blake lively for gucci premiere

I know it's been a while, but real life has been busy. And big things are coming up - not least my 9-day trip to Italy next week!

Anyway, just saw these, and my oh my, is Blake Lively gorgeous! Look at her in these behind-the-scenes pictures on her shoot for Gucci's new fragrance, Premiere. I'm on a mission to find out what lipstick she's using. I also need to learn how to use rollers.

lana del rey's h&m full campaign

The pictures are here! First glimpse over at British Vogue. Lovely campaign, enough said!

Absolutely awful ad for Balenciaga's new fragrance. It's not just that Kristen Steward cheated on Robert Pattinson and ripped apart a family, she is a terrible actress, has terrible style and just looks terrible generally. I have  no idea why Balenciaga would cast her, someone somewhere obviously had a momentary lapse in judgement - seems to be a popular course of action to take these days.

I seem to be on a hot streak, stumbling across the most extraordinary images... here you go, David Beckham's H&M underwear ad projected onto the White Cliffs of Dover. Whoever came up with the idea is a genius!

dior addict fragrance: campaign preview

Oh oh oh oh these are so beautiful... teaser pictures from the Dior Addict fragrance campaign have been released, and the campaign itself will be unveiled tomorrow.

Shot on the French Riviera, Daphne Groeneveld looks absolutely sensational. It's hard to believe this glamorous girl is just 17. (I certainly remember what I looked like when I was 17...)

Channelling Brigette Bardot in wide-brimmed sunhats and pin-up cheekiness with pouty pink lips, this is probably my favourite fragrance campaign of all time.

elie saab: balade a paris

Exams are over, summer is here... well, if it ever stops raining.

I am counting down the 10 days till Paris, my second time in the capital of romance. Looking forward to an amazing meal at Le Restaurant and Au Petit Sud Ouest, lingering at the Musée de l'Armée, eating macarons at Parc Monceau, flitting from stall to stall at the Marché Bastille, and watching the sun set behind the Eiffel Tower.

Coincidentally, Elie Saab released this beautiful short film, Balade a Paris, introducing their Pre-Fall line in Paris last Friday. It's absolutely gorgeous. The screenshots don't do the video justice.

harvey nichols: jizz in your pants?

I have an exam tomorrow but I must post this: the Harvey Nichols Summer Sale ads.

How bad are these ads? I get it if it's a guy, he's so excited that he jizzes in his pants. Haha (marginally). But what about the girls? So excited that they pee in their panties?

Bad, bad, bad. Or is it just me who doesn't have a sense of humour? (It must be the former.)
