First look: Cheryl Cole goes all Lady Gaga on us in new video for ‘3 Words’

Her last video Fight for this Love concentrated on the military trend (how much did we love that gorgeous red jacket!) and Cheryl Cole’s newest video 3 Words appears to have taken a cue from another lass who loves to take her music video fashion to extremes – Lady Gaga.  Sporting a blonde wig in [...]

Red alert: Get into the colour of the season

This season it’s all about red.  From the runways to the red carpet, all shades of scarlet have been showing up in the fashion world.  And as we head into the festive season, there has never been a better time to wear it.

Everyone’s wearing: Sequins

Party season is upon us, and chief among the trends for partywear is – of course – a bit of razzle-dazzle sequin embellishment.  There’s nothing like a bit of glitter and shimmer to really amp things up for evening, although you may not want to go too overboard with the sparkles (read: avoid adding on [...]

Editor’s Pick of the Day: Minimarket black zipper wedge ankle boots

As soon as we spotted these fabulous Minimarket wedge ankle boots on one of our favourite bloggers (Carolina of Fashion Squad), we knew we’d do whatever it took to get our hands on them.  Unfortunately, we couldn’t find them on the Minimarket site (do they even deliver to the UK?), so you can only imagine [...]

First look at Shirley Manson and Elijah Wood for Oliver Peoples Eyewear

We had been wondering just the other day whatever happened to one of our favourite 90s grunge goddesses Shirley Manson of the band Garbage.  And then this Oliver Peoples ad popped up before us and we’re now feeling a bit spooked out!  A quick Wikipedia search (c’mon, you know you do it too!) managed to [...]

Get her look: Agyness Deyn in glam-rock leather skirt

With the 80s revival in full-swing, one of the fab looks we are excited to interpret is cool rocker and slogan tees worn with leather.  The first time around, we’d bet you’d be pairing your AC/DC t-shirt with some acid wash jeans, a bulky leather jacket and some seriously massive hair.
In 2009, the look is [...]

Weird shoe of the Week: Office Marvellous Sequin Bootee

This week’s weird shoe is certainly a doozy.  We reckon it looks a bit like something a Christmas elf would wear to the office party, but whether that’s a good or bad thing, we’ll leave up to you!
With a low-but-not-too-low heel and sexy cutaway to expose the front of the foot, the blue and silver [...]
