Style Not a bad judging panel Tropfest happened in Australia this past weekend. It’s the biggest short film festival in the world. On the judges panel this year: three Oscar winners - Cate Blanchett, Nicole Kidman, and Geoffrey Rush - and Toni Collette, Oscar nominee and Emmy and Golden Globe Awards recipient. Total amateurs, right? By Lainey • Feb 21, 2012 10:42 am

Several new articles were posted yesterday and LifeStyle is jammed with photos from London Fashion Week. Please scroll down to catch up on what you missed, including the Givenchy Nightingale, this year’s Annual Contest prize bag, one By Lainey • Feb 21, 2012 10:27 am
Lifestyle London Fashion Week: Erdem Fall 2012 Now arguably the biggest Canadian who shows in London ... And supported by the Princess Kate. And all up in the florals before the florals became the thing. Or maybe starting the floral thing... There has been a lot of floral, as you know, but to me, BY FAR, these are By Lainey • Feb 20, 2012 10:36 pm
Lifestyle London Fashion Week: Antonio Berardi Fall 2012 Antonio Berardi is a red carpet favourite. I guess I just don’t know sh-t because, well, I’ve never found his clothes all that mouth-watering. And this collection is no exception. I mean I like it ok, but there’s no face-puncher here either. Like I said, I guess By Lainey • Feb 20, 2012 10:20 pm
Lifestyle London Fashion Week: Christopher Kane Fall 2012 There’s a lot for Carey Mulligan here. I imagine she’ll choose at least one for The Great Gatsby press tour. Last summer I splurged on a Christopher Kane dress for an award show. Like, you know when you get the sweats when your credit card gets run through? By Lainey • Feb 20, 2012 10:09 pm
Lifestyle London Fashion Week: Peter Pilotto Fall 2012 I’m not fashion expert, and I would wear many pieces of this collection, but it also feels like Christopher Kane already did it. Like at least 4 seasons ago. I’m crazy? By Lainey • Feb 20, 2012 09:56 pm
Lifestyle London Fashion Week: Paul Smith Fall 2012 Last year I thought very seriously about a pair of Paul Smith shoes embroidered at the heel. Eventually I had to walk away. It seemed like they were better on a shelf, admired, than on my feet, sure to be trashed. Celebrities can do a one wear shoe at a By Lainey • Feb 20, 2012 09:50 pm
Lifestyle London Fashion Week: Nicole Farhi Fall 2012 It always makes me happy that Bill Nighy is a front row regular at Nicole Farhi, right beside Anna Wintour. I really love the gold metallic trim on the sole of those wedges. By Lainey • Feb 20, 2012 09:39 pm
Lifestyle London Fashion Week: Burberry Prorsum Fall 2012 This is the one they wait for in London. There’s a reason we rent and don’t own, right? Would I regret spending my savings on this collection? Because I know you think I would but... I’m telling you, I’m not actually sure. Oh you’re so By Lainey • Feb 20, 2012 03:02 pm
Dumbass Slumming it in Rio Brahma, the beer, paid for Jennifer Lopez plus several to be in Rio for Carnival. Plus several nowadays always includes the backup dancer. Because her life doesn’t exist without him until they marry and divorce. If you’re Casper Smart, do you put it on your resume that you By Lainey • Feb 20, 2012 02:00 pm
Lifestyle London Fashion Week: Mulberry Fall 2012 Last year it was the First Nation themed sweaters. This year Mulberry’s making it the bags. I want each and every one of the bags sent down this runway. AND those wedges in every single colour, especially orange. By Lainey • Feb 20, 2012 01:49 pm
Lifestyle London Fashion Week: Matthew Williamson Fall 2012 He loves colour and he loves print. I love one of those necklaces. Last year I tried on a Matthew Williamson dress at Selfridges on a suggestion from the incomparable Hilary Alexander. If only “Hilary said I should buy it” was an acceptable explanation for the credit card companies. By Lainey • Feb 20, 2012 01:11 pm
Maple Leaf When these babies have babies There is a world in which Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber are considered adults - parental figures, even if for just one day, to those for whom these two could, mathematically and biologically, be mommy and daddy. Here they are spending the weekend in Malibu with Bieber’s siblings, Jaxon By Lainey • Feb 20, 2012 12:56 pm
Justin Timberlake What is the value of the celebrity host? Lainey messaged me on Saturday about why it seemed like SNL is always better when the host is a returning cast member as opposed to a celebrity. Knee-jerk reaction: because they’re proper comedians and they get it. But it does go a little deeper than that, because there many By Sarah • Feb 20, 2012 12:01 pm
Lifestyle London Fashion Week: Issa Fall 2012 One of Catherine Cambridge's favourites. You'll be seeing at least one of these looks on her. Perhaps at the Olympics? The label is London-based but the designer isn't English born. Does that count for patriotism? By Lainey • Feb 20, 2012 11:40 am
Lifestyle London Fashion Week: Aquascutum Fall 2012 I often wonder why Aquascutum isn't more popular in certain circles. The clothes are beautiful, classic, and solidly made. I once worked for the president of an academic institution. She loved Aquascutum. Maybe that's the image: briefcases aren't sexy? But why not? By Lainey • Feb 20, 2012 11:08 am
