My Fashion Life

I don’t blame supermodels for branching out. Kate’s got her Topshop line. Christy has her yoga clothing range and Elle Macpherson creates beautiful lingerie. In fact it’s almost inevitable considering the modelling industry has such a short shelf life. While many of her colleagues have opted for fashion, Linda Evangelista is (according to Grazia) venturing into the beauty industry with the launch of a make-up range with L’Oreal Paris. The finer details have yet to be released but Linda says she’s a “total product junkie.”

Is that enough to warrant her very own make-up range?

D&G may be facing a downward spiral with their clothing line but that hasn’t stopped them from branching out. The brand has officially entered the beauty arena with the launch of their first make-up line. That’s right. Now we have more luxurious beauty products to lust after. The debut collection takes inspiration from the Mediterranean and Stefano Gabbana promises rose scented lipsticks.

Rumors mills can be a dastardly thing, but when Marc Jacobs is involved you can’t help but rub your hands together in excitement! According to Vogue, Jacobs will be opening a Marc by Marc Jacobs store this April at an unknown location -just in time for your wardrobe spring clean!

I’m a huge sucker for the Marc Jacobs aesthetic, but the price tag often sends me running in the other direction. Thus, I was beyond pleased when he kick started his more “pocket-friendly”, Marc by Marc Jacobs line. Moreover, in delivering a more affordable look for the masses, Jacobs creativity is not watered down in the slightest (e.g those paisley cummerbunds from the SS09 collection were choice).

So whether you shop at the current Marc Jacobs standalone store that is nestled on London’s Mount Street or delight in the youthful edginess of this newly announced Marc by Marc Jacobs store, it’s a win-win situation!

Jigsaw, the fashion store with the kooky windows and magnificent changing rooms. It’s one of those stores you probably often walk past, have a quick peek through the windows but rarely go in. It is though a fantastic fashion retailer and now it’s online!

Since Sarah Palin’s recruitment as McCain’s running mate on Aug. 29 we’ve seen her in a rotating selection of tailored skirt suits accessorized with knee high boots and pumps.

Probably the last thing we need is another shopping mall, but I bet I’m not the only one who is pretty excited by the latest offering from mall giants Westfield.

Shopping for the perfect pair of black trousers is a contradiction in terms - they just don’t seem to exist. Like searching for that elusive pair of flawless jeans, it is boring, frustrating and the thought of it feels me with dread.
