You can’t possibly take your handbag to the beach, so thank goodness for all the basket bags, string bags and beaded bags doing the rounds this season. I’ve selected a few favourites in my Basket Case Edit. Beach setting not compulsory, but they’d definitely enjoy a sandy outing.
Meryl and the trench coat of dreams – Fashion moments from Kramer Vs Kramer
I’ve always wanted a Burberry trench, and Meryl demonstrates just why we all need one in our wardrobes while playing subtly stylish Joanna Kramer in Kramer Vs Kramer. See also, lots of pared-down basics, cream and camel tones, silk blouses worn with pearl earrings, and a courtroom wardrobe that puts all those preened DUI-charged celebs […]
The best minimal sandals to take into summer
I wore a pair of strappy square-toed sandals to my year 9 disco when I was 14. They went to the charity shop some years later, a decision I am regretting now I’m once again lusting after these minimal heels. They’re this summer’s must-have, so I’ve put together an edit of the best available on […]
Style like a Queen. Fashion moments from The Favourite.
I don’t know how The Favourite got on at The Oscars last night. I am currently on media lockdown on account of not staying up until the wee small hours in the UK to watch (I did it for Leo in 2016, but I’m 30 years old, 5am bedtimes are just TOO MUCH). So while […]
Yes you can work some teenage girl style into your adult wardrobes. Fashion moments from The Virgin Suicides.
I’m kicking off this year’s LauLauLand posts with my new monthly StyleXCinema roundup, showcasing all the films I find that are packed with style inspiration. It’s no secret that I’m a little obsessed with The Virgin Suicides (you can find my VS inspired dress here). Sofia Coppola’s masterpiece is iconic in its style. Dreamy, nostalgic […]
Mango gives us Girl with a Pearl Earring vibes with the best collection of earrings on the high street.
There has definitely been a bit of a Mango-aissance over the past few seasons.
RedRum. The Shining inspired outfit.
Sometimes, horror stories come in the form of a bad winter cold on your birthday. I am almost a child of Halloween (born on October 29th and forever wishing as a teen it was October 31st so I could pretend I was a witch) and this month’s frightful situation came with two of the scariest […]
5 female horror movie characters that don’t suck
It’s almost Halloween. That means gorging on candy and gorging on gore, ergo, a marathon of horror movies. It has often been said that female horror characters are a bit – for want of a better word – sucky. But that doesn’t mean they all play to the stereotype of the damsel in distress. Here […]
5 of the best Coppola Girl style moments
Oh, Sofia queen of style. Anyone who’s ever watched a Sofia Coppola film will know the director’s inimitable ability to ooze effortless style. Sofia set the bar high with dreamy directorial debut The Virgin Suicides and then she just kept on going with the likes of Lost in Translation, The Bling Ring and most recently […]
Wild Women Do – The Pretty Woman Inspired Outfit
I have been watching Pretty Woman for so many years I don’t even remember the first time. I’m pretty sure I didn’t understand what was going on when I first watched it as a child, but something in it captivated me. It was probably Julia Roberts, she definitely has that effect. Anyhow, as dated as […]
