Chanel Haute Couture - It's The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of.

Fashion was invented for haute couture. And I'm fairly certain that Karl Lagerfeld was invented to give the world this:

Chanel Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2010-2011

I adore it when Chanel does red.

And two of my favourites were there! Leighton Meester and Clemence Poesy.

Oh MY.

Did anybody else open this month's issue of Vogue and actually gasp at how stunning the new Chanel campaign is? Not just me, I hope. Oh. My. God. There is red. Red dresses. Red and black and that ridiculously beautiful green-gold bag (Gregory, if you're reading this - I want one for Christmas please?) I cannot find the campaign photos, so I'll post these from the last Cruise Collection instead - Chanel's Cruise Collection is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful things that Karl Lagerfeld creates.

She's A Lady

Many congratulations to Lara Stone and David Walliams, who got married yesterday. Lara wore a £30,000 Givenchy couture dress, and let's face it, what is the point of getting married unless you can wear £30,000 worth of couture? I'm still not certain why a babe like her would want to marry a moron like David Walliams, but each to their own.

I love Lara Stone; she is one of my favourite models and no doubt she'll get a model crush post soon enough. She's just got this super cool vibe going on that I'm completely jealous of. Plus she was in what is personally my favourite of Karl Lagerfeld's short films (search Lara Stone Chanel on Youtube). It doesn't get much better than that.

Finally, something I'm good at...

Procrastinating is probably the only skill that I have down to T. What a depressing thought. Even now as I write this I have an essay (due in in less than 12 hours) that needs writing. I really need to sort myself out.

Perhaps choosing to study English Literature at university was a bad choice. I should've realised from the start that the course involved copious essay writing. In my defense, nobody warned me that it was all coursework and no exams (as a procrastinator, I far, far prefer exams - there's a structured length of time and it doesn't really leave room for putting off). Essay writing is just so tedious. "Look at the way the body as a space changes with landscape and interior and exterior spaces in The Awakening and Thelma and Louise"? Why do I need to answer this? Who wants to read that, seriously?

So, in my last moment of rest before I attempt to tackle that most gripping of subjects - American 'Space and Place' Literature - here are a few pictures that, each in their own way, make me a little bit happy.

I think my mask of sanity is about to slip
