Kristen Stewart at the LA New Moon Premiere

I absolutley love what Kristen Stewart wore to the New Moon Premiere in LA.

It really shows off her personality, as she is very rock chick, and this dress gives off a unique and quirky vibe. I also think the way her hair has been styled suits her very well, as it is very simple but looks intruging. I can definitley see Twilight Fans copying this style- Watch out Kristen!

Tartan, Tartan, Tartan!

I am a massive fan of Tartan, and when I found out that it was going to be coming back into fashion for winter 2009- my face lit up!

There are some gorgeous tartan garments to be seen at the moment, from Catwalk to High Street... there's no way of hiding from it, and trust me- I won't be!

I love these dresses seen on Katy Perry and Solange Knowles:

Kim Cattrall's Flashback to the 80's on Sex and the City 2 Set

The sequel to Sex and The City is about to be released, and I have to admit I love Kim Cattrall's 80's look within the film... alot of people have slated the look, but I think she looks really fun and quirky, and rocks a mish-match of colours perfectly. Her massive bleach blonde hair just finishes the outfit, and has a real Madonna/Debbie Harry look to it... Ultimate 80's!

Lady Gaga goes GAGA!

I know we all usually love how unusual and unique Lady Gaga's outfits are and cant wait to see what she'll be wearing next, but this time she took it a bit too far... in a recent interview with News Week she wore this outfit:

Now I admit I loved the muppets when I was a kid, and have the odd t-shirt with them on now, but...a whole outfit made of Kermit Frogs?!.. What was she thinking?

This is a definite no no for anybody's wardrobe! Please Gaga take it to the nearest bin!

Fearne Cotton

Fearne Cotton is one of my all time favourite idols.

I think she has a great personality, and I love her fashion sense, she always looks fantastic whether she's in a posh dress or a baggy jumper. I love the way she looks very natural too, she seems as if she doesn't spend much time getting ready but still looks good whatever.

I saw this picture of her, and think it sums up my previous sentence well...

Wearing just a simple a black and white striped baggy jumper and black jeans, yet she looks great.

I think that the accessories she has used also work really well and finish the outfit perfectly. The useage of big, chunky rings, a simple black bag and all colours to match contrast greatly with the bright-in your face red nailpolish.

I also like they way she has her hair down and her make up is very simple and plain. This again shows that she is very natural and isn't bothered about having a "cover girl" look, she is happy and comfortable with her own unique style, and I aspire to that.

Fashion Trends for Spring/Summer 2010

Spring/Summer 2010's expected fashion trends are here!


There are four predicted fashion trends; Popular Appeal, Ode to Nature, Light Tech and Southern Folk.

Popular Appeal consists of 60's and 70's retro looks. From worn denim to high waisted skirts and trousers. The colours are very bold dark colours, consisting of mustard yellows, dark crimsons and navys.
Ode to Nature consists of very antique, religious looking items. The colours are very pastel. This gives the trend a romantic feel to it, such as the floaty pastel dresses.



Light Tech consists of technology related designs, with links to the 50's. Items to be seen are ones such as big, heavy looking trainer boots, big skirted dresses and sharp cut lab coats. The colours are very bold turquoises, pop pinks and acidic oranges.

Southern Folk consists of a mix of influences from different cultures. The clothing includes items with lots of beading and deep strong colours. These colours range from deep pinks to rich wooden looking browns.

As we can see from these trends, there are lots of items that are influenced by the past. So whether your going to be rading your mum's old wardrobe or out shopping on the high street, old is definitley the new new.

Over-the-Knee Boots

Forget ankle boots this autumn/winter, because Over-the-Knee Boots are back!
From the catwalk to the celebrities and now to the high street.. in every type of fabric and colour... we want them!

Over-the-Knee boots have gone in and out of fashion for many years, being seen on the likes of Julia Roberts, in "Pretty Woman" to Madonna on the red carpet. At first, these boots would be looked upon as "lady of the night boots," and just pure trash, (probably due to Julia's role in Pretty Woman..) and many wouldn't want to be seen in them, but thankfully for us times have changed! The boots are more fashionable than ever, and will be seen wherever you go, worn by those daring enough to do so.

I would say though that these boots have a definite 'marmite' factor to them.. you either love them, or you hate them. I have to admit, I don't think i'd wear the stilletto boots... mainly due to the fact that im useless at walking in stilletto heels! The flat boots however, I really love. They always look so unique and quirky. Also what I love about these boots is that whatever you wear them with, whether your dressing up or down, they will always look stunning.

So there you have it... whether you love them, or you hate them..

Over-the-Knee Boots are most definitely going to be seen on streets near you!

Found By Create

On thursday, my class mates and I all went to Found By Create in the St Johns Centre, a new charity store just opened which sells vintage clothing.

We arrived for 9am, to help the owners style the store and have it ready for the grand opening at 1pm that afternoon. We all had tasks to do such as designing rails to creating looks for manakins. Once finished in the store, we handed out flyers to buyers to advertise the opening, and then all gathered outside for the arrival of Calendar and the Lord Mayor. We then helped in the store, helping to sell the garments and talking to customers about the store. It was a really fun day and gave us all some hands on experience of what it would be like to work in a retail store. I personally feel I have a greater understanding of how a store is run due to this day.

Cheryl Cole

I found some pictures of Cheryl Cole from this years X-factor. I wanted to talk about her outfits as we know that she is a very big fashion icon at the moment and a big inspiration for many people (including many of the auditionees who applied for the X-Factor).

The picture on the left we see Cheryl in a simple shirt and waist-skirt combo. This is a look to show that she is at work so has to be smart, but the big oversized bow on the front of the skirt gives a girly look to the outfit.

The picture on the right however shouts "look at me" and is very funky, not a normal "im going to work" outfit. She looks as if she is going out to a party to have a good time, which is interesting as it shows she has fun and lets her hair down whilst working on the X-Factor. I personally love this outfit and feel that many fans would also.
