Who would have thought that Gwyneth Paltrow would ever be my style muse! Well, technically she isn’t. Because it’s her character Margot in the Royal Tenenbaums which I love. The sleek hair pinned back, the black kohl eyes, striped tops, fur coat and cigarette are a just perfect in every dysfunctional way.

Moschino Cheap and Chic continues the 60s vibe. I’m stocking up on houndstooth, mini dresses and mod tops as we speak…

I will be staying clear of the leather jackets/dresses/skirts that are everywhere at the moment. Instead I wish I had the money to get this little bolero with leather sleeves. Perfect.

Ok. This is my outing as an admirer of taxidermy. Don’t get me wrong, I hate nothing more than people going off on safari and shooting a rhino to have as a tablestand in their living room. But using roadkill to make decorative jewellery is indeed something I like.
Central Saint Martins graduate Reid Peppard is not just a taxidermist but also an accessories designer. Her rat headpieces and pidgeon-wing necklaces have truly gotten me hooked. Ever since I had a guinea pig as a child I’ve loved rodents (I’m currently flat-sharing with a hamster) and it bugs me that so many see mice and rats as disgusting, disease-ridden vermin.
As macabre as Peppard’s pieces might seem at first glimpse, I can’t honestly see any difference to wearing a leather jacket considering she is only using those fallen victim to traffic and the pest control. Isn’t this up-cycling in its purest form?

I’m loving the obvious 60s influence on all the catwalks. Luella’s collection is just fab: candy-coloured swing coats, cocktail dresses and skirt suits. Spring/Summer 10 is promising to be exactly my kind of thing!

In case you were wondering where I’ve been the last few days: I went to the Goodwood Revival. I loved watching the races and being emerged in the past. How weird to be back in the 21st century!
Day1: Doing the 40s
Day 2: my friend Claire and I, it’s the 50s:
Day 3: 60s all the way!

Stylist and shoe designer Eilsa Nalin has got the loveliest Paris apartment. I just adore her colourful, kitsch and vintage-influenced deco. Not even mentioning the best shoe collection I have ever seen. Jealous? Me? Hm…
