ROCKIN' THE RED CARPET: The 2010 Emmy Awards

So this weekend was Emmy weekend in LA. Now as someone who doesn't really watch much TV (apart from reality, but shh) I didn't really care about who won best actress or which show was the best drama series! All I wanted to know was who was wearing what! In all honestly I was disappointed at this years Emmy fashion, no one seemed to want to stand out from the crowd or be a bit different. I had to pick a few faves, although it was tough, here they are...




Kim Kardashian in Marchesa

Its not that I love this dress it's more the fact that I love Kim K, she looks fabulous in anything she wears and here is no different!













Heidi Klum in Marchesa

You would never know Heidi Klum was a mother of 4...this women is the ultimate MILF!












Maria Menounos in Ralph & Russo

Embellished and cut out....LOVE IT!















Lea Michele in Oscar de la Renta

I love the navy blue on Lea's tanned skin...she looks hot!















Stephanie Pratt in a Marciano Edaline Dress

With long sleeves you can go as short as you want without looking trashy, Stephanie Pratt looks good! (and i never ever thought I would be saying that)













Claire Danes in Armani Privé

Nude and embellished...2 thumbs up for Clare!















Ryan Kwanten looks HOT!!


















Look out for more celebs Rockin the Red Carpet soon :)

I ♥ my LBD

The LBD....Little Black Dress.... has been the ultimate essential in every girl's wardrobe since the 1920's! Before the 1920's black dresses were worn only at times of mourning...it all changed in 1926 when Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel published a short black dress in American Vogue. This picture changed fashion forever!


40 years later in 1961 Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's epitomised what Chanel had visioned for an LBD...short, simple cut and accessorised with pearls.






Over the years the LBD has been worn with everything from sandals to combat boots and made from everything from leather to lace. It's been worn by the rich, the poor, royalty and even civilian women entering the workforce in World War 2!

However you wear yours, whatever your budget just make sure you have one! I've searched high and low for the best LBD's around, at all prices!


£15 or Under
Velvet LBD from Newlook

£25 or Under


                                             Cut out lace LBD from Motel


£50 or Under


Miss Selfridge Burnout dress


£100 or Under



Aqua Asymmetric Sequin Sleeve from ASOS


£150 or Under


Topshop Limited Edition Shift dress



£250 or Under



Forever Unique mesh full sleeve dress from ASOS


As Wallis Warfield Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor once said 'When a little black dress is right, there is nothing else to wear in its place.'

Enjoy Yours!

I am a Material Girl...

Like mother, like daughter has never been truer. Madonna’s new clothing range with her Über stylish daughter Lourdes has finally been launched! This girl is probably the most fashionable 13 yr old ever! The range which is based on 80’s rock includes leather studded jackets, checked shirts, leggings and ra-ra skirts….what’s not to love?!

Only 2 downfalls to this fabulous new line…


1 – its only available at Macy’s (anyone going to the US anytime soon let me know and ill give you my list!)

2 – the face of the campaign is Gossip Girls Tayler Momsen…I cant quite put my finger on it but there’s something I really don’t like about this bleached blonde badgirl!

Here’s a sneak preview of the collection….

V festival fashion

So I'm not really a festival kinda girl; the whole camping, bugs and portaloos thing doesn't really float my boat! One thing's for sure though- it's not about getting out your trampiest clothes and dressing appropriately for the cold anymore, no no, festival fashion is on the up! Even the forecast of torrential rain shouldn't keep away the bare legs and fake tan!


Here are some of my fave celeb festival outfits:



Alexa Chung - to be honest she'd make a binbag work

Pixie Lott - all black...hot!



Coleen Rooney - Bang on trend with this animal print playsuit 



Diana Vickers - not really a festival friendly outfit but I love it all the same!


Florence Welch - This red head is on fire!


Jameela Jamil - The best till last. I adore this girl- watch out for my fave Jameela outfits coming soon!

CATWALK TO CLOSET - Aviator jackets

As much as I love the start of a season; looking through all the designer shows, finding out what's still on trend and what really isn't, it's actually a really stressful time!

So you fall in love with a Balmain gold and black dress or Burberry Prorsum aviator jacket... what can you actually do, apart from remortgage your parents house?! (DO NOT DO THIS!)

Whilst I would chop off my left arm for this season's Lanvin Fur Coat I don't think even that would be enough!


Lanvin fur jacket autumn/winter 2010











Well just because you can't afford designer there is no reason why you can't look fabulous (you will notice I use this word way to much!) . Thank the Lord for the British high street! From Topshop to Urban Outfitters and Bershka to Uniqlo the high street is guaranteed to keep you looking à la mode!

Back to the Lanvin coat, as amazing as it is, this River Island one ticks all the same boxes for not even a tenth of the price!
