Peaches Geldof @ Gareth Pugh for MAC Launch

Oh, Peaches, how I've been ogling your style from the safe barrier of my computer screen, to avoid a restraining order, as of late. This new found obsession could in fact inspire at least three more similar posts in which I rave about Ms.Geldof's blossoming style, but I could imagine that would be too monotonous so I'll stick to the one, shall I?

Along with a flush of radiance and a tousled, blonde bob, Peaches' look has also taken a turn for the best. She attended the launch of Gareth Pugh for MAC back in December (almost a month ago, I apologise for my delay in copping to such noteworthy events). She wore a dress that could only be described as what Wednesday Addams at 21 would wear - a slim-fitting black, floor length creation by Alessandra Rich. Discreet detailing and minimal accessorising ; a daring slit up the leg, a crochet peter pan collar complete with beautiful lace detailing on the back, and a Mulberry clutch in hand. 

Simple, elegant with a hint of darkness - pulled off effortlessly. Top marks!

Dudley O'Shaughnessy: Fashion's New It Boy

The new model on everyone's mind is London born Dudley O'Shaughnessy. The 21 year old former boxer shot to fame after starring alongside Rihanna in her music video for We Found Love. 

It's no surprise to see what all the fuss is about; those prominent, perfectly sculpted cheekbones, his piercing sea-green eyes and that pout defines this boy's unique beauty, as well as the peroxide crop that clashes aesthetically with his dark skin.

Dudley has already graced the London Fashion Week catwalks, worked with clients such as Fred Perry, Stone Island and Oswald Boateng and is now being signed with United Agents, an acting talent agency, saying he'd like to appear in the Twilight series. 

The future's bright for this one!

ABBEY LEE KERSHAW'S LUX HIPPY STYLE

Back in December 2009, when I was beginning to curb my growing hunger for fashion, I discovered a model known as Abbey Lee Kershaw. Pictures of the stunning, gap toothed, mousy haired girl littered the first copy of Vogue I ever bought (Australian Vogue as I was in New Zealand) and I was hooked.
Abbey's popularity has boomed since then and she is now a regular on catwalks and is in nearly every bloody fashion campaign at the moment, including Gucci, Versace for H&M, and Versace's fragrance Yellow Diamond to name but a few.

The Austrailian model's hair has also morphed from her plain, natural hair into a Chanel bob to, finally, her shoulder length platinum blonde 'do she's been sporting for a good while now.
Along with her boom in popularity over the past few years, Abbey's style has really started to emancipate. She has a unique, kooky style but not in a "deliberately zany" way. Favouring floor length skirts in a variety of patterns, glamorous jewellery and at least one luxury item, Abbey's style is like a smartly dressed hippy.
Her look is always topped off with barely-there hair either left down or pulled into a low bun.

I admire Abbey's style. She hasn't let herself succumb to conformity, and at the same time, doesn't try so hard to be different. Kudos to you, Abbey.
