29-year-old Doctor Who actor Matt Smith and 22-year-old British model Daisy Lowe have reportedly called time on their 18-month romance. Apparently Matt chose to end their relationship because he was uneasy about talking about tying the knot with his model girlfriend.

Christina Aguilera hits a bum note in Hervé Léger
Christina, Christina, Christina: why do we get the feeling of déjà vu? It wasn’t long ago you were parading around in your pants at the shops and now you choose this ill-fitting dress to perform at the American Music Awards. Clearly Ms. Aguilera has never been told the golden rule of legs or cleavage (not both) and looked determined to show everything off. Wearing an uber-tight Hervé Léger bandage dress, it did nothing to flatter her curvy figure and made her look uncomfortable on stage. Her saving grace, however, was the glitzy pair of silver Louboutins she was sporting. Undeniably gorgeous. While we usually love her long blonde Goldilocks ‘do, her hair was a bit on the frizzy side for our liking and added to a look which was too bombastic, too garish and too out there. We much prefer Christina polished, refined and glamorous. And before you say it, yes, she’s beautiful no matter what they say etc. … [poll id=”242″]
Read MoreKaty Perry looks geisha glam in Vivienne Westwood
Katy Perry won no less than three awards at the American Music Awards in Los Angeles this weekend – what an accomplishment! Thank goodness she had chosen to wear a suitably show-stopping dress. The singer wore a gown by Brit designer Vivienne Westwood which showed off her famous curves perfectly. The geisha-inspired dress had an oriental printand featured a soaring slit up the leg as well as a low neckline. The pale blush shade worked well with her skin tone and distinctive pink hair, and we love the addition of cool cobalt platform heels for a striking contrast which celebs seem to be loving at the moment. We spy a mini-trend! Katy’s hair was decorated with an iridescent blue floral headpiece which coordinated perfectly with her oriental dress and shoes. Never failing to stand out from the crowd – Katy, we salute you! [poll id=”241″]

Read MoreSelena Gomez wows in Marchesa
Selena Gomez chose to wear no fewer than eight costume changes whilst presenting the MTV Europe Music Awards this week but it was her angelic red carpet look that we favoured the most. Her white embroidered lace mini dress was from Marchesa’s autumn/winter 2011 collection and went down a real treat – we especially love the high neck and dramatic long sleeves. On the runway, the dress actually came with huge lace bell cuffs, but Selena wisely removed them to prevent lace froufrou overkill on the night. She chose to accessorize with a pair of luxe cream and bronze heels from Casadei and a cute read boxy clutch bag while her hair was swept to the side and tied in a loose ponytail. From Disney Princess to Red Carpet Queen? We think so. [poll id=”231″]

Read MoreKaty Perry is a vision in pink
Goodness! The celebs have really been loving fuchsia lately. First Kelly Rowland stepped out in a floor length bright pink number at the weekend, and yesterday, MLF favourite Katy Perry was seen sporting a vibrant hot pink dress. She was pictured in the West End with her mother-in-law, Barbara Brand, after watching Ghost: The Musical wearing a matching pink coat carefully placed over her shoulders. The cut of her dress is totally chic and fits with the old-school Hollywood look Katy does so well. She chose to accessorise with black opaques and patent Louboutin pumps to add a directional edge. While her candy pink hair has had mixed reviews, we rather like the way Katy isn’t afraid to experiment with colour – and she certainly carries off matching her dress to her ‘do with aplomb! Full marks for that matching bright pink lippie too. [poll id=”220″]

Read MoreLunchtime buy: Isabel Marant Yosemite alpaca Navajo cardigan
Paris Fashion Week ended the month-long fashion processions yesterday, and in homage to iconic Parisian designer Isabel Marant, who showed her spring/summer collection at the weekend, we’re coveting this Navajo cardigan from her AW11 collection this week. The Marant girl is the cooler-than-cool chick who can just throw on a jumper and a pair of shorts and look like something straight out of a rock ‘n’ roll music video. This rich cream chunky knit with black, red and yellow Navajo jacquard detailing is one of those pieces every girl can slip on snuggle up in. Its thick knit offers a bundle of practical winter warmth whilst its tribal red, black and yellow loose threads promise to see us right through to the festival fields next summer – quite a novelty, we think you’ll agree. The South American-inspired Navajo fabric featured again on Marant’s spring 2012 runway at the weekend, so you’ll already be one step ahead of the style pack, too. Time to invest in some Parisian chic, we think. Mais, oui! Isabel Marant Yosemite Alpaca Navajo Cardigan, £635.00, available at Matches.

Read MoreLondon Fashion Week SS12: Peter Jensen
This is a guest post by Sarah Driscoll, one of our fabulous competition winners. She’s been hitting the tents at Somerset House as a guest fashion reporter for My Fashion Life to cover as many of London’s spring shows as she can make – find out how she got on when we armed her with a bag full of tickets and sent her packing… Who: Peter Jensen What: Known for always centring his collections around a famous female muse, Jensen’s SS12 collection focused on troubled jazz singer, Nina Simone. Highlights: The safari animal printed suits and floral tulle dresses, rounded off with the cute ankle socks and bohemian turbans. Lowlights: Those who didn’t like the character may have struggled to escape the theme. Thoughts: It’s quite poignant, considering the recent loss of another infamous troubled jazz singer, that Jensen focused on Nina Simone. Simone’s stubborn, strong and independently-minded character was the inspiration for the pieces, and the clothes certainly made that presence felt. White broiderie Anglaise trench coats and ankle strap shoes with socks suggested an innocent femininity, whilst the angry-eyed tortoiseshell sunglasses and huge hair tucked in black straw turbans showed a more dramatic, passionate side – as did the raunchy satin-front bustier dresses. Leopard print cropped trousers and gold lurex jumpers offered a more relaxed, off-duty approach to the glamour, as models walked to a live piano performance, which further enhanced the sense of the musician behind this inspiring collection. Watch the video of Peter Jensen’s spring/summer 2012 show below: Peter Jensen SS12 | Rightster, posted with vodpod
Read MoreAmy Childs’ Essex ‘allure’ in Vogue? Shaaat uppp!
If the elongated title has already confused you, imagine the flummoxed expression when I learnt that Essex’s finest had landed in the holy grail of fashion publications. The reasons for being flabbergasted by this revelation are pretty apparent: Amy Childs is not a super, an A-lister, a fashion-forward WAG or an ambassador for ethical fashion, but merely the by-product of a modern day virus we catch through our television sets: reality TV. Leaning, more than anything, into the unrealities of life (‘vajazzles’ and plush lifestyles without a day’s work), The Only Way is Essex‘s Amy Childs is the cost-effective but highly glamorous answer to Katie Price – who occasionally bursts into fits of controlled laughter, amidst sporadic blurts of “hun” or “babe” with meaningless emphasis when addressing everyone she meets. Having been accustomed to seeing her on ITV2, in sensationalised celeb gossip magazines and now on Celebrity Big Brother, to come across her in the UK Vogue October issue shook me loose of my fashion hinges. As a novice fashion journo, I am guilty of attending a rather incriminating Essex Fashion Week, which lasted the best part of two days with intermittent music due to the DJ’s frequent spasms, orange-stained outfits and uncared-for hair extensions, making the marquee in which the event was held resemble an odour-free hay barn. But I have been left seriously wondering why Alexandra Shulman should grow an infatuation with what it means to be an Essex girl – or Essexite, as I prefer to call it. Vogue, to its millions of avid followers globally, is the pioneer of everything. Anything sartorial; if it’s noted or listed by Vogue and its many ‘-ettes’, will become fashion legislation. So is Vogue featuring Amy Childs set to transform her into some sort of ‘authority’, or is it a […]
Read MoreWhere we went on FNO: the high street
This is a guest post by Lois Mills, one of our (frankly brilliant) competition winners. Last night we sent her on a special mission to sift out the sweetest soirees taking place on the high street at Fashion’s Night Out – and not one to turn down a challenge, she triumphed in her task. Here, Lois shares her experiences on her very first Fashion’s Night Out… The night everyone has been talking about has arrived: Vogue’s Fashion’s Night Out. You know that you can only expect greatness when three of the best words in the dictionary are used all in the same title (and in case you’re having a little difficulty choosing which three words I mean, let’s just say I’m not a fan of the ‘out’doors!). Having caught a little of what happened at last year’s events, and having spoken to Daisy (the other competition winner) about what to wear, I was giving my outfit choice some serious consideration. In the end I went for a very Seventiess vibe, with high-waist purple velvet trousers, a green vintage vest and a studded black belt; topped off with a retro pair of glasses and a black wedge-and-sock combo for my feet! On the train, I was busily taking advantage of the VFNO app; discovering what was going on in every store whilst viciously scribbling them down, trying to be strategic and rank them in order of importance and closeness to one another. A few minutes later, and my list was longer than Oxford Street itself – tonight was going to be hectic! For me, the night began in John Lewis – there were three fashion shows running over the course of the evening, and Mischa Barton was present at one of them. Fingers crossed. I was at the first show, and […]
Read MoreWhere we went at FNO: the high end
This is a guest post by Daisy Jeffery, one of our (frankly brilliant) competition winners who had the chance to hit London’s streets last night and discover the designer parties taking place in the capital’s West End. Here, Daisy shares her experiences from her very first Fashion’s Night Out… From the fashion to the fashionable, the makeovers to the manicures, the champagne to the cocktails (and, of course, the goodie bags!) – the long awaited Fashion’s Night Out hit London last night with more fun and famous faces than you could shake a stick at. The city became a Mecca for decadence and glamour, and from the well-heeled lovelies on New Bond Street to the retro glamazon creatures of Bruton Street, London came alive for the third year running to celebrate what could only be described as an upmarket fashion-frenzied carnival for the weird and wonderful. Kicking off the evening in true British fashion at Burberry, walking down the white carpet and through the velour ropes shoppers were immediately greeted with champagne and rose gold ribbons bearing the scent of the label’s latest ‘Body’ fragrance. Whether you chose to parade the store admiring the trench coats, marvel at the latest collections or kick up your heels to the beat of the live Wolf Gang performance, Christopher Bailey certainly knows how to get the party started in style. Next, I hit Louis Vuitton‘s Maison for a paparazzi-inspired event, where the store hosted a bunch of photo booths to capture the moment while Vogue photographers mingled with the crowd. Six foot beauties in their highest of heels sipped on Mojitos while marvelling at the world-famous bags, as the Armani-clad males sporting Robert Pattinson-esque ‘dos checked out the artwork on display at the back of the store. It was Mulberry, however, who flew […]
Read MoreWho wore it best? Katie Holmes vs Lucy Liu in Azzedine Alaïa
We’ll level with you – we’re kind of obsessed with lace. It’s so feminine and flirty that we can’t resist anything with even a hint of the fabric on it. So when we saw this short and sweet Azzedine Alaïa dress on not one but two celebs this week we practically sang with joy. And naturally, the question fell to this: how did these starlets style it, and who wore the trend first? Katie Holmes was the most recent to don the dress to the MTV Video Music Awards last week. The actress accessorised with a suede tan pair of Proenza Schouler lace-up ankle boots, which though we love, we think make her legs look a bit stumpy on this occasion. Still, we’re still lusting over her luxurious tresses and simple but efficient make-up. However, Charlie’s Angels actress Lucy Liu wore the Alaïa dress back in July to a movie screening in New York. She teamed her lace number with elegant nude pumps featuring peep-toe detail, and we love her addition of a popping berry clutch to brighten up the dark dress. But whose look are you loving? Katie’s cute ‘n’ cool style, or Lucy’s lady-like elegance? Cast your votes below! [poll id=”192″]

These would be your rock and run shoes, the one’s you’d work for that ‘look-at-me-working-it’ moment when you need to impress. They’re almost (and this is what I love about them more than anything) like individual leather jackets for your feet – I mean, come on, what more would you want as the colder winter months draw in? So when it comes to the price tag; £575? Pouf! It would be gone in a second when it comes to these. Alexander McQueen Faithful Boot, £575, available at Alexander McQueen.

Read MoreModelling prodigy or exploited pre-teen? Meet Thylane Lena-Rose Blondeau, the 10-year-old French model
We’ve become accustomed to seeing spotty teens take centre stage and call the showbiz shotguns in the music and film industries. Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, Elle Fanning and Hailee Steinfeld are all products of these menacingly enticing and lucrative vocations, but look past the red carpet events, clamouring fans and sell-out nail polishes and the questions begin to surface: when do you draw the line? At which point should entry be refused to the money-spinning career club? When we heard about 10-year-old Thylane Lena-Rose Blondeau, apart from her super-long name, we weren’t confused by the unassuming pre-teen. That was until we stumbled upon a heavily photo-shopped image of the said minor posing for French magazine, Cadeaux. Dripping with makeup, bronzed beyond her years, donning a metallic gold dress and heels three sizes too big for her whilst surrounded by bunnies, was far more suggestively siren than we liked. At 10, Blondeau is only a few years shy of making a highly-expected modelling debut and following in the Nicholas Kirkwood shod footsteps of teen catwalk queens Karlie Kloss, Daphne Groeneveld and gap-toothed Lindsey Wixson. But images surfacing of the pre-teen looking increasingly mature and appearing in editorials semi-naked or spread across animal hides in grown-up attire make us feel slightly uneasy. Her premature blossoming before the lens is somewhat unnatural, given the circumstances she’s being photographed in, and although her remarkable beauty and striking features are so prominent at such a tender age, the fashion industry reigning in on this and utilising the power of Blondeau’s unique aesthetic to create something disturbing is unfair. It’s a known fact that a youthful and otherworldly look is a prerequisite for a successful modeling career, but falling below the teen boundaries to reach this kind of visual is dangerous. Positioning the modeling lifestyle and […]

When the news spread on Saturday that Amy Winehouse had died in her Camden home, the music industry and fashion industry alike felt a heavy loss. She was without doubt one of the biggest talents of our generation and paved the way for the host of solo female singers we have today. Here at MFL we will miss her unique fashion sense – her gravity-defying ebony beehive, the winged eyeliner, those ahoy-there tattoos, the rockabilly ensembles…. We loved her because she was an individual. She dressed like she had just walked off the ‘Happy Days’ set and rocked the fifties look with aplomb. Karl Largerfield dubbed her “the new Brigitte” (after Bardot). She took inspiration from Dusty Springfield, The Ronettes and Billie Holliday but her look was pure Amy. She made it her own. From those cinched-in mini dresses, flashes of bra and tottering heels to her Fred Perry polo shirts and ballet flats, she was a true fashion icon. Even though she’s gone, her legacy will still live on. Not just in music. When you see a girl walking down the street with her hair piled high in a messy beehive, that’s Amy. When you choose to wear super thick winged eyeliner to rock up your look, that’s Amy. That girl you see on the bus with pin-up tattoos all down her arm, that’s Amy. RIP Amy, the most unlikely fashion icon of them all…..

The dress itself was taken from the label’s WRTW Fall/Winter 2011-2012 collection, and although it looked stunning upon Karen’s slender frame, we’re not quite sure her matching barnet does the overall look justice – it’s just to much tango for our liking. But that’s not to say she didn’t look absolutely stunning on the night, oh no, there’s just too much of an orange overload going on for us to take it all in. A bit hit and miss here Karen.
