lana del rey - video games

absolutely in love with this song. i first heard it on fearne cotton's show on radio 1 and have been obsessed with it ever since. and with lana making an appearance in wonderland magazine this month she looks set to be something big.

miu miu

miu miu's fall 2011 ad campaign is particularly stunning. photographed by bruce webber it is a beautiful mix of retro silhouettes and whimsical prints; there is something very nostalgic about this 40s inspired photography. despite the youngness of the model, hailee steinfeld, there is still an air of sophistication and maturity about the campaign, set in the gorgeous rural scenery. yet this is contrasted by the element of playful childishness during the indoor shots with the idea of playing dress up with the glittery heels. overall this campaign is just stunning; take a look for yourself and see what you think:

this idea of nostaligia continued in last month's vogue in a photo shoot named 'autumn sonata' starring Lily Donaldson, photographed by Tom Craig and styled by bay garnett. again the mix of printed day dresses with cosy knits set on the tiny island of faro, off the coast of sweden, makes for some stunning photographs:

rihanna

princess riri, as known to her fans, has been gracing the fashion world quite a lot recently. from starring in the armani jeans advert to being cover star of british vogue last month.

rihanna in the armani jeans advert

my opinion of rihanna had being going a bit downhill recently. i just thought her latest album was all a bit too much; was it really necessary for all those erotic dance moves and offensive lyrics, especially considering the age of some of her fans. she said in her interview in vogue, "people, they want me to be a role model just because of the life i lead ... but no, i just want to make music. that's it."

however, since seeing her at v festival this summer (see above photo) my opinions have started to change. she put on such a good performance and after seeing her in vogue, maybe she isn't all about the sex after all.

she looks so sophisticated in armani couture and the blonde wig and despite loving her red hair she still looks awesome. i think the fashion world needs to watch out, rihanna is only going to get bigger.

and on a final note i will leave you with rihanna's new video featuring calvin harris, we found love. i love it.

more new clothes

as the lovely taxman decided to give me all my money back this month, i thought it was time to treat myself. again:

(clockwise) scarf - primark, top - french connection, leggings - primark, leather shorts - primark, sequin shorts - french connection

i am absolutely in love with these sequin shorts. along with the black top they are part of my new work uniform for french connection, but they will also be perfect for a night out. i will be sure to post you a photo when i am wearing them.

i have wanted some leather shorts for a while now and these ones from primark are perfect. not only were they reasonably priced at £14, i love the detail and the scalloped edges. they are also a really good fit too.
