Once upon a time there was Kenzo, a lovely schnoz and a winter palette

I’ve been absolutely loving nude-on-white for sometime now. But Lanvin does it so perfectly, I feel humbled. Also I want the every, single last one of the necklaces from this collection. Alber truly understands me like no other.

Me & Zena makes jewelry I like (and Vogue likes it too).

My brother bought me Tim Walker’s Pictures for my birthday (after I emailed him the above amazon link daily for 3 months). It is the most wonderful book EVER.

It will make you happy. FACT.

Burberry I love you…

… and your boys and your snoods and your fairisle cummerbund and your barbed wire bracelet and your lambskin cropped jacket and your…

awkward sandals and socks. I love them too.

When I’m an 80-year-old spinster I’m going to spend all the money other people wasted on children on buying books, cigarettes, single malt, theatre tickets and Burberry Prorsum. I’ll be a deeply unpleasant old woman, but I’ll be wearing overpriced cashmere cable knit to bed. So there.

London based Quentin Jones works as a painter, illustrator, animator and all round artiste extraordinaire. Quentin’s work reflects a keen interest in female imagery: from the glamourised form to the unsightly flesh. It is the kind of – often gruesome – art one would expect from a man (and yes, ‘Quentin’ as a name makes this even more plausible) (and yes I only linked man for that wonderful wiki picture of a ‘man’).

But Quentin is all woman (no wiki link, the picture is simply an ancient sculpture. BORING). For the past ten years Jones has worked as a model and her experiences in the form and figure obsessed fashion industry have clearly informed and influenced her work.

Yes, so Quentin is awesome. And I’m not the only one that thinks so. Her work is currently on display at Aubin & Wills (Jack Will’s cute offspring) in West London (until 1 November). Additionally, E. Tautz recently commissioned Quentin to compose a short animated film to showcase their Spring/Summer 2010 Collection – which was then presented at their Savile Row showroom. I tried to upload it but the file was too big so take a look on the Dazed&Confused site instead. It’s very English.

And finally,

I heart Quentin Jones.

Emmy fail exception

Aside from Dr Horrible, Sevs’ dress was about the only win.

Little Dorrit winning Best Miniseries over Generation Kill is just distressing, so I’m going to concentrate on this to try and get something positive out of the experience. She just looks so nice.

PS. STOP GIVING AWARDS TO TWO AND A HALF MEN.

I would wear this while carrying a highwayman’s pistol

More NYFW lust courtesy of V-Wang.

It’s raining outside and I am tired and miserable, so I’ll imagine that someone has just bought me this whole outfit and we’ll pretend for a minute that I can walk gracefully in heels, rather than like an amputee newborn foal.

Yes please…

… Derek Lam

… and yessss please Jason Wu.

I swear the purple dress is my imaginary dream film premiere dress from a few years ago come to life. I spend time thinking about these things because of all those film premieres that i go to. I need to be prepared. It’s quite Lanvin, no? I fucking love that colour.

I need everything here, even the super high waisted white trousers, which are clearly a terrible idea.
