Mad For Her Style-Alba

Not only is Jessica Alba glowingly, naturally beautiful, but she has amazing style!!! Whether she's at an awards show or taking a break, she always looks amazing.

Asos my NBW (new best website) has also noticed her great style.


Eat These Shorts

Well, you've got to listen to Bart Simpson!

Shorts are really good this summer, wherever you want to go, there's a pair of shorts to pull it off!

Got a sports day coming up? Maybe you need something summery to wear during PE? These cotton hot pants are perfect for you then. They're cute, beaded and only £6. This pair are blue, but from H&M you can get them in candy pink, black, white, blue etc. A Topshop find.


If you wear school uniform, these black mini shorts will make you stand out from the crowd at school. Most people wear trousers, occasionally skirts-do something completely different!This pair are from Warehouse and cost £25. Wear them with a cute pair of black pumps. But please don't wear hotpants to school.

If you're trying to achieve glam with shorts, this white pair make a good pair to try with. Just team the white denims with a luxurious material (like silk) on top, a pretty clutch and some peep-toes. (If you want an almost identical version in hotpants, keep scrolling down)

Wanna be bold? Wear these post-box red hotpants. I think they're very cool. Very bright! They'd look really good with wedges and a plain white top. Add some pretty accessories! £19.99 - River Island.


Like the denim-shorts-on-the-beach Cowgirl look? These shorts from Topshop are sooo nice. They'll look so good with a tan and the white is a classic for summer. The downside is that they're £28. Another Topshop find.

To inspire : Jess Alba in knee-length black shorts;Mischa Barton in tweed shorts.

One Of A Kind

One of a kinds/limited amounts made are so popular that I knew this was a good post to do.

I've found several websites of people who make really unique accessories, clothes, bags etc.

Here are some I reallllly looove.

Oh my god, this piano clutch is fab! If you play the piano and think of yourself (modestly) as the next Mozart, you've gotta get it. It's $42 , which is £22.62 from Naughty Secretary Club.

Here's another cool clutch. This one is very colourful as you can see, it's called Rainbow Briz-ite $42-£22.62. Great for a summer party.


Wow. Don't you think these hairclips are so pretty? The flowers are vintage and made in Japan. So pretty. I want. $12-£6.46!

Please remember that if you want these things, you better get your hands on them quickly as there are limited amounts.

A Touch Of Minnie




NO, it's not the new Lacost fragrance for its 'touch of...' series.

I'm suggesting you take a touch of Minnie and add it to your wardrobe.

Okay, so the reason for my love for Miss Mouse is quite simple. On the 7-10 July, I'm going on a school trip to Pariswith my friends. I can tell you, I can't wait-I'm so excited!!! Even though I carried a Mickey Mouse lunchbox around at school when I was little, and had numerous Minnie Mouse birthday cakes, I've never been to Disneyland! But I did, and do, love Disney.

So, back to Minnie. Look at her here; the little mouse is wearing a cute little white and red polka-dot dress-which is how I always think of her.
Dots are everywhere, which, in my opinion, is a great thing!

I love this little striped halter dress, £35 from Miss Selfridge. And although it doesn't fit the dot theme, it's got stripes, and it's cute.

I looooooove these shoes by Marc Jacobs! Even though I'd probably never, ever wear them-look at the little mouse!!!

You have to have some form of dotty underwear (infact, I have to get some). I love this pair from Dorothy Perkins! £4 each.


Dots by Betsey Johnson.

What A Sweet Summer You'll Have

If you look out of the window in the morning and the weather is s-h-i-t, then get this. It's an amazingly delicate scent which will leave you addicted-trust me I've been there, and I'm stuck. I know you're wondering-'what is it???' The Spirit of Moonflower! So the secret's out, go have a sweet scented summer!

Oh, yeah, in the UK, you can buy it for £5 (body mist) and in the USA, $12.


Sorry I have no problem solver for the weather but I'm not all-powerful, so smelling gorgeous will have to do.

I Don't Think You're Ready For This Jelly

This is a special for your lips, cos it's Summer (or soon) and you can't let them get de-hydrated and dried out! You want them to be liplicious (adapted from 'bootylicious', with some credit to Beyonce ;) )

Okay, so I always have my Aloe Vera Vaseline with me which you can buy basically anywhere, you must have heard of it, and it is so cheap! Just 99p.


But the Body Shop (god, I love that place) has a gorgeous lip-balm, which smells so summery and fruity. It's Satsuma Shimmer Born Lippy. You can get it for £3.50.

My friend Bec has this delicious smelling lip-balm, I can promise you, you'll want to eat it as soon as you smell it! It's cherry flavoured ( I looove it) it smells SO nice! You can get it from Boots and probably other pharmacies. It's called Cherry Lypsyl. Mmmmmm...You can get it for under £2! I love sniffing it.

If I Tell You, I'll Have To Kill You

Yes, I have the answer to something which is probably a very popular question.

I saw (celebrity's name) wear this (item of clothing) and I reaaaallly want it, what do I do?

Have no fear-Asos is here! Crazy about fashion, I loove it!

You can search for a celebrity and (it's like Google!) a list of items come up in the style of,(basically the EXACT same as) your celeb! Plus, they're reasonably priced!

Need some proof?


Look at these great earrings that Sienna wore. The attached hoops are really unique and only cost £4.

And remember Mischa in that white bandeaux dress? Well, at Asos, you can get a top version,AND the actual dress (£25)! I love the top because you can get it reversed in black too! Can you imagine wearing this to a party? I can. Oh, its £18.

Jessica Simpson's halter-top isn't even as cool as this one, which is in her style! It's £16, available in green, white and black.


And I know this annoying Celeb Big Brother winner is hardly someone to base your style on, but think this dress is really cute.It's £35


But Asos doesn't just do in style of celeb's, it also does other brand stuff.

A Pretty Summer Top

Yes, you need one. A pretty summer top is one that you a) you love and b) is summer-able (my new word, you like it?)

I don't usually go for purple, but this top is gorgeous! I really love the different colours, the different layers, floaty feel, and the gathering under the bust. It would look at great alot of places-the beach, a party, shopping, seeing friends, it's very wearable-with the right accessories and clothing, it can adapt to its environment!
And even though it's £18, which is kind of a lot for a top, I think it's kind of worth it.

Goddess Is The New God ;)

I don't know about you, but if I could go back to anytime, one of the eras I'd go back to would probably be the Roman times. The women had such style. So it's no surprise that the ancient style is b-a-c-k.


WARNING-not cheap

This Sass&Bide dress doesn't keep to the expected colours for summer and what the ancient Greek women would wear, but teamed with a light-coloured clutch, shoes or accessories, and maybe even a glowing tan, this would look, in the words of Gwen, super-duper! The ruffles are very pretty and the silver beads add pretty detail. But I warned you-it's £211.25, on sale at net-a-porter.


Thongs/sandals whatever you call them, they are very cool. I love this pair from Dorothy Perkins, they'll complete your whole 'Greek' outfit, and would also look great with denim shorts or a mini-skirt. They're available in brown or silver, but I love this brown pair. £18!

Okay, so I realise that maybe putting that expensive dress here was a bit unfair. With my allowance, it would take me about four months to get that, and by that time, everyone will be wearing wool again. So, I am now searching for another...reasonably priced this time-pinky swear! ;)

.......Results! I've found some great printed dresses and a plain white cotton dress to keep with the light, airy feel.

Here they are-


the dress in the example pic at the top of this post is from H&M and is only £9.99! The red is a more unusual touch to the look. Here's another one from H&M (God, i love them) which is £10 more expensive, but I especially love the red/orange detail round the chest. £19.99.

And finally, if you're going for the more classic Greek look, then get this (or one like it) white cotton dress from New Look for £22!

WARNING-not cheap
I know I said I wouldn't, but I was on net-a-porter, and by chance, I found these AMAZING earrings, they would completely, totally, absolutely (can i think of anymore?) finish your Goddess outfit. They are so unique, i just wish they were £5 in a nearby chain store! But no, they're £60. But so, so, so worth it. Only negative is, if you lose them, the only person you should be afraid of is yourself! Juicy Couture.


Cacharel dress.


Sorry for picture probs-I'll get onto it as soon as poss.

If I Only Had An Unlimited Debit Card


I wish!

I was looking at Jimmy Choo when I found these gorgeous shoes-NO WONDER Jimmy's are so damn famous!
They've got a peep-toe and have very pretty ribbon as a strap. It would be great for prom as long as you had £360.
AND if you don't like the black-they're available in white too!

But be quick-it's only available from 8 may till the 18th! That's 10 days to watch 17 episodes!

So have fun. Get hooked. Be desperate.

If Models Came Back From The Dead



If models came back from the dead, I really think they'd look like these models in Vivienne Westwood's Gold Label Spring/Summer Collection 06. Anyway that's beside the point. I'm not in love with these dresses, I'm fascinated by them.


Is It Just Me

Is it just me or when you think of Chanel, the colours black and white come to mind. I have a feeling it's not just me.

If I was one of those 'rich bitches' (as my friend George calls me-but I have no idea why), and I went to a private school, I would definitely wear this dress from Chanel. To me it just screams elegant schoolgirl. It's from their spring haute couture collection. Infact, I could just imagine a rebellious girl at a convention wearing this.

Practical or Perfect?

In Bay Trading and I found this really lovely, little rasperry coloured shrug. It was SO nice! Naturally, I tried it on, and it really added colour to my outfit. So this little shrug was £15. Which, I think is a little too much. But it was very nice.

Later on we were in Topshop, and I was looking through the buy-one-get-one-frees, (most of which were not that nice and none in my size) when I found this amazing top. It really is something special. 100% silk, dark blue, crinkled material, nearly halter-neck and nearly backless. Can you imagine it??? Well, if you can, it's 20 times better than that. It was reduced from £25 down to £15, so i bought it, even though that little raspberry shrug was still in my mind...but I got these pretty french knickers free with it , so that was a bonus.

But I really can't make my mind up whether I should bring it back or not. I mean should I just the Practically Cute or the Perfectly Uniquel? I know the Perfectly may sound better, but really it is not something you can wear everyday.


I'll let you know what I decide.
