Fifty Shades of Grey: A tribute to Caroline Acton

The film Fifty Shades of Grey based on the novel by E.L James hits the cinemas this week and whilst a lot of the focus has been on the romance; I have been dreaming of what it would be like to be Caroline Acton, the frequently mentioned but never seen personal shopper of Christian Grey. She had the pleasure of selecting every stylish item in Anastasia Rose Steele’s walk-in wardrobe, which for me had much more appeal than the ‘Red Room’.  Caroline Acton is the ultimate taste-maker and  go-to personal shopper of billionaires and their significant others. So I would like to pay tribute to the unsung heroine of Fifty Shades of Grey in my edit of coveted and stylish pieces fit for a billionaires.

A wardrobe fit for…….Olivia

A wardrobe fit for Olivia Pope?

‘It’s handled!’

Ok, let me let you in on a little secret, I  want to be Olivia Pope…

Here is a woman who is not just razor sharp in the way she dresses, but also in the way she intelligently  deals with multiple political crises.

Now let’s talk about that wardrobe….

Olivia has  a number of great signature pieces which are must haves for our  winter  wardrobes, from the wrap coat to the elbow length glove.  Nobody wears a statement jacket and wide leg trousers like Olivia when she is strutting towards the Oval talking into her cell at 100 mph, coffee and Prada tote in hand.

Extramarital affairs aside Olivia is pretty perfect (note to self, this is a fictional character!). Only time will tell whether Olivia and Fitz will end up  living happily ever after, or succumb to one of Mellie’s many schemes. All I know is that Scandal is one of the best TV dramas of all time and Shonda Rhimes is a genius!

Here is my edit of all things Olivia, can you handle it?
