lusting for: vivienne westwood jewels

March 3, 2011 in fashion

Vivienne Westwood’s newest venture is the ‘Get A Life’ Palladium Jewelry Collection.

I’m sure I would’ve loved it anyway but having the gorgeous Christina Hendricks as the face of the brand makes it somewhat irresistible.

Some might argue that the jewelry pales in significance next to Christina’s own, ahem, assets but I think she’s a perfect choice for the campaign.

As the name suggests, the jewelery is made from Palladium, a natural white metal from the platinum family which maintains its colour and shape over time.

The designs themselves are inspired by nature and symbols of paganism, as evidenced in the stunning photo of Hendricks.

The Vivienne Westwood ‘Get a Life’ Palladium Jewellery Collection will be available in Vivienne Westwood boutiques in London and LA from this month.

lusting for: london fog

August 26, 2010 in fashion

I’m a big fan of the trench coat (I’m inseparable from the Two Paths Trench I bought earlier this year from Anthropologie) and London Fog is one of the classic trench brands.

You may remember the brand featured in Mad Men a couple of seasons ago (when Don came up with the line “Limit Your Exposure” to also convince Sal to hide his homosexuality) and London Fog is continuing to ride on the success of the show by appointing the glamorous Christina Hendricks (who plays Joan on the show) as its new celebrity spokesmodel.

Hendricks stars in the fall ad campaign, following in the footsteps of Gisele Bundchen, Eva Longoria Parker and Tony Parker.

However it seems her famous curves didn’t quite make it in tact to the final copy – Jezebel shows the difference between the original shots and the photoshopped finals here.

After British politician Lynne Featherstone pronounced earlier this month that Hendricks was the perfect body role model, it’s a shame London Fog still felt they needed to trim down her hips.

mad men is almost back…

July 16, 2010 in fashion

I love Mad Men and I’m really excited that it’s back on air next week. Season 4 will bring us into 1964, where the mod movement will play a major fashion role.

One of the things I love most about Mad Men is that they keep it real to true life (for example, the set furniture was selected to include pieces from the 1950s and 1940s as well as the 60s because nobody has all brand new pieces in their house) and they will be sticking to that philosophy with this season’s fashion.

We can expect to see a few mod influences pop in but none of our favourite ladies will be completely revamping their style. “It’s like anybody’s life, you add pieces to your closet but you’re not changing your whole style with every trend,” says the show’s costume designer, Janie Bryant.

Have a sneak peek at some looks from Season 4 at instyle.com.

I also recommend checking out the LA Times Magazine’s interview with the stunning Christina Hendricks, who plays Joan (my favourite character). The photos accompanying the interview are to die for – check them out here.

Tune in for the Season 4 premiere of Mad Men on AMC next Saturday.
