Lola Re & The Whatnot

WE'RE PLASTIC BUT WE STILL HAVE FUN

PEOPLE! Look at Lady Gaga's latest music video for Paparazzi. I try and keep this blog very focused on fashion but obviously, music and fashion are linked, and music videos and fashion add even another layer to that.

I LOVE that she's speaking Swedish! This video reminds me of Bret Easton Ellis and his book Glamourama. Crazy and twisted and gross underneath but shiny and sexy outside.

Just to continue the 70s vibe, and the freaky obsessed vibe, and the fashion and music vibe, here is some vintage live Debbie Harry. Alright!

Who among us can deny the connection between music and fashion?

It's Debbie Harry! Awesome, another one Kate can do. I'm currently in love with the 70s, so this cover is right on time for me. xoxoxo

Lola's Watching: Anna Wintour on 60 Minutes

She seems very likable to me here. Maybe that's the point of the interview! She seems to expect excellence and work very hard for it herself. I personally think communicating your high expectations of someone is one of the greatest compliments. Fascinating.

Audrey Tatou for Chanel No. 5

If this advert is any indication, Ms. Tatou is going to be fantastic in her upcoming film Coco Before Chanel, directed by Anne Fontaine. Highly anticipated!

Lola Wants Candy

Have you guys seen Sophia Coppola's Marie Antionette? It's sumptous, pampered eye candy full of beautiful garments, shoes, champagne... and cake! :o) I am definitely loving it. Check the montage.

Shiseido Benefiance Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream

When it comes to eye cream, I don't f£ck around.

Blue Lizard Suncream

Blue Lizard makes my favorite suncream of all time, and that includes the more expensive creams. What I look for is: high sun protection that disappears into the skin, physical sunscreen (chemical sunscreens can cause irritation), and a product that's great for sensitive skin. Blue Lizard does all that and smells good too! I need to find a stockist in London... :'(

Love the Look --Film Inspiration

Remember The Thing Called Love? It was a 90s film starring River Phoenix, about young country music stars. The clothes are now more relevant than ever. yumiloveit. :o)

Designer Spotlight: Mina UK

What can I say, another UK-based designer with hot little dresses (and harem pants). These are original to me, after looking at so many acid washed jeans and latex leggings. I don't know if I love it or think it's out in left field? Interesting food for thought though.. I would wear all of these pieces, probably with Doc Martens to tough it up a bit.

Love,
Lola Re

How cool is the lampshade/wallpaper fabric? I would never choose it in a fabric store but it works!

Very cool tuxedo dress; the silver skirt is actually really shimmery and iridescent in person.

I really want the dress on the left, and the right one looks vintage but its new-- everyone wins! :oP xoxoxo

Just Bead It
