Channelling: Material girls

 Madonna

She is the undisputed queen of pop. And also the queen of reinvention, which makes her double royalty in our eyes. And although we do wish she wouldn’t wear quite so many skimpy high-cut leotards (save it for your waxer Madge!), we love that even decades later even her 80s sense of style is reinventing itself. Now that’s talented!

Bag ladies: tough love

UO studded bag

Our dream bag wish list

- Long strap for trendy kid style cross-body wearing

- Tough-guy embellishments

- Enough room for iPhone, 5-6 lip glosses, bulging receipt filled wallet and diary.

- Not a knock off

- Not a one-season wonder

- Not a bank balance buster

Hmmm… any ideas where we might find a bag like that?

Three of a kind: Lace dresses

Lace dresses

Lace dresses are a definite winter staple. They are right on trend, super versatile and of course ridiculously stylish.  Pick up a little black number and pile it high with all your tough junk jewellery for an instant ‘don’t mess with me look’, or if you’re really brave we say opt for a brightly coloured Prada-esque style.  You just can’t lose!

Pretty things: Flower power

Floral necklace Dorothy Perkins

Just because your boyfriend never buys you flowers, doesn’t mean you can’t buy some for yourself. This bright and beautiful neck bouquet will work perfectly with all the neutral winter pieces you are currently hording, and it will never, ever wilt.

Separated at birth: The crazy MJ gene

Marc Jacobs a likes

Marc Jacobs has done some pretty whack things over the years. He dressed as a ‘camel toe’ for a big fashion party, shoved Victoria Beckham into a shopping bag, put a leotard wearing Madonna in a LV ad campaign and he also decided to play funny buggers with the heels of his shoe collection. Now we thought this was one crazy trend that would just never, ever filter down to the chainstores…  but looks like we were oh so wrong!

Three of a kind: Sequintastic

Fri22maysequins

Sometimes it’s nice to go unnoticed, to drape your self in neutral colours and just disappear into the crowd. But only sometimes. The rest of the time you want strangers to do double takes, and ‘isn’t she the girl from…’ whispers as you walk past. You are only human after all.
