BUY: Chanel Les Vernis in Black Pearl, $39, David Jones (but good luck, it’s sold out) I know what you’re thinking: green nails. Yuck. And I would normally agree with you… but this is CHANEL. See, that changes everything. Chanel is known as THE trendsetter for nail trends (amongst other things). That taupe you’re probably wearing? Blame it on Particulière, the star of Chanel’s SS10 runway show. And don’t forget that powdery blue you wore all summer. Yep, that’s all thanks to Nouvelle Vague from the Cruise 2010 collection. So when the models started coming out for the SS11 show, my eyes went straight to their perfectly manicured hands. And then my feet took me straight to the Chanel counter to sign up for the waiting list (that’s right, Chanel has a WAITING LIST for their polish). And voila, now I have Black Pearl in my hot little hand (excuse the pun). The shade is a rich metallic, with just the right amount of shimmer and just dark enough to look almost oily black in some lights, and a pretty bottle-green in others. It’s perfect for all those OPI Lincoln In The Park nail addicts (ahem) who want to shake things up a bit, without saying goodbye to their not-quite-black digits. Plus, Pirates of the Carribean: The Sequel Of The Sequel’s Sequel just came out and it reminds me of Jack Sparrow. Good times all round.

WANT: Christopher Kane Resort 2011 Galaxy Print dress I’m a massive stalker fan of anything and everything Alexa Chung-related and this has to be one of my all-time favourite looks from the coquettish It Brit. I love the contrast of the sexy skintight leather bodice against the flirty A-line cut of the skirt. And that intergalactic print has me seeing stars. Literally. The whole Resort 2011 is divine and I’m really kicking myself for not picking it up at least one twelve pieces when I was in LA. I’m not ashamed to admit I spent the better part of an hour thumbing my way through a crammed rack of Christopher Kane. I’m also not ashamed to admit I spend the better part of my life wishing I was Alexa Chung. Seriously.

BUY: Jeremy Scott x Swatch Winged Watch, $95, swatch.com I put myself on a waiting list for this little baby… And it was well worth it. If the wings are a little OTT, then simply unclip and you’ve got a clean and classic white ticker. Make time fly… (sorry, it’s too good a pun not to use).

WANT: Rodarte for Opening Ceremony Western Boots To go with my Western-style Acne silk shirt, of course. I adore everything about Elin Kling here and can’t wait to try this look on the weekend. There’s something so grungy-cool about the tattered patchwork skinnies against the classic black blazer.

LOVE: Stockholm Street Style + Stella McCartney I have been obsessed with thigh-high splits ever since I pulled together this gallery. I love the swish of the slashed skirt, the sheen of the silk satin and the loose relaxed fit of the bodice. The perfect spring dress.

WANT: Everything from Michael Lo Sordo’s SS11/12 RAFW collection I haven’t been blown away by a show quite like this before. From the softly spiralling smoke print to the breezy, sheer wide-leg trousers, I was hooked from start to finish. A firm favourite amongst this year’s shows.

BUY: Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick, $85, 1800 061 326 I used to always admire my friend Lucy’s shimmering, dewy cheeks and finally asked her one day what blush she used. She uses a Body Shop version, but suggested Bobbi Brown - so naturally when I was in Sephora, I just had to pick it up. Seriously, I don’t know how I ever existed without this. It’s the perfect blend of rosy pinks with just the right amount of illuminising highlighter to bring out those all-important cheekbones. I literally get compliments daily on how fresh and glowing my skin is when I dust this on in the morning.

BUY: Acne Wannabe Suede Top, $480, Opening Ceremony I was determined to buy something from Opening Ceremony in LA, so I handed over the plastic for this luxe silk suede shirt-dress. With the asymmetrical suede patches, I feel strangely Western, while the crisp Mandarin collar makes it fittingly preppy and Oriental. Surprisingly, it goes with everything yet nothing, but I wouldn’t swap it for the world.
