Victoria by Victoria Beckham's new fashion line

A brand new sister line from Victoria Beckham's main label comes Victoria, the fresher, younger collection for Spring. It brings in bright colour blocking yet channels the ladylike and 1920s Gatsby glamour with the dropped waists, high necks and pussybow details of Spring/Summer 2012.With cutesy cartoon characters such as Emily the Strange taken as inspiration for this collection, it is a range that Mrs B herself says "Can't help but make you smile with its energy and personality" and I've got to say I quite agree.
My favourite piece from the collection is off-white shirt dress with the almost 'watermarked' aquatic-blue, flower print - smart, boyish yet feminine. It just so happens to be the most expensive piece of the collection, unfortunately.
Exclusive to Harvey Nichols Knightsbridge and Birmingham.

New from M.I.A. - Bad Girls

Ha, I like it, it's a catchy tune you can already see being played loud out of car windows though I don't think its anything different in terms of MIA's usual style, Good to have her back though!
Below is the best Youtube video I've seen for this song in terms of good sound quality.

I have a problem...

I seem to be buying shoes on a weekly basis even though I am supposed to be saving! Here a couple from the last two weeks:
Loving the PPQ x Office '90s platforms in go-with-anything metallic (complete with dustbag) and classic black suede wedges with a touch of the new season's fave animal print - snakeskin.
Here's to saving and no.more.spending!

All of the Lights!

A friend thought this was right up my street, they were right, I couldn't ask for anything more perfect.
By day, a beautifuly cut pair of jeans, by night they have an added touch - neon!
'Phosphorescent Invasion' by Hudson Jeans are perfect for a night out, but smart enough for day, the cutt is loosely based on YSL's 'Le Smoking Suit'.
Their usual 'Lou Lou' jeans are painted with the phosphorescent stripe in either pink, yellow or green; definitely one for the ravers! Its time to gather the girls, all buy a pair and make like a seventies disco troupe at studio 54!

Marion Cotillard as the Lady in new Dior short film - L.A.dy Dior

Marion Cotillard can do no wrong in my eyes! She is the epitome of a chic French woman encompassing all things strong, confident and feminine.
Like Lanvin that has come before, Dior's new fashion film is a satirical take on all things fashion.
(At 3 min the lady in the leopard hat reminds me of Patsy from Ab Fab)
I'm in two minds, its nice that they aren't taking themselves too seriously but it is quite long, Lanvin's was short, sparky and to the point.
See what you think:
