"I'm a mess. I'm a wreck but you wouldn't know cause I'm at my best when I'm with you."

If, like me, you're a big fan of Stella McCartney then you should know that the New York Times has written an interesting, in-depth article about her which you can read here.

You can read this inspirational, light-hearted blog post by the Simply Luxurious Life on how to revel in being a woman.

Classic item

The classic short sleeved blazer is feminine, subtle and elegant.

I have a cropped black blazer from Gap that I wore a lot last s/s. I'm surprised that it's really uncommon to see someone wearing one.

I think Coco Chanel started the trend with her jackets - she believed women's wrists were elegant and attractive.

Flawless.

Another person who rocked the Grammys was Adele; who always dresses beautifully. I think she plays it a bit too safe -always wearing dark colours- but I've heard that she wants to be recognised for her music and not her style.

It was never easy - understanding her.

The Olsen twins truly know how to dress for themselves; and they do it so well that you can't help but like everything they wear even when you feel unsure. You can view their fall 2012 collection here.

The first two looks are by zero + maria cornejo. I really like the soft fluorescent green cape (surprisingly!) against the soft grey clothes -I like soft colours.

The bottom, middle look is by Proenza Schouler for Fall 2012. I like the contrast of the white clothing against the heavy, black knee-high boots; and I think the bag feminises (if that's a word) the whole look.

Style tip: own it!

To some, your look may be: too boring; too eccentric; too formal; too casual; or two seasons behind; but if it's what makes you feel good then that counts for far more than what other people may think.

I'm single because I was born that way.

I'm going to be happily single on Valentine's Day!

I'm not one of those women that jump into relationships for the sake of having a boyfriend. I think relationships are emotionally and mentally demanding and therefore never just blissful, so the person who you choose to devote your love and time to should be worthy of every bit of it.

If, like me, you're going to be single on Valentine's Day why not be happy about it rather than feel down. You could: do something that you've been wanting to do for quite a while; buy yourself new underwear that will make you feel like a million dollars/pounds; if you've been on a diet why not indulge in something chocolatey and sweet; buy yourself new nail varnish or make-up; go for a long session in the gym; watch your favourite film with your other single friends; buy yourself new jewellery; or just not care because it's just another (commercial) day in the year.

Something to look forward to.

I'm completely in love with Jason Wu's s/s collection and the beautiful images taken by From Me To You fashion tumblr. The looks celebrate elegance and feminine beauty with their delicate detail and soft statement pieces. I had a peek at Sandro's s/s collection and the above look really stood out for me but can you tell why? I like the back part of course. It turns the what-could-be a plain and dull dress into a dress that states: 'I want to remain refined and yet be elegant'.

This song is beautiful: Lhasa de Sela - Love Came Here.
