Next’s High Gloss Ad Campaign
Every so often, you spot an ad campaign in the magazines that just fills you with lust. This season I have totally fell in love with two campaigns. The first was the stunning Hitchcockian fantasy from Jil Sander. And the second was the High street cornucopia that came from Next. I just adore this campaign, which could easily be High End designer. Seriously, how has Kate Middleton not discovered this store on her High Street jaunts? Featuring the gorgeous Arizona Muse in full Lauren Bacall beauty, I adore the luxurious poolside settings, the gorgeous mix of colours, and the stunning outfits that Next have put together. The green lace peplum…

But the show did go on, and there was one undoubted winner on the night, both in the music and style stakes.

She was perfection, and swept the board with six Grammy wins out of six. Rihanna also wore…

Baftas fabulous fashion – How to get the look.
The bright and beautiful of Hollywood took a trip across the pond for the BAFTAS on Sunday evening, bringing some pretty serious fashion statements with them. Michelle Williams, Jessica Chastain, Meryl Streep and (swoon! swoon!) George Clooney all took a trip down the red carpet, being accosted by a Louis Vuitton clad Miss Piggy on route. There was also a strong showing from the Brit contingent, with Emilia Fox, Tilda Swinton and honorary Brit Gillian Anderson shining on a rather cold winters night. Here are my personal favourites from the night. Michelle Williams drew gasps when it emerged that her classic gown was from H&M. The whole look was…

A snapshot of February’s Key looks featuring Kate Middleton,Emma Watson and Olivia Palermo
Another month is half way through (well, almost) and the fabulous looks keep coming thick and fast. From pre bafta parties and lunches, to perfume launches and public appearances, there have been some fabulous outfits on show. Here are some that I really love, with a few tips on how to get the look. Look 1 – Emma Watson. The always impeccable Emma Watson looked beautiful in a black puff-ball style dress at the launch of Lancome’s Rouge in Love at Selfridges London. This was such a pretty look, from the puffed sleeves and dotted netting, to the puff-ball skirt. I love that Emma always looks so age appropriate, a…

Harvey Nichols Birmingham hosts a Spring/Summer 12 preview
Last Saturday, the brightest and best of Birmingham’s style bloggers risked the threat of incoming snow to enjoy a touch of Spring. The iconic Harvey Nichols store in the Mailbox hosted a special Spring/Summer preview,complete with fashion show, trend reports and an opportunity for a store walk. And, this being Harvey Nicks, all that fashion was complimented with lashings of champagne. The fashion show was a perfect opportunity to introduce some of the new designs coming to the Birmingham store. There was no Victoria by Victoria Beckham, as this collection had literally fled out of the door, snapped up by eager fans who worship at the cult of Beckham. But…
