Met ball 2018

Divorce her from Carrie.

She is someone who would never be your friend in real life ok?

She is thin.

But she still looks like crap.

Madonna!

OMG she is looking so amazeballs.

Oh...There is Madonna over there.

Don't you dare say anything about JPG and Madonna 

because they are one of the folks that harks me back to the 90's when an intern giving the president a blow job was a huge deal and we were shook.

Good times.

But if there is no harking back to the haylcon 90's then 

the designer and the muse thing got old 

after Yves Saint Laurent did it with his muses until the 70's.

Doesn't Karlie Kloss have loads of friends?

Don't trust people like that.

This couple would be considered really alternative in their prom in Kansas but in New York, you are just another rich bitch with her gay financially subsidised friend.

Please tell them this didn't work out for the Beckhams in the 90's either.

Such a self aware - we are so in love - aren't you jealous?

But they are just so damn happy they didn't have to figure out what to eat for dinner.

Past it?

Bitch please.

 Your husband, boyfriend, and sister would still leave you for me.

New York is rough because you turn heads anywhere else but you are considered too fat in Manhattan and not one guy looks at you.

Spare me the outrage.

I ain't the New York Times.

Too easy.

How will this be explained in anthropology class in the year 2418?

When you doing yoga moves Level 23 after a month in an ashram.

When the enlightened guru does standing pose.

Another case of mistaken identity.

I thought the girl with wings

was the one below.

I can't tell if this is actually Solange 

or an ode to the siblings of celebrities episode in 

RuPaul's Drag Race.

Does anyone else think that if Irina Shayk wasn't doing her second beard gig with Bradley Cooper that George Clooney would have snapped her right up?

So boring when you are the 30th lady with a crown and a 30 foot train.

Anna is officially uncool.

How thirsty is she that her daughter become the liberal version of Ivanka?

Don't know who she is but she looks like Pete Burns.

Game of thrones extras wardrobe.

Met Ball for all the others - just another Sunday night for KK.

She really didn't make an effort did she.

Star of the night but don't know her name.

French Vogue June / July 2017 issue

Don't you love French labour laws?

No, I am not being sarcastic.

I am not talking about flooding motorways with turnips or burning tires to block tunnels.

I am referring to clumping June and July issues into one.

You gotta love that they take the life / work balance so seriously so people can get a proper summer holiday.

There is a lot of reclining going on here.

I always did find Helmut Newton a bit repetitive.

I like this picture in its simplicity.

I am always amused at Chanel branding sports equipment.

Can't wait for the Chanel kettle bells.

Pre-Berlin Wall workouts are very much in vogue aren't they?

This girl's tan lines are going to be messed up.

I guess this girl is using diamonds to intensify her tan instead of aluminium foil.

Weak picture composition here.

Neckline detracts from necklace, earrings in shade, 

bracelet cropped, and too many shadows.

Editor Alt loves the spread crotch shot with eyes looking up shot.

It's the upmarket fashionista version of catalogue model trying to catch a cab pose.

Giselle was the last of the first name supermodels.

Sorry but Cara Delevigne doesn't make the cut.

I remember her breakthrough editorial on Allure.

My Ladylike Clothing Staple for How I Wear My

 Regular readers know that I don't know OOTD ( outfit of the day) because I am a bore and I dress even more boringly. 

A side note is that my weight fluctuates 

like Oprah's during the 80's 

so I am limited in that I refuse to invest in bigger size clothing 

yet can't fit into half of my wardrobe.

I enjoy other's outfit posts however.

So in the spirit of not being a voyeur and to participate a bit more, 

I submitted a picture to

Jill's blog, Everything Just So in her monthly themed round up 

she does with Adrienne of A Rich Life in Wine Country.

This is one of my favourite items of clothing that I rely on certain occasions and I can't believe I nearly said no to this when my mother got it for me for Christmas nearly a decade ago. 

( I wanted a holiday hotel credit but she thought that was crazy.)

So click here for my reliable coat dress.

After you see the terrible lighting and the hapless pose you will understand why I don't do these more often!

Thanks for including me in the How I Wear My monthly edition!

French Vogue May 2017

A quick post to say hello and share a most beautiful editorial in the French May issue of Vogue.

This month's issue had an emphasis on weddings which is very unFrench to talk about - it is rather an Anglo obsession that has filtered through.

Vogue may know fashion but I say leave the wedding stuff to Martha and that ilk.

Did red riding hood bleach her clothes?

This girl looks like the drunken friend who turned up very Hugh Grant in Four Weddings and a Funeral and pinched the veil off the bride.

This is the Mad Hatter bride.

Wonder what the groom would wear to match?

Looks like Miss Favisham when she first got jilted.

The third marriage bride who just wants to dance on the day because she has done all the staged pictures last week.

Now this is the editorial that is stunning in every way.

Rumour has it that Mme Alt ( editor at large ) and Anastasia Barbieri are not best chums so she is a "contributing editor". But this fashion spread shows that Mme Barbieri is a superb talent.

It is a homage to the former Jaipur princess, Gayatri Devi, renown for her beauty.

The model looks very similar to the princess herself.

Perfection.

This just makes me finally want to go to India.

The polo player is the grandson of the princess, the present Maharaja of Jaipur.

I don't have a snarky thing to say.

I will even forgive this amateur Instagram filter business on the pic below.

My least favourite picture of the spread but it actually made me rest between flipping pages.

This picture is a bit Cartier summer polo match you see in magazines so was a little disappointed at the fashion director.

This lady can pull off a turban.

As you know, I have my own thoughts on turbans as fashion items.

Divine.

This fashion image must be doing wonders for the Indian tourism board.

The young maharajah is handsome and am sure the Middletons of Bombay are engineering every accidental introduction.

If you see me walking around with a sheer scarf over my head, please do indulge me.
