New Hair Trend- French Plaits


This summer 09 I am absolutely loving French plaits as they are so crucial to the LA look that I'm going for this season and are so pretty! They can be added to an array of beautiful hairstyles and add a chic look to the everyday outfit. Lauren Conrad loves wearing her hair in French plaits as does Diane Kruger, The Olsen twins and many other fashionistas. So wear your plaits with pride my fellow fashion fanatics!

Kate Bosworth's LA style



I absolutely love Kate Bosworth. I mean she's breathtakingly beautiful and she has the best sense of style out of all the celebrities in my humble opinion. I've never actually seen her looking bad and the way she puts outfits together is pure genius. Bosworth first became famous in 2002 when she starred in the surfer themed film Blue Crush. Since then she has starred in many other films including Beyond the Sea and Superman Returns. She is also well known for previously dating the gorgeous actor Orlando Bloom. In 2008 she became Calvin Klein Jeans newest model. Bosworth has a typical laid back LA style at heart but she can also look really sophisticated on the red carpet which I think is what fashion's all about, versatility. Here are some of my favourite looks of Kate Bosworth.








Peep toe shoe boots are so in!



This summer 09 myself and pretty much every other fashionista are falling in love with peep toe shoe boots (I know its a bit of a mouthful). Why? because they're so versatile and utterly fabulous! There's just something about the unconventional nature of the shoe/boot/peep toe hybrid that adds a unique twist to the everyday outfit, which in my opinion makes them a groundbreaking new trend. The designers have thoroughly embraced the peep toe shoe boot and created a gorgeous array of designs. Jimmy Choo has created the simply breathtaking nude Reese cutout suede shoe boots whilst, Alexander Mcqueen's Neon Flash shoe boots are immensely popular and have been worn by the likes of Heidi Montag, Mischa Barton and Lindsey Lohan. Countless other designers including Nicholas Kirkwood have created their own versions of this amazing new piece of footwear, however my absolute favourite version of the shoe boot which I will hopefully be getting as a birthday present in a few weeks (hint, hint) is Christian Louboutin's Deva fringed shoe boot which is available in beige and black and is absolutely gorgeous. Kim Kardashian wore them with ripped shorts and looked totally on trend.

There's no stopping H&M: Jimmy Choo Next Collaborator!


Did you hear that? Jimmy Choo.. H&M.. In the same sentence? Theres no stopping H&M! I read this great news whilst on the train; it made my day! To be honest I wasn't so excited about the Mathew Williamson range, (even though I done a post about it) though the pieces were great it really isn't my thing; I prefer stark, dark colours.. hopefully Jimmy Choo will create something a bit femine and dark!

"We are privileged to be among the fashion greats who have been affiliated with H&M so far, and to be designing a collection appealing to fashion savvy, street smart women, and to be including some great pieces for men, too. Jimmy Choo will bring to H&M a sophisticated, fashion forward, accessible and glamorous collection - the perfect party pieces to buy now and then wear out that night!" - founder and president of Jimmy Choo, Tamara Mellon.

"We adore Jimmy Choo's shoes and bags. They are glamorous and sexy, and they add instant style to the simplest of outfits.I like the way we have worked with clothes to accessorize the shoes and bags rather than the other way around. This collaboration is particularly exciting because it's our first shoe designer collection. It's a joy to be able to offer top end designer shoes and bags of excellent quality to our customers." - Margareta van den Bosch, creative advisor of H&M said.

Jimmy Choo will also design a range of clothes for H&M (both men and women), so that the clothes go effertlessly with the shoes.

The collection is out November 14th 2009. Just watch.. I'll be first in queue!
