Colour with Pastels

Summer days, pastel colours. Wonderful. There are a whole host of shapes, styles and shades for you to choose from...

Like this Paul Smith sweetheart bow bubble dress. In powder blue with an applique bow as the central feature, the dress is faultless and is exactly what those summer days need. For those colder days, wear with a pretty cardigan and white tights or with a t-shirt underneath. Whichever way you wear it, the dress will look simply beautiful.

That classic one...

Every girl needs a dress that makes her feel sophisticated. But sometimes, too much sophistication is well, too much. Too strict, too forced. However, this amazing dress by Jaeger London is the perfect sophistication dress that should belong in your wardrobe. A little more updated than the classic LBD, in a dusty pink colour with three quarter length sleeves and detailing on the skirting, it is perfect for those days when only sophistication will do...

All the dresses...

The Grammys. A big night for every artist, a big night for every designer. The important dresses are on the important people. There were some magnificent creations and some not so magnificent. So who was wearing what...


A bizarre combination of two dresses, unsuccessfully attached together and creating one mis-matched, tacky, bewildering dress. All above neckline Jennifer Lopez is Jennifer Lopez. Luxurious curls and dramatic eyes. And from neck down she's returning to her 'J.Lo' persona with her fishing net like dress combined with what looks like a gold lamé dress from American Apparel. She can do better.

Office wear made chic. Jennifer Hudson in a Victoria Beckham design was destined to go places. It shows off her amazing curves by nipping her in at the waist and accentuating her beautiful hourglass figure. It may well be plain and simple, but the fact of the matter is that she looks classic.

A perfect Grammy award winning dress. A white floor length gown with delicately draping on the hips and intricate ruffle detailing is sure to be a winner on the night. Her Elie Saab dress is perfect, making Rihanna look every inch of the goddess that she is.

She never fails to astound. In a Stephane Rolland number Beyoncé wins the award. Hugging her in all the right places and in the colour of the season, she was definitely the Queen of the night. Her subdued makeup and sleek hair completes her elegant look wonderfully.

Collette Dinnigan for M&S...

Famous for her glorious sequins, exquisite sense of glam, the Australian designer is launching her own lingerie collection 'Collette' for M&S in March 2010. Speaking of her line for the brand, she said; "The collection combines luxury fabrics, impeccable cuts and my signature romantic feel and palette." Finally. A luxurious underwear collection that doesn't break the bank and will make us feel like the Blair Waldorf of our time. I can sense the collection is going to be a very big hit and with underwear as outerwear big for this season, there's an extra reason to indulge in some pretty lingerie...The collection is available in M&S stores from March 2010.

Fashion and 2010...

Over the weekend, the magnificent Marc Jacobs has announced that his fashion show will be streamed live to his website on February 15th. While giving fashion fans everywhere a virtual front seat, he is one of many designers to jump on the streaming ship. With the likes of Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton and Alexander McQueen the virtual front row is the new hottest seat in the house...

Stay out of the showers...

A classic trench coat is a wardrobe must for every year. And this year a favourite of mine is Topshop's 'Premium Bound Seam Trench Coat'. Black bound seams against the grey makes the coat an iconic wardrobe piece. Beautifully belted so you can decide how fitting or loose to wear it which helps the coat transform from a daytime coat to an evening coat. Nip it in at the waist for those chilly nights out and leave a little looser for a wonderful daytime look. It does seem a little pricey at £185 but it's versatile design makes it worth every penny, and with those April showers you will relish in your new purchase...

Dolly Girl...

Think pinks, think nudes, think peach blush. Think sweetness and light, and you have Spring's ideal look down to a T. Gone are the days of khol eyeliner (leave that to Taylor Momsen), push that to the bottom of your makeup bag and invest in some pretty pinks, peaches and rose tints to be on trend for Spring 2010. Benefit should be your first stop, their irresistible products will have you glowing in seconds. For the complete look, add soft curls, ballet buns or pretty headbands and you will be picture perfect...
