Lovely in lilac

Long live Luella!
I can't help feeling a little down wearing this dress. Despite the fact that the sun is shining it's heart out and I don't have to write a book today I can't shake off the slight feeling of despair that Luella is no more. Paws crossed she will get some new backers soon!

...and onto yet more sweetness. Check out these fantastic cakes inspired by little old me made by fan Alia Roslan and written about on her blog 'of my stilettos and spatula'. I have often thought of myself as being sweet as sugar and now here I am immortalized forever in fondant!

Luella - yummy

Prada - Mmmmm

Cynthia Rowley - chomp chomp

Kate Moss for Topshop - scrumptious

Valentino - scoff scoff


Moschino - munch munch

Oh and for anyone interested you can pre-order my book now on amazon. You won't be disappointed, as well as loads of fantastic style tips and advice it is packed full of delicious new drawings!

Bow Wow

Wednesday
I did a spot of vintage furniture shopping at Camden passage today for my London town house. I got a gorgeous Eames modernist rocking chair in pale mint and a giant light up F for fifi that was reclaimed from an old cinema sign. It’s almost as tall as me! I’m so excited though Sonny was not to pleased when I asked him to lug it up and down my stairs – twice. I just couldn’t decide where to put it. I said I would take him out for dinner to say thank you. Secretly though it’s just an excuse to wear my new Luella dress. Stella has a matching bow tie collar isn’t it darling.

By the way whilst I've been entertaining myself in London I've sent my faithful PA to the NY shows for me. She's sending me regular updates and so far I am loving both Marc Jacobs and his younger Marc by Marc Jacobs lines. full on colour madness and theatrical loveliness. I declare him a genius!



see you tomorrow

loving luella


I've been so busy that I have been neglecting you guys. I know how much you need your daily fix of my stunning wardrobe. It's not been any fun for me either so today I have donned a little of my favorite Luella to cheer me up. Now I just need to keep my paws crossed that the weather is going to cheer up for this weekend. Exciting things happening. I'll tell you all about it next week, I promise!

have a fabulous weekend

a week in the life of...

Well today I am doing a little modeling for Little Thing Magazine and that has reminded me that I didn't show you guys the last shoot.
It was 'a week in the life of' so I gave them a week of diary entries and modeled what I had worn that week in the studio. It just so happened that I had chosen all the colors of spring as I was determined to combat all the gloom and doom that's been going around. We used coordinating backgrounds to create a whole rainbow of loveliness...

First up was this vibrant green coat perfect for those transition days when you can't figure out what the weathers doing.

monday
I'm having a slow day today, you know the sort of thing, lounging around in my pyjamas (Chanel of course) with my puppy Stella, eating crumpets, drinking hot tea and watching Breakfast at Tiffanys for the umpteenth time, I never tire of Audreys sweet face. Later I'm meeting my mum to have a pedicure, my paws are killing me from our ski-ing trip in St Moritz last week, I must find a more comfy pair of ski boots, the trouble is mine are just so stylish I have to put up with the pain. While I'm on the subject it's so hard to pull off the Russian princess look when your faced with puffa jackets and padded trousers I tend to follow Kate Moss's example and go for a Prada fur-trimmed jumpsuit - though mine is specially made with fake fur naturally. Hanging on the wardrobe is my new Ossie Clark grass green coat. Luckily for my mother I really want to wear it and so it's probably the only reason I'm actually going to be able to get dressed today!


Next I wore this little D&G number that I am planning on wearing on my summer hols. I might loose the fishnets though. They might give me a very strange tan!

tuesday
I've been visiting the showrooms today, picking out some extra bits and bobs to add to my growing summer wardrobe. I'm so excited about summer and finally getting to wear all the amazing clothes from the spring summer 09 collections. I have been drooling over them for long enough. As well as a very cute D&G ensemble I chose a gorgeous Chloe 'saskia' bag with vibrant green handles few pairs of great sunglasses, now I just need the sun to come out to wear them. Unlike some celebrities I'm not very good at wearing them in the evening. I just keep tripping over!


Next up was Marc by Marc Jacobs.

wednesday
Today I introduced my best friend Ruby Gatta on my blog. She's a cute cat and descended from a generations old italian family which means she makes the best pasta sauce you've ever tasted and has the stylish gene - just like me! Here's a picture of us together wearing more Chloe - It's a joint obsession we have. We grew up together as our mums were best friends too and I've always been able to depend on her, she is just the best and will always tell me if my bum looks big in something. Only true friends can be that truthful. We're going out for lunch today and I've taken the whole morning to work out what to wear. There are clothes, shoes and bags everywhere. My apartment looks like it's been burgled! I have finally settled on a gorgeous Marc by Marc Jacobs dress and cutely styled denim jacket, I fell in love with this whole collection, it's so young and fresh.


Here I am wearing Mulberry. I really adore the combination of blackcurrant and mustard.

thursday
lunch with Ruby was lovely, I wore Mulberry and we went to Selfridges. I had carrot and cucumber sandwiches and herbal lettuce tea and Ruby had tuna fish sandwiches and a glass of milk. Luckily the maitre d' knows us quite well because what we wanted wasn't actually on the menu but Daddy practically owns our usual table, he's in there so much, so they made an exception. Afterwards we did what we do best - shopping! Ruby bought a gorgeous aqua Fendi belt with the birthday money I had given her and I bought myself the most gorgeous dark purple suede Christian Louboutin shoes with the trademark red soles. What a gorgeous colour combination.


Of Course no lineup of my favorites would be complete without Luella and this collection was definitely the most cheerful of the season.

friday
I am having a serious rainbow moment today I wore a lovely Luella ensemble, all in shades of shocking orange and pink. Luella has to be one of my all time favorite designers, I had such a great time at her last show, walking down the serpentine in the sun with the rest of the fashion pack all in skyscraper heels to be met by Luella girls handing out pink balloons and pink meringue pigs she makes everything so much fun!


With it's huge bouncy skirt this Lemon Giambattista Valli dress is perfect for dancing in so I ended up spinning around the studio sending Stella chasing at my heels barking and yelping - I very nearly knocked over the refreshments table!

Friday Continued
This evening I've donned an amazing yellow Giambattista Valli dress to meet Sonny (my boy) we're going jiving. It's all the rage in London at the moment and so much fun. Though I have to watch how much champagne I drink because it doesn't mix too well with the being thrown around the dancefloor... wish me luck!


Hope you enjoyed the shoot as much as I did

MORE LUELLA SWEETIE


Wow, The wind is biting today, lucky I've got my Luella ensemble to keep my chops toasty warm. These gorgeous shoes aren't too practical though, I nearly took a tumble as I ran for the bus today, whoops!


A couple of nice things happened today, firstly I received two issues of little thing magazine all the way from China (thanks Timmy). I've been featured right in the centre spread with a little interview and lots of pics, I'll scan it in soon so you can all see.

And secondly a little collab with Little Fashion Gallery came out. A gorgeous online store selling designer togs for sprogs - I needed that when I was little! I'm in their latest fashion book you can take a closer look here... (I'm a few pages in)


keep smiling!

HELLO STRANGER


Hello all, long time no see! well I hope you all had a truly scrumptious Christmas and New Year, mine was rather fun and festive we had all the family at my parents house in the country (I discovered cousins I didn't know existed!) we had a huge roast carrot from Mr Magregors organic orchard inc. Dad bought it at the Christmas fete after it won the largest vegetable growing competition and it was as tasty as it was massive! we had the usual family arguments, mum embarrassed me in front of Sonny by showing him the whole family album complete with nuddy pics of me as a kid (cue lots of rolling eyes) and Granny got drunk and embarrassed us in front of the neighbours who had popped in for an eggnog. pretty normal all in all.

For New Year I went ski-ing with my family and my best friend Ruby's family. Our families have been friends for generations so it was great fun, I'll see if I can get some pics for you to see soon... though they will definitely be filtered, there are far to many of me on my bum - legs in the air!


I'm really getting excited about the new Spring Summer collections and some has even started to seep into my wardrobe thanks to all the ordering I did at the shows last season but it's just too cold as yet to start wearing any so I've been consoling myself with a whole load of autumn winter Luella. I've decided to kick start my blogging with a week of Luella and if you'd like to join in here's a few sale items that might tempt you! ...my darling dress is even there!

I HEART LUELLA


Oh my goodness Luella you can do no wrong!
Just check out these gorgeous examples from her latest spring summer 09 collection. The randomness of being given a pink balloon and a meringue pig as we entered the show can only make me love it more! Today I am wearing her most witchy outfit from this fall season in honour of her greatness. Rock on Luella, we salute you!
