His Name Was Raoul

His name was Raoul, her name was Arizona, and together they made a perfect Spring 2011 lookbook! I love this Raoul collection and these images for many reasons, firstly because Arizona looks gorgeous and I can't get over how much I STILL love her hair, and secondly because it looks like the wardrobe of a 1960's Parsian girl! Tres chic! Click on the source to see more!

Short Back And Sides

It was this photo from The Sartorialist that reminded me that I'd been meaning to do a post about Michael Pitt because his hair is very much the same as Michael's in Martin Scorsese's hit show BoardWalk Empire. I personally love this haircut, I think it looks incredibly modern despite it probably being a classic men's haircut (I can't claim to know that much about fashions in men's hair actually!) and Michael Pitt wears it so well in Boardwalk.

Pitt plays Jimmy Darmody, a soldier returned from WWI to Atlantic City in the early days of Prohibition, who wants to claim his stake on the city working for politician/gangster Nucky Thompson (Steve Buscemi). Pitt's portrayal of a man battling his post-war demons and trying to regain control of his old life while creating a new one  is captivating; he has a magnetic presence on screen and aesthetically really suits the period. I highly recommend the show which is suprisingly addictive and features a rosta of great actors. And for us costume nerds the show is full of beautiful 1920's garb; women in drop waist dresses and velvet opera coats, and men in sharp 3-piece suits and bowler hats.

Here's some beautiful portraits of Michael Pitt for Interview Magazine, taken by Craig McDean. Go here to read Michael being interviewed by Martin Scorsese and get a real insight into the mind of one of the most promising actors working today.

The Coolest

This is exactly how I'd wear a white suit if I had one (which hopefully I will do soon if the fashion gods are smiling on me!). This one is from Zara and although I love it, I think I would like my 'perfect white suit' to be comprised of a single buttoned loose blazer with straight leg loose trousers, instead of the double-breasted tailored one above. Although I would DEFINATELY wear it with a denim shirt and Converse's, real casual like. And how great is her hair? Boho Jane Birkin methinks!

Glorious New Hair Post

As previously mentioned I had a hair cut recently, changing my locks from long to short. Well medium length technically. Anywoo here's a couple of pictures, the first is from the day I cut it and the second it the day after. The stylist curled and poofed and jazzed up my hair with loads of blow drying and products, so what did I do the next day? Straightened it out all! I think the blunt grown out bob is the most fashionable cut of recent times, notably on Abbey Lee Kershaw and Valetine Fillol Cordier. Shame the basterd who did my hair chopped some layers in there too. They just can't help themselves can they?!
