Sasha, Joan and Daria for Vogue Paris

This week it feels like I haven't left my laptop's side, and after a heavy week of posting (this January I broke my record for most posts in one month) I'm out of energy and inspiration. So before I start posting about the March 2011 covers, which are already starting to pop up online, I wanted to post three of my favourite shots from this amazing Vogue Paris editorial. The massive 65 page shoot is in the February issue, which is Carine's second-to-last as editor-in-cheif. Sasha, Joan and Daria sure know how to work it for Mario Sorrenti's camera.

Editorial: "Et Vogue l'ete 2011"

Photographer: Mario Sorrenti

Stylists: Carine Roitfeld, Emmanuelle Alt and Jane How

Are you loving these shots too? Which of the three models is your favourite?

Would You Rather?

This week I've really struggled to find any inspiration and quite honestly I've been lacking any real enthusiasm to blog. Next week will be better. But I thought this rather slow week for fashion news would be a good time to bring back one of the post popular posts: would you rather?
The rules are simple; you chose one of the two options. You can’t say neither, and you certainly can't have both. The choice is hard to so make it wisely...

Now it's your turn. Leave your selection in the comments section.

Florence Welch in US Vogue's April Issue

Florence Welch from Florence and the Machine has well and truly made it in America. Recently she's been rocking pretty much every red carpet stateside, she made an appearance in Gossip Girl and has now been photographed by Tim Walker for the April issue of US Vogue. Not bad going. And she looks beautiful, no?

It's also worth noting that Florence is pretty friendly with Anna Wintour's favourite girl, Blake Lively. I love the story of how Blake Lively got invited to the couture shows last summer. If you missed it, it goes like this:

"I was speaking with Anna Wintour and we were just talking about different fashion houses and I said, 'I love Chanel,' and she said, 'You should come with me to the show.' I also said I loved Dior. She said 'OK, well I'll take you to the Chanel and Dior shows and we'll meet with Karl and John [Galliano] afterwards.' Insane!"

Obviously Florence deserves the Vogue appearance anyway, but I wonder if Blake made a sneaky phone call to Anna Wintour's office. Something about how she loves Florence and the Machine, Tim Walker and peacock feathers...

This is TIESTO's profile

We all know who is DJ tiesto. now let us find out more about him.

he born in January 17, 1969) is a Dutch musician, DJ and record producer of electronic dance music. Although he has used many aliases in the past, he is best known for his work as DJ Tiesto. On his latest productions, however, he has dropped the "DJ" label and is now known simply as "Tiësto", an alias which is a twist of his childhood nickname.

In 1997 (hey, its my birth year :D), he founded the label Black Hole Recordings with Arny Bink, where he released the Magik and In Search of Sunrise CD series. In 1999 and 2000 he collaborated with Ferry Corsten to create Gouryella. His 2000 remix of Delerium's "Silence" featuring Sarah McLachlan exposed him to more mainstream audiences. In 2001, he released his first solo album In My Memory which gave him several major hits that launched his career. He was named "World’s No.1 DJ" 3 consecutive times by DJ Magazine from 2002 through 2004.

Just after releasing his second studio album Just Be in 2004 at the Summer Olympics, he performed live at the opening ceremony in Athens, Greece, becoming the first DJ to play live on stage at an Olympics. Tracks he made especially for the Olympics were mixed together and released as the mix compilation Parade of the Athletes later that year. In April 2007 Tiësto launched both his radio show Tiësto's Club Life on Radio 538 in the Netherlands and released his third studio album titled Elements of Life. The album reached number one on the Dutch album chart as well on "Billboard Top Electronic Albums" in the U.S. and received a nomination for a Grammy Award in 2008. Tiësto released his fourth studio album called Kaleidoscope in October 2009.

Same Prada Dress, Two Covers: Who Wears it Better, Amanda Seyfried or Abbie Cornish?

Usually I don't like 'who wore it better?' features, but when I noticed that Amanda Seyfried and Abbie Cornish have both been photographed in the beautiful green-printed Prada S/S 2011 dress for magazine covers I became interested. Amanda was photographed by Matthias Vriens-McGrath for Marie Claire UK's April subscribers cover (she wears Chanel on the newsstand copy) and Abbie appears on the April 2011 edition of Harper's Bazaar Australia in the same dress.

Which one is the best?

My interest was mainly sparked because last year there was that hugely over-the-top 'scandal' when the same Miu Miu dress made a number of magazine covers - will this be a similar situation? I wouldn't be surprised if this dress lands even more covers. And then there is the small (and really rather insignificant) fact that both Amanda and Abbie have dated Ryan Phillippe. If Reese Witherspoon wears it too it will be quite the hattrick. Eva Mendes (who has no Ryan connection) has also worn this number. See, it's already getting quite confusing....

Who do you think wears the Prada dress best? And who do you think will be next?

Alexander McQueen "Savage Beauty" at The Metropolitan Museum of Art

We're just days away from the Oscars but I'm already busy thinking about the Met Gala Benefit, which takes place on May 2nd. The Met Gala - known as "the fashion Oscars" - is my favourite annual red carpet event and I'm particularly excited this year, as the Costume Institute will be celebrating the work of Alexander McQueen.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art's exhibition, Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty, will run from May 4th through to July 31st, and yesterday I was lucky enough to attend the Press Presentation at The Ritz London.
Samantha Cameron kicked off the breakfast presentation stating that she was "thrilled" by the "recognition of British fashion". She was followed by Thomas Campbell, Director of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Andrew Bolton, Curator of the exhibition from The Costume Institute, who talked us through the exhibition, which will feature approximately 100 pieces from McQueen's 19-year fashion career.

François-Henri Pinault and Salma Hayek will act as Honorary Chairs, and Stella McCartney, Anna Wintour and (rather randomly) Colin Firth will Co-Chair the Gala Benefit. I can't wait to see which McQueen pieces are worn on the red carpet, and it looks like I will be in NYC on May 4th, which is when the exhibition opens, so I'm hoping I'll get to see it in person.
