Gucci launches their kids range

Hi guys....
Its been a little while since I have posted hasn't it? I know!!
Just been trend hunting as I do, as a stylist you really do have to keep up!!


A few things that have interested me within the fashion world...
J.Lo and her twins doing the Gucci kids range campaign awww sweet...

The new range is available in two age ranges, from 0-2 years, and 2-8 years, the range includes clothing, sunglasses, shoes and much more! How adorable is that? And what a great way to launch the range with J.Lo herself and her 2-year-old twins Emme and Max.



The campaign shot by Mert and Marcus in Malibu...








Britian & Irelands NTM...

Yeahhh... One of my fav show is back!!!
Funny I was complaining to my mum that all my programs I set to record have finished, so I had nothing to watch, I really do not watch TV when the show is actually on I'm always in my recordings and I had nothing recorded.
Anyway the first episode of BINTM aired on Tuesday (12/07/2011), it was the search for the contestants, and let me tell you all eyes on Grace Woodward or what. What a fab lady she is great style of course and she really does tell it like it is!!! To right and all I personally think she was the star of the show!! I love Mr MacDondald great man and of course the ever so handsome Charley not forgetting the graceful, elegant presense of Elle, great panel of judges I do have faith they'll pick a great model.

Grace has gotta be my favourite, smashing style shes stunning.

Naughty online shopping tips...

Hi Guys,

Hope all is well and your enjoying the weather we have had!!! *eyesrolling*
Well I've been doing a bit of holiday shopping, but I love a bargin so I just want to share a few tips that I have found as I have been shopping.

Usually when purchasing an item (well actually very rarely depending on the item) I like to try on, but the fashion retail stores nowadays have such great returns and refunds policies you can afford to purchase and try at home.

Well sitting at my computer looking at the sale items on various websites, thinking maybe I can catch a few items that maybe sold out in the shops.

Right guy's let me get to the point... it's good to sign up to sites such as http://www.vouchercodes.co.uk/ sites like these have great fashion voucher codes when shopping online etc. good to look out for these they offer discounts, free deliveries etc.

I also had a thought whilst on the Debenhams website, they have their blue cross sale at the moment and are offering free delivery on orders via vouchercodes website. Now, Debenhams has Warehouse, Oasis, Faith, KG, Carvela to name a few. concessions so why not purchase these items from Debenhams and have free delivery as opposed to the actually store websites. You got to shop around and if 1 offers free delivery and the other does not take full use of this and instead of paying for delivery buy yourself a little something extra!!!!!!!




So keep your eyes peeled for these deals, you may may save yourselves a bit on the delivery charge.

Summer, Summer, Summer time.....Back in the Seventies

Hmmm... summers here, well at least I think it is!!
The sales have started, so now is the best time to start shopping for them summer goodies (to take on your hol's)
So many trends to choice from, the trend I'm  loving and always have before it was show cased on Spring/Summer catwalks is the Seventies and to top it off guy's Biba's back in case you didn't know.

So...The seventies well I was born in the eighties but I have a fair, well good idea of the seventies trends as I have studied this, History of Fashion and all that...

So we all know about the flares and the platforms and... all the rest well all these hot looks have come back.
I'll be telling you guys what and what not to choose according to your body shape!! I can provide this service personally x x I can let you into a secret that the flared trouser are best suited for the taller woman, but there are options for the petite ladies.

Hear are some Seventies trends from the catwalk, the ones that I lovvvvvvve!!!


Salvatore Ferragamo Autumn/Winter 2010
 

Clohe Autumn/Winter 2010
 

 Gucci Autumn/Winter 2010

What do you guys think of the Seventies trend?.....

Summer, Summer, Summer time....Neon brights

OOOOooo, bit of eighties styling I say neon!!

The yellow and the orange and the green all florescent of course, love these colours they can really brighten up an outfit, just a hint will do, you do not need to go all out from head to toe you'll stand out just as well with a subtle hint, a subtle hint is what I advise.
Initially seen on the streets but has trickled up to the catwalk of Spring/Summer 2011.

We know that this is not such a new trend, I remember wear florescent quite some time ago, it's already been on the high street, the change this time shown on the catwalk are the full length gowns at Michael Kors and the colour blocking shown on the Gucci catwalk.

Go Gucci......
Spring/Summer 2011

Kings of Neon @ Michael Kors...
Spring/Summer 2011

Go for a hint of neon with accessories

Ralph Lauren Collection Erica was £450 now £315


Jimmy Choo Damian leopard print clutch was £1095 now £547.50


The Toywatch has got to be 1 of my favourite's love it!!! £130





Go for neon nails and/or eye make up looks fab!! I'm loving the Nail's Inc colours and the varnish is long lasting so thumbs up for the Nail's Inc definitely recommended by myself.


Please comment on this look, would you consider this look? is it a yay or nay? Let me know...

TopShops Tassels

Gosh I nearly died and went to Heaven when I saw these beauties, they are absolutely gorgeous.
Do you know what, I wouldn't even mind if I couldn't walk in them, I'd have them in a glass cabinet just to look at. Yeah they are high, but in theory the wedge gives you even balance, well thats what I think!

Topshop perspex tassel wedges S/S 2011



Tassels are this seasons trend, we've previously seen small tassels on bags and loafers but now they're bigger and brighter than ever before.

I must say I am going mad over wedges this season!! For those who love high heels like myself but dislike the discomfort wedges are top of the list!!

My wedge fascination started when I was bought a pair of wedged boots for my birthday, they where purchased in Office and fit like socks, I went on and on to everyone of my friends "you gotta get these, they feel like socks!"

Here they are my Office Minky Linky grey suede boots now £30
So since I've purchase the wicker wedge gladiator sandals love em too.
Wedges are definitely the way forward love them sooooo much!!


What do you think about wedges???
And do you like the Topshop perspex tassel wedge??
