got quirk?

Just as an FYI, I am not a fan of the Lady Gaga's of this world. Whilst I find her style all very creative and theatrical, I don't believe for one moment that she rolls out of bed and throws on these outfits as part of her everyday garb. The whole "it's just who I am" thing is wearing thin...fast. Who really wants to lounge around on a Sunday in a lace body suit, complete with camel toe. How on earth is one supposed to read the Sunday paper with a net eye cover?

Give me quirky yes, but give me quirky with a touch of class, a dash of reality and a whole lot of wear-ability.

Step aside Lady Gaga and enter; Chloe Sevigny, Alexa Chung, Lou Dillon, Cory Kennedy, Atlanta De Cadenet Taylor, Diane Kruger, Peaches & Pixie Geldoff, Whitney Port, Shannyn Sossaman, Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen and Harley Viera Newton.

For these are the girls who's colours clash, who's patterns collide, who's sweater pants are paired with heels and fur coats...these are the girls with original style, unique unto their own without being blatantly obvious.

Sometimes you should knock back Sunday afternoon drinks with friends to spend time with your sister, to spend time eating pancakes, to spend time laughing at each other, to spend time walking the streets with the sun beating down on your back, to spend time wandering aimlessly around Chapel Street Bazaar searching for all things silver and floaty floral summer dresses, to spend time napping in the afternoon, to spend time watching repeats of Seinfeld, to spend time looking at pretty pretty photos.

So whilst my friends kicked back at Windsor Castle, numerous ice cold Corona's in hand, I did the family thing and despite the pancakes (with lashing of whipped butter and maple syrup aside), my waistline feels all the better for it :)

It's been a while since I have seen Chloe lurking about the social pages or the party scene slide shows at style.com

Needless to say she has returned with a swagger only Sevigny could pull off and how I have missed her quirky style so. In the past week she has made appearances at the MOCA New 20th Anniversary Gala & after party, then there was Prada's book launch cocktail party and lastly Tom Ford's 'A Single Man' Closing night soiree.

As always she was rocking the mismatched look to perfection. Because who wouldn't think to pair a sequined high neck blouse with a floral skirt or to wear a twin set cardigan with exposed lingerie?

Oh just to have the presence, the pizazz and the gusto that our dear Chloe does...just for one day.
