Chav-Chic!


I went to the Arcadia high summer press day yesterday and feasted my eyes on the summery delights that Dorothy Perkins, Topshop, Wallis, Miss Selfridge and Evans have to offer the high street this season. Candy colours, bleached coloured denim, florals and tribal prints filled each rail. I noticed loads of maxi dresses aswell- always a good one for summer!

The best part of the day was getting my nails done by the WAH girls - Check out these bad boys!! Loving Chanel!

The LBD



Every girl needs a 'Little Black Dress' right? Well look at this website we've found! Yep, a whole site dedicated to that favourite wardrobe staple... The LBD.

At theLBD.co.uk, you’ll find an unmatchable selection of little black dresses from some of the UK’s hottest independent designers. Whatever look you’re after, you’ll find something to suit, from the feminine, ‘50s-inspired designs of Betty B to the sumptuously sexy creations of Zsofia Weber. In addition, most of the dresses are made to order (many by hand) and available in extremely limited quantities so you'll never have that 'Damn she's wearing my dress' moment ever again! Woo Hoo..

Pay Day Blues...


Right now Clare is sunning herself in Miami on main fashion trips for the summer issues of the mag and I'm stuck here in the freezing cold manning the fashion desk and cupboard with the interns. Its still manic here in fashion world and I'm busy calling in for main fashion pages, shopping pages and requesting tickets for Milan, London and New York fashion weeks! Busy Busy Busy..
I went to Warehouse high fashion press day today and it was bursting with girly florals and cool urban ethnic vibes- defo one to watch.

Yesterday on my lunch I sauntered into Miss Selfridge to have a nosey at the new spring stuff- OMG they have amazing bits in there at the moment! cute floral mini skirts, printed jumper dresses, uber cool studded leather jackets and cutesy spotty blazers. Im heading straight there when I get paid on friday with my 40% discount card! Oooohh yes (don't hate me!)

Pay day was so long ago it feels forever since I've had money for new clothes!! However- I did purchase this bag this week- My emergency credit card was crying at me for mercy but it got swiped anyway. Cha-Ching!

StyleStalker




A fashion savvy design duo have made the pastime into an inspiration. Australian-based friends Sue-Ann San and Rachel Zeilic were drawn together by their mutual addiction to stylestalking, scouring magazines, trawling the web and travelling to all parts of the world to devour all things style- They decided to create a label to satisfy their fashion cravings and the result is stylestalker. What began as a small online shop has become a label with more than 100 international stockists.

Inspired by the coolest girls on the block, this luxe for less fashion label stylestalker offers the perfect way to step into the stilettos of stylish icons such as Ashley and Mary Kate Olsen, Chloe Sevigny and Sienna Miller at a fraction of the cost- That 'I want what she's wearing' drama has just become that little bit easier..

The label offers a extremely wearable take on current classics such as body con, leather jackets and fringing!

Alexa Chung for Madewell



Alexa Chung already has a Mulberry bag named after her (That we are DYING to get our mitts on)—now she's set her sights on a clothing line with US J.Crew's sister brand, Madewell.

Alexa Chung for Madewell, the brand's first celebrity collaboration, introduces 20 styles—think dungaree dresses, high-waisted skinny jeans and oversize jackets—that capture Chung's downtown rocker-chic laid back vintage style.

"I was being offered so many collaborations for a long time, but I held off," She says. Alexa's collection will include, "polkadot tea dresses, dungaree dresses, high-waisted skinny jeans, oversize wool jackets with velvet and lace accents, and T-shirts with Chung’s photographs and illustrations, about 20 styles in all." Alexa describes the line as "things you wouldn’t mind getting dirty in and things that I actually wear." The collection hits stores and Madewell's upcoming website in late August. This is the collaboration that we have certainly been waiting for. Date for the diary girls!!


“I want to bring back forties tea dresses, sixties mod dresses. . . . I want to bring cute back.”- Yipee!!!!
