The British luxury fashion brand showed many versions of the leather biker at their Spring 2011 show.

You may have seen the studded biker from <a href="http://frillsandthrills.blogspot.com/2011/03/tuesday-thrills-studded-biker-jackets.html">this post</a> I did, which was worn by Britney Spears for her 'Til the world ends' music video, Emma Roberts for Elle magazine and Cindy Crawford for Vogue Mexico. The black leather jacket featured here has quilted panels, multiple zip detail, press-stud fastenings and zip-up sleeves. This heavy-weight runway piece can be worn over just about anything, as shown below. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqASnQLqCK5gQfnWrWqL_9DY1kF1jHTrchx0FrsYtUjPGsezxBdn8o-F-iv42k1PsB-2oipf9hV9_GrdjwUNg3pDnveKc8QCUJrOorUWJVDVgkiLsZYzw77z04yeGPgjVzxn2GDUkFIo0/s1600/celeb+style+burberry+jacket.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqASnQLqCK5gQfnWrWqL_9DY1kF1jHTrchx0FrsYtUjPGsezxBdn8o-F-iv42k1PsB-2oipf9hV9_GrdjwUNg3pDnveKc8QCUJrOorUWJVDVgkiLsZYzw77z04yeGPgjVzxn2GDUkFIo0/s640/celeb+style+burberry+jacket.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: auto;"><div style="text-align: auto;">Keira Knightly paired the double-breasted jacket with a burgundy top, grey loose fitting pants, a tan bag and brogues.</div><div style="text-align: auto;"> <div style="text-align: auto;">Style Icon Alexa Chung wears her biker with cropped black trousers, a polka dot blouse, black scarf and studded oxford shoes.

Who Wore Marchesa Better?

Demi, Serena, Georgina all dressed in Marchesa This gorgeous bright pink Marchesa dress was worn by three different celebrities over the past year. The suede fuchsia frock features pretty paisley appliqués and an open back, which is followed by ruffled tiers. It is from Marchesa's Fall 2010 RTW Collection. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfbug_1VbWLytY-asxEg25KYpOFu9EdbP5T5ySTfAg1tDKz__0nZL_iDWlMIhBixd181cntLK67ccub3fv6xSNj-dl8hk6EGefb_lB_JNMJCrqhzVQOwGca7V0Qz8386TS6Dqcg1hTcFQ/s1600/pink+marchesa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfbug_1VbWLytY-asxEg25KYpOFu9EdbP5T5ySTfAg1tDKz__0nZL_iDWlMIhBixd181cntLK67ccub3fv6xSNj-dl8hk6EGefb_lB_JNMJCrqhzVQOwGca7V0Qz8386TS6Dqcg1hTcFQ/s640/pink+marchesa.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> The first to wear it was Demi Moore, back in April 2010. The backless design is really show stopping. Demi paired the dress with shiny silver Brian Atwood courts and an embellished Roger Vivier clutch. Blake Lively aka Serena van der Woodsen was styled in the same dress on the set of Gossip Girl for the 'Petty in Pink' episode. I'm glad she wore her hair in a high ponytail with it. Finally, Marchesa co-founder, Georgina Chapman wore her own creation last month, with suede ivory lace-up heels by Christian Louboutin. The dress was originally photographed on Canadian model Addison Gill (far right). I don't like the chunky navy heels with such a girly dress. Personally, I adore this dress, and not only for the outstanding colour. It's stunning from the front, and when see it from the back, it's even better. No wonder it made a trio of stylish star appearances.

Tuesday Thrills - Love & Toast

Love & Toast Beauty Brand If there's any beauty brand to catch a glamour girl's eye, Love & Toast has to be it. It's a range of bath and body products that you can't just walk past in stores. You have to stop, stare and take in all of its whimsical beauty.  Newly available in South Africa, Love & Toast is the artistic creation of Margot Elena, who also brought us Bloom and ToykoMilk. Her vision for Love & Toast was inspired by a variety of influences, including Japanese, Swedish and 80's iconography. The adorable packaging has a 'Brit Pop Folk Art' look to it. I would happily keep stacks of these products on display in my room. Another positive is that the packaging is environmentally friendly and recyclable. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVP78gxY5AjEUZ0fUViPiaEhWvMg3r4EI_fxniiThr8xInt7Nl2AvnI6kIkOFrWB7PuoI3fIfxtkE7MY743pku4PMxmbT7dUNtWAj657iBo6KzJfG4of3ziVkc2JlsJEzfRsTG9ijU4UM/s1600/love%2526toast.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVP78gxY5AjEUZ0fUViPiaEhWvMg3r4EI_fxniiThr8xInt7Nl2AvnI6kIkOFrWB7PuoI3fIfxtkE7MY743pku4PMxmbT7dUNtWAj657iBo6KzJfG4of3ziVkc2JlsJEzfRsTG9ijU4UM/s640/love%2526toast.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div>The line includes lip balms, fragrances and hand creams. It also extends to shampoos, body butters and sugar scrubs. All products are made from natural and organic ingredients like shea butter, jojoba and macadamia nut oil, aloe vera and avocado. Light and luxurious hand lotions are encased in a delightfully decorative and handy tube. Gently moisturizing lip balms contain beeswax, cocoa butter, olive oil and Vitamin E. These quirky and colorful beauty buys are fun, invigorating and deliciously fragrant.  The hand creams are nourishing and aromatic in Honey Coconut, Mandarin Tea, Paper Flower, Gin Blossom, Pomme Poivre and Sugar Grapefruit. Roller ball eau de perfumes are the perfect handbag sized treat in Candied Citron, Clementine Crush, Dew Blossom, Honey Nectar and Persimmon Plum. A range of sweet and zesty lip balms include Cherry Lemonade, Lemon Mint, Star Anise, Prickly Pear and Vanilla Chai. Too cute to resist, the Love & Toast brand is available at selected Woolworths stores. They are a bit pricey, with hand creams at R98, roller perfumes at R130 and lip balms for R92 each. This Winter, All you need is Love. And Toast.

Divas and Darlings - White House Correspondents' Dinner

Red Carpet Fashion White House Correspondents' Association Dinner 2011 The White House held its Annual  Correspondents' Association Dinner this weekend, where Hollywood was represented by the young and stylish.  These are some notable looks from the evening. <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjwEWI3pAI2JVmASE7EdylYJQVor_N5YQ9UdAulPnEHh8hjc7JbsXfBTVHJSIdJ2DfzV390UmHMaomtv-hutZQLwKpzEKpc5DHd2fU_vc4fWLORh2qBERsqUhO5fOQtaUBPh8PygrREOs/s1600/whc1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjwEWI3pAI2JVmASE7EdylYJQVor_N5YQ9UdAulPnEHh8hjc7JbsXfBTVHJSIdJ2DfzV390UmHMaomtv-hutZQLwKpzEKpc5DHd2fU_vc4fWLORh2qBERsqUhO5fOQtaUBPh8PygrREOs/s640/whc1.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Michelle Trachtenberg is a diva in Marchesa. Her black strapless gown has white chiffon criss-cross panels with a floor length sash. I find her makeup to be too harsh though. Nina Dobrev is celestial in a white chiffon gown with cross front by D&G. She was accompanied by boyfriend and Vampire Diaries co-star, Ian Somerhalder (We are so jealous Nina!). He looked dashing in an Armani tux. I would love to have this dress worn by Mira Sorvino. She chose an elegant black Badgley Mischka gown with embellished waistband. Mila Kunis is fierce in her fitted black Versace gown with square neckline and gold buttoned pockets.</td></tr> </tbody></table> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ7p-80zuGS51MiCkXWPFD02S_7XN5MD7k17XJGvCpWCKY4eOzm2oBSZp6DZcYrk4upZrtwnXQMjvmlI9rsm36S_sIIJhRqnq-Nj8u_j_GOj-UFRvMxR9m1_WIySMY0LEB-3VDiOTgGc4/s1600/whcd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ7p-80zuGS51MiCkXWPFD02S_7XN5MD7k17XJGvCpWCKY4eOzm2oBSZp6DZcYrk4upZrtwnXQMjvmlI9rsm36S_sIIJhRqnq-Nj8u_j_GOj-UFRvMxR9m1_WIySMY0LEB-3VDiOTgGc4/s640/whcd.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Rosario Dawson blends into the red carpet with an asymmetrical gazar gown by Escada. Rashida Jones looks superb in a royal blue strapless column gown. Anna Paquin is statuesque in a burgundy gown by Herve.L.Leroux. The silhouette is magnificent, just not crazy about the colour. Brooklyn Decker played it safe in a simple strapless dress with sweetheart neckline by Giambattista Valli. Scarlet Johansson showed off her new auburn coloured hair at the event. She wore a sea-green chiffon Elie Saab dress with antique embroidered detail. Her nude pumps are by the same designer.</td></tr> </tbody></table>
