The return of Paloma Faith
I am so pleased about the return of Paloma Faith, the quirkiest Goddess of music. I’m a huge fan of her music, love her live performances and her mad as a box of frogs persona, and I totally adore her off-the-wall personal style which amazes, amuses and grabs admiration in equal measures. In an era of stylists and perfection, Paloma offers something unique to the world of fashion. In many ways she is the natural heir to Isabella Blow’s throne, at the moment nobody can rock a fascinating (and sometimes bizarre) hat like Paloma can. She also uses the costumes of her previous careers in burlesque and as a magician’s…

Celebrity High Street Style featuring Cheska Hull, Una Healy and Caggie Dunlop
It’s time for another celebrity style round-up, this one featuring style from the High Street and online that is totally affordable for anyone who wants to ‘get the look’. There is just so much good stuff on the High Street at the moment that it is no wonder that some fashion obsessed celebs have found it very easy to step away from the designer labels in order to embrace a more affordable style. Here are some of the top spots from the last few months. Gemma Cairney in Nelly. Gemma Cairney was the celebrity DJ at the Nelly launch, so it is not surprising that she sported a very pretty…

Jessie J – Her best Looks
She adds the glamour to The Voice, the touch of femininity on a panel chocked full with testosterone. Jessie J is currently one of the most photographed and lusted over women in the World at the moment, and her wardrobe inspires avid admiration from her legions of fans. Jessie’s wardrobe has a tomboyish edge. On The Voice we have no Cheryl Cole style evening dresses or Tulisa form-fitting mini’s, Jessie opts for skin-tight leggings and leather trousers teamed with duster and kimono style jackets in a sea of bold primary colours. Jessie’s figure is amazing, she knows she can get away with the form-fitting catsuits that would have many of…

Style focus – Marina Diamandis
The great thing about British pop music is that quirky style Queen’s always emerge to add extra visual interest to those videos on heavy rotation on MTV. From punk Queens like Poly Styrene, to 80s legends Bananarama and more recent songstresses like Paloma Faith, Shingai Shoniwa, Amy Winehouse and Jessie J, British singers have shown a style and uniqueness that has made them quirky, unique and highly original. The latest lady to add into the mix is Marina Diamandis, also known as Marina and the Diamonds. When Marina first emerged I found her style to be a little bit too garish, full of wacky prints and body skimming catsuits. But…

Rihanna’s hot label – Boy London, available at Selfridges
She is probably the hottest star in the world at the moment, so when Rihanna choses to wear a label for her appearance on the Jonathan Ross show, there can be no surprise when that same label posts a 45% rise in orders over the weekend alone. The label in question is the iconic Boy London. I love this label so much because it reminds me of being a little girl who idolised a totally gorgeous Madonna, who often wore the label in the 1980s. The label was famous for the eagle logo t-shirt that was much-loved and much copied during that period. And now Rihanna has shown it to…
