Dear Diary,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lFyTmQxgro&feature=fvst

Everything else is materialistic, hold onto who's around you.

Speak to me about love.

John Galliano has launched a new fragrance for 2010, Parlez-Moi d'Amour.



The new scent is aimed for a younger audience than his previous perfumes and has recruited Taylor Momsen as the face (the racoon-eyed, blonde wisp for GG and lead singer of The Pretty Reckless). Galliano has created a story around the perfume, it "tells of a young rock star who, after many gigs and concerts, finds herself lost in Berlin. Internet and other conveniences of modern age are not available, and she is forced to express her feelings on a piece of paper, writing a letter to a guy she just fell in love with.
" www.fragrantica.com



The top notes of the perfume are the smells that hit you first. These are Bergamot, Blueberry and Ginger, which give off a fruity smell.
The heart of the perfume is what is prominent when the scent dries. These are Rose and Jasmine, both of which are associated with a romantic feel.
The base notes are the smell that stays with you through the day, that lingering-lasting smell. They are Patchouli, Cypress and Musk.



Galliano says about his fragrance, “Taylor really embodies the spirit and soul of this new eau de toilette, which is aimed at a slightly younger market [than the signature John Galliano scent]. But you know, as with all true loves, age is not an issue.”



Priced at £49 for the 80ml and available exclusively in Harrods until Spring, then will be available in stores nationwide.

I've got mine, will you?

My Fabric Moment

Chiffon has always been a tricky option to have in one’s wardrobe, whether it’s the sheer price of the fabric or the actual sheerness.
Dating back to the Seventeenth Century where Croatian soldiers wore a uniform made of chiffon, lace and linen, the choice to incorporate chiffon was an unusual one. Yet it created a status which has since turned into the chiffon’s legacy. Formal and evening wear is largely associated with the material for it’s shimmer and floaty existence.
Back in 1997, the blockbuster Titanic hit the masses. And who can forget that iconic last scene, with that chiffon dress Rose wore as she escaped from the ship with Jack? Lately however, chiffon is becoming ever increasingly popular, and the A-list are picking up on the trend. Mrs Obama was seen last year at the inaugural ball wearing an asymmetric shoulder and white beaded chiffon gown designed for her especially by Jason Wu. It has since been donated to the Washington Smithsonian Museum as a part of First Lady history.
Along with the incorporation of chiffon designs in Anna Sui and Imitation’s collections for the S/S ’11 season, it doesn’t look like chiffon is going anywhere. Not bad for a fabric that’s name derives from the French for ‘rag’, is it?

Pearl and Ivy

But, low and behold, I've came across the ANSWER to the dilemma. Pearl and Ivy

Boot Camp

Alexander Wang had them for his A/W '10 collection and Burberry Prorsum included them for their S/S 10 collection (and we all know how popular Burberry Prorsum have been these past few seasons, ahem, aviator jackets)

I'm talking about the Chelsea Boot.

Burberry Prorsum

ASOS ALESHA

The shoe, deriving from the Victorian era, is back and in high demand. Church's, the leading shoemaker in high quality leather footwear since the 1800's is in overdrive after the recent exposure given to them from celebrities such as Claudia Schiffer and Kate Moss.



Thankfully for me though, there are any high street versions available, so you don't have to fork out a fortune...

Miss KG £95 ASOS -tan in colour and a warm cuff around the ankle. Perfect for winter!

Dr Martens £80 -universal black and chunky, suitable for the rock chick

These are my bargain pair, grey suede, £40, New Look. Also available in dark brown.
