Of course I downloaded it!

Of course I downloaded it (for you!) - the American Vogue App. Let's see how we get on, it's a bit like a first date. OK, we fancy each other, but are we compatible in the long term?… Well it's definitely not as interesting as “The Business of Fashion”. It delivers, but in a soft, squashy sort of way. A million stories of Supers In Denim won't rock any boats and they even have Ashley Graham wearing denim (for the Plus sizes) helping them to decode denim. Really?!… They covered the Met Ball (to be expected) Alicia Vikander in custom Vuitton and boots. My best dressed? KKW looking obvious. Obviously. SJP also looked good in a white knickerbocker suit…

Do three Rodarte equal two Luis Vuitton?

Do you remember me saying a few weeks ago that I thought something was missing at American Vogue as well (it all comes from the top). The Daily Mail has done it again! Fiona McIntosh just wrote a piece on The Met Ball titled "The Night Fashion Died”. If this paper were in New York I would be very concerned. To sum it up, she's accusing Anna Wintour of selling out to celebrity. And friends, I think she's right (the AV App demonstrates this). This year was really a spectacle to trash! And I'm not sure why. If this wave carries on, I feel Ms Wintour will soon be replaced…

Cuba. Have you visited, Darharling?! It's the place to see and be seen! After President Obama, the Rolling Stones, we now have Chanel. King Karl hosted his latest pre-Fall show there.

Cuba's new Minister of Tourism - King Karl!

This next statement is a bit of a surprise to me. I liked it (well most of it). I thought it very well styled, pretty, light and I'd like to wear it! There - I said it!! The dresses were just perfect with the length and the flat sandals or shoes. The chiffon and prints seemed touched by a very light hand and I could definitely see myself in many of the designs. So this tough act to follow just got tougher.

Could these be found in my wardrobe soon?...

I had my roots done last week. Nothing unusual there then - it happens every 5-6 weeks. But this time I came out not blonde, but degradè pink/pale violet. Opalescent and I love it! The red nails had to go... No biggie there! Back to nude - better for the look. A light (spray) tan and I'm wearing colours I've not worn for ages. Yesterday I wore a pale blue cashmere jumper. Years since it's seen light! And one other thing is I've stopped wearing my earrings! This is a first for years and years. They just don't seem to go... Too bright! But my pearl necklace is having a moment!

Coming to a Lunch or Gala near you soon!

Life is getting very busy at the moment. May 17 is looming very large on my horizon - every day getting closer. One speech down and one to go - so far, so good. But it seems friends, I've inadvertently stumbled on a problem (only First World, so don't fret!) As you can imagine, I decided what to wear for my lunch and dinner weeks ago, and for the BFAMI lunch I was to wear my new Dior ankle strap shoes, which I've been wearing a lot. But (there's always a but) these shoes are a minimum wear… 2, 2 1/2 hours top, and then my feet have to rest for a good while (read: 12-15 hours). Which is no good when one has to wear high heels in the evening as well! Am I missing a trick? I saw a woman yesterday in high heels that from the look on her face were as comfortable as slippers. I'm looking at my feet now… They’re not swollen or blistered. Maybe they need a firm hand to show them who's boss? I can do it, I know I can! I have heard that women are using Botox on their feet... Ummm, not sure but maybe under the threat of needles, they'll behave and my shoe (making it an outfit) problem will be solved! Will keep you posted…

It's a choice...

The sun has begun to shine, enjoy Spring this weekend and always remember - pack your Compeed in your handbag and then you’re good to go!

Happy Shopping
