My favourite celebrity fashion blog - Fashion Forum Fortnight

When my short film was shown as part of this years LCF MA_sters showcase, a panel of people were put together to discuss celebrity and fashion. I insisted that Coco's Tea Party was there as this blog is my go to for all things celebrity.

I love the fact that Coco's Tea Party is an analysis of the who, what and why of celebrity fashion, which is not in the vain of pulling the celebrity apart. It is witty but respectful. I'm not that interested in celebrities and what they wear but I like to keep abreast of these things. Ella of Coco's Tea Party makes no secret of her love of celebrities and that passion is reflected in her posts.

The Celebrity Interview - Fashion Forum Fortnight

Due to irritating spamming I've had to put the word verification thingy on. I hope this will reduce 'hot babe', 'get your gizmo here' and 'gay porn' offerings the comment box has had of late.

Which brings me to the celebrity interview. Is it just me or are they all spammed with name, film or latest record just replaced depending on which ever celebrity it is. Most will seem to have some association or ambassador status with Chanel/Estee Laudee. And yet the cycle of celebrity shows no sign of abating.

I'm never sure whether they are the false gods or the gods we deserve. It is hard to imagine not having celebrities but has the constant sharing gone too far? I mean who cares whether Brad or Angelina are arguing or affectionate with each other.

But then I always think of Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor as the couple who created the maelstrom of peering avidly in to the life of stars, particularly as they divorced and then married each other again. I'm looking forward to reading Furious Love! Will there be someone like me in many years to come eagerly awaiting the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie version or has the heyday passed?

Retro car love

Still surrounded by snow in the outer nethers of the capital, and after a slushy wet style shop in London yesterday for a client, I can't think clothes today. Layers and sensible snow wear is not an inspiring look - without my coat to cover up the dullness that lies beneath I'd be in danger of being papped as a bag lady. My central London shopping look was useless for the snow packed streets of home. Today, London and suronds is beset with rain and grey skies, normal business resumed!

So. it was with great cheer that The Luxe Chronicles diverted me from my icy and now wet mire with the news that Citroen is to bring back an updated DS. The DS car is the coolest of the cool and star of many a French nouvelle vague film mainly by chance!


This fashion for retro car revivals is a joy as the updates have all the comfort of modern technology with the soul of past design. My love of French cars of old leads me to make a plea to Renault and bring back the Renault 4 - the car I first fell in love with. My mother had a bright yellow one with a dashboard gear stick. The back seat was really a bench and the car was much loved by the French in the provinces to carry their wares to market! It seems I am not alone, there is a Renault 4 enthusiasts forum!!


What was your first car love and why? Which old banger do you want to see make a return in the 21st century?
