“NAOMI: STRANGER IN MOSCOW” by V Magazine

Supermodel Naomi Campbell has made herself right at home in the Russian capital of Moscow, with a wardrobe so opulent it could only befit a 21^st-century czarina.

The always Fiece and Fab Naomi

Modern styles towering above old world construction.

The drama of the coat is somehow more impressive then the old world architecture.

Photographed by Karl Lagerfeld

Styling by Maria Chaix

Naomi wears Dior, Chanel, Marc Jacobs, Alexander McQueen, Dolce & Gabbana, Yves Saint Laurent, etc.

The always fierce Karl Lagerfeld showed the Chanel 2010 Cruise show along the Venice lido boardwalk at sunset. The fabrics shimmered like the ocean and were light as its breeze.

I love the casual elegance of the middle look.

Upper East Side Elegance meets downtown Chic!

Westfield London opened this winter making it Europe’s largest urban shopping center. Located in the Northwest in Shepherd’s Bush, the mall has a 14 screen cinema and a 270,000 sq. ft. area dedicated to luxury brands called The Village.

The Village is home to such luxury brands as Louis Vuitton, Prada, Chanel, Tiffany and Gucci. In order to keep up with anticipation, LV actually increased their retail space an additional 2,000 square feet and will be offering men’s and woman’s wear.

Westfield London

This will be my first shopping stop on my next tour of London! Tenativley scheduled for June 2009! I will no longer be fighting the crowds at the Topshop Oxford circus location; I will be enjoying the climate controlled Topshop Westfield mall location and celebrating the end of a successful shopping trip at the Champagne Bar!!

Shopping and Champagne delightfully located together; this mall was made for a CakeNotCoke.com girl!
