Top Hat

Balmy weather and straw hats go together like Beyonce and bodysuits, so it is more than appropriate to see a few headpieces contsructed from humble straw come the Resort collections. Oscar did a boater, Erin Fetherston went for wide-brim, but which ones did you lust after? Here are my faves.

Sweet, chic with a vintagey feel. Jason Wu shows us why he doesn't do casual.

Chanel does it like no other. Jacquetta Wheeler barefoot, all-in-white with a swagger inducing hat.

Erin Featherston's modern take on the straw hat makes for a very glossy hipster.

Oscar De La Renta gives the classic boater a twist with an oversize bow. Sweet!

The only way to wear a tattoo...

I think Freja Beha Erichsen started the tattoo fixation for the fashionista, all fashion month I haven't been able to stop myself from spotting all her tattoos whether she's been decked out in the chicest Oscar De La Renta or aviation inspired Burberry. So with tattoos becoming chic in fashion Chanel have finally launched their transfer tattoo collection that debuted at the "Hoe-down" Spring/Summer 2010 show and is now available to buy at Selfridges. I got my very own preview of one of the designs from a lovely Chanel make-up girl.

So hot. Will you be transferring some double linked C's on to your skin?

The Joy of Trompe l'oeil

The season of autumn/winter always evokes an obsession with quirky yet cool hosiery and lucky for us there seems to be a serious abundance of them. Last winter it was all about the death of the fishnet and the rise of the coloured high denier opaque, whether it was in shocking pink or marl grey. In stark contrast this season is sexing up hosiery (thanks to who else but Kaiser Karl?) Who has done a witty take on the stocking/hold-up with a daringly sexy collection of Chanel tights. Who couldn't love these Trompe l'oeil cuties? They are infinitely more flattering and wearable than a true stocking...Don't you think? Style them with a defiantly short, but long sleeved black shift to ensure plenty of double-takes.
