From one Lily to Another

I am loving the song Alfie by Lily Allen at the moment. Its such a cute song with such an upbeat tune - however not so cute if you listen to the lyrics. Youtube it, there is one creepy-ass puppet in it though!
On the subject of Lily Allen, I thought I would do a quick style file on her.

Prom dress and trainers? Classic Lily Allen.

The first of many, many Chanel frocks

Cute candy-striped dress with wayfarers and white wedges for NBC concert

Armand Basi outfit, Chanel accessories and YSL heels

A fierce Luella number for the designer’s spring/summer 2008 show

Pink Chanel dress with matching Chanel quilted bag Louboutin ankle boot and for Lily as she attends the Chanel fashion show in Paris

Layering chiffon and sequins over tough jeans and willies for Glastonbury and a brilliant blunt fringe and sunglasses combo.

Black Chanel dress with stunning Givenchy coat

A black and metallic look with a gorgeous sixties fringe

Lily favours vintage lace and babydoll cut for this year’s NME awards

Leave a comment telling me your favourite out of these outfits. I've always been a fan of her outfit that she wore to the Chanel fashion show in Paris but her Glastonbury outfit is really growing on me, and of course the Givenchy coat - stunning.

Lily Cole

Lily Cole was born in Torbay, England on May 19, 1988 and she was raised in London.

Tiffany & Co '08

A chance encounter began her modelling career when she was fourteen. She was walking through the streets of Soho after a hamburger with friends when scout-turned actor Benjamin Hart approached her.

Pop Magazine '09


Lily ran, fearing she was being chased by 'some dodgey guy' but after being asked if she considered modelling she accepted and was signed on with Storm Models, the mother agency of supermodels such as Kate Moss and Cindy Crawford.

Uk Harper's Bazaar '09



Lily's big break came almost immediately in 2003 when she caught the eye of photographer Steven Meisel who was captivated by Lily's long limbs, porcelain skin and fiery red hair. It was on that photoshoot, her first 'only girl' story for Italian Vogue that Lily was catapulted into the spotlight as one of the leading new faces of the year.

Face of Rimmel '09

Since then, Lily has worked with many of the industries most noted photographers and she is featured regularly in top fashion magazines.

French Elle '10


She is a catwalk favourite on the international runway circuit for top fashion houses.


One of the reasons Lily Cole is one on my favourite models is that her education remains a top priority for her so she takes only a hand-picked selection of jobs so that she can focus on her education. She achieved straight A's in all of her A-level examination in English, History, Drama, Philosophy and Ethics and wishes to study Politics at University.

Lily joined Lady Gaga and Andrew Garfield in a recreation of Hansel and Gretal for American Vogue '09. I think it deserves more than just a quick mention as some absolutely amazing photos were produced.


Recently it has been revealed that Lily is considering leaving modelling for acting. After seeing those photos I hope that you will agree with me that I sincerely hope she doesn't!

The Old-Fashioned Girls Did It Best.


"I never thought I'd land in pictures with a face like mine."
 -Audrey Hepburn

























"I never thought of myself as an icon. What is in other people's minds is not in my mind. I just do my thing."
- Audrey Hepburn























"I don't want to dress up a picture with just my face."
- Grace Kelly











There is only one word that can be used to describe these true style icons - 'classy'

Emma Watson

Emma Watson has made headlines recently with her new pixie crop style hair with the statement "it feels great" I've wanted to do it for years".
Well... It will certainly take a bit of getting used to. I'm not sure if I like it yet as I loved her hair before.

     In fact I think she is one of the best style icons. Here are a few of my favourite photos of her...



Oh, and her as the face of burberry - Amazing!


Italian Vogue? Emma can do that too...
