Huge celebrity get the look special featuring Made in Chelsea, In Love with Fashion, and pregnant ladies!

May 21st, 2013 . No Comments »

 

This is probably one of the biggest celebrity style posts I have ever completed, it started as a mini post but I just kept finding more and more celebrity looks and lookalikes to add!

The first thing featured is a very cute gift that was presented to Beyoncé when she recently toured the UK. The gift was from luxury baby brand My 1st Years, who specialise in gorgeous personalised baby products, and featured Blue Ivy and Princess Carter personalisation. You can choose from a huge range of products at My 1st Years, perfect gifts for Christenings, new babies and Baby Showers.

In Love With Fashion has long been a must wear label amongst pop stars, reality TV stars and media stars. Recent spots have been Rochelle Wiseman covering her baby bump in a citrus coloured tunic top, DJ Kate Lawler looking frankly amazing in a striped maxi at the Sony Awards, and Millie Mackintosh showing how stylish playsuits can be in royal blue.

Get the Look – Cheryl Cole

Cheryl Cole is back in the limelight, looking amazing in Zuhair Murad at the Cannes film festival, so now seems the perfect time to show a few get the looks for the lovely lady. First up is her off duty look in the form of a perfect blue leather bag that gives you a similar look to Cheryl’s airport style. Then, for some sensational showstopping, the green beaded bodycon from Celeb Boutique is Cheryl at her gorgeous best. (This dress has also been worn by Danielle Lloyd).

Alesha Dixon in Celeb Boutique

Another star who wears Celeb boutique is Miss Alesha Dixon, currently on screen in Britain’s Got Talent. I have featured this dress as it is still available and has recently been reduced, so you can get some geniune star style with a little bit of discount – always a good thing.

Lisa Riley in Scarlett and Jo

I was lucky enough to be sent a stunning dress from Scarlett and Jo (click on the link to read the review), so I was really pleased to see the brand going from strength to strength, with the lovely Lisa Riley the latest convert. She looks fabulous in this fit and flare tunic which mixes the most fabulous colours.

Lisa Riley in Anna Scholz

Lisa is really becoming one to watch in the style stakes, choosing a range of stunning looks from plus size collections that show that curvier ladies no longer need to be encased in smock like garments. A case in point is this amazing lace, citrus coloured dress that Lisa chose from Anna Scholz to wear to a family wedding. She looked incredible.

Alex Jones in Marks and Spencers Limited Collection

Alex Jones always wears eye catching blouses and tops on ‘The One Show’, and many of them come from High Street sources. A case in point being the lovely Bull print red blouse that is part of the Limited collection from M&S, available at the moment.

Jenna Dewan Tatum and Ali Landry wear Isabella Oliver

2013 will definitely be known as the year when it seemed everyone was pregnant. Many celebrity moms to be have flocked to Isabella Oliver, loving the cool, classic basic shapes that are just perfect for growing bumps. The latest ladies to sport the Isabella Oliver looks are Jenna Dewan Tatum and Ali Landry, who show that items from the range can be casual, or glamorous, with equal aplomb.

And finally (phew!), we have one of my favourite Made in Chelsea ladies, the lovely Cheska Hull, wearing a brand I featured on the blog yesterday, Aspire Style.  Cheska was wearing the gorgeous Louche Valora dress with its beautiful floral print. It looked so pretty, perfect for summer picnics and lazy days.

New Kardashian Kollection launches at Dorothy Perkins

May 20th, 2013 . 3 Comments »

The second collection from the Kardashian sisters for Dorothy Perkins has launched today, and I think it is even better than the first. Using a palette of black, white, creams and greys, mixed with the softest shade of baby pink, the latest collection is a combination of feminine tailoring and body hugging Kardashian dresses, showing off the individual personalities of Khloe, Kourtney and Kim.

There is a lot to admire about this collection. I love the ombre style dip dye blazer in pink merging into purple, this would look amazing with jeans or over tailored black trousers. The white bodycon dress is beautiful, making the little white dress a great alternative to the LBD. Floaty print blouses are a nice departure from the more structured looks and will be perfect for summer holiday dressing.

Here are some of my favourite pieces from the collection.

Bright Light Press Day – Fabulous brands, Fabulous fashion.

May 20th, 2013 . No Comments »

May is always a busy time in fashion, with many of the top High Street and designer brands hosting their press previews for the upcoming Autumn/Winter season. I was lucky enough to receive an invite for the Bright Light PR press day that was held in the The Gallery, Soho,  last week. Bright Light represent a host of fabulous brands, from Lands’ End and Closet Clothing, to Damsel in a Dress and Olsen, so it was bound to be a great event full of  interesting ranges.

And so it proved to be. Here are some of the highlights from the different collections showcased on the day.

The Gatsby Girl premiere and shop the trend at Lipsy

May 19th, 2013 . 1 Comment »

The Great Gatsby is turning out to be the most influential fashion event of 2013. The premiere at the Cannes film festival on Friday was a super stylish event which saw the attendees pulling out all the stops in the style stakes. To put it quite simply, the abundance of beautiful looks on the big screen meant that it was simply unthinkable not to make the same amount of effort off-screen. Most fashion critics even commented on how glamorous the normally low-key star, Carey Mulligan looked on the red carpet, with sleek long hair and a slash of red lipstick.

Great Gatsby Premiere stars

Lipsy has some great Gatsby inspired pieces at the moment. Placing emphasis on the beautiful beading that was so important to the trends of the 1920s, but bringing things bang up to date with shorter lengths and strapless bodices, Lipsy have really excelled in creating pieces that will be perfect for addressing this trend now, but also surviving into next season and proving to be a great option come party season.

Take a look at some of my favourite pieces from the Gatsby trend at Lipsy.

Storage solutions for the ever growing wardrobe

May 18th, 2013 . No Comments »

Once upon a time we had one wardrobe, and were able to fit everything in it. But these days we seem to need ever-growing space to fit our ever-growing wardrobes and accessories. We have our Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter wardrobes that need to be switched as the seasons change, we hold onto clothes that we feel might come back into fashion at some stage, and just seem to buy more in general, through sales, charity shops, online auctions, clothes shops – the list is endless. Extra storage has become so important that companies like www.loknstore.co.uk now offer the option of storage rooms that are clean, painted and polished, offering a perfect alternative to the rather dusty loft that we used to use.

Here are some examples of different types of storage for your wardrobe – from ways to store accessories to large storage rooms.

Accessories and storage boxes

Pretty items like scarves and jewellery can be stored in a range of pretty, vintage style boxes. These actually look great – many have an appearance of vintage hats boxes and can be stored on top of wardrobes, or under beds if you lace space. Wisteria Avenue have a great range at the moment that resemble the sort of beautiful boxes that used to contain dresses and hats delivered from exclusive department stores in the 1920s.

Under stairs storage

Any cupboard space can be transformed by adding shelving and hooks. My hubby has recently worked his magic on a cupboard that we have under the stairs. Shelves were measured to make space for toys, pretty Art Nouveau style hooks were added to the door to hold some of my handbag collection. This was previously dead space that was used as a dumping ground for just about anything, now it is a relevant area that is easy to access and provides a storage area that is multi functional.

Walk in Wardrobes

There can’t be a woman alive who hasn’t dreamed of having a walk in wardrobe like the one’s that Carrie Bradshaw owned in Sex and the City. The one in the first movie was just amazing, but even in her own small apartment Carrie gave a lot of her living space over to her clothing. Walk in wardrobes are today much easier to achieve, perfect for the sort of box rooms that are just too small to be considered bedrooms, and with help from Ikea, you can create the correct storage space that is perfect for you.

Storage Rooms

And if all else fails, and you still find yourself stuffing your lovely belongings into every available space, then there is the option of storage rooms from companies like Lok’NStore. These rooms do the jobs that our lofts and attics used to do before we changed them into extra bedrooms in our quest for extra space. You have a key to the padlock for your space, which is bright, airy, clean and painted – no industrial space is this. This is the perfect solution when you are really stuck for where to put everything, and often costs less than £15 per week.
