Sporting a cheerful all black look to kick off this fresh new month. For whatever reason I always really like February and after the month I've just had I could really do with some February fun times. Sooo, let's go.

One of the few coat styles still missing from my wardrobe is this "tent coat" style, which I absolutely adore. I know a look like this needs some proper accessorising or one ends up áctually looking like a tent, but it's a challenge I wouldn't mind taking on. Love this image from Vogue Netherlands of Alana Zimmer wearing a Delpozo coat, shot by photographer Alique and styled by Haidee Findlay-Levin.

The Haute Couture Spring 2015 fashion week took place in Paris this week and here's a bit of a sum-up of my favourite looks presented there. With Haute Couture I always realise I don't love fashion for one particular style. I like to be surprised and be wowed. For me, some good romantic fashion can never hurt, though, (as seen here) and Valentino gave us just that. While Christian Dior showed a collection that felt like more of a mixture between feminine shapes and fabrics and more edgy stuff like vinyl thigh-high boots and plastic opera coats. Also, plenty of red carpet potential here. And, seeing as Awards Season is still on, I'm off to make me some new red carpet wishlists!

So, I've already decided on my pick for the Achievement in Cinematography award at the Oscars next month and it's 'Mr. Turner', a film by director Mike Leigh. This film is about the great British painter J.M.W. Turner and although, in my opinion, it lacks a proper story and can therefore feel a little dull at times, it is a bit like watching beautiful paintings coming to life, thanks to the fantastic cinematography by Dick Pope (a name we'll now remember forever, btw, thanks to AMPAS president Cheryl Boone Isaacs, who mispronounced his name and called him 'Dick Poop' at the Oscar nominations earlier this month). So if you're thinking of going to see this film, do not expect a gripping storyline but do let yourself be amazed by the outstanding beautifully filmed scenes instead. Check out the trailer below:
