<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Recently I have felt relatively let down with Cheryl's clothing choices, but at the Brit's she was back on form. With barely-there make up and barefoot-look shoes, the focus was all about the incredible dress. The sheer sleeves give the endless sequins more of a sophisticated tone, whilst the cut out makes the dress modern and very, very seductive. This dress is the ultimate crowd pleaser! The intricate pattern of the sleeves gives the dress a definitive finish but fails to be over the top. It's gothic rock at its best; damsel in distress turns grunge princess.</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Camilla Belle never fails to dazzle everyone with her perfectly polished outfits. This dress is no exception. Neutrals are an upcoming trend for the next season, and the shade perfectly compliments her light tan. The elegant folds give the dress an almost Grecian feel whilst the lace cut-outs on the shoulders add a hint of sexiness. The shoes give the outfit more of a statement, with the black popping against the pale hues. The studded bows prevent the look from being too prissy. Miss Belle, you live up to your name!</td></tr>

She's got a perfect butter-wouldn't melt doll face but wears clothes suggesting more of a devil-may-care attitude. It's an interesting paradox, and one I find myself trying to emulate in the mornings when I get dressed. Girly pieces, like the above slouchy t-shirt and prep-school tartan skirt are dressed down with a denim jacket and grungy boots. The result is a youthful look I have fallen in love with. I also adore the patterned leggings teamed with daringly high green satin shoes- it should be all wrong, but some how it works. From now on I'm definitely going to throw on some crazy leggings with an otherwise conservative outfit, or whack out the worker boots with a whimsical summery dress.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Isn't this satchel simply divine? By Proenza Schouler it alludes to Mulberry's coveted 'Alexa' yet still manages to be original. Let's start with the colour: ballet-esque, it will go with everything, but isn't too subtle that it won't get a second glance. It's bright but not in your face; pale but not pasty. With the perfect amount of slouchiness, it will add a whisper of dressed down nonchalance while still allowing the wearer to look polished. The minor problem with this otherwise P E R F E C T bag is the price tag. A 'minor' $1595, it may take more than cutting back on the coffees and impulse 'steals' to be affordable! I can dream... </td></tr>

No longer the destination for 30 year old teachers, they have never been prettier. For a 70's vibe go for a sleeveless brightly coloured one, or for classy edge go for a neutral chiffon number that's baggy enough to billow in the wind slightly and hang over a pair of denim cut-offs. Topshop has a fabulous selection:<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lilly Collins has long been an idol of mine. Flicking idly through some old magazines the other day, I read an interview with her, and it turns out that at the age of just 16 she bombarded any place she could with pitches and ideas for articles and columns before eventually landing herself her first job. That kind of ambition and initiative is truly inspirational. As for the outfit, the 70's is set to be a key trend this spring, and the massive polka dots turn the outfit from cool to kitsch, livening up what would otherwise be an incredibly bland outfit not worthy of comment. The bo-ho hair gives the outfit a laid back feel making her look effortlessly stylish. </td></tr>

And I was right! Lea Michelle wore the dress to the annual SAG awards, but in my opinion she doesn't have enough edge, enough practised nonchalance, the pull it off. This is a dress that on the right person says understated, classy but incredible. It should be worn with daring stroppy make up and undone tousled I-just-came-out-the-shower hair.<br />

Cue lashings of tulle and lace in creamy colours from my current favourite designer, Oscar de la Renta. The following are my picks from his latest collection:<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Flares are set to be huge this season, and Oscar de la Renta adds a flirtatious kick to his take on the design , pairing the trousers with a sugary-sweet ruffled blouse and a patterned cardigan. Yes, the look is a fraction old-school, but sometimes its nice to sit back and reminisce.<br />

I thought I was bored of lace- it had after all been tailing us for the past few seasons and is so copied its impossible to walk into a shop without seeing some intricate lacy design- but this dress is to die for! It should be a very suggestive dress, but the 'Mad Men' length and cute bow make it more seductive. </td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This is the one of the most understated dresses in the collection but manages to be one of the most breathtaking and chic as well. The fit is perfect, clinging in all the right places but still leaving an element of mystery and a hint of floatiness. The colour, gradually changing from silver to off-white, makes the skin glow and emphasizes the wonderful cut of the dress. Expect to see this creation on the red carpet in the upcoming month.</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Previously a colour for the shrinking violets or for those who simply want to play it safe, white was never really an it-girl's colour. That is until this dress came along. Designed by Peter Som, this dress can't get much prettier. The black bow points towards the traditional monochrome combination but the 3d flowers remove any suggestions of mundanity. The aqua shoes give the dress a colourful pop, inspiring an almost futuristic element. </td></tr>

Jack Wills is the current go-to place for whimsical British Heritage clothes and quilted jackets have stormed the highstreets all winter. Thus, I am on the hunt to infuse a bit of prep into my wardrobe, and I think I have found just the item:<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This Jacket, by Barbour, is a guaranteed hit for spring. It's girly enough to inspire a flirtatious element but practical enough to tick all the utility-style boxes, and I'm determined it will be my companion come festival season. I can already imagine myself rocking this at Reading complete with flowers in my hair, ripped denim shorts and traditional black hunter wellies...</td></tr>

In fact, I would go further: she is a style GOD. The biker style leather jacket balances out the pretty girly skirt, and gives what should be a melt-in-your-mouth sweet kind of look an extra edge. The flower applique skirt, left the main focus of the outfit by the plain white t-shirt, is absolutely gorgeous! All in all, the outfit looks perfectly nochalant with just the right amount of thrown-togetherness that is needed to exude the cool It-girl aroma. My only criticism is that Shenae normally isn't afraid to push the boat out a bit- perhaps a coloured t-shirt under the leather jacket would have given the outfit an extra pop?</span>Issy Hamiltonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10035907116362370762noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3187528331547176844.post-91658690227487619622010-09-15T08:28:00.000-07:002010-09-15T08:28:41.794-07:00Seeing Double<em><strong><span style="color: magenta;">The Olsen Twins.</span></strong></em> <br />

border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">I can't get over how much I love the Olsen Twins, even though I'm no longer 11 years old watching re-runs of 'So Little Time!' What I admire more than their acting skills is their talents as designers- together they design 'The Row' and launched 'Elizabeth and James,' to much critical acclaim. You can't help but notice their personal eclectic styles either: both have a penchant for mixing vintage with modern, lace with sheer, colour with colour and the like. You will never see these girls in the same outfit twice. Or looking at all normal. They look like Anna Wintours most loyal disciples, and even though they may not always look 'good' as such, they most certainly always look stylish and original. Which are way cooler adjectives than the simple 'good'! </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The jewels compliment the dress, and give it a winter wonderland feel, but at the same time the dress exudes street edge and cool what with the body con corset and thigh split. I think it's incredible how the dress can be so versatile, changing swiftly from one type of style to another depending on the angle you look at it. It's a great dress! </td></tr>

Instead of just focusing on dresses, the collection extended to boxy birkin-inspired bags self titled after Victoria herself; it was these pale shaded bags which really got the It crowd buzzing. The collection was a celebration of the 'fuller woman'- perhaps an odd choice as there is no woman more renowned for looking worryingly sparrow-like and whose brekfasts probably consist of diet pills and lettuce leaves- using interesting corsets and volume to emphasize and enhance curves. Overall, the collection was extrememly well recieved and her dresses will certainly be heading towards a 'Look' red carpet article near you! <br />
<br />
The best of the collection: <br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Leighton Meester was spotted at a recent premiere wearing perhaps this seasons most covetable jeans, by Proenza Schouler. The jeans are high-waisted, (this season's shape) and a scrumptious shade of blue, perfect for the summer over-hang trend of aquamarine inspirations. The tie-dye effect also ticks the pattern box, as well as exuding effortless cool. These jeans would be perfectly in place at college, but would look equally as fabulous all dressed up for a night out, à la Leighton. <br />
<br />
By wearing a simple cropped knit on top, Leighton ensures that all the focus is on the jeans, therefore keeping her outfit suitably minimalist. The sky scraper heels dress the jeans up, however a sprinkling of gold statement jewellry, perhaps an elegant necklace, would have made the outfit really stand out, taking it from a sigh of 'ahhhhhh' to a exclamation of 'wow!' </td></tr>

With a load of shops taking part, from high street guru Topshop to up-and-coming chains like Bershka, everyone took part. Many shops had live DJ's, competitions, one-off pieces and free goody bags filled with fashion-forward stuff, making it a night to remember. The bigger names, such as Burberry, pulled out all the stops, hosting bands such as One Night Only and throwing monumental parties. Of course, all the big names were out on the town:<br />

Shenae Grimes opted for a pretty vintage dress with an eye catching print and a nod to last season's underwear as outerwear trend. Her statement shoes updated the dress and added a bit of drama to an ultra girly outfit.<br />
Jessica Stroup went for a black embellished dress which showed off her glowing tan to the maximum. Her shoes, being minimal plain black courts, left the dress to do all the talking, following the minimalist trend of AW/2010.<br />
Annalynne McCord looked hot in a tight fitting little black dress, which showed off her statement necklace. Although not quite as dressed up as her co-stars, she pulled the look off, making it look more formal with an elegant hairdo. <br />
Jessica Lowndes, in my favourite dress of them all, looked stunning in a deep yellow toned dress. With its embellishments around the neckline, the look is ever so slightly bohemian. <br />

In my opinion, the picture captured the carefree spirit of summer, and radiated youthful exuberance.

I adore the soft muted palette, and am currently wishing myself back to those heady summer evenings....</span></div>Issy Hamiltonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10035907116362370762noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3187528331547176844.post-32805218594089821182010-09-09T07:28:00.000-07:002010-09-09T07:28:20.875-07:00The next BIG thingChannel hill-billy chic this Autumn with the most coveted and copied luxury item of the season: the oversized jumper. Make like D&G in an alpine inspired number, or head to Primark (I'm being serious, for once, the bargain store has come up trumps!) for a similar sweater for a twentieth of the price. Or, try a cable knit slubby jumper, preferably in a sandy camel colour or dark navy, as seen at Marc Jacobs. For a cheaper version, head to Polo Ralph Lauren. <br />
It's big, it's cosy, it hides the post-flake 99's extra few pounds, and stormed this season's catwalks- what's not to love? <br />

Of course, I started with Topshop, which took me 2 hours in total to ransack...I left empty handed. Frustrated, I moved on to Urban Outfitters, which is my idea of heaven: it's just one enormous dressing up box! With 3 floors, a home collection and a mini library, when shopping in Urban Outfitters one isn't shopping for their wardrobe, they're shopping a lifestyle. Here I picked up a gorgeous new purse, complete with vintage-inspired 50's floral print, and a very cute mug which is a birthday present for my best friend. <br />
<br />
I trekked the rest of Oxford street, Regent street and Carnaby street, going into H&M 3 times, River Island twice, Urban Outfitters twice and Topshop twice. I only bought one more thing. As you can imagine I was fuming- I had come to London expecting to have a very poorly bank balance and as much debt as Britain's economy. Instead, I ended up with three items, as nothing I picked up either fitted, had my size, or was a reasonable price. I did see my ideal bag in London but it was from Miu Miu and cost about £700! The third item I bought was a Topshop Shearling Aviator jacket. I admit I splashed out a bit on this item, but it was the only leather-look jacket I found along the high street which didnt look like it had come straight out of Eastenders. I love this jacket! In a few days time I will get some pictures of some outfits with it, and upload them to the blog. <br />
