The New Must Have Bag – Snakeskin

Friday, November 23rd, 2007

ASOS Red ClutchCelebs are going crazy for Python arm candy at the moment, and luckily for us less fortunate beings, high street stores are stocking up too.

Whether it’s in the form of a tiny clutch or a huge shopper you can wear it anyway you like, and it’s perfect for day and night. The great thing is you can get these bags in a huge range of colours so you will be nailing about 3 trends at once.

I have found a couple that may catch your eye, a gorgeous Red Clutch from ASOS which comes in 4 colours for only £12, or a Gold Clutch from Topshop for £18.

Look Saintly in All Saints!

Sunday, November 18th, 2007

The Nocturne DressIf, like myself you’re a bit of a magpie when you go shopping and are drawn to anything shiny and delicious, you will love the ‘Nocturne Dress’ from the one and the only All saints!

Look saintly this Christmas in this slinky gold metallic dress! Apart from the obvious luscious gold fabric I was also drawn to the front twist detail that gives it that extra edge! This dress will definitely see you through the Christmas party season and may even get you a kiss under the mistletoe!!

The fit of the dress is extremely figure hugging as it is ribbed therefore is going to accentuate those lovely curves and unfortunately those annoying lumps and bumps that seem to grow over the festive season! If you are a bit concerned about this why not try wearing it as a top with some dark denim jeans and gold metallic sandals it will look just as striking!

Order yours today from All saints online for £120!

Topshop Studded Platform SandalWho else has been a sucker for pyramid studs this season? I know I have been! Whether they’re on belts, bangles, jackets or bags I just have to have them!

Browsing through the ultimate shopping site today; Stylefinder, you can imagine my excitement when I spotted these fab sandals from Topshop that look exactly like the Burberry pair I have been lusting over all season! I have been constantly green eyed whilst spotting these burberry beauties on the likes of J.Lo and Alicia Keys but now there is no need to be with Topshops fantastic replicas at an affordable £65!

However lets not forget the Burberry studded platform that inspired Topshop in the first place, here’s a little pic for you and if you’re seriously minted I definitely recommend you splash out and grab yourself a pair for £495, after all theres nothing like the real thing!

The Satin Bow Louboutin’s

Friday, November 16th, 2007

Christian Louboutin Anemone Stiletto PumpsI am desperate to get my hands on a pair of satin bow Christian Louboutin shoes, that I have seen promoted in all the best fashion print, but am not a London local so have patiently waited for them to pop up on the net and they are finally here!

The Anemone Stiletto Pumps are these black crepe satin beauties with a heel height of 120mm (sky high), a large satin two tone, black and white bow on the back of the heel, have a pointed toe and carry the signature red Louboutin soles. They are £480 and would make a plain little black dress dazzle. Think of all the money you can save on accessorizing by purchasing these instead!

Little Jewellery Boutique

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

Double Stone BangleI was browsing the web when I came across this gorgeous and stylish jewellery site; Little Jewellery Boutique.

Little Jewellery boutique showcases designers from cities all over the globe including London, Paris, LA and Sydney. The site promotes an eclectic variety of jewellery from ten very talented designers. Each designer has their own individual and quirky signature style that you won’t be able to resist!

This beautiful stone and wire combination bracelet was my weakness, it was produced by Susan Hanover who is inspired by the colours and textures of South Africa; her native country. Her collection is very much based around these lush semi-precious stones that are extremely striking, particularly for an evening. This photo shows three bangles stacked together, each bangle costs £39.95.


Get the Nouveau Look!

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

Nouveau Collection Grey DressSo it looks like Principles are upping their game this season by producing a whole new limited collection called ‘Nouveau.’

This extremely trendy new collection offers a more fashion forward approach that will definitely entice a younger audience. I personally think this collection will help to give Principles (typically known as a shop for mums) a fresh and exciting new image.

With a strong emphasis on cut and form this collection is perfect for those who love precision and want to look sophisticated as well as sexy. One of my favourite pieces from this collection is this metallic grey cocoon dress, I think the detailing around the neckline is just fab; fashionable but still oozing with sophistication, teamed with thick black tights or maybe ‘funk it up’ with shocking pink or blue azure legs, the choice is yours!

This dress has a price tag of £99 and can be purchased from Principles online.


Glam Chick Style

Monday, November 12th, 2007

I have just been browsing River Island’s website and had to show you this screen shot from their ‘Get the Look’ section. They have called it Glam Chick and this is so the look I have been waiting for! The gorgeous leopard print faux jacket (£64.99) is stunning and goes really well with dark skinny jeans (£36.99) as shown in the image.

Also loving the patent peep toes (£54.99), such a great style for the season and this pair has that little bit extra with gold studs at the front.

Check out River Island for more great styles of the season or to purchase some of the items from this look.
