Having had a fairly long stint of a block-colour trend in bags, it is now time for a little more experimentation with detail. Clasps, jewels and the odd ‘ornament’ aren’t strangers as embellished clutches are steadily growing in popularity. In terms of shape; the clutch is bigger and bolder than it was last season with oversized clutches vying for dominance over the ‘big bag whilst little box clutches beg to be noticed.
Read MoreThe new ‘It’ bags for this season
It is my opinion that at this present moment, Alexander McQueen epitomizes twenty-first-century fashion. His brilliant new designs for autumn/ winter 2007 are truly inspired and embody all the finer aspects of his signature style. Whilst I am a fan of the collections as a whole, I have a particular weakness for bags, and so was somewhat vulnerable when exploring the new collection. McQueen’s bags are always a favourite, the designs are classic yet possess a modern stylish air. The Cream python ELVIE bag immediately captured my attention and is a viable contender for the new ‘It’ bag. For a more artistic, perhaps less practical bag, the gold sequin and black stingray clutch, provide an attention grabbing accessory for any evening outfit. Get your fix over at alexandermcqueen.com

First we’ll start by identifying if you truly have an hourglass body or if you’re more of an inverted triangle (hey, both gorgeous shapes!) before diving into the styling tips and tricks you need to show off your upper body, cinch in that waist, and flaunt your feminine curves. Definition of the hourglass body shape An hourglass silhouette is all about curves in the right places, a fuller bust and hips, petite waist, plus wider shoulders for true symmetry. It’s common to mistake this shape for the inverted triangle or rectangle. How can you tell them apart? Easy! The key difference is the balance between the upper and lower body.

Barrel leg jeans are the new must-have style that’s taking the fashion world by storm. With their signature wide-leg design that tapers at the ankles, they create an irresistibly unique, barrel-like silhouette. What’s not to love?

How To Choose The Right Outfit For A Casual Event
Finding the right outfit to wear to a casual event can be a major challenge, especially if you don’t want to spend a fortune on finding something you might not even wear again. This is why it could be a great idea to come up with an attire that you can wear to any event while being casual enough to wear on a normal day out in the park or to the mall. Below we suggest some simple tips on how to choose the right outfit for a casual event. T-Shirts In addition to never going out of style, t-shirts are the perfect clothing piece that anyone, regardless of age and size, can wear at any event. The ideal t-shirt makes people look and feel relaxed, but also elegant. For the sizzling summer days, you can pair the t-shirt in endless ways, especially if it’s an eye-catching graphic tee. Tees come in many styles and designs, all of which can speak volumes about your personality and interests. For instance, if you’re into gothic clothing and want to find an edgy graphic tee, look for one that has gothic elements and pair it with your favorite pair of jeans and complete the look with a white pair of sneakers and a small over-the-shoulder bag for a comfortable yet stylish look. You can also add some bold accessories like a big buckle belt or a trendy ring. Attention-Grabbing Socks When you think of accessories that might give your outfit a lift, rarely does anyone think of a pair of socks. Usually, our drawers are full of plain white or black socks that we wear for just about any event. So why not leave the plain socks at home and instead experiment with colors and patterns. It’s easy to stick to the safe […]

8 Accessories Every Strong, Independent Woman Should Own
As you get older, you gain sartorial experience and know what works for your style. You no longer wish to compromise on quality or versatility, and you understand that having one very well-made object is worth five items that may be trendy but aren’t of as high a quality. By the time a woman has hit her stride, she has a pretty good sense of her style. And, hopefully, she has a few high-quality accessories that can take her to the opera for a night or dinner with her girlfriends. If you’re building your wardrobe and want to express your bold personality, here are eight accessories for strong women, from high-end women’s watches to stylish bags. 1. A Stylish Hat A hat is an integral accessory that is beautiful and useful to keep the sun off your face and protect your skin against photodamage. The type of hat you choose is dependent on your sense of style and your face shape. For form and function, look for fedoras that give your ensemble a retro, 90s vibe, or opt for a broad-brimmed Panama hat in felt to add texture and depth to your outfit. Cashmere or Merino wool knit beanies are luxe options for the cooler months, and a newsboy’s cap gives just the right measure of insouciance to an otherwise basic outfit. 2. Quality Belts Another accessory that instantly ties together an outfit and gives some shape to even the most voluminous clothes is a good belt. Belts aren’t just for holding up your pants. A black, obi-style wide belt with a big buckle looks great with summer frocks and helps transition into cooler seasons. A skinny belt can nip-in at the waist to transform a shapeless outfit and give you enviable curves. If you wear your belts under your […]

Victoria Beckham Is Literally The Lady In Red In London
We usually adore every outfit Victoria Beckham meticulously puts together, which is why it pains us to say that we’re not loving her latest look at all.

Mix and match: The best ways to stretch your wardrobe
Sometimes, buying a whole new seasonal wardrobe just isn’t possible, whether it’s because you don’t have the funds or the time to scour the high street for what’s on trend. This is why it pays to mix and match with a few statement pieces to really stretch that wardrobe. Unsure how to go about doing this? Here’s are some of the best ways: Buy into basics Basic t-shirts, jeans and jackets are easy to throw on and evergreen pieces will never look off trend. Look for plain oversized t-shirts and pair one of these with skinny jeans and high tops for simple casual style, a simple skater dress and heels works for nights out or even days spent in the office. Opt for easy to style colours such as black, khaki, white and navy to ensure that wardrobe can stretch as far as possible. Stock investment pieces Your outerwear should make an impression and that’s why it’s a good idea to invest in one of the hottest women’s summer jackets this season. This means making your choice from embroidered denim, quilted bombers and smart trench coats and pairing these with the basics of your choice. One great jacket can truly make a whole wardrobe and is a key piece to base whole outfits from, making it super easy to stretch what clothes you already have. The right shoes They say shoes make an outfit, so opt for a pair that go with everything and you’re set for the months ahead. In the summer, a simple pair of flat sandals that don’t kill your feet are ideal while in the winter ankle boots go with everything and can even be pulled out once autumn rolls around. Dabble in last season It’s so easy to adopt a piece that was huge last […]

How To Make The Right Fashion Choices For Your First Date
You’re a glamour puss, a thriving fashionista, a towering figure of couture quality – but you still can’t think of what to wear on your first date. It’s a problem we’ve all faced, that nail-biting dilemma of which dress to choose, which heels will match, and which clutch bag will tie the entire outfit together. What’s more, you’re not even sure what kind of date you’re supposed to be going on. Is this a casual meet-up, the kind where you grab a cup of coffee and a cake, or is it the whole shebang, where you’ll head to a classy restaurant and maybe nip back to theirs for a ‘coffee’ afterwards? It’s impossible to tell, especially in the era of Tinder and Netflix and chill, where ‘meeting up’ could be synonymous with ‘hooking up’ or ‘a romantic dinner for two’. Now now, calm yourself down and take a deep breath. You can get through this. Just chill out and look at our fashion tips. You’ll be ready to meet your new potential beau in no time. Dresses reduce stresses Floral dresses are always a safe option as they’re extremely versatile. You could comfortably sit in a coffee shop wearing a floral midi dress – but they could also see you through to an impromptu dinner date at a classy restaurant, or even a trip to the opera. The floral dress should be a staple of your dating attire, especially if you’re not too sure what format your date will take. It’s the even hand of dresses, the Jeremy Corbyn of dresses, unlikely to rock the boat. The safe haven of a bag An effective bag is vital on a first date, preferably one that can fit all your most valued cosmetics. If you end up in a kitsch nightclub, it’s […]

Best Dressed Of The Week: Kate Middleton At The Battle Of Somme Service
There’s a growing consensus that Kate Middleton’s style is getting a tad predictable and dare we say “boring”. But we beg to differ. The Duchess of Cambridge has a good grasp of what suits her and steers clear of unflattering outfits. Plus she’s not adverse to recycling an outfit or two which gives her extra fashion brownie points in our book. Her recent public appearance at the Thiepval museum in France for the Battle of Somme Commemorations in France saw Kate looking both chic and demure in a lace cream dress and black heels with a matching clutch bag. The Princess complimented her outfit with an elegant Lock & Co, hat and pearl earrings. We love Kate’s look. Yay or Nay?

What to Wear to a Charity Event?
What the North East may lack in sunshine, it more than makes up for in style. The area has a rich history of statement fashion and pioneering design. Of course, true style comes from one’s ability to tailor their look to any occasion, and with Amilio Couture’s Charity Fashion Show just around the corner, it is important to know how to bring the best out of yourself for such a prestigious event. Amilio Couture’s Charity Fashion Show is being hosted by St James’ Park, Newcastle, on Thursday 30 July, and is being held to help raise money for Children with Cancer UK.

Stay warm with our 5 must-have accessories for Christmas
AW14 saw huge success on the LFW catwalks and now that winter is here, it’s time to put those AW14 trends into practice. Here are 5 must-have winter accessories to introduce into your wardrobe this December. The Tartan Scarf / Cape Tartan is everywhere this AW. From Burberry Prorsum and Vivienne Westwood to Marc Jacobs and Mother of Pearl, tartan has been a common contender in this year’s runways. Whether you’re shopping for the perfect Christmas gift or looking to treat yourself this December, the tartan scarf or the tartan cape really is the ultimate must-have accessory. For something super luxurious, we love this navy tartan cape by Saint Laurent. The Cashmere Knit Cashmere is the ultimate luxury. Every girl needs at least one cashmere piece in her wardrobe and this winter, high quality knits are all the rage. Catwalk legends such as Diane Von Furtensburg, Mark fast and Prabal Gurung led the way with knitwear on their AW runway shows and some of the hottest colours included cobalt blue, pillar box red and muted nudes. For a cobalt knit, we’ve chosen this fabulous cashmere jumper from Edinburgh Woollen Mill. Embellished Gloves As seen on Alexander Wang, Louis Vuitton and Chanel catwalks, ornamented gloves are a great accessory for yourself or for a Christmas gift to someone special. Embellished gloves, whether beaded or adorned with gems, chains and tassels, are a quick way of bringing a simple outfit bang up to date. These Valentino stud-embellished gloves make the perfect stocking filler… Rose Gold Wristwear Rose gold is still a prevalent jewellery trend in AW14 and this year, we’ve seen various developing colour trends including single tone design (black on black, blue on blue) within the watch world alone. Rose gold is a romantic and elegant colour, which bridges the gap […]

Hailee Steinfeld steals the Miu Miu FROW show!
Paris Fashion Week – and Fashion Month as a whole – ended with the same bang it started with, and we have the Miu Miu show and its FROW attendees to thank for that. While Shailene Woodley, Liv Tyler and Nicola Peltz looked impeccable on the front row as they watched the spring/summer 2015 season pieces glide past them on the catwalk, it was not-so-little-anymore Hailee Steinfeld who stole the show for us. The actress wore a pale pink Miu Miu dress for the occasion, which came complete with subtle white detailing on the edges and a bejewelled collar at the top to add some sparkle. Hailee completed her cute-as-pie look with a matching sparkly headband, but added some grown-up edge by way of some bold eye make-up and a snake print clutch bag. Flawless! Hailee Steinfeld is the personification of the Miu Miu brand and everything it stands for – and we bet Miuccia Prada can see a little bit of herself in Hailee. We love!

The perfect AM to PM dress and how to wear it!
Finding one outfit to wear for an entire day is easier said than done – especially if you’re a busy yet fashion conscious lady. Is it possible to find an outfit to wear to the office and the cocktail bar without so much as a change of shoes? Is it feasible to wear one dress for an important breakfast meeting, afternoon tea with the girls and then straight to a fancy dinner with the boyfriend in the evening? Of course it is – and we’re going to prove it to you! The key to nailing the AM to PM look without having to carry a spare pair of heels in your bag or fumbling around in a small toilet cubicle and asking the next woman to enter the bathroom to zip you up (so awkward!) is to invest in a day-to-night dress. Forget about the accessories on this occasion – the most important thing is the dress. And what kind of fashion journalists would we be if we didn’t scour the net and do the searching for you? So ladies, we are introducing you to the perfect 24 hour dress, drumroll please, the Avery dress from Ghost London! The Ghost Avery dress comes with three-quarter length sleeves, is made from satin back crepe and features a gorgeous and attention-grabbing Hatty floral print all-over. The black and red colours are perfect for wearing this upcoming autumn/winter season – not to mention totally striking! As for what to wear with it? Easy! The dress does all the hard work for you, so all you need to do is match it with some black, nude or red accessories to ensure they complement the dress without stealing too much focus – and also to make sure the dress is the first thing people see […]

Leslie Snake Wedge Sandals by Tory Burch – £146 Previously priced £325 (thank God for season sales) these wedge sandals are decorated with a gorgeous snake print and an almond coloured wedge, perfect for staying glamorous on the beach while sipping a skinny Mojito and soaking up the summer sun. I personally think snake print creates the perfect balance out of all of the animal prints. It’s subtle and sophisticated, yet you can still easily make a statement out of it. Snake prints always creates the perfect clutch, Tory works her magic there too in her Clara Wristlet Clutch Bag from one of her past collections.) 3. Baron Von Fancy Tote by Juicy Couture- £88 Witty and practical, not only does this tote bag make the perfect bag […]

Our top picks from the French Connection sale!
Packing your holiday suitcase or just adding new pieces to your spring/summer wardrobe can be pretty pricey, which is why we’d recommend taking advantage of the sale season and snapping up everything your hands can carry before someone else beats you to it. And one sale which never lets us down is the French Connection one which is happening online and in stores right now! Some of the season’s most-loved pieces from chic dresses to cute tops and much more have been slashed in price, ready for their brand new homes! We’ve been browsing the website all morning (and all weekend, if we’re honest) and have found three items which we definitely couldn’t live without. 1. Marble Pool Shirt. It’s all about stylish separates this season, and this shirt makes it very easy to mix and match with some of your pre-existing wardrobe staples. Team with a black pencil skirt and a chic jacket for the office, or with some bright trousers and statement necklace for an evening with the girls. It’s also the perfect office-to-bar piece; the styling and accessorising possibilities are virtually endless! 2. Bel Air Tweed Biker Jacket. This is the biker jacket to trump all other biker jackets. We love how the tough nature of a biker jacket is juxtaposed with the soft pink hue, and the refined tweed fabric makes it perfect for wearing on hotter days when a traditional leather jacket wouldn’t. 3. Belle Garden Shift Dress. The clue is in the title for this one. You really will be the belle of the ball (or summer party) in this stunning creation. Perfect for sipping cocktails on a beach bar on holiday or teaming with sky high heels and a fierce clutch bag for an evening of dancing a little later on in the […]

Kate Middleton recycles Alexander McQueen dress for Buckingham Palace Garden Party
We don’t care how many times we see Kate Middleton in this Alexander McQueen dress; we don’t think we will ever tire of it! You can never have too much of a good thing, right? The Duchess of Cambridge attended the Buckingham Palace Garden Party yesterday afternoon (what perfect weather they had, too!), and opted to wear a stunning cream Alexander McQueen knee-length dress for the occasion. The dress – which was custom made for her by Sarah Burton – was previously worn during one of the Queen’s many Diamond Jubilee celebrations at St. Paul’s Cathedral back in 2012. This time round, accessorised with a Jane Corbett hat, a Russell and Bromley clutch bag, and L.K. Bennett pumps, all of which were in the same matching cream hue as her dress. We can’t fault her Princess-perfect style; another flawless look from the Duchess!

Leighton Meester and new hubby Adam Brody hit the Tony Awards red carpet
We’ve been raving about her former Gossip Girl co-star Blake Lively a lot these past few weeks, but now it’s finally Leighton Meester’s turn to get our sartorial praise. The actress and new Mrs Adam Brody (how cute are they as a couple by the way?) stole the show as she arrived at the Tony Awards, which were held at the world-famous Radio City Music Hall in New York City last night. Leighton wore an absolutely stunning white floor-length Antonio Berardi dress from the pre-fall 2014 collection on the red carpet, with an an Emm Kuo clutch bag and her gorgeous new hubby acting as her only accessories. We love the minimal approach Leighton took for this look, but most of all, we love the retro old Hollywood glamour hair style she chose for the occasion. It complements the dress and the rest of her make-up perfectly, which makes this look absolutely flawless from top to toe. What a great look to kick off the week; the standard has been set pretty high!

Beyonce steps out in Burberry petal shoes
Beyonce has had a bit of bad press this past month or so; what with elevator gate and rumours of a marriage split, it’s safe to say that she is in need of some good press right now. And she’s definitely going to get it thanks to her latest look, which comprised of a hot pink dress and the Burberry Prorsum petal shoes we have been coveting since we first set eyes on them on the spring/summer 2014 catwalk back in September last year. Poppy Delevingne and Angelababy are a few of the famous faces that have already been spotted out in the shoes, but we think Beyonce gives them a run for their money. Whether it’s the rest of the outfit or the American singing superstar effect or a little bit of both, there really is no contest when it comes to who wore it best. If you want to make like Beyonce, you can get your hands – or feet, rather – on the Burberry petal shoes right now. They come in pink as sported by Queen Bey, as well as a lovely shade of green if that’s more your colour. Matching clutch bags are also available if you don’t like doing things by halves. Do you love Beyonce’s Burberry look as much as we do? [Image c/o Burberry]

Get Louise Roe’s Cannes look
We’re still obsessed with all the looks from the Cannes Film Festival – especially ones which can be worn off the red carpet without looking like a lot Princess a’ la Enchanted. Louise Roe’s pale blue jumpsuit from Reiss, no less, is the perfect example of this – although she fit right in at the Cannes Film Festival, her look wouldn’t feel out of place on the streets of a stylish city either. Here’s what you’ll need to get her look: Faint denim jumpsuit, £195, available at Reiss Gold box clutch bag, £30, available at River Island Metallic gold court shoes, £149, available at Daniel Footwear

Samantha Barks does stripes right at Pradasphere Harrods launch
When the beautiful Samantha Barks stepped onto the Oscars red carpet last year in a stunning black Valentino dress, we knew that she had found her look. Ultra glamorous (and somewhat risqué) eveningwear was her forte… but that doesn’t mean she can’t do slightly more casual and girlie either. The Les Miserables actress joined host of other famous faces from Daisy Lowe to Suki Waterhouse to launch the highly anticipated Pradasphere at Harrods last night, and stood out for all the right reasons in her blue and white striped dress by, you guessed it, Prada! Horizontal stripes can be a bit dangerous when worn the wrong way, but Samantha made the trend look effortlessly east to pull off. We love the off the shoulder design, and think the ankle strap sandals and contrasting blue and white clutch bag complemented the dress wonderfully. We couldn’t have chosen a better hairstyle or lip colour, either. A fantastic look to end the week on; what do you guys think?

Kate Moss launches her Kate Moss for Topshop collection in Oxford Street!
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few months, you’ll already know that Kate Moss’s brand new Topshop collection officially went on sale around the world yesterday. And the supermodel launched aforementioned collection in true supermodel style, by taking over the Topshop flagship store on Oxford Street, then celebrating with all of her famous friends at an exclusive after party. And what did Kate wear to debut her collection and meet and greet her army of fans? Kate Moss for Topshop of course! The original Croydon gal wore a Kate Moss for Topshop Lamé Tuexdo Suit Jacket and matching trousers with a scallop trim cami top underneath for the main launch, and then slipped into something more glamorous for the after-party. Kate wore the beaded fringe jacket we have been lusting after for quite a while, and teamed it with a Lamé Bias Cut Maxi Dress and a black and white zigzag clutch bag. Seeing Kate Moss rock all of these looks from her new collection definitely proves how personal each and every piece is; she wasn’t lying when she said she was inspired by her existing wardrobe! The Kate Moss for Topshop collection is available to buy in stores and online right now!

Kate Middleton wears Diane von Furstenberg wrap dress in Australia, sells out in eight minutes
Diane von Furstenberg may have designed her iconic wrap dress with the curvier woman in mind, but that doesn’t mean tall, slim and svelte women can’t enjoy them too. Case in point: Kate Middleton. The Duchess of Cambridge wore a gorgeous black, blue, and white DVF ‘Patrice’ wrap dress while visiting Australia’s Blue Mountains (you see what she did there?) to spend time with those affected by last year’s bushfires. And as expected, she looked impeccable! Her dress came from the current Diane von Furstenberg ready-to-wear collection, and has predictably already sold out – in eight minutes no less! Kate accessorised her stunning wrap dress with her trusty Stuart Weitzman cork wedges and carried a black Stuart Weitzman clutch bag. Kate really is giving us a little bit of everything on this Royal Tour – has she saved the best outfits ‘till last? We guess we’ll just have to wait and see! [Grazia]

Kate Middleton wows in New Zealand in her respective Alexander McQueen and Jenny Packham outfits
What is better than ogling one Kate Middleton outfit? That’s right – ogling two! It was a busy day for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge yesterday, as they continued their tour of New Zealand by firstly attending the Blenheim War Memorial and then heading off to a lavish state reception at Government House. Not before a quick change of outfits, obviously. Kate firstly donned a beautiful custom blue coat dress by Alexander McQueen – not hugely dissimilar to the Utility Coat Dress that comes in pale blue and black versions from the pre-spring/summer collection – and teamed it with a chic ponytail, and matching suede shoes and a Stuart Weitzman clutch bag. Another sleek and sophisticated look from the Duchess! She then upped the glamour factor for the lavish reception in the evening; she still stuck with a British designer as far as her outfit was concerned, but swapped the Alexander McQueen for another one of her favourites: Jenny Packham! Kate wore a stunning bespoke black Jenny Packham dress, complete with long sleeves and a sparkling fern on the left shoulder – an obvious tribute to New Zealand. Her trademark voluminous locks were back in action, giving us serious shine and curl envy all at the same time. How is it possible for one person to be so perfect? Two flawless looks from our future Queen – what do you guys think?

Flower power: The must-have items you need right now!
As we eagerly anticipate warm weather, many of us are already hitting the shops to stock up on all of the latest clothes to see us through the summer. Now, unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably spotted what’s going to be huge this season: florals. Not content with ruling the runway, they’ve invaded the high street too. Here are some of the items we won’t be without this season. Equipment Jungle Blouse The gorgeous print of this Equipment Jungle Blouse, available at Trilogy, is an ideal summer staple. Team with a pair of smart white city shorts, sharp-cut white blazer and barely-there heels for a cool androgynous look that’s perfect for the office. For an off-duty springtime outfit, wear with a pair of matte-look leggings, before swapping for a pair of classic denim shorts come summer. Equipment Signature Jungle Blouse, £340, Trilogy Missguided Roxiana Clutch Bag Looking for a subtle way to introduce this season’s florals into your wardrobe? The vibrant Roxiana clutch bag from Missguided could be just the answer. Adopting the bold prints that have ruled the catwalks this year, the bag oozes a stylish summer vibe.

Missguided Roxiana Clutch Bag, £14.99, Missguided Claire’s Flower Bun Garland With the flower bun garland from Claire’s, you can even incorporate fun and flirty florals into your hairstyle. Buns are a great practical summer look, perfect for days at the beach or glamorous evening events. This versatile bun garland is a simple and cost-effective way to add a feminine, on-trend touch to any look.

Kate Hudson is spring-ready in Emilio Pucci
Spring is coming! At least Kate Hudson wants us to believe it is… and we’re definitely ok with that! Kate Hudson looked positively glowing as she attended the BVLGARI Presents ‘Decades of Glamour’ party hosted by Naomi Watts in West Hollywood yesterday, and chose the perfect outfit and colour combo to offset her enviable golden tan. We’re not at all jealous, honest! The actress (and face of Ann Taylor) wore an attention-grabbing plunging yellow blouse from the Emilio Pucci spring/summer 2014 collection, and accessorised with a matching white leather skirt, white pointy Christian Louboutin heels, and a dazzling clutch bag. The effortless, non-distracting up-do and the essential BVLGARI jewels completed her bold look perfectly! [Image]

7 fab Fashion Month essentials!
For some people, February is all about Valentine’s Day, but for all the budding fashionistas in the world, the month of Feb is all about fashion. New York Fashion Week, London Fashion Week, Milan Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week – all four cities which have their own distinctive and irreplaceable style! So, dressing for Fashion Month – regardless of the city or how much show-watching you’ll actually be doing – has to be done right. You need to get the dressing for the chill and dressing stylishly balance just right. We think we’ve got it sorted with our seven suggestions below; what say you? 1. Ah the great Fashion Week footwear dilemma! Do you go for sky high heels to complement your cute dress and to be the same height as the rest of the ladies and models or do you go for comfort? Nine times out of 10 we would have gone for the former, but since flat shoes are loved by the likes of Alexa Chung and Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel, we think we’re going to go for flats this season. Plus just think how warm these boots will be? 2. The bag is probably one of the most important accessories. If you’re a high fashion magazine editor, a celebrity or someone who won’t be working at Fashion Week, by all means go for an adorable little clutch bag that fits a mobile phone and extra lippie – especially if you’re being chauffeured around from show to show. But for the rest of us who have to slum it and walk to shows, a good sized bag to fit everything from iPads to chargers to make-up bags to an extra pair of flats to food (yes we all need to refuel between shows) is absolutely vital! 3.

Naomi Campbell brings glitz and glamour to the National Television Awards
It was a bit hit and miss on the National Television Awards red carpet last night, but one lady who definitely didn’t disappoint was Naomi Campbell. It might not have been her night (although we would love to see her on a British soap – how amazing would that be?!) it certainly didn’t look that way on the arrivals red carpet as she pretty much stole the sartorial show. Naomi shone like the red carpet goddess she is in a gorgeous floor length Michael Kors Resort 2014 glittering dress, and gave her fiercest look to the cameras while posing it up. She was also the perfect person to present Strictly Come Dancing with the Best Talent Show gong because, as we all know, Strictly is all about sparkles and glamour! Naomi proved that you don’t need any extra accessories or even a clutch bag with a dress of this glamour, instead just finishing her look off with a sleek and straight hairdo and bold eye make-up. Perfection!

Trend alert: Grunge!
If you paid attention to some of the biggest spring/summer 2014 catwalk shows, then you’ll already know that grunge is making a huge comeback for the new season. Hedi Slimane was all about grunge and rock ‘n’ roll for the Saint Laurent spring/summer 2014 show, and Marc Jacobs also went dark and alternative for his final Louis Vuitton collection. (A great way to bow out, don’t you think?) So, with two of the biggest fashion players championing the trend, we have every reason to get behind it too! We’ve already seen the celebs try their hand at the grunge trend by incorporating certain aspects into their red carpet outfits and as they go about their everyday lives, and now you can get in on the trend too with these very basic items. 1. Our top pick for going grunge is a leather jacket. Nothing says attitude better than a fierce bit of leather draped across your shoulders, and this Christopher Kane jacket is the perfect hue to wear over the rest of your black clothes and accessories. Christopher Kane cracked leather biker jacket, £2,490 £871.50 2. Make your eyes stand out by lining them with the darkest and boldest hue of black eyeliner you can find. Yves Saint Laurent black eyeliner, £24 3. A great thing about the grunge trend is being able to wear flats; black leather boots will not only convey attitude, but you’ll be super warm and comfy in the process too. You can be bad-ass without putting your feet through hell, too! Dune Black leather biker boots, £195 4. The more studs and spikes in your accessories, the better! This clutch bag pretty much has it all, doesn’t it? Pierre Balmain studded clutch, £593.91 £386.04 5. A band tee is the final step to completing your […]

Gwyneth Paltrow is Worst Dressed of the Week in Valentino
Oh dear! If ever there were a fab to drab transformation, this peculiar look from Gwyneth Paltrow would certainly top the list. Attending the 2014 Golden Globes on Sunday with husband Chris Martin, Gwyneth cut a (sartorially speaking) sombre figure in a wash-out Resort 2014 Valentino mini dress. Giving the red carpet walk a miss this year, the actress appeared as though she’d been put together last minute, with very little thought given to hair or makeup. OK, so she was probably going for the effortless, nonchalant look with her wispy down-do, but HULLO, these are the Golden Globes! The pale blue and gold brocade dress hardly flatters Gwynie’s awesome figure (even though it shows off her toned pins), and does no favours for her make-up free complexion, either. A slick of bright lipstick could’ve gone a long way here, Mrs. Martin! Paired with suede Valentino platform pumps and a cute clutch bag, the accessories are certainly winners, but look dull pitched against the colour-drained dress. After all the frock-ery that went down on the GG red carpet – many of the looks making it onto our Best Dressed list – this was certainly not one of them. The only thing rescuing you here is that beaming smile, Gwyn… What do you make of Gwyneth’s look? Does it look like she couldn’t be bothered? (Naughty.) [Image]

Ashley Madekwe is a colour block dream in Roksanda Ilincic
Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! We were so excited to see this refreshingly colourful look from Ashley Madekwe on the InStyle and Warner Brothers Golden Globes after party red carpet. Don’t get us wrong, we loved the sparkles, the mono-colour, Sofia Vergara’s ballgown and Sandra Bullock’s tri-colour dress on the main Golden Globes red carpet but we can’t help but smile when we see Ashley’s Roksanda Ilincic strapless colour block floor-length dress. And we’ve been looking at it a lot over the past 24 hours. Can you blame us? Ashley completed her look with a matching yellow Alexander McQueen clutch bag, and kept her hair slicked back and out of her face, and her make-up and accessories minimal. Easily our best-dressed after party lady!

Kate Middleton debuts darker hair in Temperley London dress at SportsAid Ball
Kate Middleton made another highly anticipated appearance last night, as she attended the SportsAid Ball in London in another killer ensemble. Her public appearances aren’t as frequent as we would like them to be now that she has a little Prince to look after, so we appreciate them even more than usual. Predictably, the Duchess of Cambridge didn’t let us down! She arrived in a stunning lace dress by one of her go-to designers, Temperley London, which sat pretty just above her knees and showcased her slender, enviable pins to the world. She accessorised with a bold red Alexander McQueen clutch bag, and trusty Jimmy Choo heels. The yummy mummy also debuted a brand new slightly darker hair colour (she probably felt the pressure to hit the dye after a rogue grey hair caught the media’s attention…) which is perfect for the new winter season. Gorgeous, as always Kate. And it goes without saying, but the dress has already sold out!

Taylor Swift does her best Kate Middleton impression in Reem Acra and Jenny Packham
What does one wear to meet the Duke of Cambridge, Prince William? How about something by one of his wife’s favourite designers? Yep Taylor Swift made sure she flew the flag for British fashion as she met Prince William during last night’s £500-a-head Winter Whites dinner in support of Centrepoint, a charity for young homeless people. The singer stepped out in a stunning white Snow Queen reminiscent Reem Acra dress and accessorised with a clutch bag by Kate Middleton’s go-to designer, Jenny Packham. Ms Swift clearly did her sartorial homework, which is more than can be said for Jessie J who flashed a little too much flesh while meeting Prince Charles at the Royal Variety Performance. Taylor Swift’s Princess-inspired up-do was the perfect accompaniment to her elegant and regal attire. Oh, and during the dinner, something amazing happened… Taylor Swift, Prince William, and the one and only Mr Jon Bon Jovi huddled around a microphone to sing Living on a Prayer. Pinch us, we think we’re dreaming!

Highlights from the Mulberry spring/summer 2014 press day
Yesterday we headed to one of our favourite spots in Kensington – the Mulberry showroom – for the spring/summer 2014 press day! If we had left the MFL office earlier, we would have run straight into Kate Middleton selling poppies at the tube station! Never mind, eh?! We got up close and personal with the new ready-to-wear collection. It consisted of fun florals, luxurious textures, perfectly executed tailoring, bright colours juxtaposed with subtler hues, and much more. Our favourite pieces included a pink striped top and skirt, a white floral dress, and a bright orange dress – what can we say, we love a bit of colour! Now the best bit: the bags! It was all about the double sidedness as far as the bags this spring/summer 2013 season were concerned. That means you can wear a white clutch bag one day and flip it over and wear the black version the next. Or you can totally unzip them and give one to your best friend for an incredible colour coordinated outing… just make sure she gives it back at the end of the night. Probably easier said than done! It wasn’t just about the clutch bags though – all our old favourites also came with a double sided design too – two times the space and ten times the fun! The rest of the accessories didn’t let us down either – belts, scarves, purses – you name it, Mulberry is all over it! Another stunning collection that hasn’t disappointed. Here are more of our highlights from the new-season collection:
