FASHION FAILS.......

Katie Holmes......Tut, tut, tut!!! If she doesnt start shorting her shizzle out Suri will be ahead of her in the fashion polls!!!  I mean come on, proper Brown baggin it in the lil number!!!

Just because Jennifer Aniston's new bob is now the star of the show, it doesn't mean she can completely start cutting everything else off short, too. At the "Just go with it" premiere in Madrid, the babe's strappy nude heels are chic, but it looks like she's wearing a long pajama top. Jen, your dumpy outfit isn't going to make your hair look better—it doesn't work that way!

OHH.....NA, NA, GET THE NAILS........!

All hail Queen Rihanna!!! Not only is this girl  one the most controversial singers in terms of naughty dance moves and videos, but shes also one of the best dressed!! And if truth be told, my secret girl crush!!!

The girl drips fashion out of every pore and that includes her nails..........who knew your nails could be trendy??  Well TOPSHOP have brought out and bang on trend new range of colours that I just love, love love!!! So ladies, if you want to get your flirt on this weekend, dont forget your fingers, theses colours can change and outfit from simple to stunning in a few brush strokes!!!!

BITS FROM THE BRITS..........

Taking place at the O2 Arena for the first time, the red carpet saw appearances from the likes of Rihanna, Justin Bieber and Cheryl Cole.

Arcade Fire, Plan B, Jessie J, Mumford and Sons, and Adele also posed for photographers outside the venue, as did a host of celebrities including Alan Carr and Fearne Cotton. The event was hosted by my secret crush, Gavin & Stacey star James Corden.

There were some major winners and losers in the fashion stakes, come on........its not all about the awards is it!!!

Cheryl's eye make up is fabulous, alothough, she could do with a tint of colour on her lips, even just gloss would have lifted her face alot more than this pale blllaahhh colour! p.s..............hair is a bleedin' triumph as usual  !!!

To be honest the jury is out on the dress.....................its just hmmmmmmm???

Just hope Brit Winner Jessie J, didnt drop her gong at any point  !!!! Micro mini aint the word for it !! but we love Jessie's glam ghetto style.  And we really want to find out how she gets her hair so straight and shiny..........she probably ate her vegatables when she was small!!!

We can see your undies!!! damn camera  flashes!!! I love this studded number form Fern's own range from Very.............best advertising ever, me reckons!!

Only a girl of 17 could get away wearing this outfit...................I have outfit envy ...........FACT!!!

love the bang on trend block colour wedges and the colourful leaf detail dress.......Fab, Fab, Fab, FFFAAAAABB!!!

ohhhh, theres a bang of Whitney dressed as Britney off this picture!!! Sorry ladies, I think Sara ruins it for everyone..............twisted back hair dont, puffy dress and bow detail shoes, looks like she would have worn it back in the 90's presenting "The Word"....................!!

The Lovely "Lemon Curd" Lisa Snowden!! Colour aint great, its a bit cold looking on Lisa, and its a wee bit short if you ask me.......now dont get me wrong, she has legs I would sell my own granny for, But I think in this case, its a lil short.

I just added this one for all you Beib-a-philes out there.............enjoy!!!!

 

TAKE THAT SMASH IT!!!

How briiiiiiiiilllliant were Take That at the Brit Awards!!!  New sound, new look, new swagger!!!

Love your work Boys!!! Perfect opener to the show!!

CHEEKY UNDIES FOR VALENTINES

Ladies, We all know that men dont get excited about flowers, dinner, candles and other romantic jestures.....men are stimulated visually!! And what better way to excit your man this Valentines, than by wearing one of these tantilizing loverlies!!!

Now sexy and peep show undies are all fine and good..............but for valentines, why not take it up a knotch, by introducing accessories!! Blind folds, suspenders, and all kind of lush lil lotions and potions!!!!!

GAME ON!!!!

FAIRTRADE DOES FESTIVAL FASHION

"Rock 'n' roll" and "Fairtrade fashion" - strange bedfellows? Not if Topshop has anything to do with it: coming your way, its new grunge-chic collection - all made with Fairtrade cotton.  Perfect Festival wear, and plus, I am hearting these denim shorts..................better rush out and get them when they are realised in store in March, or spend the summer coveting thy neighbours shorts!!!

SUMMER MUST HAVES!!!

If you want to know what to buy from now until the sun arrives, stock up on these timeless pieces to get more wear for your cash!!!

                                                                       
THE NEW "IT" SHOE -- The Wedge heel is set to be huge this Spring/Summer.  These little numbers are the perfect day to night shoe.

TROUSERS -- Wide leg trousers will serve you well, and these plalatzo pants, and the labrador of trousers!! Wear them with a roll neck in the winter chill, then switch to a vest and statement necklace for the summer sunshine.

                                                        
                                                
                                                          
DAY BAG --Look out for this panelled slouchy day bag from AWEAR, The perfect up-to-date version of last seasons Satchel, and well............its beautiful.........'nuff said!!

                                                                       
LBD BABY!!! -- You can never have to many black dressses.....................make that too many dresses in general!! This fabulous lil number comes from Miss Selfridge, perfect LBD, with a cheeky lil bit of sheer fabric to make you stand out from the crowd............SOLD!!!                                    

COCKTAIL RING -- Anyone that knows me, knows, I loves me jewelery!! and this badboy is from ASOS. As well all know, a good girl loves a badboy, and I have fallen for this one!!! 

THE PRINT TOP --This little beauty is combining to summer must haves in one, 60's and Print.  This off the shoulder tee, is gonna work for bothe day and night, and at 9 Euros, its just wrong not to buy it!!!!

SILKY NUMBER -- A silky scarf remains a companion come rain or shine.  The Bright colours and pattern in this one screams designer!!!



SHEER YOUR ONLY GORGEOUS!!!

Now, we all love the Maxi dress........god knows it got me out of a few "what to wear" dilemmas! Well, good news ladies, Maxi aint going anywhere this season, and it has been given a snazzie lil upgrade.....Sheer Maxi's!!! I can die a happy woman!!!

Now when I first saw the pictures, I didnt fall immediatley in love...........but i have to admit, it kinda grew on me!!! I mean, whats not to love?

 Dont fear Sheer......wear a long vest top, and a pair of opaques to hide your modesty!! To give the Maxi an after dark twist, by adding killer heels and through on some sparkles and you are hot to trot!!!

ORANGE YA LOVELY!!!

Looks like this Spring, orange is king (Orange doesn't rhyme with anything so we'll just have to make do with that). From the orange-on-orange seperates at Prada to Fendi's pumpkin-coloured mini dresses, orange is everywhere on the runways...including models' lips. And its not a shy peach or a muted coral, it's balls-out traffic cone orange.

Orange lipstick is one of those bold makeup choices that I always thought was more about the attitude of the wearer than anything about their complexion, style, or any other superficial trait. That's probably why I think out of the three ladies above Aggy pulls it off best -- who knew one could look so bad-ass with orange lips!

If you dont want to look like you've just sucked on 5 Rocket Ice Pops, us girlies can tone it down a little for the dance floor in the Grafton Lounge on a Saturday night, by Keeping the face fairly natural (ie no blue eyeshadow and uber-pink cheeks!). and doing a statement lip, one word of advice, dont add gloss on top of the lipstick, you might look like you have a ginger tash!!!! Scccaarrrlethhhh !!!

CAN YOU ROCK SOCKS???

Socks with sandals, socks with stilettos, socks with wedges, socks with boots...........these cute lil toe warmers list of appearances keeps getting longer!

From Rihanna, to our favourite GG girl, Leighton Meester, celebs are rocking this Geek to Chic look all over town.  The trend has trickled down from the runways of Christian Dior and Prada's S/S11 shows.  If its good enough for CD and Prada, its good enough for me!!!

So, I, as your virtual little fashionista have put together a short list of Do's and Dont's, to keep you all look fabulous darrrlinggg!!!

Teaming socks and killer boots or heels with a bandage skirt and a loose top, looks edgy and fashion forward.  However, I think for us mere mortals that have not been blessed with the legs of a goddess, I think there is one sure fire rule to get this look right...STICK TO BLACK SOCKS!! they can have little designs, bows, lace, studs, hell, stick a small furry animal on, but make sure they are black.

Height matters too, hit just above the ankle and your legs will look long and lean, wear them to high and it will shorten your leg, which is definitley not the desired look!

Another quick tip for this look, is make sure your socks aint to chunky and your shoes aint to fancy..........but most of all, have fun with it!! Not only will you look bang on trend sporting this look, but it will keep your lil piggies extra warm on nights out.....score!!!

Now much as we all love Ugly Betty, girl has broken all the rules of Sockage, and should be ashamed of herself!!! But you gotta give her kudos for trying.................!!! But dont get me started on ther outfit!!!

Disclaimer - No small furry animals were hurt in the making of my socks!!

Caught by the straight and curlies .................................

Katie Price is in trouble again!! She is facing a tidal wave of abuse............having been pictured carrying her daughter Princess, having had her bouncy curly blobde hair straightened.!!!!! Off with her head, I hear you cry!!!! Hardly page 4 news, you say! I totally agree. 

As a small girl, my mum regularly curled my long, and  mean loooonnngg hair, every Saturday night, so we looked all fancy skipping down to Mass the following morning, in our Sunday best and bouncy curls, which by the way were not Irish Dancing ringlets styley - as I consider that a form of child abuse!!

Now, myself and my equally long haired sisters were not shouted at in the streets for transforming our straight hair, curly, so is there a huge difference if a mum straightens curly hair?  I realise, curling your hair with rollers over night and straightening with a pair of GHD's are different, but Princess has only been seen a few times with poker straight locks...............I dont see the harm!!!!

BE ALLURING!!

Nestled in the heart of Portmarnock Village, you will find this little gem!!! Allure Skincare and Beauty Salon.  With its amazing interior, which I was happily informed, has just had a lil make over, upto date treatments, including the fabulous 3 week manicure ( perfect for us laptop slaves, all the tapping of keys, is playing havoc with my nails), Teeth Whitening, Waxing, Tanning and all the fancy smancy massages and facials you can shake a stick at..........its the perfect place for shedding your slightly dull winter skin and getting everyone ready for the fabulous Irish Summer we are all anxiously waiting for, and by everyone, Im including the male folk too, which are also very welcome at Allure. 

So, if you are looking for a self indulgent afternoon of preening, tanning, plucking, painting and relaxing you will not go far wrong with a trip to Allure................who knows, you might see me on the treatment bed beside you, in a trance like state of relaxation with cucumbers on my eyes!!!

70's Flair......................and Flares!!!

I am loving the 70's revival that has flooded the high street stores for S/S11!! Florals and Botanical prints, Mix and match denims, Seriously high heels and wedges love, love, love it!!

Think David Bowie and Charlies Angels!!
