Five fashion eras in one month.
July is turning out to be an interesting month style wise, not least because it is the month when retro styling is embracing so many different eras. Just flicking through some magazines and trawling websites I was amazed to see celebs wearing a range of great looks that span from the 1950s right up to the 1990s. Have a look through these and see if agree that for July 2011, anything goes. 1950s – Kelly Brook in Ischia Not always a fan of her sometimes cartoonish look, but I absolutely adore this 1950s style print sundress. This is so Roman Holiday, and I love the clashing print of her Gucci…

M&S ditch those glamorous Adverts
It seems the politically correct campaign led to the nauseous Liz Jones of the Daily Mail have won.M&S have apparently decided to ditch their glamorous ad campaigns that revitalised their stuffy image. The ads, which starred a host of gorgeous women from Dannii Minogue, VV Brown and Twiggy, not to mention Lizzy Jagger and Erin O Conner, are now going to be no more. This is a result of criticism that the brand has received from the press. Liz Jones wrote in the Daily Mail: ‘Never mind yacht frolickers Twiggy, Dannii Minogue, where is the bigger woman on that boat, or the woman in her 70s? Ignore them at your…

Christina Hendricks brings more good news for Curvy girls.
As regular readers of Fashion-Mommy know, I just adore Christina Hendricks. To me, she is just the most beautiful women on TV, with a curvy hourglass figure to die for.

Get the Jessie J look at Harvey Nichols, Birmingham
Did anyone really pay that much attention to this years Britain’s Got Talent? Let’s face it, apart from the Ronan Parke and a batty female Liberace called Jean, it wasn’t the most interesting of programmes…that is until Jessie J appeared. When Jessie J stepped onto the stage, all eyes just shot to her lips, rather than a normal, glossy lipstick, Jessie’s lips were made up in a perfect Union Jack. This left women everywhere shouting ‘Where can I get that look?’ Well, help is now at hand. I can reveal that Jessie was wearing Violent Lips. Violent Lips are a range of temporary tattoos that come in a whole range…

Jessica Alba: Perfect Maternity Style
It has certainly been the year of the bump, from Victoria Beckham to Danielle Lloyd via Selma Blair, Lily Allen and Kate Hudson, it’s seemed like everyone is pregnant. But my nomination for best dressed bump has to be Jessica Alba. She seems to have looked effortlessly stylish throughout her pregnancy, adopting a series of maxi dresses and skirts, pretty cotton sundresses, and customised Diane Von Furstenberg brights in order to remain supremely fashionable throughout her term. Dressing stylishly isn’t always easy when you’re pregnant, swelling boobs and ankles, and the effect of a beach ball under your dress means that you seriously have to adapt from your normal style,…
