Léa Seydoux

Photo from Garance Doré

I think Léa Seydoux has one of the most beautiful and unique faces of any actress in the world right now. I love her natural, low-key makeup and relaxed personal style that the French seem to do so well. She’s definitely my style inspiration of the moment.

The only unfortunate thing is that she makes me want a thick, blunt fringe. Sadly, my hair is too thin and fine to achieve such a look. Damn you Léa and Zooey!

Beautiful even with very little makeup (left).

A few examples of Léa’s great personal style:

Wooden Heels

I’m mildly obsessed with wooden heels and platforms. So when I spotted these in Sportsgirl, I pretty much fell in love. I just wish they were taller. The leather on them is buttery soft and gorgeous. They remind me a little of a low-key version of these Martin Margiela clogs, which I also love:

Blue-Green Polish


Kristen Stewart’s nail polish at MTV Movie Awards.

I was obsessed with this nailpolish colour from the moment I saw it. It doesn’t happen often for me, because I’m not really a nailpolish person. Last time a certain shade of nailpolish had this kind of affect over me, it was the taupe colour from Chanel’s SS10 runway.

I had been searching for longer than I care to admit and China Glaze for Audrey seems to be the closest match:

It’s available at 8ty8beauty.com, transdesign.com and head2toebeauty.com.

Peter Alexander, Winter


Did someone say Onesie?

I feel like my pajama obsession has been mentioned a few too many times on this blog. None the less, I have to comment on the latest Peter Alexander catalogue – it pretty much screams adorable. I’m not usually a fan of winter pajamas, but with Brisbane nights gradually cooling down, I can’t help but think how warm and cosy I’d be snuggling up in a pair of these PA’s.

What do you think of the winter collection?

Details at Burberry

Burberry Prorsum was absolutely one of my favourite shows from AW 2010/11. I love that Burberry has a defined aesthetic, yet still finds away to be original and exciting with each new collection. I think it’s a testament to the quality and longevity of the brand.

I’m in love with this blazer. Amazing.


Loving the stylised proportions of this outfit.

Alexa Chung, front row at Chanel AW10

I’m often equally as interested in what people wear to major fashion shows as I am about the designer’s collections. I loved this outfit from Alexa Chung until I saw the jacket and weird biker-short things (which you can’t really see in these pictures). What do you think?

Don’t throw away your spotted tights just yet!

Clémence Poésy at Paris Fashion Week


Here’s Clémence Poésy looking pratically perfect at the Autumn/Winter Lanvin show in Paris.


Love the jacket and shoes.


Arriving at Balenciaga. Love the hat, not crazy about the rest.

Lydia Hearst, Oscars After Party

Model and New York Socialite Lydia Hearst at Elton John’s Oscar after-party.

The beading detail on this dress is absolutely stunning, and I love how pale and flawless her skin is. Though, to be honest, I think this dress would look nicer on someone with more curves. It’s looking a little awkward around her hips, in my opinion, but she pulls it off.


Her bold, classic makeup is contrasting beautifully with her pale skin. But I feel like her blush could be more subtle.

Sass and Bide AW10

Those silk (I’m assuming) striped pants are genius. They’re such a perfect combination with the structured jacket and beaded shoulders; a little bit kooky but still totally elegant and chic. Must have.

I think they’d also look great as little striped shorts. Maybe I’ll try this out with some striped silk pajama shorts – I think there’s total potential there for them to look dressy, or at least acceptable as out-wear.

Love the dress on the right; so wearable and cute. But I’m not so sure that plain black jeans belong in fashion week. I don’t know, not convinced.
