The king of the hourglass, the couturier-architect strikes again with these fabulously architectural ankle boots.

A wild night out in 80's body-con style is the way to go, with a very modern Mark Fast dress!!

"I wish I had invented blue jeans. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes".

This is very similar to the outfit I wore to go shopping on Saturday. (Mine was more towards the Uniqlo end of the scale rather than YSL though...)

I was on a hunt for (more) boots!!!

The Women # 10 Katharine Hepburn

Daughter of a suffragette, outspoken, confident and opinionated all her life...

I am in in awe! Well chosen Prickly Pear!

There have been some fantastic intepretations of her look this week, and her masculine and easy casual style is one of my absolute favourites, one I wear regularly and admire greatly.

So I thought I'd style her as she is seen less often, in film star mode, where she is as beautiful, glamorous and Hollywood perfect as any of her contemporaries.
