Lucky Louis

In another excellent runway-to-high-street move, ASOS has produced this beauty as an 'homage' to Louis Vuitton. This is either an excellent pick for a Spring wedding I have lined up, or a terribly cliched choice, and one that I've based entirely on my new-found and predictable love of Mad Men. Discuss. Should one dare to be different at a wedding? I tried that last year with a Kate Moss maxi, and I'm not sure how well it worked. It's a thinker...

Anyone else find this ASOS ring a bit, ahem, derivative? Nice work team.

Hell for leather


Girls, this baby is half price today in the Toppers Flash Sale. It's sold out in both my sizes, so someone else has to buy it instead. I know, I know, it's the wrong time to be buying leather. But our summers last mere days anyway and this is an investment!
PS - can someone tell me whether they can see my links? I can't work out how to make them visible!

On Rockie ground

 This week's excellent weather (lessons outside anyone?) gave me my first opportunity to crack out my Topshop Rockies. I am in love with these. If they don't need reheeling at least twice this summer I'll eat my sun hat. (PS - my nail polish was NOT chipped in these pics - heaven forfend - it's the light.)
Hope everyone's enjoying Spring - I'm off for my first Starbucks Mango and Passionfruit frap of 2011.

Elizabeth Taylor brows out

My obsession with eyebrows has graced these pages before, so I was sad to learn the owner of the best in the business - Dame Elizabeth Taylor - is off to that big beauty parlour in the sky. This image from the archives of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof shows Liz at her very sultry best. What a fox.
