Olivia Palermo in Hello

The gorgeous Olivia, together with her boyfriend, Johannes, were in last week's Hello magazine. In case you didn't see it, here are the photos. What a handsome couple!

Kate in Oxford

Do you like this outfit that the Duchess of Cambridge wore to the Art Room charity in Oxford? 

Coat dress: Orla Kiely
Boots: Aquatalia Rouge

I don't. I like the idea of wearing a coat dress but this one's not my style. I don't like it on her and I don't like the ankle boots, either. I wasn't inspired by this. Sorry, Kate.

Prada in flames

Some of my favourite shoes are from Prada and I was 'window-shopping' online for some pretty heels when I stumbled across these. Flame sandals, they're called.

They cost well over 1000 USD a pair. So what I would like to know is: WHO is crazy enough to buy shoes like these? Please, if you are or you know someone who is, do let me know!

New winter faves

I find winter so depressing. It's too cold to go out so I don't go shopping as often. And trying on clothes is such a pain when you've got layers on. So I went for the easy option and got some make-up and skincare products.

First, a stop at the Laura Mercier counter. I got a sheer red lipstick called Poppy. It's my first lip product from LM. It's hydrating, it goes on smoothly and I love the colour.

Kate in Liverpool

Did you have a romantic Valentine's Day? Well, with William in the Falklands, the Duchess was on her own but she did apparently receive a card and some flowers from him. She spent the day in Liverpool, visiting a children's hospital. She looked lovely in a plain black wool dress and plain brown wool coat, a very down-to-earth and appropriate look.

This and that

Reading magazines is such a treat, I love it. Here are some of the pages I bookmarked. Totally random. 

Bar Rafaeli is another one of those incredibly beautiful and successful women who seem to have it all. She shares some of her beauty must-haves here.

Kate update

Quick update on what the Duchess has been up to lately.

At the National Portrait Gallery. I'm not particularly keen on this dress. The heels are nice, though.
