Film directors doing fashion ads – Yorgos Lanthimos does Gucci
Film directors are no strangers to fashion ads. They’re often a beautiful marriage between style and cinema, one that we’re going to visit from time to time in a new series on LauLauLand, Film Directors Doing Fashion Ads (ingeniously titled, I know). First up is Yorgos Lanthinmos, a name that went stratospheric last year thanks […]
Puff sleeve tops you need to channel your inner Marie Antoinette.
So I know that recreating a look from Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette is out of the question when it comes to everyday dressing, but there is something you can take from the screen into your wardrobe, and that is puff sleeves. They are everywhere this season, from little milkmaid blouses to power sleeve tees, and […]
The Lisbon Sister – The Virgin Suicides inspired look
I first found The Virgin Suicides when I was about 16. For some reason, I’ve always been drawn to the macabre (I grew up listening to Radiohead), and I was entranced by the dreamy, romantic vision of these five sisters and their beautifully sad story. Although it was the first feature for director Sofia Coppola, […]
It’s gettin’ hot in here. This is the most popular swimsuit this summer.
Remember that figure-skimming, cut out crinkle dress that Julia Roberts is wearing when we first see her in Pretty Woman? It was created by babe brand Hunza, who has since relaunched and have taken that gorge stretch fabric to the beach with some swimwear. It has spawned a wave of lookalikes this season, and I’ve […]
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 […]
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 […]
