The 'New Years' Dress

Sparkling Mini Dresses

Relaxed Summer Floral

Bright Colours

With only a day left until that New Year's party I'm sure there will be many of you rushing around getting that party dress or maybe you have had it planned for months!

What style have you gone with to take you into the new decade?! Is it the sparking party dress? The bright fun dress? Or is it just a relaxed floral summer dress?

Me? I'm rocking a basic maxi by the beach....

Happy New Year!!

Gisele Bundchen for Balenciaga


This shot of Gisele Bundchen has just been released - she has posed as the face of the Balenciaga Spring 2011 campaign. Rocking a golden brown wig and looking quite confused, I'm feeling this shot is not powerful enough. I can see they are trying to convey a completely different look, but I'm not sure it has worked.
Shot by Steven Meisel and styled by Marie-Amélie Sauvé, the ad is set to be debuted in February.

Heel Condoms....??


Before

Place the elastic under your foot to keep in place

After

Since were on the subject of shoes...I happened to come across this new invention - Heel Condoms...
Yes you heard right. They are condom-like covers that let you play dress up with your shoes.
I am a little confused to how this would work. I love the concept  but just dont know if it'll catch on.
Give them a go yourself and see what you think....

Asics: Are They Worth It?


Red and yellow and pink and green, Purple and orange and blue, I can sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow too.

Come on, you guys know the words...
I was shopping with my boyfriend recently and was astounded by the range of the Asics Tiger brand available on the market today. I mean every colour under the sun, and in just about every combination. I love it!

But of course there's a down side. With a price tag of $180 a pop - picking the right style and colour was a very long and difficult choice. I gotta say I could have easily walked away with 5 or 6 pairs myself that day - if not for the price tag.

Ok don't get me wrong - I'm all for paying for fashion - but we're talkin' bout Asics here...your basic casual runners! 180 bucks seems a little steep to me....

Which brings me to my question, Asics: are they worth it?

Style Profile - Alexa Chung



 On the red carpet

Off the red carpet

Fashion icon, television presenter and Vogue cover girl Alexa Chung can't seem to get it wrong when it comes to her style. Her carefree and daring looks has made her the style 'it' girl.
She frequently appears on best dressed lists, in fashion magazines and in the front row of fashion shows.

I love every outfit she has worn - nothing can look bad on her!

Top Knots





The bun has always been a classic favorite. Easy and chic, this look is usually styled casually or as a quick weekend look. Lately, however, we've been seeing these top knot buns as the 'it' style for celebrities on the red carpet. I think it really brings out your cheekbones and is so elegant.

But what do the men think about the bun? I heard they call it the librarian look! But who are we trying to impress? Is it the men or the women?

Nicole Richie's Wedding Photo's



Benji Madden and Nicole Richie tied the knot last Saturday at the Los Angeles home of Nicole's father, Lionel Richie. Nicole wore three different Marchesa gowns on her wedding day, one each for the ceremony, dinner and after-dinner party.
One of the stunning dresses featured a ball-gown skirt made from more than 100 yards of hand-draped silk organza and tulle petals. Amazing! The other two will be revealed in her exclusive story with German In Magazine.

What do you think of her dress? I actually think it suits her perfectly!

January Jones Goes Nude for Versace


January Jones, best known for her role as young suburban housewife and mother Betty Draper in the TV show Mad Men has recently posed nude as the new face of Versace accessories.

So why did Donatella pick January as the face?
"I am always on the lookout for the next Versace blonde. In January I feel I have found a perfect Versace woman for the 21st century...She is chic and elegant but deeply sensual too."

Who needs models these days? Actresses and musicians are giving them a run for their money!
