tali's in style!

When I met Tali in September, I didn't know 'who she is' (Annie Lennox's younger daughter, after Lola) and a real rising star as a model. I just thought she was really sweet, and I took a few shots and she used mine as her facebook portrait and friended me.

So lo and behold, what a treat to be lying in bed with the cat and Mr. Dot on Day Two of 2011, reading my favourite Style section in the Times, drinking coffee, and who should I see in a feature as the next rising star, but Tali Lennox! She's the new face of Topshop and Burberry and my new New Year's Resolution is do to a fashion shoot with her.

Jesus Rocks, and Louis is everywhere. Louis Vuitton, that is. I don't know why: could be a random coincidence, but it seems like everyone I've come across recently is sporting a classic LV monogram bag, in varying shapes, forms, and sizes. Any idea why that is? Is it just me? I thought IT bags were so over, and it was meant to be all about shoes. But maybe that's the point: when the economy is in meltdown, perhaps people stick with what is safe, and there's nothing more classic (apart from a Tiffany engagement ring) than a LV

When were at the coast yesterday, freezing on the shore near the White Cliffs of Dover, I read a brilliant article in the London Times Style section, by Shane Watson, called the new trend for wearable clothes. It's so what I've been thinking for a while, and couldn't have said it better myself. I'd so love to hear your thoughts on the subject.

Love this girl's fringe top with the studded 'jesus rocks' suede belt and denim skirt. They were having such an intense chat - about boys, I'm sure - that I didn't want to interrupt with a posed shot. I prefer un-posed, frankly. Photo taken in Hyde Park, near the Serpentine.
