One of the biggest style icons of last century, and one half of an uber glamourous 'It' couple from the 60s, is Talitha Getty. A muse to Yves Saint Laurent and known for mixing couture with boho/hippy chic, Talitha married Paul Getty (heir to the Getty oil fortune) in 1966. From there on in, it was a life of glamour, high fashion and excess. The couple were known for mixing with fashion and celebrity royalty and holding ultra glamourous soirees at their Moroccan home.  Talitha died from a heroin overdose in 1971 (so there was a huge downside to all that glamour and excess) but not before influencing fashion trends for many years to come. You can still see her influence in some of todays 'It' girls such as Sienna Miller and Kate Moss and most noticeably, Nicole Richie, a perfect example of how to do 'boho couture' well.

Confessions of a Shopaholic

I'm looking forward to seeing this movie. I haven't read the Spohie Kinsella Shopaholic series, I'm purely looking forward to seeing the Patricia Fields' inspired fashion. The outfits look kooky, a little crazy and rather unique. You wouldn't expect anything less from Patricia Fields.

Has anyone else noticed how much colour seems to be creeping into our homes and fashion trends lately? I'm a huge Missoni fan and have never been shy of adding colour in my house, so I'm loving this current passion for colour. Whether it be bold mirror frames or whole walls, or just some colourful throw cushions, I love it! Now if I could only afford that Missoni rug......
