I can’t help but have the song ‘Tangerine’ by Led Zeppelin playing in my head when I look at these pictures. Winter doesn’t have to be so dull after all.

I turn 21 tomorrow (I still feel like I’m 16 years old). It’s going to be one eventful week!

sushi. movies. conversation. late mornings. origin coffee. friends. helicopters. photo’s. new shoes. ships. family time. food. late nights. shopping. gifts. cricket. fun. gin & tonic. swimming. more family time. more food.

I’m a huge fan of Victoria Beckham. I used to dress up as Posh Spice, collect posters of her, read every single book about her, etc.

All of that aside though, I love this collection. I’d wear every single piece. Victoria is really proving herself as a designer. Bravo!

Yesterday afternoon, after a really long day, I decided to relax a bit and catch up on all the couture shows. I loved Christian Dior, probably because of the 50’s inspiration – court shoes, pencil skirts, waistbelts etc.

For a couture show I find it’s very wearable…which is good in a sense…but don’t we all want to see the fantasy in the couture? Garments we’ll never wear but love to look at? Although if I could afford a piece or two from this collection, I’d love them and they’d certainly be investments…but maybe they should have kept this for RTW? Just my opinion.

Which was your favourite couture show?

You know those movies that you used to watch like 100 times when you were younger? Sabrina (the 1995 remake) was one of mine. My mom bought the film and I loved watching it with her and my sister. I saw it for the first time in 13 years last week, and I fell in love with it all over again.

My favourite part is when Sabrina, played by Julia Ormond, goes to work for Vogue in Paris. Not only does she get to work on shoots but makes photography one of her hobbies – sounds like one of my dreams – maybe because I watched the movie so much?

That’s Sabrina on the far right.

The Vogue shoot.

Sabrina when she comes back to Long Island from Paris, looking pretty amazing.

I don’t want to give the main story away (that would be lame), but if you love a good romantic comedy with some great fashion and a bit of Parisian scenery, I recommend this movie to you.

I found out a week ago that there’s an original 1954 Sabrina with Audrey Hepburn – I’d love to see it, have any of you seen it?

I found some vintage inspired/cute/quirky pictures of Zooey Deschanel…

Beautiful lady. I think her hair in the second last picture really suits her.
