Abbey Lee Kershaw eclectic foho

I love Abbey Lee Kershaw's eclectic style. She pulls off the thrown-together look with complete authenticity - like in this street style shot with folkish embroidery, lace tights, brown leather boots and coat with faux fur trim.

bring on Summer

As much as I love the wardrobe options that Autumn and Winter afford, seeing a sun kissed Masha Novoselova oozing sex appeal with bombshell hair and styling consisting of exposed midriffs and cutaway clothing only has me longing to board a flight to a villa beside the Med.

Miranda Kerr perfection from GQ

American GQ believe they've found the not-so-secret formula to selling copies of their magazine: take one supermodel, preferably of the Victoria's Secret variety, strip her down to her bare essentials (or nothing) as not to be outdone by European titles' nudity tangent, work the word 'sex' into a headline and place it (obviously) next to said model on the cover. It's a formula bound to find success, and one we're definitely appreciative of as GQ makes Australian model Miranda Kerr their June 2010 cover girl.

Infused with nudity it may be, though while Miranda's perfect-as-a-peach bum makes a showing we're not yet sure it'll live up to previous instances of Miranda throwing off her girl-next-door image such as her time at the beach for Victoria's Secret or her recent shoot for i-D.

Stolen Moments & Lladro figurines

Stolen Moments is the title of the Sretsis Spring 2010/2011 lookbook; and stolen moments they are. If each little scene, with its porcelain whites, pastel pinks and dove greys, frozen in time and on its own little patch of ground, reminds you of something then that something is probably a Lladro figurine. Such was the inspiration behind the collection.

The pieces are utterly pretty and feminine - I particularly love the sheer skirts with scalloped hems, hearts and cute pussy-cat prints (so very Miu Miu). But most of all do I love that colour palette... it's like silk chiffon spun from fairy-floss.

Pretty meets punk

The floral print on this bow headband is a little like your grandma's Victorian-era furniture upholstery (not such a bad thing in my book); while the addition of little skulls adds a twist of attitude. This gorgeous model's name is Polina Sova; the photographer Wilfredo Alexander.

If Tom Ford designed tampon packs

..this is what they'd look like. Except they'd probably be made of rare genuine ostrich skin and crocodile leather, and would set you back a few grand a pop. So no, these are not Tom Ford but a well designed and unique little accessory that quickly grows on you as an elegant way to carry around, well, you-know-what. At a minimal price.

The aptly (if not so subtly) named Tampurse is an accessory which proves to be both practical and aesthetic. The Tampurse closes firmly and keeps all your 'feminine items' from spilling around in your bag (and let's face it, there's nothing worse than reaching into your bag for your purse and having rogue tampons jump out like little white ninjas onto the checkout counter). There are some slightly over-glamorous designs that I wouldn't personally use - but the vintage inspired selection look like they might just as easily carry the slim cigarettes of some 1940s screen starlet.

Daria Werbowy fringed

And you thought exposed midriff couldn't be elegant... well, you were wrong. It's not just for trash-glam teens, pool parties, and aerobic workouts. If nothing else, Daria Werbowy proves that the humble tie-front shirt can be sophisticated enough to take you to day, night, office, wherever, you name it.

In fact this whole pictorial from Vogue US is about simple elegance, with refined pieces like tailored man-style pants, classic trench coats, and sporty-casual slouch tops. Daria's long hair is matched with a fringe; a look we're not accustomed to, though of course she looks great as usual.
