Insider: Coco's Tea Party
name: Coco a.k.a Ella
occupation: Fashion Blogger for Coco's Tea Party & Fashion Journalism Student
hometown: London
if you could have 3 style icons at your dinner table who would they be? I would have Ashley Olsen (because I want to be her best friend), Marc Jacobs (because I want to be his best friend too) and Anna Wintour (because who knows more about fashion?).
what are your two "go-to" shops in London for a quick fashion fix? I would say Harvey Nichols, because they have the most beautiful labels and it's always a little calmer than Selfridges and then Topshop on Oxford Street, because unlike Harvey Nichols I can actually afford stuff there, and it has a fabulous energy about it.
what has been your favorite A/W collection(s) so far? So far my favourite A/W collection was Marc Jacobs - he really stepped it up this season, not that he ever got lazy or anything, but it was just an amazing collection.
who are your favorite stylists? For celebrity my favourite stylist is Rachel Zoe, she can make anyone look good. But as far as styling editorials go no one matches Grace Coddington, who is just out of this world. I also love the work of Alex White at W Magazine too, she puts things together beautifully.
name a trend that should be buried underground and kept there - Well, it's not so much a trend, but I can't get my head around fleece as a fabric. Anything in fleece should be sent far far away. And I don't care if you think it's warm or cosy, it's gross.
favorite scene in The September Issue? I love every scene, it's so hard to choose. Although Mario and Anna's meeting in London is the one that makes me laugh the most, especially when he's dreaming away saying "maybe I should have a party in this room..."
what is your bag and what's in it? At the moment I'm using my £19 Marc by Marc Jacobs canvas blue bag as I carry so much junk around with me all the time it keeps the overall weight down. I wouldn't even like to get onto the subject of what's in it though - a lot of rubbish and old magazines.
What Are You Wearing Alexa?

Armani. Gaga. Armani. Gaga.
via The Daily ... "Armani has created several looks for Lady Gaga’s The Monster Ball that kicked off last week in the UK and will continue on to Australia and Europe. Key looks include a curved-shouldered, sparkly structured body suit, a segmented sparking body suit with a lobster effect on one sleeve, a geometric mini dress with a mirror effect and a floor-length black patent trench. Gaga will pair each look with specially made Armani shoes and sunglasses. Giorgio Armani commented on the collaboration, explaining, “We hear Lady Gaga’s music everywhere we go; it is like a soundtrack of our times. In addition to her formidable songwriting skills, she is a modern fashion phenomenon.”
