Top 10 Best Dressed- London Fashion Week

This season the fashion forward celebrities who attended London Fashion Week outdid themselves in the style stakes. But out of all of the people and the parties here is my countdown of top 10 best dressed of the week:

10. Georgia Jagger in Chloe. With that bed head hair and minimal makeup she looks like she has rolled out of bed and into her heels. The ultimate laid back look.

9. Agyness Deyn doing what she does best at the Burberry afer party; tomboy cool. Brouges, mini dress, stockings and a cool jacket top off her casual night time look.
8. Leigh Lazark shimmers in this all black glittery number.
7. The lovely Jourdan Dunn looks gorgeous holding this shocking pink Mulberry clutch. (I had to stop myself from using the words "glowing" and "radiating" which is what people always seem to describe pregnant ladies as...)

6. Kaya Scodelario, who plays the oh so cool Effy in Skins looks oh so cool here in a Comme Des Garcons tee and Mulberry shoes.
5. Super models Natalia Vodianova and Lily Donaldson are the perfect stylish pair. Loving Lily's necklace and Natalia's Stella Mccartney dress.
4. Chanel Iman looks stunning at the Mulberry after party. Love that midnight blue jacket. But then she looks so good she could wear a plastic Tescos carrier bag and make it look fashionable.
3. Kate Moss, Queen of bohemian cool looks amazing at the Topshop unique show. I predict I rise in the sale of trilbys!

2. Alexa Chung, self confessed Luella obsessor looked amazing in this floral spring summer frock at the Vogue LFW dinner. Love her eye makeup, wish I could master that 'cat flick' liquid eyeliner look.

1. But at number one it has to be Emma Watson. She outshone all of the other A-Listers from Victoria Beckham to Liv Tyler at Buberry's closing party for the 25th anniversary of LFW in this dazzling dress.
Seriously is there nothing this girl can't do?
-She plays the one and only Hermione Granger.
-She has got a place at Brown University, one of the best in America and got straight A's on her A-Levels (nearly said OWLS then but stopped the Harry Potter nerd speak coming out just in time)
-She is doing some designing for charity People Tree
-AND on top of all that she always manages to look good.

However this Burberry dress (which is the ultimate party frock: short + sequins = stunning!) paired with some killer heels, tousled hair and smoky eyes is her best fashion choice yet.

Who is your number 1 best dressed from London Fashion Week?

Little Dead Riding Hood

I met Amy in Penn Station earlier this month and she agreed to share this, one of her eight tattoos:


Actually, she has since e-mailed me about her ninth, and I am waiting for a photo.

This tattoo represents an undead version of Little Red Riding Hood, which is Amy's favorite fairy tale.


She also likes zombies, so it seemed like a good match.

This tattoo was inked by T.J. Mcinnis at Mcinnis Tattoo Company in Providence, Rhode Island.

Thanks to Amy for sharing this cool tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Britney Spears Tattoos

Britney Spears certainly has her fair share of tattoos scattered around her body, most of which are quite small in size.

She has a fairy on her lower back, a cross on the inner hip area and a pair of lips tattooed on her wrist, to name a few.

The tattoo on Britney Spears' neck are Hebrew characters, which translate to the word "Healing". This tattoo has since been removed.

Here are some great photos of the tattoos below.




Zack's Spectacular Foot Tattoos

I met Zack earlier this month as he was walking north on Broadway. But, like many Tattoosday encounters, the ink I spotted (on his leg) was not what ended up here on the blog.

Behold, Zack's feet:

These incredible foot tattoos were created by Beef Stu at Bleed Blue Tattoo in Lexington, Kentucky. Zack recently moved to New York from the Bluegrass state.

Zack told me that the idea for these tattoos came to him in a vision. His right foot tattoo is comprised of a DNA strand, the key to life.
And the left foot. with the skull, represents death.


The word "LIVE" is spelled out above the pieces, with "LI" on the right foot and "VE" on the left. The tattoos, together, Zack told me, serve as a "reminder not to get caught up in the shit" and to "make the most of what you can between life and death".

It took three or four sessions (the feet are not easily inked) for these tattoos.

Thanks to Zack for sharing his amazing foot tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!

STOCKHOLM


A teenage hippie-troll in Stockholm some eleven ten years ago. Ehrm, me, in other words. But 'm quite cute though. And I remember really loving that strange furry old jacket!

Well anyway. I used to pop by in Stockholm at least a couple of times per year before; K and I went over there for some shopping and (never too successful actually) bar hopping, staying at her father's place downtown. Now I actually haven't been there properly for a couple of years! I'm doing a short trip there soon and as I've gone bazookas on the internet I have absolutely no need to shop anything but I was thinking if you locals would give me a hint on some stores worth visiting anyway? And for men too! And what's you absolute favorite place for a fika? Advice appreciated :)

Stephanie's חַי

It was a string of elephants marching above Stephanie's right ankle that first made me stop and talk to her, but she offered up this, her first tattoo, as well:


She started with the Chai at the top of her left breast. At the time, Stephanie was dating a guy who was covered in tattoos., She was 35, uninked, and going through a mid-life crisis. The shop was in Brattleboro, Vermont, but it has been gone for years.

She liked the tattoo so much, she later added the Star of David and the leaves. The Jewish theme was a tribute to her cultural identity as a Jew.

It somehow seemed both suiting and slightly inappropriate to post these tattoos on Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year on the Jewish calendar.

I am waiting to hear back from Stephanie for clarification on her string of elephant tattoos. But, in the mean time, I thank her for sharing this deeply personal tattoo with us here on Tattoosday.

"Elegance does not consist in putting on a new dress" -Coco Chanel

My current style inspiration is jewellery inspired dresses.

They are bright, bold and beautifully patterned which means that you will definitely stand out from the crowd in one of these creations...

It all started with McQueen sending his jewel-like designs down the runway last year in his SS09 collection:

But the great designer also has competition from Mary Katrantzou, one of my new favourite designers. She stole the show in February at London Fashion week when she showed her AW09 collection, which was inspired by perfume bottles and glass:





Her latest collection for SS10 previewed last week and continued using flowing silks and the theme of surreal jewellery but with a disco twist and a pinch of added sparkle:










And I also had photos of these little gems saved onto my computer but I have no idea who the designer is (why didn’t I save with the name? why, Beth why?)

So has anyone got any ideas who designed these? Let me know in a comment if you do, it has been buggind me for days that I have forgotten who created these stunning pieces:
