I have been looking online today and the top 5 things to have in your wardrobe this Spring are:

  1. Maxi Dress - now for this year are clingy ones
  2. Clogs - Multi use these shoes to dress up and outfit or keep it casual
  3. Tailoring - either use underwear as outerwear or get a tailored jacket
  4. Printed trousers - the brighter and the funkier the better
  5. Denim - either denim shirts, tops or jeans… you can even wear all together

so look around different shops and online sites and i am sure you will find some great things for this Spring’s outfits…

Let me know what you suggest.

As you can probably tell from the title Asos are having a mid season sale on their Outlet Department (designer section).  I have been on to have a nosy and there are some brilliant little bargains to be picked up.

You can shop for Men’s or Women’s but unfortunately it does not have children’s clothes.

there is a £10 and under section, a £20 and under section, a £30 and under section and a £40 and under section so you can go as low as you like.

let me know what great little bargains you get and make me jealous…

I have found a new great site where you can buy fashion items, electrical items and items for your home.

The site i am writing about is www.very.co.uk but you may know it from the adverts with Fearne Cotton and Holly Willoughby in them.

They have lots of clothes for all occasions (going out, daytime, day at the races, weddings) and also a great range of childrens wear.

The best bit is that you can split your payments over a few months in lots of different ways to make your outfit more affordable.

Go and have a look and let me know what you think of the site.

Let me know what you think of your day out…

Asos.com have set up a site where you can dress your favorite barbie doll in a little black dress and also buy accessories for them from silver accessories, gold accessories, evening accessories and trend accessories.

It may seem really stupid that a grown lady or man would want to buy one but i think as a gift for a friend or even for a child it is a great idea.

You can even shop for the same dresses that are on the Barbie dolls in the “shop barbies look” section on the website.  they have dresses, shoes, sunglasses, bags and much more to choose from.

What is it with all the Scaly clothes that are out at the moment with all the diamante that are on now, the most common makes are:

Gio Goi
Henley’s
Ed Hardy
Fly 53

you can also get some t’shirts from normal clothes shops (eg, Next, Topman, Burtons) which have the same logo on.

I personally love a man in a polo shirt and am not sure why they need to have bling on them but hey each to their own.

On another note i have seen in the shops that a lot of sport gear is back on the rails so i am loving the new slobbing gear i have been purchasing as with these cold nights i have not wanted to go out.

I know i slagged them off above but Gio Gio have a lot of clothes for males and females which is very good quality and washes very well.

The best shops to buy sports wear at the moment is:

Fat Face
JJB Sport
Footlocker
Puma
Adidas

And finally a quick tip for you:

Dont buy cheap sports wear as it will not last as long as a more expensive item and this will save you money in the long run.

Well they are for definite in Cheryl Cole’s case! The perfect way to end the rift between Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue was for Danni to splash out on a £2,000 YSL birthday ring last week.

Reports state that Dannii handed Cheryl a whooping Yves Saint Laurent ring at her 26th birthday celebration in London’s Vanilla club on Wednesday.

Cheryl is reportedly over the moon with the generous gift from Dannii I think I would also be Dannii’s BFF if she way to buy me some YSL bling for my birthday!

It has obviously cleared the rift between the X Factor judges as they are now all giggles and gossiping backstage on the X Factor unlike the frosty atmosphere between them next last year.

Lucky Chezza hey!

Sequins and Sparkle is this summers hot look.

The trend does not have to be kept to evening wear, you can always follow the steps of Agyness Deyn, Lilly Allen and Rachel Bilson who have all been seen wearing a bit of sparkle during the day time.

Marks and Spencers have one in for £99
Asos have lots online
net a porter have one for £1590

They can either cost a fortune or cost not a lot it is always up to you how much you pay..

A hot look to go for is a sequin jacket, ripped skinny jeans and some heels for evening or pumps for day wear.

On Tuesday 07th July 2009 it was the memorial for the life of the King of Pop Michael Jackson.  I know this does not really relate to my blog but i had to say that i thought his brothers were amazing for carrying his coffin (i dont think i could have done that) and for an extra special touch they all wore his trademark white sequin gloves all throughout the service.

I watched the Memorial on TV like all the other millions of fans throughout the world and i am not ashamed to say i cried throught most of it.  It was heartbreaking to see his daughter Paris at the end breaking down in tears and being comforted by her Aunt Janet Jackson.

His coffin was rumored to have cost $25000 and is made of Solid Bronze and is 14ct gold plated but I found it a bit weird that his coffin was at the front of the stage but each to their own at the end of the day.

It was a beautiful moment and so many people said a lot of special words about him.

RIP Micheal

I love the pleated headbands that are out now days.  The only problem is that it took me ages to find one to match my hair color but I got one from Selfridges (no it did not have a big price tag it was £15).

When I got mine it was a single pleat but now a days you can buy them with a double pleat, triple pleat or even a multi colored pleat.

Asos have got a really good sale on at the moment and they have been knocked down from £6 to £1.50 depending on which one you want.

A good tip though, I would buy from a shop so you can sort of match it to your hair colour.
