Ode to Amy - Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture S/S 2012...
Jean Paul Gaultier's S/S 2012 Haute homage to Amy Winehouse injected a sexy, naughty youth into his Couture collection. It was a celebration of Camden's finest style 'coutured' with a modern, street slant and a silhouette heavy with Miss Winehouse's signature pencil skirt silhouette, exaggerated black beehive {although on the runway it morphed into a kaleidoscope of color pop shades}, trademark black eyeliner flicks and 'lip piercing' beauty spot.

KARL by Karl...
Maybe it's the twin in me that makes me love this doppelganger-esque interview of Karl interviewing himself about the launch of his much anticipated and now I am sure pretty much sold out collection for NET-A-PORTER {launched yesterday}. I love the tongue-in-cheek angle of this video with La Lagerfeld poking fun at himself and seeing the lighter side of this amazing industry we work in.

My Miu Miu addiction continues...
...have fallen head-over-heals with these beauties, oh how I love it when you track down a completely sold out item on eBay and even better when you bag said item for less than the original selling prise {brand new} - result! Coloured lenses are big news in eyewear for spring/summer with shades of blue being particularly prominent on the S/S 2012 catwalks. The dusky pink silk velvet cases are exquisite in themselves. Cannot. Wait. To. Wear.

The Godfather of Street Style Snappers...
'Fashion is the armour to survive the reality of everyday life'. Bill Cunningham New York, a documentary about the legendary street style photographer is out on March 16th in the UK, if the trailer below is anything to go by looks like a must see movie to me.

Who you calling a Muppet...?
Last night Miss B and I went to the Soho Hotel in London for a private screening of the upcoming Muppets movie {released in the UK on February 10th} and to have a closer look at the multitude of fashion collabo's that are underway to celebrate the launch. I personally cannot wait for Miss Piggy to attend the premiere in London in a custom made Giles gown, rumour has it that she will be walking the red carpet accompanied by the designer himself. Not necessarily a film I would have gone to the cinema to see, it certainly made me smile with it's somewhat cheesy songs / dance routines and wholesome be good to each other message. I was particularly taken by the bunch of kermit balloons {you know how I love a helium balloon} in the foyer and was a little bit gutted, ok massively that they were just for the kids! In terms of the collaborations I am really loving the Miss Piggy for MAC artwork, she certainly knows how to work a wig change in the movie.

Campaign Cult - Balenciaga Spring 2012...
I love an all white interior {as regular readers will know}, so this particular photo from the S/S 2012 Balenciaga campaign speaks to me, shot by Steven Meisel and enlisting some new faces - a refreshing change to the usual big name stars chosen to front big brand ads.

All White Givenchy...
If I was going to work an all white outfit this look would be it. The milk glass embellishment on the shirt collar and sweatshirt neckline are exquisite details on this smart sports look. Riccardo Tisci a.k.a. 'Givenchy the Great' does it again.

Mens Trends - Hollywood Heavyweights...
Adrien Brody, Willem Dafoe, Jamie Bell and Dracula himself Gary Oldman {complete with red lensed specs similar to the ones he wears in said film} walked an alternative red carpet to the Golden Globes in Hollywood last night; that of Miuccia Prada's A/W 2012 catwalk show - 'Prada presents: Il Pallazo. A place of role play.' Immense.

Mens Trends - 'Jack'pack...
What do you get when you cross the concept of a backpack with a jacket?...The answer a 'jackpack' {part jacket/part backpack}. This is such a cool and practical styling idea from Costume National's A/W 2012 catwalk show yesterday.

Mens Trends - Stealth 'Paper' Bags...
Raf Simons at Jil Sander does it again. His leather loving predominantly black on black collection for A/W 2012-13 included some very cool accessories. The stealth black 'paper' lunch bags are such a simple idea that becomes kind of genius in their clever execution. No doubt they are not actually made from paper and are far more durable and I love the luxe newspaper wallet come bag - the stylish way to carry your broadsheet.

Mens Trends - PJ's as daywear...?
So it's semi old news for the girls, although I feel this season might be the one where we actually see silk pyjamas on the street {and not just cropping up during fashion weeks on bloggers and industry insiders}. Milan menswear kicked off today and for their A/W 2012-13 show Dolce and Gabbana sent several looks down the runway that were styled with Hugh Hefner-esque paisley print PJ's. So the question is are the boys ready to join the pyjama party?

Foot Fetish Friday - Holographic Sensible Sequin...
On a dash round the Harrods shoe sale for Miss R before she flew out to Australia for Mr R's sisters wedding I spotted these Mary Jane beauties from Miu Miu. Perfect shoes for my bride-to-be perhaps, we are meeting on Wednesday night when I will be removing the sleeves of her Mother's handmade dress - eek! I know Miss K doesn't want a super high heel and so I think this mid block heel may well be a perfect height and I love the idea of these sparkly sequin shoes hiding under the dress until she maybe hits the dance floor in the evening.

Cocktail Detox? - The Experimental Cocktail Club...
Last night I visited The Experimental Cocktail Club {http://experimentalcocktailclublondon.com/} on Gerrard Street, W1. A speakeasy-come-prohibition-style secret drinking den in the heart of bustling China Town. Entering through a scruffy unmarked black door {no.13} with no signage and straight upstairs to a mirrored ceiling first floor bar complete with navy on black leopard carpet throughout we grabbed a couple of stools at the bar and looked over the cocktail menu. I usually avoid going out during my annual January detox but actually really enjoyed the experience, even though it only got as crazy as a fresh grapefruit juice for me! The cocktail list here includes some unusual ingredients including lavender infused gin and purple salt, as well as their vintage cocktail selection with prices from £120-£250 per cocktail {no that isn't a typo} which blend rare gins, vermouths and bourbons from the 1950s-1970s. The glassware itself is simply gorgeous, a pleasure to drink from. Up to the second floor which has a piano set into the bar, a really lovely idea although I was disappointed to find out it apparently doesn't actually play which is a shame. The toilets on the third floor have been beautifully decorated with flamingo wallpaper, quilted tiles and porcelain teapot lights which I loved! I think Purl in Marylebone still has it over ECC for me and whilst we are on the subject of speakeasy style bars in Londres, I am looking forward to visiting 69 Colebrooke Row and The Worship Street Whistling Shop anytime from 1st Feb!

Campaign Cult - Mulberry Spring 2012...
Lifesize melting ice cream cones, sticks of rock and fish & chip newspaper wrappings create a sacharin sweet set for Lindsey Wixson and Frida Gustavsson on Brighton's pebble beach in front of the Pier. Shot by Tim Walker who continues his collabo with Mulberry, this is definitely my fave campaign so far he has shot for them - Brighton Rocks!

Campaign Cult - Valentino Spring 2012...
Shot by Deborah Turbeville, this campaign is simply stunning and I love how the series shows off so many of the exquisite laces and hand crafted embellishments of the dresses and how the models are always shown en mass. Personal fave has to be the long line sheer nude dress with appliqued fluoro pink and black lace detailing.

COS sale signage...
...I popped into Oxford Street this morning {not as early as planned - oh the last lye in of the festive season} and made it until about 1pm before I had to escape far from the madding crowds. I had a couple of birthday gifts to buy and wanted to hit the shoe sales at Liberty and Selfridges. I only made it to Liberty and en route just loved the sale sign in COS. Simple. Understated {much like the store/clothing itself} and fluoro orange against a neutral backdrop - what is not to love. I always enjoy Selfridges tongue in cheek sale slogans especially this years 'good things come to those who wait'. However COS proves sale signs clearly can be done in a chic, stylish way, tagline and all.

Hap-py New Year...
Wishing all of you Bijouxettes an exquisite 2012. Thought I would share the 'pink elephants on parade' segment from Disney's classic Dumbo. Miss R and I loved this film as kids and re-watched over Christmas with Miss N's adorable little boy Oscar - enjoy!
