hand on your hip if you're hot

What can I say other than the obvious? Let's just stick to the facts:

1. Dress is by Herve Leger
2. Shoes are Yves Saint Laurent Tribute Pumps
3. Event is the Victoria's Secret SWIM Collection Party, held on March 31
4. Yes, she's just had a baby and has a body like that
5. And yes, I am sick with envy

most iconic fashion ad of all time?

Apparently so.

The "Hello Boys" Wonderbra poster with Czech stunner Eva Herzigova, has been named the most iconic outdoor advertisement of all time, in a poll organised by the Outdoor Media trade body and voted on by the public. When first released in 1994, this ad was deemed so racy that it was accused of causing multiple car crashes. Scandalous!

goop gives us the new season basics

Moda Operandi’s Lauren Santo Domingo’s guide to this spring’s trends: 

 

1. STRIPES:
The ubiquitous sailor stripe is not going anywhere.
Stella McCartneystarted with a shift toward bigger,
bolder stripes last fall and Pradafirmly staked this
trend in fashion history. Big bold stripes in jarring
colors are the way to go, and the really daring will
wear stripes withother stripes, patterns and lots of
color. (P.S., get on this trend rightaway, because
NEXT season is all about the polka dot!)

2. CLUTCH:

The It-bag is now the Was-bag. Get out your dust
covers and store those big caryalls. The fashion
flock this season was tucking their cellphones,
Chanel lipsticks and fashion show invites into
minimalist clutches for day. The bold and the
beautiful are leaning towards clutches of similar
description. Celine is offering cobalt blue, yelllow
and orange. (Extra-credit: This Cobalt blue is THE
go-to color for Spring!) 

3. FULL SKIRT:
Worn by day, the long skirt—whether full or pleated
—is completely at ease anywhere. I like to see this
silhouette paired with flats; the juxtaposition of the
two make it a more casual and languid look. Wear
with an oversized blazer, a belted cardigan or even
a bomber jacket to complete the look. 

4. NEON:
Many fashion insiders compare all the Fashion
Weeks to a traveling circus....This season, the
colors definitely resemble the Big Top. This trend
is for the girl who does not want to wear the
ubiquitous camel this season, for the girl who
can just cross ‘minimalist’ off her to-do list ...
only she’ll use a highlighter to do so ... 

5. ACCESSORIES:
Costume jewelry is having a moment. It seems that
Coco Chanel’s old adage to “take one thing off before
you leave the house” has been replaced by "put every
thing on before you leave the house.” And please,
while you are at it, do break all the rules and mix big
and small. Gold and silver. Costume and fine.
House of Lavande and Eddie Borgo are great spots
for costume jewellery.

6. STATEMENT SANDALS:
Losing the platform is about as liberating as it gets.
This summer will mean a vacation from those turbo,
sky-high shoes that tortured feet for seasons past.
This spring, one can lean towards high heel sandals
with kick but without having to lean against something
for balance. What a novel idea!

 

7. RED LIPS:
Move over stains and gloss. Lipstick is having a
moment. Ditch your mother's lip liner, though. I
recommend you take some time to try out the best
shade for you. The red lip, like the girl who wears
them, are never boring. 

8. POWER SUITS:
Men’s suiting does not mean wearing neutrals and tweed
(although don’t get me wrong, that will never go out of
style) but this season’s suiting is more high  voltage.
Colourful pants and jackets are to be mixed and matched.

9. THROW ON SOME SHADES:
For me, nothing signals the start of spring more than
sunglasses! And if ever there was a season for sunnies
this is it. And anything goes .. .

ms miller likes style with her theatre

Sienna Miller seen making a stylish little exit from the Theatre Royal Haymarket in London. She's wearing the 'Blythe' military jacket from her own Twenty8Twelve collection, accompanied by a Louis Vuitton 'SC' suede bag. I honestly can't get enough of her hair. Creamy blonde colour perfection.

A pan that makes perfectly tiered cakes in miniature. What's not to love?! Available from Amazon.

diane wows in wu

Fashion designers dreamboat Diane Kruger and Jason Wu strike a pose together at Green Auction: A Bid To Save The Earth at Christie's in New York. The reason she's been photographed with him? Her dress, clutch and shoes are all from the Jason Wu Fall 2011 collection. Very nice indeed.

Geraldine is the assistant stylist of Emmanuelle Alt, new editor in chief of French Vogue. Sticking to her palette of black, navy, neutrals and the odd splash of red, her personal style is so goddamn cool that I literally yearn for every item she slips on her super-slim frame. Speaking of yearning, look at those pins. Lucky thing has legs for miles.

The good, the bad and the just plain ugly.

lesson in layerin'

Nicole Ritchie always works layering so well, in an effortless, 'oh I just threw it on' kinda way. Minus the stockings, scarf and jacket, this could easily work for warmer days. Love the floaty floral skirt and Givenchy Antigonia Bag.

electric and tripped out

RUSSH Magazine Issue 39 features an edgy yet elegant covergirl Jessica Stam shot by Will Davidson. Stam sports looks from Proenza and Australian label Lover together with customised and vintage pieces in a break from stylist Stevie Dance's trademark bohemia with refreshing results. I admittedly love anything that RUSSH puts out but really admire the new direction they've taken with this spread. Check out the rest of the shoot on the website.
