Trend Setter - Alexa Chung

Model turned MTV VJ Alexa Chung always makes everything look effortless... who says the red carpet needs glamour? A bit frompy at times, but someone to keep watching.


Trend Setter - Sienna Miller

(In)famous for saying she has no time for love (and making us all think "Imagine if she did!" while secretly wallowing in jealousy), Sienna's style is an inspiration for millions around the world. Strolling down the street or parading up the red carpet, she manages to look fresh and even demure (!) every time.



From the Runway to the Red Carpet

Here are two beautiful and stylish ladies, wearing two beautiful dresses. Isla Fisher is rocking this gorgeous green lace number by Stella McCartney (not sure gold was the best pick for shoes, though), whereas Milla Jovovic looks a bit frompy in an otherwise stunning Marni ensemble... Ironing, like time, is of the essence...

Style Icon - Sarah Jessica Parker

Long overdue. She's the Queen Bee of Style. Dressed-up or dressed-down. She manages to look perfect at any time.



Looks I love - Lets get British

It NEVER goes out of fashion. Some things just last forever. Cool Britania is one of them. Get your tartan skirts back and pair them with boots, pumps, hats, barrets... you'll look flawless whatever you wear.

Looks I love - The Leather Jacket

It's everywhere. From the runway down to the streets. It can't be escaped. And who says you can't still be a girl?

Fall/Winter 2009/2010- The It-List

Fall-Winter saw the return of many old favourites (the1940's, lace, the lbd, overcoats, tweed, colour, sparkle and british style) and other come-backs we could do without (grunge, medieval, circus). Yours truly here took a look at the thousands of runway shows and analysed the millions of looks to bring you the best of the season. Fifteen looks that will guarantee you get noticed, day or night, wherever you go... Enjoy!

Style Icon - Margherita Missoni

I recently saw Margherita Missoni in an Aussie mag's "Worst Dressed List". I was confused; this is clearly one of fashion's most inspired women. She is also an inspiration to millions of women, including me. So, I decided to give you thirteen reasons why she should never be in anyone's WDL.

Style Icon - Diane von Furstenberg

"I didn't know what I wanted to do,
but I knew the woman I wanted to become."

the boyfriend jeans...

Everyone is wearing them, from Reese Witherspoon to Sarah Jessica Parker, and they are one of the hottest trends. I know what I'll be wearing this summer... Dress them up: top: miss selfridge/heels: blanco/clutch: monsoon
Dress them down: scarf: topshop/ jeans, top and sandals: blanco

love is in the air...

OK, so this is not really about fashion, although Lindsay has been a frequent guest at my pages, but this has got to be my favourite couple EVER!!! I love Josh Radnor (I totally want to marry Ted) and she is one of the hottest fashionistas out there, so I had to feature them... they are beautiful together and I wish them all the best.



the everyday-looks on a budget...

ok, so we all love stacey, clinton and tim and we live by their rules... but the truth is, we don't all get a credit card with our name on it to make it work, right? so the hot fashionista decided to come up with great looks... under €100!
