Tied In Knots

I still can't stop wearing topknots. They are just the perfect solution to a bad hair day - totally rectifies when our hairs messy, knotty, disagreeable or dirty (with the help of some baby powder - perk of being blonde!). I love them when they are a bit messy and slept in, they convey a gorgeous, appealing and unpretensious nonchalance and realism. Childlike and innocent yet also a suggest a bit of trouble too.

They are in nearly every issue of Russh - always executed to perfection. Erin Wasson is undoubtably the queen of the knot - she even wore a big side angled one to the Met's Costume Institute Gala this year. I also love the cute buns done by Stephen Marr for Juliette Hogan's beautiful summer lookbook.

The Met's Costume Institute Gala 09: Neo-Supers

Unsurprisingly, the models kicked ass on the red carpet at The Met Ball. The neo-supers all looked mind blowing - and super fresh. This is why they are payed the big bucks and front pretty much everything. They look to die for on the runway, in editorial, in candids and on the red carpet.

My three all time faves looked stunning. Trust Erin to blow everyone away in some insane zipped leather pants. That girl is an icon. Sasha looks absolutely ethereal and yet somehow earthy at the same time. I LOVE her hair. Best of the night. Daria gives a tiny sparkly dress edge and mystery (total opposite of what we saw on Giselle).

The other big names looked amazing too. Anja is made for Balmain (her shoulders do worry me somewhat though...). Miranda manages to be super sexy but not vulgar. Caroline looks like a total princess - every girls dream, and I could SO see that dress on an Olsen (probably MK). I can't tell you how much Im dying for that insane chainmail dress by Alexander Wang that Lara is wearing. She's got the figure to wear it instead of it wearing her.

The Met's Costume Institute Gala 09: Jessica Stam, Kate Bosworth, Diane Kruger & Kate Moss

I can't get over how mind blowing Jessica Stam looks in that Rodarte.. It is absolutely amazing with her colouring - fair skin and warm blonde hair. This is how its done. The Boz does Old Hollywood without an ounce of cliche. Loving the side parted hair and the black lace Stella McCartney - so elegant and just a little bit of siren and romantic gothic. 

Diane Kruger manages to look super strong even though wearing stunning, delicate white Chanel lace. And the divine Miss Moss is literally the golden girl of the night in (and with) Marc Jacobs - love the turban (had been hearing rumours about it for the past week).

The Met's Costume Institute Gala 09: The Olsens

The Olsen girls looked stunning at The Mets Costume Institute Gala themed "Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion"" this year. I love how the total go against the typical "sexy" look (just compare them to what Giselle wore). Mary Kate was in Christian Lacroix Couture and Ashley wore The Row. Her new haircut is growing on me - its sharp and modern (but a little bit 90s, in a good way). Mary Kate's is looking awesome too - soft and natural, but not messy or overly disheveled like it was for a while there.
