Givenchy for an Oscar, Elie Saab Runner Up

It's hard to get excited about many red carpet gowns, but this is simply irresistible. Cate Blanchett you do this collection by Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy Couture Spring Summer 2011 justice. In fact, I can't imagine many more as perfect for it.

And thank you Elie Saab for being consistent with your red carpet offerings, particularly coming through this year for Mila Kunis. Let's say, there was lace detailing in all the right spots.

The cute monochromatic girls of NYFW A/W11

Two of fashions favourite girls were as cute as a button in black and white at New York Autumn Winter 2011 Fashion Week. Alexa Chung in Carven and Kirsten Dunst at Band of Outsiders show. One can never go wrong with a sharp tailoring but my pick of these outfits are the blouses. I've spied a peter pan collared flimsy short sleeved top in white, tan and coral at American Apparel available both on London's high streets and in Australia which is definitely my pick.
