Get the Naked truth about Nudes!!!

Burberry versus Asos.com
Burberry have great nude bags this season, for this high end look try Asos.com pastel colour block tote from £32. This bag is a favourite of mine and is on my must have list!








Celebrities like Khloe Kardashian and Ciara strut the red carpet with their Louboutin nude heels. The new Louboutin in town is the ruffle heel and you to can create thelook as Love Label at additions.co.uk have a fabulous pink pair.




If you love the simple Louboutin look try Topshop they have great Secret Platform shoes in nude for £65.




Ankle boots are very on trend, and Rocket Dog have fabulous flat boots in two great colours for $49.50

Maxi dresses are huge this season and are great for beach chic, daytime shopping with a denim jacket or a denim waistcoat or for a night out with a great pair of wedges. Dorothy Perkins have maxi dresses for £26, they come in several neutral colours and flatter all body types.










Dont just stick to the one colour, try different colours like blues, pinks and charcoals! If you are wearing beige or cream make sure the colour does not blend into your skintone or you really will look nude lol!

Spring back into fashion this season!

This spring sees the return of colour, and comes as a welcome break from our dark, drab winter wardrobe. As predicted spring colours are all about pastels. For inspiration look to Glee's guidance councillor, Emma Pillsbury's. Light blue cardigans, crisp white shirts and mint green tailored skirts are not just for the classroom




Everyone is doing floral' s this season, from DKNY jumpsuits to New Look ruffle dresses. Try mixing this look with a peach blazer or a short denim jacket.



When you think of clogs, you think Amsterdam, women with pigtails and living in windmills....but with style icons like Alexa Chung rockin' the Chanel leather clogs, you cant go wrong. Chanel's pricetag may well be out most peoples price range, so Banana Republic and Russell and Bromley have came out with a cheaper alternative, so you too can date an Arctic Monkey!






The Mac is Back...but with an updated twist. As the sun begins to shine, shorts macs should be in your possession. Play around with different colours, military style and prints from animal to metamorphic.




Alice in Wonderland was a huge blockbuster this year, and has sneaked its way into fashion. From Alice in Wonderland tees from Truffleshuffle.co.uk to Alice bands and stopwatch necklaces from Topshop, This look can also be captured with blue dresses, white cardigans and stylish pumps. For all those adventurous fashionistas out there try a cream tutu skirt from H&M and a a plain white Tee. We will all feel like we are in a fashion fairytale!



My Fashion Predictions

Skulls - Think pirates of the Caribbean meets Gwen Stefan's "Rich Girl" video
African - Gearing up for the world cup(No football shirts allowed lol)
Preppy - Pastel polo shirts, denim skirts, college hooded jumpers.
Gingham - Not just for Dorothy from the wizard of oz!!


Fashion Do's and Dont's
Dont - wear you hair in a high side pony, you will only look like Napoleon Dynamites girlfriend!
Do - Dress age appropriate "In L.A. we call that look 'Nickelodeon Chic"
Do - Mix and match clothes. Army, Khaki jackets with dresses
Do/Dont??? - Wear socks with heels. This can be hit or a miss, so I am undecided


Style Icon of the Moment - Leighton Meester

We all know Leighton for playing the upper east side rich girl Blair Waldorf in the hit series Gossip Girl, but whether she is Blair or Leighton, she is always a fashion vixen!

Blair's look in Gossip Girl is very high fashion, even at school she wears her Jimmy Choo shoes or carry's her books in her Hermes Birkin bags. Blair's most famous for one staple fashion accessorie - Hairbands. No longer were hairbands only brought out at your childhood birthday parties or the gingham ones you wore to match your schools summer dress, they were now a must have!!

Leighton's fashion sense is quite different from Blair's prim frocks, although she is a girl who loves her dresses but Leighton prefers more out there prints and fabrics and often teams them up with a cropped leather biker jacket for that rock chic look. Leighton can also be seen wearing the latest Herve Ledger dresses, and tends to favour bright and bold colours.

Whether she is Blair or Leighton,she is always on trend and is definitely a style icon!
