Does Cheryl have the xfactor?

Week in week out fashion viewers have we have been sat in suspence waiting for what cheryl will wear this week and in this blog i am going to have a look back at some of the good and bad and just the damn right ugly outfits Mrs cole has wore.

Outfit number one,
This is outfit number one, the auditions. I love how Cherly can glam up just a ordinary pair of white skinny jeans and a top and she just makes them look gorgeous! I adore the shoes she's wearing They realllly look great with this outfit, also the top looks great on cheryl because she has a amazing figure and its great that shes wearing something that shows it off. Well done Cherly the verdict is..

Thumbs up!

Outfit two,

Back at the judges houses and Cherly took the boys to Morroco and when i first saw this dress i really thought it was a fashion disaster but opening it up to a larger view i was surprised to actually think it was really nice, even the pattern! Its very free flowing and light. It tightens around the waist to still create a hourglass shape.
The verdict...

Thumbs up!

Outfit 3,
The live shows and i strangly really like this dress, i love the bottom how it just goes out and its all gold and glittery and i love hwo she has her hair so simple just in a loose plait and it just goes, the whole outfit just ties together and its just so unique! So good so far Mrs Cole..

Thumbs up!

Outfit 4,

You've got to fight fight fight fight fight for this love(8)

Now this was the show Cherly got alot of stick for, would she or would she not sing live?! And she did and you have to give her credit for her trying dont you, even if she doesnt have the voice of an angel! I have to say i love the military style she has going on here but does she want anymore leg on show? Yes she has legs to die for but come on Cole wouldnt just a pair of trousers do? I really cant decide on this outfit, yes or no? Public vote?
In the words of Simon Cowell.. "Cherly you do not have the xfactor goodbye"

Thumbs down!

Outfit five,

Finally, its the outfit that split the nation. You either love it or you hate it. It is very.. different. It looks like a piano keyboard bended is it just me who thinks that? But some how our Chezza seems to pull it off. I mean i could go out wearing that and get the funniest looks ever bu somehow because its Cheryl we all forgive her. I personally am undecided on this, so let me know what you think is it a thumbs up or a thumbs down?

Dior deck the halls or should i say shops.

Well its nearly that time of year where you're credit cards get dented and we have to say thanks to a pair of socks you know your never going to wear and sit around with family you havent seen in god knows how long listening to "God havent you grown up, i remember you when you were this big." Yes its nearly christmas and last night John Galliano christmas tree including some vintage dior out fit and a whole bunch of christmas carolers. The John Galliano (pictured left) is very elegent but also its very winter i have to say i think its missing a few baubles and a bit of tinsel but it will do. The whole fun of christmas for me is decorating the tree i mean whats christmas without the whole fuss of getting the tree out of the loft, trying to do mission impossible over all the rubbish you said you were going to have a carboot to get rid of. Then to finally remember your fairy lights dont work and the argument about who puts the angel/star on the top, but in the end its all worth while. If i could just get my hands on this John Galliano tree i would deffinately 'sprous' it up abit, bit of tinsel here few baubles there you have it!

Lily loves Lucy.

It has been announced this week that Lily allen is taking a break from music and going to venture in something else in the shape of her own fashion shop. She recently told radio one that she is going to take a break and concentrate on doing "some-sort-of-behind-the-scences-stuff" she plans to open her shop with her sister. Lilly has decided to open a clothing store where customers can rent them for affordable prices. So everyone can go out feeling a million dollars without breaking the bank. Lilys shop will be called Lucy in disguise. In July Lily was the face of Chanel, she then lauched her jewerally collection 2007 and then collaborated with new look to create her Lily loves collection.

Daring Daphne and Lots of Lott

Long time no blogging, but i am back and i bare good gossip.

Firstly, Alexander McQueen shoes;











We've all marvelled at these for some time, some of us secretly liking them but darent say and others well others disliking them. Its been said they look like 'crab claws, goat feet and armadillos" well im sure thats the look Alexandra was going for ay! But yesterday these babies were let loose, as they've only been seen on the catwalk but Daphne guinness was brave enough to wear them in public on the red carpet at the Nars 15th anniversary pary in new york. I surprised myself because i think they actually dont look that bad on, i know what your all thinking 'Katie what are you on about?!' But i personally think they really pull the oufit together. I mean im not saying im going to order a pair now because there not something i'd be seen dead in (and lets face i dont have that sort of money to splash out on them) and i cannot walk in heels what so ever but i think Daphne looks gorgeous, tall but gorgeous. These heels measure up to almost 12 inches from floor to ankle so i deffinately will not be purchasing them! You can also see these heels in Lady gaga's new video Bad romance you have to admit they do have lady gaga written all over them, there quirky and you either love them or hate them just like the lady herself. But unlike Daphne's, Gaga's are covered in sequins in her video, to be honest i dont think the shoes really stand out in the video, as all the video is very very very weird so i think there's weirder things in the video like the outfits she wears, gaga remember less is more!

Secondly, Pixie lott has now turned her had at designing as Moschino have asked her to design a charity limited edition tee it features handwritten lyrics out of her songs it will be sold exclusively to moschino on http://www.moschino.com/ the money raised from the tee will be given to Perthes Association a charity providin support to families and children suffering perthes disease, and the Italia conti trust. The T-shirt will be online from mid November, priced £85 so get saving, all for a good cause ay? But thats not all pixie has been doing as shes now the face of SuperTrash latest partywear collection and also shes now the face and wrist of Baby G watches. Eveyone seems to be wanting lots of lott, i think its amazing, she got alot of stick for having acne when she first relseased her single mama do (uh ho uh hoooo(8)) but it just showed that so what i she does, shes a person and im sure shes not the only celeb to suffer from it she shown "all the boys and the girls shes got it going onnnn (8)."

Thirdly and finally, well this isnt so much gossip but a rant, as i was just browsing the vogue website the other day i came across a picture of Lindsay Lohan and i was in shock, to put it politely she has seen better days! I've never had a problem with Lindsay, i mean, mean girls is one of my alll time favourite movies but what has happened to the Lindsay that played Cady Harren? She was gorgeous in that movie! But now, wow somes it up! Come on Lindsay sort yourself out.

90's fashion back for 2010.

I bring you the 7 big hits that will be making a comeback this summer 2010, dont say i did'nt warn you!
Kitten heels,
After several seasons of platforms killing our feet the kitten heels out making a come back, the heel that is beloved of politician's wives has returned.Yes it isnt the most flattering shape but the kitten heel has been given a make over, as seen at Missoni with hippy ribbons and straps meanwhile Marc Jacobs added feathers for his version of the kitten heels. Im not a big lover off kitten heels, as i just dont like any heels full stop, there the worst invenstion made, they look good but can i walk in them? No! But do think with the right outfit kitten heels could be hot this summer!
Cycling shorts,
Yes, i was shocked too. It's partly the new sporty vibe. Set to be next summer's answer to leggings, the lycra knee-length short seen on the most unlikely catwalks, from the short disco versions that were flashing out from Armani's cocktail dresses to baggier versions at Marni worn loose over stripy leggings, as with leggings, they're not meant to be worn alone. When you see how short and sheer everything is for next summer you'll be begging for a pair. I think this is a trend i deffinately will be following, i think this could reallly be a good look for summer, so get ready to whap the legs out girls!
Safety pins,
Back in 1994 Elizabeth Hurley wore a black Versace dress seemingly held together by gold safety pins and created alot of attention for herself. Fast-forward 15 years, and there you have it the return of the safety pins. The Versace diffusion line now headed up by Scottish super-designer Christopher Kane (fashion god) has gone safety-pin crazy. Oversized, colourful pins bags and shoes while others, fastened across sexy cut-outs on dresses or used on jackets. Now im stuck on the idea of this, because i've seen the Elizabeth hurley safety pin dress and im not a big lover, there was nothing left to the imagination and it looked very cheap and tacky looking, so this could easily turn any outfit into a disaster! But then again, safety pins on the collar of a biker jacket, or on a old bag could easily could transform it from drab to fab, i think this will be on i experiment with!
Bum bags,
Yes, you heard me right bum-bags they strike fear into my heart too. But at Marc Jacobs, models walked down the catwalk wearing bum bags matched to their skirts and shorts. Worn slung low around the hips. Over at Louis Vuitton, also designed by Jacobs, the bum bag complete with tassels and extra pouches or with a fur tail were oversized very different to the original bum bags. Bum bags are deffinately a style i will be leaving in the past, r.i.p bum bags they should be gone and forgotten!
Neon,
From tie-dyed dresses to eye-popping fluoro bangles, neon was the alternative to the pretty pastels. Balenciaga's bright orange, green or yellow leather biker leggings really popped, it's very nu'rave! Neon colours really arent my thing, i dont like the tacky neon tops from primark you get, personally i think neon should be kept for the jewerally, i love neon lightening bolt necklaces ect but clothes, i just think you shouldnt draw attention to yourself in them!
Layers,
With next season's sheer, floaty fabrics, we're being encouraged to layer up. Put a long-sleeved T-shirt under a summer dress and add tights and boots and thats the biggest look this summer! I carnt wait to try this look out,very rock chick!
The rave whistle
These are set to make a comeback, who'd have thought it referees setting the latest trends? Not me thats for sure! But yes you heard me right rave whistles are set to make a very loud comeback! The very thought of walking round town to some little 13 year olds blowing there whistle 24/7 scares me, but maybe they could be the latest thing to carry around? Who knows, i just know i will not be starting this trend! Now go on blow your whistle!

Choclate catwalk.

Now this is my kind of catwalk, choclate choclate choclate! Yes you heard right the geniuses in paris decided to hold a choclate catwalk, and oh no no no your wrong in thinking that there were just chocolate buttons, oh no there was hats, jackets and even crinoline skirts! This really is something you could get your teeth into! The model pictured to the right of the text is Laetitia Rey, who wore a chocolate-studded ensemble by lingerie designer Eva Racheline and chocolate manufacturer Magnum, she looked a treat that had been unwrapped for the occasion thanks to the added touch of the silver foil. In a corset, suspenders and crinoline skirt, a chocolate disc balanced atop her head completed the look, if you look closely enough you can see that her suspenders are made out of magnum ice cream sticks, very unique indeed! Obviously not all the clothes were made out of choclate as that would have been very sickly! And if theres any left over choclate thats going spare then i'll be happy to take it off there hands, preferably dairy milk choclate, not dark! Thanks.

Vogue.

The almighty fashion bible vogue, its a huge hit all over the world, everyone loves it and everybody reads it but the pictures right featured in this months French Vogue have caused a big stir as it has been accused of being racist. Model Lara stone posed for a number of photos in which she was covered in white and brown body paint for a number of pose's this has caused a huge controvisy and the pictures have been marked 'tactless'! Personally i believe she shouldnt have been covered in the paint full stop! They should be showing that you can feel comfortable in your own skin and be glad of who you are not that you need to change! And to be honest the pictures featured top of the page are doing nothing for her. Lara stone is a really naturally beautiful women and i just dont think these pictures capture that! And plus i bet it took ages to get all that paint off!

Tights.

Imagine this, your out with your girls at this new bar when this gorgeous man keeps looking over giving you the look all your girls are commenting on how gorgeous he is so you smile back no harm in friendly flirting ay, then all off a sudden he walks over he has the body to match that gorgeous face you carnt believe your luck but when you look down you see he's wearing tights what do you do? Pretend you were smiling at someone else? Pretend your foriegn? Or just do nothing its only man tights? Well that could well happen in the future. The next big thing to hit the high street is mans tights! But oh no this latest style isnt cheap as just one pair of 120 denier tights costs a whooping £70! So men in tights, is it a do or is it a dont? Personally for me its a deffinate no no, i mean yes let your man wear them if your married to superman or batman but other then that ladies keep the lock on your stockings draw! These 'pantyhose' for men are apparently the latest craze in Germany, they even do them in different designs they do floral pantyhose and a tribal tattoo pantyhose oh no your wrong in thinking it stops there, they also do army print pantyhose but he will not camoflauge into the style with these on! Then theres just a plain black and white style. I think this idea is absolutely ridiculous, what man would ever want to wear tights? I mean we've all seen the bingo advert where Vic reeves dresses as a women and for all those of you that hasnt seen it its the picture at the side, could you really take your man seriously looking like that? If we let our men wear tights then whats next, our skirts? Dresses? We'll have to start putting locks on our wardrobes! If after reading all this you still are not weirded out by the thought of your man wearing tights then there something really wrong with you but heres some handy tips for him on how to actually put them on..

What is this world coming too, men in tights! Its not something i will be looking for in a guy!

London fashion week.

This week we saw all the celebs fleeing to London to see this years autumn winter collection, the likes of Kate Moss, Agyness Deyn and Emma Watson all took to there seats to see the models flaunting the designs. The biggest shock to me about London fashion week was where has Agness's tradmark bleach blonde locks gone? She seemed to be going 'back to black' she deffinately showed that black is the new black. She teamed her new black hair with a black blazor and black leather shirt with black hotpants but it wouldnt be complete without something completely unique only Agness can pull of and yet again she has! She teamed the all black outfit with some very different tights, with the house of Holland motif on, there not everybodys cup of tea but personally i think Agness pulls them off very well!

Emma Watson, the new face of Burberry didnt come top of my best dressed list, personally her dress seemed like the wrappers of Quality street toffees all screwed up, she teamed the wrapper dress with a leather belt and matching leather shoes, they were a nice combination just not with 'the dress' she then teamed this outfit with a nude leather bag which would of looked nice with a completely different outfit. Emma Watson normallly looks gorgeous but at London she let herself down. Quality street wrappers should be left in the bin or on the sweets next time Emma!

Raf simons better known for his Dr Martens collection also wow'ed the crowd with his latest fashion for our feet walking down the catwalk. Raf Simons has created a very different approach to sandles combined with the classic Dr Marten boots. Particulary im not quite sold on the colaboration, there deffinately the most eye grabbing in the Raf Simons for Dr Marten collection.

The biggest story to come out of London fashion week has to be Mark Fast using plus size models on the cat walk, the daring knitwear designer decided to put US size 8-10 on the catwalk. This caused meltdown with both his stylist and his creative director walking out just three days before the show, but thankfully he found 2 women to replace them and save the day! Fast has now created and photographic exhibition entitled "all walks beyond the catwalk" which features models aged 18-65 in garments that are sizes 8-16. i personally believe this is a fantastic idea and that plus size models should be used not just in Mark fast's designs. Its showing girls that you dont have to be thin to be beautiful, and these models deffinately proved that as they were all gorgeous! Its giving teenage girls more hope and showing them that all theses size 0 celebs, yes they might be gorgeous but bigger girls are just as beautiful and im glad that Mark is giving girls the oppertunity to show that because every page you open up in a magazine there are celebs with petite frames and yes im sure noone would say no to having Cherly coles body but until they invent a diet where you can eat as much choclate as you want and still maintane the tiny body then sorry girls its going to have to be hitting the gym. The models we see on runways just look like skeletons and these plus size models really gave them a run for there money and i really wish more designers would use Marks idea because girls especially young teenage girls wont feel the need to look like skeletons! So just remember, big girls you are beautiful!
