tom ford the teaser

A preview of Tom Ford's opulent AW11 collection was released for us normal folk recently in a short look book video format which I've embedded below for your viewing pleasure. Featuring the top bevy of models the liberally accessorised collection has a distinctly elegant oriental feel, making it a perfect fit for our current theme.

Out Magazine Nov 09/Tom Ford (fashionising)

Nicholas Hoult is a hottie. When I first started watching Skins and saw him, all grown-up with smirk in tow, I seriously (not for the first time) wished I was a late-teen again, so it was a relief when I wikipedia'd him to find out that he's only a few years younger than me :) Traces of the baby-face are visible, reminiscent of his turn in About A Boy, but man it is those blue blue eyes that draw me in. I can only best describe them through the words of Jean M. Auel, "eyes as vividly blue as a deep glacial pool, but warm".

Note: The attire in this editorial is top-notch; I love the texture, pattern & finish of the textiles. That dinner jacket... if only men still dressed this well.

I just received my June/July issue of Russh magazine yesterday featuring the gorgeous Aline Weber on the cover - whom I cannot avoid saying has a very sexy case of fripple-itis going on - only to discover she is aka Lois, the mysterious & lovely student featured in Tom Ford's 'A Single Man'. Imagine pulling up a chair in class next to this bombshell. Aline's beauty is mesmerising in the film, certainly competing with Nicholas Hoult for spunkiest actor in my eyes, and is my inspiration for this blog's virginal week.
