1 day agoPast Karen Millen campaigns have featured Daisy Lowe, Rosie Huntington Whiteley and Jess Hart so having Tali Lennox to star in the latest campaign is ideal.

Olivia Palermo – American Socialite turned Fashion Icon!
5 days agoImages courtesy of Featureflash / Shutterstock.com Image courtesy of Debby Wong / Shutterstock.com I am completely envious of her wardrobe and am always excited to see what her latest fashion choices are. Olivia admits she shops in high street stores such as Zara, Mango and Topshop proving you don’t have to spend a lot to look as super stylish as her. She teams these affordable pieces with something expensive and special making for a great mix. This fashion ‘It Girl’ always looks so immaculate and polished and tends to experiment with a range of patterns and colours. It’s like everything seems to suit her – I may be a little jealous! She can totally rock a maxi skirt or dress whether she teams them with a chunky jumper, biker jacket or shirt. A recent outfit choice she said she loves is floral pants, a simple jumper and pair of heels – this makes for an ideal transitional look this season.

From efficient and sexy office shoes, and glamorous evening heels, to cool and funky everyday footwear – these shoes are on-trend and gorgeous, all with a bit of the Mary edge.” To celebrate the launch and London Fashion Week, Mary Portas will be holding a p...
The History of the Little Black Dress!
7 days agoInspiration has been taken from style icons over the decades to create the LBDs that we see today in high street and designer stores and it is more than just a wardrobe staple. The classic, blank canvas garment has been a woman’s saviour piece for years and has never failed to let us fashionistas and shoppers down. No matter what shape or size you are the LBD has always been our ‘back up’ piece for a number of different occasions. Marks and Spencer recently produced ‘The History of the LBD’ highlighting the important historical context and demonstrates the enduring love felt for it. 1930s Josephine Baker Cocktail dressing became huge in the 1930s and no one evoked the Gatsby-esque style trend better than performer Josephine Baker. Seeing pictures of this style icon makes it totally clear why she was a muse to both Hemmingway and Picasso. Her flapper style became legendary and her love for embellishment came in the form of peacock feathers – gorgeous detailing on her LBD! 1...

Dress in the Style of singer Jessie J!
12 days agoImages courtesy of Featureflash / Shutterstock.com What I love about her style is that it’s unique but still wearable. Jessie is not afraid to experiment with different styles, colours and prints – none of her outfits really look the same but have a lovely flow to them. She loves showing off her gorgeous legs (and who wouldn’t with pins like hers?!) and dresses them up with funky tights. Her ever changing hair is part of her unique image allowing her creativity to shine through from top to bottom.
