Vena Cava Nails

I did my nails the other day and realized they looked like this Vena Cava dress. Works for me. (You can't really see the holographic outline on the black triangles, but it's there.)

Prada S/S 2010 Lookbook

Miuccia Prada proves her genius again and again. Not only does she consistently create the most exciting collections, but her lookbooks for each season are always spot-on. These images of Prada's Spring 2010 collection are beyond cool.

Phillip Lim in My Dreams

3.1 Phillip Lim Tiered Ruffle Top, $274, at lagarconne.com; Topshop Scalloped Spot Crop Top, $50, at topshop.com
3.1 Phillip Lim Lace Tee, $450, at otteny.com; Luca Couture Lace Back-Button Top, $58, at urbanoutfitters.com

Due to my obsession with Phillip Lim's Resort collection and my near complete lack of resources, I've been looking for ways to get the same look. Why spend $274 on a polka dot tank when you can spend only $50? Oh, right, Lim's actually is 6 times better.

RISING SUN

Grazia

We're off-the-scale excited to have the fabulous Fei Fei Sun back with us for this season's London's shows - and this time she'll be here for the whole week! After the frenzy she created from just 2 days in town back in September (well done Mulberry and Nathan Jenden for winning the scrap for her catwalk services) we just know she's going to be a must-book when the show circus rolls into town next month. In the meantime she's been busy fronting China's Elle Style Awards campaign, wowing us with a gorgeous Grazia shoot, AND booking back to back main fashion stories in Elle.... another Elite Model Look success story by the way!

Golden Globes 2010 Runway to the Red Carpet

As much as fashion lovers anticipate awards season to see which of our favorite stars match up with our favorite designers, there is always a tinge of disappointment with the red carpet. NY Mag accuses award show dresses of being boring and ugly because major designers refuse to lend to Hollywood. At this weekend's 67th Annual Golden Globes, many of the major designers were represented, but designs often seem less impressive on the red carpet than on the runway. Take a look and decide for yourself which is better.

NEW YEAR, NEW GIRLS!

It's been a busy month of new arrivals at Eilte London as the dawn of a new decade has seen a whole heap of fab new girls join the board! First up the gorgeous Juana Borga who joins us all the way from Peru. Just like our other fave Latina girls she has skin to die for and is effortlessly feline... we're jealous already!

Also new and now in town is our latest Brit-on-the-rise Georgina Toms; and we're also pleased to welcome the gorgeous Kristine D from Latvia to London and our development board. Hi girls!

Shopbop Sale: Jerome Dreyfuss Bags

Suede Billy Bag, $635.60 (30% off), at shopbop.com; Suede Fernand Bag, $434 (50% off), at shopbop.com; Gilbert Tote, $721 (30% off), at shopbop.com

Three of Jerome Dreyfuss' bags are included in Shopbop's latest sale and I love them all. The Billie bag is his signature shape and this bright violet shade is a great statement color. I've been wanting one of these for a while now. The cross-body suede Fernand bag is a good way to participate in the boho cross-body trend without looking cheesy and the Gilbert tote is the perfect work bag. I can't wait for his store to open up in New York this year. I also can't wait for his wife, Isabel Marant's, store to open up next door.

ELITE MODEL LOOK STAR STRIKES AGAIN!

We were pleased to welcome back to London the beautiful Victoria Tuaz from France who was on a flying visit last week. As befitting a girl who has already graced the pages of Italian Vogue, our editorial clients went mad for her once again and during her short trip she manged to cram in shoots for Metal Magazine (shot by Leon Mark), Bon Magazine (shot by Aitken Jolly) and Dazed & Confused magazine - shot by another one of our favourite photographers, Nick Dorey. Once again an Elite Model Look girl proves her star quality!
