NATALIE PORTMAN DOES V. AND DOES IT V WELL.

Wow - Natalie Portman looks incred on the cover of the latest V magazine, out now.

Not only was the shoot from Mario Testino, beautiful Natalie was styled by London's Claire Richardson. A sprinkling of homegrown Brit talent flying the flag, woop!

And Portman should work with Claire as much as poss judging by her look in the shoot. Edgy, cool and badass sexy. Amaze.

I'm a bit in love with her hair and make up too, thought it would only work on a girl with her cheekbones. BOOO.

Enjoy the lovely pics!

SPARKLY LOVELY RINGS

I was perusing Marie Claire's ace 10 Best Series and came across their 10 best rings selection. Now my boyfriend doesn't regularly read my blog (tut tut) but just so as not to scare him, these are not hints but just pretty things I like...and would like even more in a couple of years. LOL!

Anyway, aren't these rings gorgeous? Timeless and sparkly and beautiful.

My fave (top pic) is the amazing vintage ring circa 1925. Square cut, packed with diamonds and 1.35 carats worth in total. YUM. Though scarily expensive. Eek!

For any of you lucky ladies getting hitched it seems it's worth looking around for some vintage pieces.

Lush.

MY NEW FAVOURITE SHOP: THE LITTLE WARDROBE

You know the feeling when you discover a real gem of a shop and you're torn between keeping it a secret and sharing the love? Well lucky for you, I've decided to share :)

The Little Wardrobe is a super sweet boutique based in Daniels in Windsor. With a huge array of cute dresses, it caught my eye straight away. Excellent service from the owner added to it's charm - passionate about the shop's offering and clearly loves the stock.

I walked away with a gorgeous sailor bandeau dress and a flower covered front zip dress. Even better, today was a 25% off day - woohoo!

I'm planning to team the flower dress with a chunky black belt and pixie boots to edge it up a bit and I'm sure my sailor dress will become a holiday staple. Ahoy!

Oh and just to add to the loveliness, look at the gorgeous bag you get to take your purchases home in! CUTE!

Check it out - The Little Wardrobe, Windsor.

I even found the facebook group: http://www.facebook.com/search/?q=the+little+wardrobe&init=quick#/group.php?gid=11043365185&ref=search&sid=223403529.4115816672..1

PROOF THAT AGGY IS PERFECTION

Even changing from her trademark shocking blonde to unexpected black locks, Agyness Deyn still looks incredible!

This pic was taken at the premier of 'Coco before Chanel', a biopic of the lovely CC herself starring Audrey Tatou, another fashion crush of mine.

The outfit, the hair, the boots, the lace, the look...I am ever so jealous. And yet I still love her!

GO AGGY!

WOWSER - VIVIENNE WESTWOOD WALLPAPER

Omg how exciting - now you can have a whole WALL of Vivienne Westwood flair. Ok so you can't wear it anywhere but hell, who wants to go out when you can look at pretty things all the live long day?!

The designs are really varied - some super cute and some with a harder egde. But all are unmistakably British and unequivocally Westwood. Even the press shots make me all excited. Lush.

£55 a roll from Cole & Son, tha range is launching September 27th at Focus - the interior design show. It's held at the Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour and I have a feeling there will be a queue!
