My love/hate for Rodarte.
I’m in love/hate for Rodarte. I really don’t know whether I love the designs, or hate them. At their most creative the Rodarte sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy conjure up designs that can be described as beautiful, ethereal, wispy, ghostlike, and truly stunning. You imagine tragic heroines like Ophelia, Juliet, Camille and Mimi from La Boheme experiencing glamorous suffering in Rodarte. Rodarte would’ve been the designers of choice for those lost generation divas Zelda Sayre and Lady Otterline Morrell. D W Griffiths would’ve used their costumes to clothe Lilian Gish in all those fab silent weepies like ‘The Wind’. Rodarte is truly beautiful… But then I get to thinking again…

Style Icons – Kiera Knightley
I love Kiera Knightley style. She has such an incredible sense of fashion and was absolutely top of the list when it came to looking at style icons who have impressed and truly made their mark. Kiera Knightley style is always impeccable, from head to toe, and I love the fact that she often opts for looks that are incredibly demure – a real stand out in our days of skin and beads looks from the likes of Rihanna and Miley. In a similar way to Felicity Jones who I wrote about yesterday, Kiera Knightley style often takes its cues from styles and icons from the past. Bias cut satin…

Toronto Film Festival – Best Looks
The Toronto film festival is one of those that often falls off my radar, but not this year. It seems that every day I have been gasping over one celebrity outfit or another. To put it quite simply, some of Hollywood’s finest are in Canada promoting upcoming films, and pulling all the stops out when it comes to choosing their outfits. Kiera Knightley has been on a roll, wearing one stunning dress after another. I’ve chosen a couple of my favourites here, but every single dress has been just beautiful. Another Brit girl, Felicity Jones, continues to show why I mentioned her as one to watch stylewise. With a nod…

Style Classic – Hunter Wellies
There are some things in your wardrobe that can be classified as ‘style classics’. The crisp white shirt, a beige trenchcoat, the little black dress, you can probably name a few others. And when it comes to Wellington boots, only one brand really deserves to be labelled as classic, and that has got to be Hunter. I’m not sure why Hunter Wellies have this cachet rather than other brands. British made and sturdy, these boots are the epitome of cool, being loved by everyone, from the festival going crowds wading through the mud at Glastonbury, to the country set who wear them on long, rambling walks through the English Countryside,…

Kiera Knightley’s wedding – Rock and Roll Prom Style
Kiera Knightley got married this weekend, and I have to say how much I loved her whole look. Apparently recycling a Rodarte dress that she first wore a few years ago, and adding a Chanel jacket, pretty ballerina pumps and a chain of delicate flowers to her hair, she epitomised the cool and casual, low-key bride – and looked just wonderful. I love so much about Kiera’s wedding style. In the days when excess is the norm (Kardashian’s anyone?), to see a bride looking so fresh and pretty is just so refreshing. Add in the fact that Kiera recycled an admittedly beautiful dress, and then slipped on a pair of…
