Wallis – The Perfect Transitional blouse
I think we would all agree that 2013 has been a brilliant summer. Lots and lots of warm days and sunny evenings, giving us ample opportunity to wear our summer wardrobe to full effect. But in the last week or so there have been signs that Autumn will soon be upon us. A few more drizzly days, temperatures dropping during the evenings, a bit of wind chill when playing football in the garden. All signs say it’s time to start thinking of that transitional wardrobe. I’ve been given the opportunity to review some pieces from Wallis, and I decided to look at items that would be perfect for the transition…

Some, in fact should’ve been canned before the star/starlet let the house. Here are a few of those looks that had me shaking my head and wondering WHY? 1. Salma Hayak in leather Gucci. Lets spell it out slowly and carefully. Salma – you – are – not – playing – Frida – Kahlo – anymore. So ditch JLO’s flowers and get back to the looks we know and love. 2.Faye Dunaway.

Theoni V Aldredge – The Great Gatsby and Laura Mars
Costume designer Theoni V Aldredge died last week. The name may not be instantly recognisable to 21st century audiences, but this lady was responsible for the fabulous costumes in some of the most stylish and iconic films of the 1970s, Network, The Rose, The Eyes of Laura Mars, and, most famously, The Great Gatsby. The 1974 version of the Great Gatsby was a beautiful failure.

But the costumes designed for this film are another story completely. Theoni V Aldredge was the designer of the stunning…
