Holloween Hotties...and Notties!

In Girl World, Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it. - Cady Harrin 

Although this may be true in (the sick) world of American High School, I can assure you in the real world this is NOT OKAY!

Even if you are an A- Lister; stockings should be left in in the bedroom - Paris Hilton take note...

When looking for Celebs that got their Halloween Costumes right, only one lovely Lady came up top... She's the most beautiful thing to come out of Germany... It's Heidi Klum...

Every year Heidi Hosts a Halloween party, claiming its her favourite holiday of the year. The party is invite only, and more importantly COSTUME only!

Every year the Heavenly Host sets the standard for Halloweeners everywhere! 10 years and still going strong...

2000- As a Gothic Raven beauty

2001- Arriving on horseback as Lady Godiva

2002- As Betty Boop

2003- As a sexy Alien in head to toe gold- Love it!

2004- As a red witch...very Lady Gaga!

Watch this space to see what Heidi dresses up as this year!

The real deal?

One of the biggest compliments a celebrity can get is being immortalised in wax! There's the good, the bad and the plain scary...

Can you distinguish between the real and fake? Have a go...

X Factor Fashion Week 3

Week 3 of the live shows was Guilty Pleasure's week. The final 13 sang their hearts out to the likes of Britney, Led Zeppelin and Blackstreet for a place in the final 12. Hottie Matt Cardle was my fave this week, singing an acoustic- like version of Britney's 'Hit Me Baby One More Time', Rebecca was awesome as usual and so were my (not so) secret crush; One Direction. Louis' John Adeleye was the 3rd victim of the X-Factor after he lost to Treyc in the Sing off - Kelly Clarkson it was Because of You!

On Sunday we were treated to an amazing performance by Cheryl of her new single Promise This. Yes okay she mimed but boy oh boy did she look HOT doing it and with those dance moves how could anyone expect her to sing along aswell? Loved her outfit too...

Cheryl looks FIERCE!

Cheryl's Girls Aloud besties were also in the audience supporting their band mate... no sign of Nadine though!

Style Showdown time....

Saturday

Cheryl looked like her super sexy self in a nude cut out maxi dress by HMC Couture - the red hair rocked with it too!

Dannii's blue Victoria Beckham dress looked BEAUTIFUL with her blue eyes...Posh has got a new fan! Even Dannii's make-up looked amazing!

Sunday

Oh Dannii, She went from stunning and sleek on Saturday to looking like an extra from a 50's musical on Sunday! The hair and make-up was all wrong too!

Cheryl knows what suits her best; short and tight! This white and silver dress is not the best dress she's worn but with those hot peep toe ankle boots and smouldering smoky eyes...Cheryl rocks it!

This week was more difficult, with both judges looking fabulous on Saturday. However Dannii's outdated look on Sunday means Cheryl gets the points this week...after week 3 its Cheryl 2 Dannii 1!

X Factor Fashion Week 2

Week 2 of the live shows and thank the lord the 2 worst dressed acts have gone! They may have been the most colourful acts (Storm with his pink hair and Diva Fever with their orange tans) but with no musical talent or dress sense I am glad to see the back of them both!

The other highlight of the weekend was Katy Perry, I have made my crush on this woman very clear and she did not disappoint! Performing 'Firework' (which I LOVE) in a black catsuit accompanied by 'human Catherine wheels' this girl was on FIRE (no pun intended)

After the first week the style score was 1 - 0 to Cheryl, lets see who wore what in week 2...

Dannii looks amazing in this Victoria Beckham dress, the Designer herself tweeted

        ' Dannii Minogue looked so beautiful in VB last night!' - couldn't have said it better!            

              

Cheryl, with her newly dyed red hair, wore an unflattering Azzaro jumpsuit and Miu Miu heels. Even Cheryl's hot bod couldn't make this outfit work!

Dannii wore an Antonio Berardi cocktail dress on results night. Not a big fan of the neck detail (kinda makes her look like an air hostess) but the shape definitely shows of her post baby body to its best!

Cheryl played it safe again in a black Versus mini dress. The Valentino bow sandles are hot but the make her petite frame look even shorter. All feels a bit prom to me too!

This week was a lot easier to judge. Dannii looked amazing on Saturday and pretty decent on Sunday too! Cheryl, I have no idea what has gotten into you but you seriously need to sort it out love! Dannii is back in the game and she's looking better than ever! 

After week 2 its Cheryl 1 Dannii 1!

Unleash your inner animal...

Whether it's leopard, tiger, or lion (okay maybe not lion) this season is all about going WILD. Animal prints are back in and they are fiercer than ever!

This trend is over 200,000 years old and comes from the time when cave men and women ruled the earth! In those days they used actual animal skin, today (thankfully) we have cotton.

For those of you feeling brave leopard print dresses are hot; mini and maxi! If your not ready to go all out than a cute animal print scarf is an autumn must!

I hunted down (like an animal- get it?) the best animal attire just for you! get ready to get your prowl on...GRRR...

Leopard print leggings- asos

Leopard print snood- Miss Selfrdige

Leopard print trousers- Motel

Tiger Print Jumper dress- New Look

Leopard print jumper- Oasis

Snake Print Blouse- Topshop

Leopard print ballet pumps- Sam Elderman @ Asos

X Factor Fashion

Saturday nights just got a whole lot better. Its back and some say better than ever... it's the X-Factor!

The singing competition is guaranteed to bring, tears, tantrums and talent...as well as my favourite thing in the world...FASHION. There are 2 reasons why I watch the X-Factor (I'm sorry but the singing really isn't one of them!) They are; number 1: Simon Cowell and number 2: the clothes! The style showdown between Cheryl and Dannii is the highlight of the night, and this year even the contestants are stepping up in the style ranks.

I've decided this year I'm going to host my own contest;Cheryl vs Dannii. Each week ill decide on a winner and at the end of the season we'll see who has the X Factor when it comes to Fashion!

Week 1

Saturday Night

Dannii looks like an angel in this white lace dress by J'Aton Couture. The winged shoulders, red lips and old-Hollywood style curls are perfect!

Cheryl opted for an one-shoulderd LBD by Daniel Vosovic...straight  off the Catwalk!  Teamed with Valentino heels, a quiff and smoky eyes; Cheryl was on Fire!

Sunday Night

Oh dear, Dannii Dannii Dannii...She looked absolutely amazing on Saturday but what the heck happened here? The Project D prom dress wouldn't be so bad, but teamed with a dead raccoon  on her head its a definite no no!

Cheryl on the other hand looks gorgeous in a grey Zuhair Murad mini dress. The on trend lace is quite neutral but she injected in a bit of subtle colour with her purple Louboutin's. Another yes for you Cheryl.

So the winner?

Dannii probably came up top on Saturday but her mophead on Sunday lost her major points! Cheryl on the other hand looked her stunning self of both nights so after week 1 it has to be Cheryl 1 and Dannii 0!

The next BIG thing... ★ Jasmin ★

Jasmin is an extremely talented British singer and songwriter whose sweet sound takes you back to the good times of old school RnB, Blues and Motown. Her soulful voice and poetic lyrics are a lethal combination. This girl is causing a stir and is set to be the next big thing!

Her much anticipated performance on Saturday night at C2K in Wembley astounded the crowd who could not stop cheering for an encore! She performed 2 beautiful tracks she had written herself and surprised the audience with an amazing rendition of 'Whose Loving You'. With Michael Jackson as her idol Jasmin has high expectations of herself, she wowed the crowd with this spine-chilling performance, taking her from beginner to up and coming star.

Check out her out on myspace @ www.myspace.com/jasminofficial

For the performance I was privileged enough to style the Beautiful Jasmin. Keep a look out for the pics!

Here's her performance of 'Whose Loving You'....

This is a disaster...

To be crowned the best dressed is one of the most prestigious awards a celebrity can get, but how does it feel to be the worst dressed EVER?

1,264 women voted on myvouchercodes.co.uk for the worst celebrity outfits...how they narrowed it down I do not know! Here are the winners (or is it losers?!)...

number 10

Celine Dion - wearing a white suit (if that wasn't bad enough) BACKWARDS at the 1999 Oscars!

number 9

Lil Kim - her hair matched her outfit and she had a purple thing covering her left nipple...enough said?

number 8

Katie Price - the first time she appears on this list is in a baby pink rubber catsuit, worn to to a singing contest...I don't know what's worse the outfit or the fact that Jordan tried to sing!

number 7

Christina Aguilera - the 'beautiful' star looked anything but when she wore a red, slashed, velvet dress to the Blockbuster awards.

number 6 

The Beckham's - in matching leather... matching anything is just WRONG!

number 5

Gwyneth Paltrow - wearing Alexander McQueen to the Oscars- doesn't sound so bad on paper but Gwyneth managed to mess this up badly...

number 4

Bjork - wearing a dead swan was never going to get you on the best dressed list was it?

number 3

Lady Gaga - surprisingly only appearing once on this list, Lady Gaga's attempt to wear her dinner didn't go down to well...

number 2

Karie Price - well Katie at least you made it to number 2 on one list right? even if it is for your hideous wedding dress....

number 1

Jodie Marsh - To be honest this list is the worst fashion 'outfits' ... does Jodie's ensemble count as an outfit?

Celebs take note... forget about your best outfits....we WILL remember your worst!
