Fendi F/W 2010

The ad campaign for this collection is absolutely beautiful.
I've been for the past couple of months having a bit of a girl crush on Jessica Stam. But only recently have I actually been able to have a little search around for her modelling work, what with my massive work load (which I should be doing right now but I am far too worn out).
She's just unbelievably pretty.
I would looooove to be her.

I love the reflection in the glasses in this image. Such a contrast to the smoke and grey around her. Reminds me of Versailles (the reflection I mean).

This dress strangely reminds of one of the dresses from Alexander McQueen's Fall/Winter 2010 collection, this is probably because all I have on the brain is Alexander McQueen as of the past three weeks.

Also just to add to the beauty of these shoots, is that it is by the amazing Karl Lagerfeld.
Nom nom nom.

On a completely other note what is up with facebook these days?
Totally acting up all the time. Saying people are offline when they are not. Telling me I have a notification about a thousand times for something I haven't got!
Gah!
Sort yourself out!

Anyway bed time for the tired.

Listening to Ellie Goulding's cover of Temper Trap's Sweet Disposition in the Live Lounge.

i'm obsessed with this mess that's america.

I can't stop dreaming of being Lily Allen.

What have I done today?
Not much...
Watched a programme about Alexander McQueen - twice.
Read about Fashion Psychology.
Wrote a letter.
Viewed two houses.
Dreamed about being Lily Allen.
Made apple crumble.

Not a very productive day to be quite honest.

Now I shall force myself to go to sleep with obsessive thoughts of Alexander McQueen.
*sigh*

ps. Listening to the whirring of someone else's extractor fan really isn't particularly entertaining.

Bonjour!

So I'm back from Pareeeeeeeees!

Had a few surprises on the way to and in Paris :)

Bumped into Henry Holland on our Eurostar!

Clearly I don't make a very good Paprazzi but I really didn't want to come off COMPLETELY stalkerish.

Even though I did start shaking with excitement at the fact that we were going to be on the same Eurostar as him. And we did sit near him whilst waiting to board... and I walked in front of him when we got in to Gare du Nord in Paris. Love.

I sadly didn't have the guts to talk to him. I felt stupid because I was wearing his boots and I felt like a complete and utter gay. Tbqh.

I regret it now but hey. I always fear people are just going to be really rude to me.

It's the whole meeting your idols thing and them being rude to you which makes you dislike them. Don't want to ruin my view of him. Not saying he's horribe, just that he might not like me.

Although thanks to Grazia magazine on the Eurostar he watches Will and Grace (and has the boxset) just like me. Destiny!

Anyway... Paris!

It was so good to step back on to Parisian soil. Oh it's like coming home. Hearing the french talking all around me, seeing the french buildings, smelling the usual smell of roasting chestnuts on every corner, reminds me of Christmas times when my parents used to take me up to Paris to see the windows in Printemps and Galerie Lafayette. The memories came flooding back! Going in to Monoprix and remembering Mum buying me my first sunglasses of choice which had three little cats along the arms. Finding metro tickets in all the pockets of my clothes, remembering how angry Mum used to get when I forgot they were in my pockets and after washing my clothes finding them all crumpled up and smushed in the pockets.

It also reminded me of how rusty my french is getting! But brought a few words back to me.

We only spent three days in Paris but it felt like a week. We did so much!

My favourite part? (Not just seeing Henry Holland on the train)

Seeing Karl Lagerfeld walk into Chanel on Rue Cambon!

Even if it was just the back of his head. I don't care. It's made my day!

Next year I am sitting outside Chanel forever just to see his face!

Anyway I am crazy tired right now.

Think I might watch a film before bed time. Hopefully post some Paris photos tomorrow.

The black and white films will have to wait to be developed.

Au revoir!
