You make me feel like dancing: Kate lets her hair down at Fran Cutler’s bday in London. It’s an 80’s Dynasty theme.

“Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.” – Kate Moss

That’s some classic Kate Moss for you.  Probably think about it before you bite in to that giant chocolate bar (don’t let them win).  The 90’s supermodel waif is best known for her meteoric rise from Croyden schoolgirl to catwalk sensation/fashion icon but the best urban legends surrounding Moss are of her party girl ways.  Known to have thrown lavish all night drinking-dances incorporating themes (Great Gatsby) or musicians (Oasis) to highlight decades of her life, her reputation took a hit with a tabloid drug scandal a few years back.  Since then, Kate has simmered down considerably but most recently she was quoted, “I may be 40, but I still know how to party.”  Attagirl!

Let’s take a look back at some** of Kate’s best party girl looks, shall we?

**I say some because she partied a lot and she wore a lot of reallyx3 cute outfits…

Kate Moss circa 1993 in a metallic Liza Bruce slipdress. Whenever you’re flat-chested, it comes off less slutty more fashion, non?

St. Tropez or Bust: Often Kate takes the party to the beach, or a yacht, etc.

SJP makes you look from all angles. Love the styling, the Oscar de la Renta dress, to the shape of the hair to the opera gloves.

Darlings, this post is like a library book…way past overdue. And I’m not going to address the elevator scandal overshadowing the fashion because I’ve heard about the Beygency.  The theme of this year’s Met Gala 2014, was a tribute to Charles James, who according to WWD is “America’s best-known couturier.” This being the case, you would expect a lot of classic, opulent and elegant ball gowns of the socialite variety.

While I don’t know if they necessarily evoke the theme of this year’s event, these are my faves.  There are a lot of crop top combinations and slinky silhouettes which is très 90’s.  Enjoy!

Crop top! Emma Stone rocks a side braid and pink on pink Thakoon.

I have been championing the maxi length and crop top/bustier combo for a while now. I think it’s going to hit mainstream this year. (fashion prediction) TRUST.

Rihanna shows off her enviable abs in a white Stella McCartney ensemble.

Risqué Nicole Richie in Donna Karan. She kind of looks like Elsa from Frozen, non?

A kaleidoscope of D’Orsay flats from Jenni Kayne

You know how you see women wearing running shoes en route to work, then changing to high heels?  Promise me, you’ll never be that woman.  God invented ballet flats for a reason.  And this season, the D’Orsay flat is hitting the mainstream.

Bonjour sexy! D’Orsay High Heel in a suede colour block

This style of shoe is named after Count Alfred d’Orsay, a 19th Century gentleman about town and an artist friend of Lord Byron. The cut-out sides were introduced to accommodate wider feet but this style has been widely adopted in women’s footwear.  Made with a vamp that curves around closely to the foot, exposing the instep (ahem shoe porn). While we see this a lot in high heels, last season Jenni Kayne‘s version of the D’Orsay flat has made this one beloved look to watch!

She’s a fan: Jessica Alba is often spotted wearing various colours of the JK D’Orsay flat. Jalouse.

I’m partial to the texture of these Jeffrey Campbell In Love Flats

I love the dramatic retro `60s cat eyeliner and pale lipstick

I blame my friend S for my ruin.  She gently twisted my arm and we bought stellar tickets to Beyoncé.  She only gets reallyx3 good tickets to concerts.  She wants to see them up close and personal.  She wants to see them sweat.  But now that I’ve been spoiled, I can’t go backwards and every time I get tickets to something, I need to be right up in the action.  Slippery slope and it’s what I like to call a shame spiral.

Of all the bands and artists I have yet to see, I put it out there that I would like to see Lana Del Rey.  Lo and behold, the universe delivered in the form of a Live Nation alert.  So I bit the bullet and I’m going to see her do her gangster-Nancy Sinatra thing in the Spring (a rhyme).

Here is a playlist of my faves on repeat…  She will be releasing a new album in 2014 Ultraviolence

1. Summer Wine – with James Barrie O`Neill (cover of Nancy Sinatra = fun!)
2. Ride
3. Yayo
4. Blue Velvet
5. Ridin`- with ASAP Rocky
6. Bel Air
7. Bonus: Link to her short film Tropico

Head tilt: Lana del Rey for H&M

Lana Del Rey in Vogue Italia

Quintessential Lana Del Rey is a dramatic eye. I like it when they also style her hair with waves via Vogue Japan

Toro! She collaborated with Baz Luhrman on Young & Beautiful for the Great Gatsby soundtrack. She’s channelling a bullfighter non?

The Palazzo Pant: Jessica Hart perfectly pairs her floral palazzos with a crochet crop top. I’ll house you! Very 90’s.

“Are you happy to see me, or are those printed pants?”  haha. I thought that was pretty clever.  Darlings, the fashionistah adventuress among you, let’s huddle close to stave off these mean winter blues.  Even though it’s supposedly Spring, the double digit sub zero weather would have us believe otherwise.  While I can’t wear any of my fab Spring/Summer finds just yet, I am amassing a secret arsenal of veryx3 fun outfits to sport galavanting whilst vintage shopping, having drinks al fresco or at a friends’ barbecue.

One of my favourite up and coming trends for Spring is the printed pant.  This Spring promises to be bright and colourful with a throwback to retro silhouettes.  Forget that we just had a blizzard mid-March.  Are you excited yet?  Can your wardrobe handle it?

Olivia Palermo shows us how its done matching her black fur-trimmed jacket, printed floral pants and leopard pumps.

I’m quite partial to bohemian and ethnic prints. Try these ones from Free People

Print Joggers – Have that Eat.Pray.Love /just got back from India vibe. Maison Scotch Mix Print Trouser

Did you just leave your house wearing pyjamas? Maybe. Etro printed silk pants

Zora Printed Trouser – Pastels will also be huge for Spring. Try blush pink and soft gelatos. Yum.

Jared Leto winning his Oscar for Dallas Buyers Club. He got his looks from his mama.

Besides daisies, plaid and 90’s nostalgia becoming all the rage, everyone is all about Jared Leto and his lustrous manlocks.  For those of us who are  old young enough to remember, his claim to fame was starring as Jordan Catalano on my So-Called Life.  He was the quintessential aloof pretty boy leaning on walls, distracted, being reallyx3 attractive from all angles, object of Angela Chase’s unrequited love and the bad boy of our collective dreams.  He had a few years where he pursued his music with 30 Seconds to Mars and we all forgot what a sexy babe he is.

But he’s been drinking the blood of innocents and that’s what you look like when you’ve made a pact with Beelzebub.  Some of his memorable looks today and yesterday.  Enjoy!

Jordan Catalano: “You could, have sex with me though…” {Angela laughs} “…if you really want to help.” {Angela gets up, laughing} “I guess that’s a ‘no’?”

Rockstar commitment: Not long ago, Jared had a pink Mohawk. Here he is performing in Wales with 30 Second to Mars circa 2010.

Real men wear buns, not of the ballerinka variety. Jared chez the Golden Globes

Dress it up or dress it down…it still look fiiiiine. Jared as beachbum Jesus rocker. Whoever is conditioning his hair right now, “BRAVO”

You’re welcome.
