Love Is In The 'Stadium' Air!

I'm not the biggest football fan but this is originality at its best.

Yahoo featured 38 year old Manchester City fan Karen Bell stunned her equally fanatical husband-to-be Simon by walking down the aisle on their wedding day in a dress made out of old City shirts.

Karen made the dresses herself out of Simon's collection of shirts to ensure she had a unique "something blue" for her big day.What's more, rather than popping off to a tropical paradise after the wedding, the pair went straight to the Etihad stadium after the ceremony to watch their heroes beat Stoke City 3-0.

Love is in the 'stadium' air. 

Fashion News: Brad Goreski named as Kate Spade NY’s exclusive brand stylist!



Brad Goreski-Deborah Lloyd of Kate Spade NY

 Brad Goreski, formally of 'The Rachel Zoe Project' fame, has been newly named as Kate Spade New York’s exclusive brand stylist as part of the two-year deal. Goreski will work to elevate brand awareness of the Kate Spades ready-to-wear lines and will work with Kate Spades creative director Deborah Lloyd to style press events, fashion presentations, ad campaigns and e-commerce shoots.

That's one hot gig, given celebrities a la Beyonce and Hilary Duff can't get enough of their accessories and Handbags.

Liya Kebede for H&M’s 'Wake Up To Spring'

I definitely woke up to spring this morning with H&M's Spring Season 2012 catalogue through my door. The collection fronted by stunning supermodel Liya Kebede, is full of block colours (naturally), nautical stripes, blazers, shorts, cute vests and tie up details.

As always, H&M's collection is look of luxury at a bargain. So that's the clothes sorted, now I've just just got to book that beach holiday...

December Inspirations: Autumn Kool

It's coming to the end of another year but we'll still be displaying Autumn/winter wear for a little while longer. This month, it's all about rustic, browns, reds and burnt oranges for me. Designers like Donna Karan and Christopher Kane have the looks nailed, it's all about autumn kool.

Right Now I'm Loving: Beyonce's Dance for you!

Satin with leopard print lining, stockings, suspenders, velvet gloves covered in huge diamond bracelets... sounds tacky but looks amazing thanks to Beyonce's new 'Dance for you' video. Shot in classic black and white and with an old skool film theme, Beyonce takes sexy to a whole new level. Love it!

Christmas Wishes!

Customized: Vintage Clutch

Part of my styling USP is customizing pieces so that as well as giving creative results, it gives a unique look. As it's almost Christmas, I know there'll still be those people who are looking for pieces to complete their seasonal outfits so instead of splashing the cash on last minute pieces you'll be unsure of later, why not alternate things you already have.
I bought this vintage clutch bag a little while ago but never used it and although vintage is about the rustic charm, this bags charm wasn't in looking dirty. So with a lick of fabric paint and a chain link handle, I've given this piece a new lease of life. Try it yourself and feel free to comment with your own pics and tips.

A Kardashian Khristmas!

The new Kardashian/ Jenner Christmas card may not exactly scream Christmas (more Halloween) but it definitely shouts editorial. I love the androgynous theme of the shoot as well as the mood. The editing might be a bit questionable (even for me) but overall I love it. Shame Kim's on her own...AGAIN! but a-pregnant-but-not-showing Kourtney, Scott and little Mason really look the part.

P.S. I love Kendall's outfit, The layered skirt/ Alternate hem skirts are all the rage for S/S 2012.

Take a look at the previous years

X Factor 2011 (The Final)- The Fashion

And the winner is... LITTLE MIX! With the first group to win the X-Factor, this weekend, it was all about the X-Factor live finals, wembley area, a 10,000 strong audience and contestant/judges duets... no pressure then!

Stepping out in style for their penultimate stage walk on Saturday, Gary and Louis both wore velvet jackets while Tulisa wore a monochrome satin alternate hem dress layered with polka dot netting, she loves her some ra-ra and Kelly chose a grey pleated goddess number with glitter shoulder in lining detail, both ladies looked stunning.

Sunday night, Tulisa let her hair down in cascading curls and looked amazing in a indigo fish tail dress with a feather detailed neck line, which by the look on her face and pace of walking was more about the look that practicality. Kelly looked gorg in a gold toned embellished dress with the oh-so-popular alternate hem.

Now onto The Finalists and The Fashion...

Sporting a grey double breasted suit, blue shirt, black bow tie, black top rimmed glasses, Marcus was bringing dorky back... in a sexy way.

Blue suit and tie:  E Tautz

Shoes: Aldo

Bow tie: Burton

Socks - Burlington

Performing 'Always a woman' with mentor Gary, Marcus once again looked dapper in a black bow tied tux jacket and pants.

Blazer: Cad and the Dandy

Shirt: Jaegar

Trousers: Burtons

Shoes: Harrys of London

To be honest, Marcus' 1st Sunday performance didn't take me any higher than when he wore the full on pink ensemble the 1st time round in week 7!

For his second performance, Marcus wore a brown checked 3-piece suit, he didn't wear it last Christmas but it'll look good this year.

Singing the winners song 'Canon Ball', Marcus once again looked dapper in a grey jacket suit with darker trim.

To be honest, Little Mix could have done better for the finals outfit because the army chime and denim medley of frays, fringes and folds wasn't enough for a pass but their vocals for 'You've got the love' was.

Clothes and Accessories: 

Arrogant Cat, Asos, Lipsy, Dolly Boutique and Cinderella rocked my Fella

Performing an Alicia Keys medley, Little Mix took to stage with mentor Tulisa wearing monochrome crystallized pieces and Tulisa wearing a structured shouldered black mini dress.

Clothes and Accessories:

Brian Lichtenberg, Asos, Topshop, Dr Martens and Doctor Martina

Little Mix didn't let go of their monochrome ensembles from week 7 on Sunday but mixed it up with perspex spiked shouldered pads, loved it.

Looking cute in personalised name soft blue and pink dip-dyed sweaters paired with feather earrings and white skirts and one erm... shiny gold leggings, Little mix made it a silent night with their second Sunday performance with amazing vocals.

Singing an even better version (sorry Marcus) of the winners song 'Canon Ball' and wearing a little mixture (see what I did there? I'll be here all night) of white and gold pieces, the ladies of Little Mix sang their little hearts out.

In ultimate bubblegum punk rock (if ever there was such a thing) Amelia showed there ain't no other style but hers in a frou frou pink corset dress and matching Doc Martin boots.

Dress: Nikita Karizma

Boots: Dr Martens

Jewellery: Topshop

Performing 'River deep, mountain high' with Kelly Rowland, Amelia Lily donned a black fringed number with embellished collar while Kelly shined in a gold cut out back lurex dress and AMAZ-BALLS green peep-toe ankle strap heels.

Dress: All Saints

Shoes: Kat Maconie

Jewellery: Freedom @ Topshop

Until next year... Oh how I'll miss Dermot's dancing!
