Vintage Sunday - THE Oscar gown

Anticipation is mounting for tonight's Oscars and for many it's not about who wins what, but who wears whom! The Oscars are the ultimate dress-up event and I, like many others, can't wait to see all the beautiful gowns the stunning actresses will wear. We have seen so many gorgeous dresses in the past, but the one that somehow stands out for me was worn by Grace Kelly made by Edith Head in 1955, when she won her award. It was beautifully made, didn't need much accessories and Grace Kelly looked amazing in it. What is your memorable Oscar gown?
Have a stylish day.

Fashion politics - by Michelle Obama

When Barack Obama was voted the first black president it was a massive change for the world of politics. Little did we know his wife would have a huge impact in the world as well. His speech about change was very appropriate for more than the obvious reasons. Ever since the inaugural ball, and Michelle Obama stepping out in THAT gown by Jason Wu, the world of fashion suspected maybe the change wouldn't only happen in politics.
Michelle Obama knows how to dress. It's been a while since people were so interested what the First lady would wear. Probably not since Grace Kelly, the princess of Monaco, who's to this day seen as a style icon, would the First Woman of state cause headlines of her own and even appear on a cover of Vogue! But people can't get enough of Michelle Obama. There is more that meets the eye, but today we're talking about here style. And great style she's got! With nice womanly figure it makes the choices easier. She often wears well fitted shift dresses that suit her so well. And thanks to her skin colour she can be mire bold with her colour choices and she's making the most of it. Expect the lot: yellows, greens, reds, purples.. She wears it all with grace and looks great. She shows women that you can have fun with 'workwear'. There are certain politics in fashion and Michelle is a proof there can be fashion in politics. Other First Ladies should take notice! Hers is a way how to look glamorous and present your state well at the same time.
Have a stylish day.

A day in a museum


As I said before, I like visiting museums, to soak in some culture and get inspired. There is such a great selection of museum and galleries in London, that the possibilities are endless. My favourite one is Victoria and Albert Museum, which I have visited again recently. I went to see the Grace Kelly exhibition I told you about before, and also the jewellery section on 2nd floor. It's a must see for every fashionista! They've got amazing selection of accessories dating back to ancient times and up to present. It's breath taking watching what people wore in the past and how the trends change. It's so so inspiring. Here are few of my favourite pieces. As you may know I am a big fan of statement necklaces.. Stunning!
Have a stylish day.

Back in November, I told you about an exhibition, I was very excited about. The time has come and I'm here to remind you, that the Grace Kelly: Style Icon has a member's preview today, starts for public tomorrow and is open until September 26. I can't wait to check it out. If you go let me know how you liked it and expect a report from me as well(especially for those who can't attend.)
Have a stylish day.

Style with Grace


I believe that everyone who loves fashion has an icon whose style they admire and use them as an inspiration. Some icons may come and go but there are few who will always be on our radar for timeless chic and unforgetable fashion moments. One of such people is Grace Kelly. Famous since her acting days and as a Princess Grace of Monaco, that woman knew how to dress! So much so that a Hermes bag she loved to carry has been name after her - The Kelly bag. Who wouldn't love to own one? Victoria Beckham is rumoured to have a collection of them worth £ 2 million, including some limited and very rare editions. If you can't afford one, at least you can have a look at the original piece as it is going to be shown at the V&A. My favourite museum is holding an exhibition called GRACE KELLY STYLE: FASHION FOR A HOLLYWOOD PRINCESS from 17 April to 26 September 2010. I know it's still a long time to go but I bet it will be worth the wait. There will be other things on display, including the gown she wore to accept her Oscar award in 1955, her wedding dress and couture gowns from popular couturiers. I can't wait to see it all and will remind you nearer the time as this is an exhibition not to be missed!!!
