Naughty Christmas Lingerie--Ana Beatriz Barros

I just saw this Ellen von Unwerth editorial featuring Ana Beatriz Barros over on Fashion Gone Rouge, and I had to share it with you all. Isn't it a great? Merry Christmas, everyone!

You Can Never Get Enough/Enough Of This Stuff

This perfect sequin jacket will compliment anything black. And just about everything else really. If I owned it I think I'd wear it every single day if I could. Please Santa, this is a hint to you...

Ps. I'm slowly getting around to replying to your comments. Be patient with me, I know I'm slow haa.

Season Greetings From Alexa

What’s on your wish list this holiday season?
First and foremost, I would like a Pashley bike with a basket at the front, but I’m fairly certain I’ll be crushed by a London taxi within minutes of setting off. So second on my list would be a violin, because I really want to be part of an orchestra.

What are your plans for New Year’s Eve?
I will be spending New Year’s Eve with my boyfriend [Alex Turner]’s band [the Arctic Monkeys] and all the girlfriends in Sydney, Australia. I’m toying with the idea of D. J.-ing that night, but perhaps it would be better to enjoy a barbeque on the beach. Either way, fireworks need to featured heavily.

What are you most looking forward to in 2009?
I’m most looking forward to all of the music festivals in 2009. I really hope I can squeeze in Coachella again, because that was the best festival I’ve ever been to. I’d also love to attend Fuji Rock, because I’ve never been before.

What are you doing to avoid the effects of the recession?
I’m not doing anything to avoid the effects of the recession—if anything I’m spending more now. I just blew £1,500 on a Chanel bag. It made me want to be sick. But hopefully my spending will encourage others to spend, and then the economy will eventually get back on track.

If I Had Diane Kruger's Wardrobe...

...it would be easy as pie to get dressed for this Christmas' events. The only problem might be that I would have too many beautiful and stunning pieces to choose from. Ah, what a luxury problem!

Ps. I am very sorry that I haven't posted these last few days as I promised I would. I have been working a lot since it's close to Christmas + I'm ill + I haven't had internet access until now, so I hope I am excused. Thanks for reading, and I'll get back to all the great comments you've left me as soon as possible x x x

Temptation Greets You Like Your Naughty Friend

As we're a week into December, there's no denying that the Christmas sugary goodies and treats aren't far away from reach. This is the month where I have to be a clever girl and stick to my work-out routine. No slacking here. Flicking through the newest Paris Vogue edition, I saw this editorial which I would like to call a good dose of inspiration and motivation to stay loyal to my cardio and my strengthening exercises.

So one of my New Year's resolutions will be: always go to the gym looking like I've jumped right out of this stunning Vogue Paris editorial.

Haha yeah, fat chance, but a girl can dream!

Pretty Feathers Make Fine Birds

Do you want to steal some attention at the Christmas parties you're going to? I know you do!

Just follow this Cobrasnake girl's example and wear a large feather decoration in your hair. I think it looks absolutely brilliant, and it will make you stand out in the crowd.

Carrie's done it, so you know you want to aswell!

Just one word of advice, take it easy on the eyeshadow. Don't go too wild with it!

Red Is The New Black For Me

I might have mentioned before that one of my favourite colours is red. Even though I love the colour a lot, I do not wear it all that often, but strangely enough, during December I wear it quite often. My warm feelings for red becomes turn into a kind of obsession in the last month of the year. It's a strange habit of mine, and I have come to the conclusion that it must have something to do with the season we're in at the moment. Red is the Christmas colour after all!

So, as the Polyvore addict that I am (and I know I'm not alone), I decided to put together a few outfits, each with a red piece. I like dividing my collages into day and night because I often just swap out a few things before going out again. I just find that a lot easier, especially when I'm in a rush (which I am most of the time) than create a whole new outfit.

Do you wear a lot of red?

A Christmas Wish

Oh, how I wish Christophe Decarnin was Santa Claus!

Then he could bring me all these Balmain wonders in his big bag of presents. He would come inside, and we would talk fashion while the Christmas night slowly fades into Christmas day. With beautiful music playing in the background, Christophe tells me to put on one piece after the other, so that I can twirl around in the clothes and dance slowly to the music like it would last forever and ever. Like it only is in dreams...

If you could choose any designer to be Santa, who would it be?
