Following up yesterday’s Italian post with another - this time with the caramel tones of Italian socialite Bianca Brandolini. If you don’t know her she’s kind of a European version of Olivia Palermo – expensive accessories, tanned limbs and killer smile.

As a fashion student I was obsessed with Missoni prints and on visiting the Missoni Hotel in Edinburgh, I’ve fallen in love again.

Ah wardrobe envy. > read more

Guess who? Never thought we’d be saying this but PARIS HILTON is looking good. A blunt fringe replaces her standard-issue sweeping fringe and the nod to fetish fashion makes her looked like a sexed-up Bardot. See all the pics at: V Magazine Hair: Luigi Murenu for John Frieda > read more
