La Blogeuse

I love Garance Doré. There, I've said it. I know, I know, everyone loves her. But I really really love her. Like, worship-every-fibre-of-her-being love her. I look forward to reading her blog every day. And luckily for this fangirl, she blogs, like, 2, 3 or sometimes 4 times a day. Not only is she a supremely talented illustrator, but her photography is stunning and her personal style is totally sick. But the thing I heart about her most is her perspective. Her personality. Her take on things. I'll start to read one of her posts and in my head I'm going "Oh my God, yes!" and "So true dat" and "Exactly!". Even people on GOMI like her, and that, let's face it, is a very rare thing indeed. Now I know it's not really good form for a blogger to blog about another blogger, (Blog Will Eat Itself) but in this case I'll hope you'll make an exception. Not that she remotely needs me bigging her up, but I just wanted to show much love and respect to GD (and her amazing accent), Signed, A Fangirl.

PS Agreed, it does seem a bit trite to be prattling on about all this featherweight stuff given what is happening in Paris today. But just to say- good always wins, terrorism is despicable and if democracy words and freedom aren't quite up to the job in the way we hoped, then we will fight to the death. (Well, I will).

Alt-E

Topic Du Jour: Emmanuelle Alt. Basically, if you don't love her we can't be friends. She keeps it real. She keeps it French. She keeps it, perf, essentially. (Although doubtless, like I, you'll have been more than slightly perturbed by her Vogue interview recently where she claimed vociferously that she isn't a feminist. I put this down to her Gallicness, but I'm prepared to forgive and forget and get back to her sick clothes. Bet she's well relieved).

So, this outfit kinda came together inna random way, with images of Manu from Fashion Month whirling round my tiny mind. Couple of problems though straight off the bat: 1) I bought this coaty-jackety thing from H&M and left it in the carrier bag. Hence why it's crunkled beyond all comprehension. Major Soz. and 2) Somehow, I've ended up looking like Jim Carey in 'The Mask'. Soz for that too. Oh, and 3) I was gonna put on a much nicer pair of heels with this outfit (namely: Topshop Slingbacks) but I dint wanna ruin them so the cheapies came out to play instead. Now all that's out the way I can give props to my new fedora, and hope in some teeny tiny way I have channelled a bit of Em-A's dressed-down tomboy chic. Au Reservoir pour now, and furthermore, mange toute Rodney xx
