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,…

JB’s in administration – teenage fashion memories.
I popped into Sainsburys on Saturday to pick up hair colour, having made a knee jerk decision that I needed to go blonder, and whilst there I noticed that lots of the October style mags were out = Marie Claire, In Style, Harper’s Bazaar etc. So, obviously I grabbed them and got into the long Saturday Lottery queue. And there, on the front of the local Express and Star was the emblazoned headline ‘JB’S IN ADMINISTRATION’. Legendary Dudley venue under threat of closure. I instantly felt sick. JB’S couldn’t possibly close, it’s an institution,where bands like the Wonderstuff, Neds Atomic Dustbin and Pop Will Eat itself had started out. The…
