fabulous showgirl threads.

Alberta Ferretti, Chanel, Rimondi, Sonia Rykiel, Jean Paul Gaultier and Alexander McQueen are just some of the designers playing with the flapper look for SS09. Showgirl style fancy feather head-dresses, thigh-high fringed slits on cheeky Charleston gowns, and pleated prohibition-era party frocks sashayed down the catwalk this winter.




Bringing a smile to our faces and a flush to our cheeks, this is a trend worth imitating if only for the spring it’s sure to put in your step. Altogether now...
