Livia Giuggioli Go Home and Try Again July 2, 2008
Posted by Caz in : Fashion , 3commentsWhat on earth was Colin Firth’s missis thinking when she hit the red carpet in this comical outfit!! She looks like a children’s TV character for crying out loud!
When you’re supporting your sexy husband at a film premiere it really is best not to try and outshine him by looking like a complete idiot. Colin do yourself a favour and get Gok Wan on Livia’s case pronto!!!
Nicola Roberts: We Love the New Look!! June 3, 2008
Posted by Caz in : Fashion , 3commentsI’m loving Nicola Roberts new look! She done what every girl does when they break up with a boyfriend….make him really jealous by looking totally hot!
Nicola’s dress is also really cool and totally on trend for summer……..and from Topshop it’s totally affordable for us all. At just £50 it’s a perfect summer party dress and looks fab when given a funky edge with a belt and killer heels.
Nicola gets a lot of stick compared to the other Girl’s Aloud girls but it’s really uncalled for. She’s lovely looking, really fashioable and seems to be a totally nice girl……plus she’s a good Runcorn girl like myself so obviously she’s got that cool factor 
Credit Crunch- bad for your fashion sense? June 2, 2008
Posted by Caz in : Fashion , 2comments
There’s been a lot of coverage recently about the credit crunch affecting everything from food to petrol prices, but what about the effect on your wardrobe?
Trivial I hear you reply, but actually in these quite depressing times, a little clear up in your closet and reinventionof pieces you had forgotten; can actually save you money in the long run and make you feel better about yourself.
It’s ever so tempting to run into Primark on a daily basis and grab anything off the rails that looks remotely fashionable, but once your fix has worn off like a cheap sugar rush, you’re left with something that will not last beyond the next fashion season.
The triumph of Primark also happens to be its Achilles heel; particularly in relation to how their products are made and the potential backlash that they may face because of it. We’re all guilty of
hitting the shop for a cheap fashion fix, be it shoes; accessories or those ‘must have’ jeans. The initial effect of this fashion splurge is utter elation, because you’ve secured a whole new wardrobe for a rock
bottom price, and still have the power to dazzle for a fraction of the cost.
But what about the comedown? That inevitable crash you experience after every high, when you see half the population wearing what you thought was an exclusive find. Or when you find things aren’t quite the quality you expected, it unavoidably makes you feel like you’ve wasted money rather than invested it.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge fan of fast fashion and I think the high street has done a great job making women feel like they’re wearing designer labels, without the accompanying mortgage loan to pay for it. But something has to give sooner or later, and if this credit crunch is going to teach us anything, it’s how to shop within our means and how to look damn stylish in doing so.
So first of all, as boring as it may sound, invest in key pieces; this is a classic way to save money and still look good. A smart pair of tailored trousers, a selection of skirts (a-line, mini and full), a trendy trench coat and a fitted blouse are all looks that will never go out of style, no matter how you wear them.
The key is to accessorise with a clever waist-clinching belt, a heavy pendant necklace, chunky bangles or even a supersized or mini clutch; the choice is yours. Another great way to beat the crunch is to reorganise your wardrobe; simple, yet effective.
As soon as you start rummaging through all your old clothes, you will realise just how much stuff you have. It’s so easy to forget the amount of items we accumulate in a year and most of it thankfully, is still wearable on a daily basis.
Even raiding the vintage haunts and charity shops on the weekend has now become a classy way to shop, thanks to the likes of Sienna Miller and Aygness Deyn, who have championed the quirky and off-beat look from the start.
The hard fact is, we can’t control the rising costs of living in Britain, but at least we can go some way to facing ‘the crunch’ face on, looking nothing less than fabulous.

Lily Allen: What Was She Thinking?? April 15, 2008
Posted by Caz in : Fashion, Movies , add a commentWhat was Lily Allen thinking when she pulled this horendous outfit out of her wardrobe?? The smock style top-come-dress does absolutely nothing for her curvy figure and teamed with flat shoes it just makes her look frumpy!
Don’t get me wrong I love Lily Allen and admire the way she ditched the ball gowns and trainers in favour of some proper grown up fashion over the last year but I really hope this look isn’t a taste of things to come.
Lily’s had a rough year so we’ll put this down as a one-off…maybe the light bulbs all went out in her house that evening! Her new blonde hair looks great so lets hope next time she does it justice with a equally fab outfit…we know you can do it Lily!
Heidi Montag…another wannabe designer! April 14, 2008
Posted by Caz in : Fashion , add a commentHeidi ‘The Hills’ Montag is the latest celebrity to jump on the fashion bandwagon by attempting to produce her own clothes line….attempting being the appropriate word!
Her new line seems to be nothing more than a load of slutty hot pants and equally trampy crop tops….there is absolutely nothing remotely fashionable about any of it!
I doubt very much that she even went within a few feet of a sketch pad during the whole creation process and the fact that she is a fashion school drop out certainly shows! This is the latest in a long long line of celebrities- if you could call her that- suddenly deciding they have what it takes to be a fashion designer…well Newsflash…YOU DON’T!
Fashion design is a career that takes years of study and experimenting if you really want to be good at it. God knows what makes these hopeless wannabes think that because they splash out on the latest labels that they can start designing without any experience of what goes on behind the scenes.
Fair enough Gwen Stefani’s label isn’t too bad and Kate Moss for Topshop is wearable but I still think celebrities should just stick to what they’re good at….whatever that is for Heidi Montag!
Agyness Deyn Is Fashion Queen March 7, 2008
Posted by Caz in : Fashion , add a commentDid anyone see Agyness Deyn on Jonathan Ross the other week?? She’s even cooler than I realised…..She came across as very modest and genuine and seemed to be just generally having a damn good time and making the most of the oppurtunities shes been given…..plus she looked amazing in the dress Henry Holland knocked up for.
Reports around this week are tipping Agyness as the new Kate Moss (something we said months ago!) but we think that might be under-selling her potential a bit. Agyness has got real star quality and is very likeable….that’s something Kat always lacked. There’s no denying Miss Moss was a fab model but these days you gotta be able to work it off the catwalk too…Agyness definitely has the edge when it comes to being admired because of her personality and her unique style rather than who she knows and what VIP lists shes on.
Scarlet Johansson is Beautiful at Berlin Film Festival February 18, 2008
Posted by Caz in : Fashion, Movies , add a commentScarlet Johansson is without a doubt one of the most gorgeous women on the planet …..in my opinion 
She looked absoultely stunning in this pink/purple sweetheart dress at the Berlin Film Fetsival over the weekend. Scarlet has beautiful womanly curves in all the right places and looks miles better than the stick insects we usuallly see on the red carpet…..this is what a woman should really look like.
Herve Leger Rainbow Bandage Dress….WTF??? February 6, 2008
Posted by Caz in : Fashion , 1 comment so farEveryone’s raving about Herve Leger this week after Max Azria debuted his revival of the label at New York Fashion Week but I’m struggling to see the appeal of this vintage Leger dress that Joss Stone wore to the show………….
Joss or Lindsay?
Joss’s dress is very similar to the one Lindsay Lohan wore to the Maxim Sexiest 100 awards just over a year ago and I hate to say it but I actually think Lindsay pulled it off better!
Saying that I don’t really see how this dress could look less than tacky on anyone. Bold rainbow colours are fab if you want to make a statement but along with that tigh fitting style and way to much flesh on show it just looks a bit chav-tastic in my opinion.
Disagree? Then lets hear it…..
Eva Longoria’s Jonathan Ross Dress January 31, 2008
Posted by Caz in : Fashion , add a commentEva Longoria’s style always catches my eye but this dress that she wore on the Jonathan Ross show last week really got me excited  and after a week of searching high and low for it I finally found a similar one!
 Ok so Eva’s is no doubt some expensive designer creation and I’ve yet to find exactly who is responsible for it but the dress below is close enough for me….and it’s a steal at £40! It’s part of Dorothy Perkins new spring/summer collection which, after a sneeky peek, i can confirm is spot on with the key summer trends. Well done Dotty P.
