Mulberry 2010
‘The season’s inspiration is a dreamy take on schoolgirl crushes and fairground iconography sharpened with teen angst. Accessories in a palette of the most delicious sun bleached colours and summer brights mix with whimsical prints found on our womenswear, scarves and footwear.’
And big hair.

Alexa Chung: Best dressed 2009
Recently, MTV reformatted a quirky talk show – It’s On With Alexa Chung – into a half hour sound byte mess; losing their star in the process. Then they quietly canceled it.
I don’t watch much television these days – because finding something smart on the tube is becoming more and more difficult. And one thing I loved about Alexa’s program: It was smart. It was also silly, goofy, with a host who wasn’t afraid to show that she’s not just a pretty face.
And frankly, we need more smart here in the US.
Importing Alexa from the UK, just part of the plan. (there is a plan, right?)
Luckily, we haven’t heard the last of Alexa Chung – there’s a rumor floating around that MTV has yet another show in development (get it right this time please); and (no surprise) as of last week, Alexa tops Vogue’s 2009 Best Dressed list.
Plus: Here’s some of what she wore on her program – and here’s a blog that simply gets Alexa’s style.
The US knows what to do with talent, right? (anyone??)
