Picture Perfect: Kate Moss by Mario Testino for VOGUE Paris

This is such a stunning shot of Kate Moss for VOGUE Paris (April '13 Issue), I mean look-at-her- it's like a picture straight from the archives of the 1940/50's. I always have a strong love for the classic pairing of Kate Moss and Mario Testino because the photographs they produce are always memorable and this one is no different. I could have featured all of the pictures fro this editorial but I just loved this one the most and wanted to feature it alone, obviously it deserves it! Enjoy.
Magnifique.

Love That Look: Miroslava Duma

Miroslava Duma is someone who's style I enjoy following, mainly because each time you see her she always makes it different than the last time. One day you could see her wearing something quite Avant-garde but then the next time it could be a simplistic and refined outfit and usually I love the more simple of her looks, but I always salute her for being creative and bold at other times. So this brings me to my point for this post, it's Mira in one of her more simple, but still as striking looks. I love every piece individually and even more as an outfit, I especially love her bright green Chanel Lego clutch which was one of the featured items in my Spring/Summer 2013 wish-list. There is nothing more to say other than this is a really stylish look and most importantly it looks comfortable, which is always good!

Shopping: Shoes- The Best In Stores For Spring Summer 2013

As Spring is technically upon us (even though the weather is saying different) and Summer is around the corner, I become more curious as to what shoes are in stores and online at the moment for the season ahead. So I decided to do a feature of my picks of the best shoes out there at the moment  for Spring/Summer and I kept everyone in mind and have done a mix of some designer and some more affordable. I always love when a new season falls upon us when we have seen all the designer collections months in advance that when the season finally begins- what elements and styles the high street stores have taken from those collections and how they have been modified to suit more affordable prices. Sometimes it is nice to find a lookalike product when you might not be able to afford the real thing at that moment in time and there are a few of my choices in this feature that I can see which designers the design have been influenced by. So for now I shall leave you to browse my selections, get your wish list at the ready (just in case!) and happy shopping!
