10 favourite things…
Posted by Matchesfashion writer: Chloe Batt March 9th, 2010
The Matches blog has just been given the Happy 101 award by super-chic Canned Fashion. The drill is, list ten of my favourite things, before passing the award on to ten other award-worthy bloggers…
Voila…
1) 3.1 Phillip Lim – anything and everything. I would be quite happy if my wardrobe was made up of nothing else but him. My favourite piece at the moment has to be this sequinned shirt dress…

2) Restaurant Georges, the unfeasibly stylish restaurant atop the Pompidou Centre, which has the most dazzling panoramic views of Paris and a striking, futuristic interior. It also happens to be where Natalia Vodianova met her husband Justin Portman…what a suitably sophisticated setting for the making of such a match!

3) Christopher Kane’s gingham dress with cut-out detail…sweetly demure with racy undertones. I loved the pretty-yet-perverted mood of his SS10 show, which was based on the idea of girls getting dressed to go to church…and then falling by the way side en route.

4) My 12-week-old pug, Pericles.

5) Annina Vogel’s heartmeltingly beautiful pearl encrusted pendant. Decorated with a tiny horseshoe and arrow, it’s a lucky charm to love forever…

6) Diptyque candles – I have them in every room at home…

7) Wearing pretty, flippy dresses to chic summer soirees…this beautifully beaded Megan Park number will look exquisite teamed with softly woven gladiator sandals…

8 ) Long rambles across the rugged Yorkshire moorland, wearing my Lily and Lionel leather parka…

9) Any Grace Kelly film (top pick – High Society) – I’m so excited about the V & A’s forthcoming exhibition of her wardrobe…

10) Richard Nicoll’s sumptuous silk blazer – I’ll work this season’s laidback luxe trend and wear mine with Stella McCartney’s softly tailored silk pants and statement sandals…

What a fabulous selection! Pericles trumps everything though, I must say…

I LOVED your answers! I simply must make that trip to Paris if only to visit Restaurant Georges. Pericles is SO cute. And I need that Richard Nicoll blazer in my life (currently exclusively wearing various shades of caramel!) Nx
