Elle Style retrospective – Get the Look with Next.
February 13th sees one of the most eagerly anticipated events in the style calendar. The annual Elle Style awards attract a gaggle of gorgeously dressed stars, all showing off their most fashion forward looks on the Elle Red Carpet. Last years ceremony was a vintage one in terms of style. Thandie Newton, Helena Christianson and Sophie Ellis Bexter all showed serious style credentials, but my personal favourite was the icon that is Emma Watson . Does this girl ever have an off day? Next are the sponsors of this years Elle Style awards and they have set bloggers a challenge. Could you recreate your favourite Elle style look using pieces…

Gaultier’s Amy Winehouse tribute
It has upset Mitch Winehouse, but I think that Jean Paul Gaultier’s couture collection for Spring 2012 is a fitting fashion tribute to Amy. Full of models sporting Amy beehives and dressed in clothes that echoed her inimitable style, this is a collection that inspired by and celebrating Amy at her gorgeous peak, sassy, sexy and glamorous. “I think Amy Winehouse was truly a fashion icon,” Gaultier says of the troubled star, who was found dead in July aged just 27. I totally agree with Gaultier. Amy oozed unique personal style and that is something that has had a profound influence on the way girls dress.Her collections for Fred Perry…

Sarenza shoe Ambassador – Living in shoe heaven
Trying to choose just one pair of shoes from Sarenza is like choosing your favourite choccy from the box of Celebrations, there’s just so many varieties, how can you pick just one? But just occasionally your eyes gaze upon a mystical object of sheer gorgeousness,and you fall deeply in LUST. And that is how I feel about my choice. These are little beauties, Burlesque Beauty to give them their full title. As you might have guessed from the gorgeously pretty yet quirky design, these are from Irregular Choice. I love them for so many reasons – for the name ‘Burlesque Beauty’ which just evokes images of the glamour of Dita…

Big Bags…The pick of the bunch.
A Twitter chat with a fellow blogger was the inspiration behind this post. Marina from ‘talk and type‘ (check it out, it’s great!) and I were talking about her brand new Zatchel, and about all the rubbish we choose to lug around every single day in our handbags. I was moaning about how I constantly find things belonging to both my husband and son in my bag, leading to the ‘no wonder it’s so heavy’ exclamation as I nearly dislocate my shoulder picking it up. I can’t be the only woman who seems to carry my life in my bag. Purse, keys, book, phone, make-up, perfume, Oyster Card, diary, notebook…
