My Fashion Life

Nars have recently added some new shades/colours for Spring 08, to their existing line of products which I was lucky enough to test out. For the past month or so I’ve been using the Nars duo eyeshadow in Alhambra, Lipgloss/Lip stain duo in Stolen Kisses/Pampa, The Multiple in Orgasm and Lip Gloss in Greek Holiday.

Well, it seems as though every young celeb and their mother has decided to design their own line. We have Rachel Bilson, Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan and others joining the roster of actress-cum-seamstress already peopled by Hilary Duff, the Olsen twins, Mandy Moore, Sarah Jessica Parker, as well as the other celeb set of the Hilton sisters, the Madden brothers, Lauren Conrad and … well, you get the point.

Last weekend during the only snowstorm of the year, my trusty Converse trainers broke. I was wondering why my toes were feeling damp, when I looked down and saw a crack the size of the Grand Canyon spreading southwards down the sole of my shoe.

I always hate when my shoes break, because they become like a close friend, trusty and steadfast. Now I need to get looking for another pair in time for my trip to Paris next week, but where do I look? And what style do I choose?

Collective muses of the season seem to be “Big Edie” and “Little Edie” of “Grey Gardens” fame. The cult documentary, which followed the squalar, isolation and faded eccentricities of Jackie O’s aunt and cousin in East Hampton, directly inspired Galliano’s S/S show and is currently being remade into a feature film starring Drew Barrymore.
