Happy new year,

Happy new year bloggers! Goodbye 2009 and hello 2010, to welcome 2010 i thought i'd have a look back at all the fashion memories of '09!
- number 1; pigs can't fly but they can look glam!
Mark jacobs has styled the most glamours of celebs from Victoria beckham to Kate moss but he hadnt delt with the biggest diva of all yes 'miss piggy' we all know miss piggy from the muppets with kermit the frog we all spent are childhood watching it, but we hadnt seeen miss piggy looking this glam (picture left). For a puppet she doesnt look half that bad!

- number two; fish feet?
Who can forget the alexander Mcqueen shoes? you know the ones well if you dont i blogged about them before! There featured in the lady gaga bad romance video and i must say they are wearing onto me, as crazy as that sounds! I mean im not going to go out and buy a pair but the celebs such as Daphne guiness are pulling them off very well!

- number three; model mum.
Heidi klum, Gisele bundchen are just some of the models to become model mums this year! model jourdan dunn even wanted to show off her baby bump and paraded down the gaultier catwalk in a tortoise like bump protector? I must say its not the fecthing outfit of the year but congratulations!

- number four; 25 is the magic number.
London celebrated its 25th anniversary of fashion in style. More biog designers and more celebrities and parties, how else would you like to spend your 25th?

- number five; hay you!
Chanel changed the run way for a barn which took everyone for storm but after lilly allen had sang in the 'barn' Lara stone joined Freja beha erichsen and baptiste giabiconi and had a cheeky romp in the hay! Naughty models naughty naughty models "naaaaa!"

- number six; first fashion.
This year saw obama become the first black president of the united states and with him came his beautiful wife Michelle obama. Michelle has become one of the most watched fashion figures in the world!

- number seven; highstreet.
Beth ditto for evans, jimmy choo for H&M, Kate moss and Christopher Kane for topshop, this year has belong to the highstreets!

- number eight: marks model.
The biggest story to come out of '09 has to be Mark fast using a oversized model in his show at London fashion week, this caused a big upr roar with people walking out and believing models had to look a certain way.. tiny! The designer chose to use size12 models in his show which is the average size of the UK women, this was very popular with shoppers and through out the question do models have to be size zero?

BRING ON 2010!

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.
