Escaping winter in more way than one....

Hi there! 

Hot topic in the LHIFTG world at the moment: supermodel Kate Moss’s wedding to Jamie Hince!  If you haven’t caught up with the goss, Vogue Australia have all the pictures and a blow by blow account of who was wearing what, for what part of the amazing three day wedding.  Kate looked absolutely stunning in her vintage inspired Galliano dress, with the designer himself making a surprise appearance at the nuptials.  Her handsome groom looked sharp and polished in dusk blue Yves Saint Laurent.  Check out all of the photos here. 

With the shortest day behind us, it’s still a little while until we can start looking forward to warmer weather (and wearing ethereal dresses a la Kate!).  Colder weather means inside activities, so I went off to the movies to see "Bridesmaids" a tale about Annie, whose messy personal life threatens to destroy her best friend's wedding plans.  I was really looking forward to this movie, my friends who had seen it absolutely raved about how funny it was and I was definitely in the market for a big laugh-out session.

The movie didn’t disappoint.  But it didn’t really wow me either.  I spent a large portion of the movie cringing into my hands as gags were overly drawn out.  I’m no script spoiler, but the aeroplane scene was just painful, with the inevitable outcome easily seen by the audience many minutes before it eventually came.  Megan (played by Melissa McCarthy) was my favourite.  Brash, rude, outspoken, she definitely had all of the jokes and gags that I found funny.  All in all, it was a good movie for a cold night.  Would I see it again?  No.  Should you see it?  Yes.

Speaking of the colder weather, a lot of conversation has been had within the Let’s hear it for the girls team about how to keep warm in winter, yet still look fabulous and chic.  There is definitely a tendency to exit the house looking quite like a Michelin Man.  While many will argue that your best and most stylish defence against chills is a beautiful coat, while I don’t disagree, I think I might have found an even better answer.  A longline slip, like this one here from Ezibuy, has been my winter saviour!  It goes under every dress, leaving a sleek silhouette.  But the best part, the slip is like a second skin, keeping you super toasty without all the excess layering!  Even wear it as a mini, teamed with a loose top, scarf and tights for a casual brunch look. 

Keep warm and see you next week!
