Drew-ling

So, she's always been cute, extremely likeable and that girl you'd really want to be friends with, but never the girl that you desperately wanted to be. You know the one, whose hair/body/outfit/face (delete as appropriate) you obsess over and covet above everything else? Just me? Ok. So anyway, what the hell happened to Drew Barrymore? Everytime I've seen her photographed recently she looks fantastic: from the Alexa-style, dip-dyed, touseled tresses to the perfect Camilla and Marc trousers she was spotted in for her recent Letterman appearance (concealing her newly honed, toned and tanned pins which she chose to exhibit in a slinky khaki number by the late Alexander McQueen) she looks truly transformed!

There's little else I appreciate more in the world of celebrity than 'swanning' and Drew has certainly done just that. Whether she's Dazzling in glistening Catherine Malandrino at the premier of her newest cinematic venture: 'Going The Distance', or out and about in London sporting a winning jeans and leather jacker combo or even simply in off-duty, casual mode, her style star is shooting, landing her atop tons of 'Best Dressed' lists and I couldn't be more thrilled. Or, if I'm honest, envious.

Congratulations Drew, you've just become 'that' girl and I still can't help but unconditionally adore and want to drink beer, eat peanuts and talk about about "dirty" things with you, like you apparently do with your "girlfriends" (as she reveals in her latest Elle Interview). Oh, and borrow your shoes...and your trainer.


Thankyou.

Vive La Clémence!

Having been cut off from civilisation for a while I've only just discovered that my beloved Clémence Poésy is to play Chuck Bass's new Parisian love interest in Gossip Girl season four. As a long-standing fan/obsessive I can't wait to see how she does and can't think of anyone more perfect for the role. She's definitely going to get the recognition she is due from a huge audience now and I shall unashamedly feel slightly smug that I've adored her since she was Fleur Delacour. I don't know whether it's the hair, the fact she's French, her elusive and dignified attitude in interviews or that everything just seems to work so effortlessly on her. For me, she's the epitome of understated chic: eclectic without it looking laboured, with a clear appreciation for style classics and just scruffy enough to know she's probably not slept nor washed her hair for a few days and is just really good at diguising it. Excuse me whilst I waste the next hour poring over Google images and try desperately to keep my gushing to myself.
