flutter

appropriateness go hand in hand and champagne in the sun mixes quickly!

Daria Werbowy: Canadian Amazon

June 15th 2007 00:07
Daria Werbowy
From Dariawerbowy.org


Pictured here all fresh faced and delightful is Daria Werbowy of Canada. Werbowy, like Jessica Stam, passes my knee test (if the thigh is wider than the knee then the model is not sick) and not only that but she exhibits an intelligence one may not expect from models. Maybe she’s simply learned to feign intent with those blue eyes of hers, or perhaps I’m prejudiced because she’s brunette but I do think there’s something more in Werbowy’s brain than is usually held in the mind of a model

From photobucket.com


Although Coco Chanel was really the first to bring the black dress into the everyday wardrobe of the modern woman, its place was indeed cemented with Hepburn’s appearance in Givenchy during Breakfast at Tiffany (see Sisi's post) last year for more on that dress

Darling Natalie Portman

June 4th 2007 12:21
Recent Psychology graduate and general cutie-pie Natalie Portman has made the remarkable transition from child actor to adult star, in the non-pornographic sense, and astute style siren. With a particularly petite body and despite some onerous comparisons to Audrey Hepburn - no one needs that hanging over them - she has done rather well for herself.

Do the Cannes, cannes

Zhang Ziyi looking great... again
From Vogue.com


Corny title aside, I love Cannes fashion. All of a sudden due to it's French location, the red carpet set decides to try for real style and elegance of the sort not appropriately appreciated in the US and elsewhere. I've been a fan of Zhang Ziyi's red carpet choices for some time and this ensemble reaffirms it. Looking a little outrageous and a lot glamorous, her petite figure is dramatised in this tuxedo-style sartorial statement
