Garance Doré - Pardon My French...
As you may have guessed by now, I have a serious girl crush on Miss Dore. Here she is with her penultimate 'Pardon my French' video in which she hangs out with Corinne Bailey Rae and shoe queen Charlotte Olympia.

Blog Crush....
Stumbled across an amazing blog through Twitter yesterday and just had to share. 'My Marrakesh' is written by Maryam who along with her husband, amongst many, many other projects, designed and built Peacock Pavilions - a boutique guesthouse outside of Marrakesh.
Below are some pictures of their gorgeous Moroccan home which was recently featured in 'Elle Decor'.

Garance Doré - Pardon My French...
So Garance is back again and this time with two more of my heroines of fashion. First up she's hanging with Emmanuelle Alt - my all-time queen of laid back chic and next with Isabel Marant.
Crikey I want her life....

Outfit Love...
Zadig & Voltaire T-shirt £80, Paul & Joe Sister jeans £130, Maison Martin Margiela bag £855 (ouch!), Acne sandals £240
I was casually browsing the new arrivals at Net-A-Porter and dreaming of a lottery win when I spotted this gorgeous outfit. As you may have gathered from my previous posts, I'm not really one for pastels but, as Miss Zoe would say, I saw this and went 'ba-na-nas'.
It's perfect for summer (if we have one) and with a few additions (below) could be warmed up for spring....
Ankle boot with zip Zara £49.99
Dark blue drape front leather jacket River Island £140

Isabel Marant AW 2012
There's not a Fashion Week goes by, that I don't wait with baited breath for the Isabel Marant show. She may not be breaking new ground, but you can guarantee that every piece will be a best seller and seen regularly on the likes of Emmanuelle Alt et al. This season she sticks with the Americana theme with a nod to the sparkly Nudie suits that popular country stars started wearing way back in the 50s.

The Flying Burrito Bros and especially Gram Parsons were keen Nudie suit wearers.

Scandi chic...
It all started with 'The Killing' early last year and then 'Borgen' this year - suddenly everyone was obsessed with all things Scandinavian. It wasn't just the whodunit that had everyone talking on Twitter, but the light fittings, window shelves and wooly jumpers. I'm certainly hooked - from reading the latest Jo Nesbo to lusting after Scandi lamp shades. Here's a few of my fave interior looks inspiring me at the moment...

laid back chic at the Oscars...kinda
Though 'The Artist' may have been the star of the show last night, the evening really belonged to the supremely talented Meryl Streep. She looked stunning in Lanvin (for the Green Carpet Challenge) and gave a moving and heartfelt speech that had many shedding a tear.
Favourite Oscar Outfits
Meryl Streep in Lanvin
Gwyneth Paltrow in Tom Ford
There was much hoo-ha on Twitter around this outfit but I thought she looked amazing.
Octavia Spencer in Tadashi Shoji.Octavia looked stunning and gave a very warm and tearful speech.
Glenn Close in Zac Posen
Love, love, love this woman and this dress and blazer are gorgeous. Oh to look like this at 64!
'Not so much' Outfits
Sandra Bullock in Marchesa.
Normally I won't hear a word said against this woman and I wish she was my best friend forever BUT the dress does nothing for me. Gorgeous from the back but the front is saggy and shapeless. I still love you Sandy.
Natalie Portman in vintage Dior.
It may be vintage but she looks like a jar of tomato sauce. Sorry, not a fan of the dress or indeed her acting.
Best looking couple on the red carpet. Gary Oldman - Grrrrr yum!
