On this cold, miserable and wet Thursday afternoon, the only thing we can think about brightening it up is some bargain style picks.
We’ve scoured the sales and picked out some pieces that you can buy now at a discounted price – but definitely not cutting down on style.
Warehouse Savina Sandal NOW £22 WAS £30
Oasis Silk colour block shirt NOW £28 WAS £55
Oasis floral peplum dress NOW £25 WAS £35
Mango peplum blazer NOW £47.99 WAS £69.99
Topshop Geo Print short NOW £20 WAS £35
So, today’s Fashion Pick of the Day goes to this beautiful Oasis pleated maxi dress, I’ve gone this fancy today because today is otherwise known as Ladies Day at Aintree Race Course and I’m usually there.
But, today I’m not.
So, instead of going the races and getting dressed up, I’m sharing with you the dress I would have got if I was going.
The maxi style would have kept me a little warmer in this cold April chill that doesn’t seem to be going anywhere.
Depending on the length of the dress I would have worn a pair of embellished flat sandals – comfort is a big thing at the Races when you’re on your feet all day and no one can see them if you’re wearing a maxi dress.
I’d have worn my hair down with soft loose curls and styled it in a Grecian style with gold and rose-gold jewellery.
This dress is perfect for special summer occasions, so if you’re off to a wedding this year, I’d definitely recommend this one. Especially with a tan, it’ll look beautiful.
To all those who are off to the Races today or tomorrow for the Grand National I hope you have a lovely day and the weather stays clear.
Hopefully see you there next year.
Buy now £130.
Liam Gallagher was being totally ‘mad for it’ again last night as he made a total idiot of himself on stage at the Brits.
I mean what is it with this guy and awards shows? He can’t seem to act like a normal, civilised human being at any of them… firstly had him arguing with Blur via an awards speech, and now he’s used their latest gong to have a go at his brother Noel.
Accepting the award for best album of the past 30 years at The Brit Awards last night, Gallagher sauntered onto stage rubbing his nose and acting totally off his face, before thanking all his former bandmates, with the exclusion of his big brother Noel.
Then, making an even bigger joke of himself, Liam decided to fling his award (and the microphone) into the audience – which someone in our office reckons was his way of ‘giving the award back to the fans’ – but I just think was him wanting to play up to the ‘I don’t give a shit what the world thinks about me because I’m mad for it’ kind of indeed boy attitude.
I mean come on Liam, how childish and completely pathetic can you get? You’d be nowhere near as big as you are without Noel, so just get over the fact that he’s ditched you, okay?
Peter Kay’s response of “what a knob head†was utterly brilliant, I was half expecting Liam to hurtle back on stage and tackle the host to the ground, but Peter escaped unharmed – unlike Liam’s reputation.
What a plonker.

Liam Gallagher isn’t afraid to say something that makes us all gawp in amazement, and his latest ’announcement’ is just the latest bombshell to fall out of the Mancs potty mouth.
So, he’s been working on some new songs, great, we expected as much… but he only reckons they’re better than anything he recorded with Oasis… I mean, WHAT? Oasis are one of the best bands of all time… and you’re only one small part of that mate!
The cocky indie kid (or grandpa as the case may be) is working with the same line-up of Oasis, just minus his brother Noel, who quite the band back in July… so technically it’s Oasis, just without the brains of Noel.
In an interview with MTV Italy, Liam said he had been “demo-ing” tracks with his bandmates ever since Noel walked out prior to a show in Paris in the summer after his rocky relationship with Liam hit a new low.
Liam said: “We’ve been demo-ing some songs that we’ve had about, that we’ve had for a bit. Just doing that, on the quiet, not making a big fuss about it. After Christmas we might go in the studio and record them and hopefully have an album out in July or summat.
“We’ll do it in a different kind of way now. I’ll try and reconnect with a new band, new songs, and I’m feeling confident about the songs. I’m feeling a million per cent confident that they could be better than Oasis.”
It has since emerged that the brothers hardly spoke in the year leading up to Noel’s departure, as Liam revealed; “I love him to bits but we just don’t get on. Me and our kid have never been that close anyway. We’d only sort of hang out when we were on tour. We didn’t have a solid relationship.”

N-Dubz got two little awards at the MOBO’s on Wednesday night and now it looks as though they’ve let their success go to their heads and a doing a Liam Gallagher by slagging off their chart rivals.
According to Heatworld, that little trio ‘from the block’ have take a slight poke in the direction of our faves JLS after Dappy commented; “I’ve got nothing against them [JLS], but at the end of the day they’re a manufactured band. I just think it’s different to us, who have worked our bollocks off. I spent years writing lyrics in my bedroom with no one hearing. Now people are singing them back to me. JLS don’t know what that’s like.”
Dappy denied that he had anything against artists born from reality shows like The X Factor, but then added about JLS, “They just sing other people’s songs – and they were miming.” Err, it doesn’t sound like you’ve got nothing against them to me mate, or maybe you’re just a tad jealous?
However, Dappy wasn’t the only member to have loose lips after the awards, as front woman Tulisa took the opportunity to slag off La Roux singer Elly Jackson saying; “She is just a hater. She should look at herself and don’t judge other people.”
Crikey, could N-Dubz be the new Oasis? We really hope not, because let’s face it, they’re never going to be as successful.
What do you think… are you team JLS of team M-Dubz, sorry, I mean N-Bubs…. 
Ruth… xx
Lady Gaga might be one of the most successful new singers on the pop scene at the moment, but with success always comes jealousy, and it’s now the turn of Kelly Osbourne to have a go at Gaga.
Oasis are never far from a brawl are they, and as they have been behaving themselves recently, it’s unsurprising that Noel Gallagher has got his claws out again – this time attacking Bono and Chris Martin.

Liam and Noel Gallagher are a pair who are never fair from a war of words, and this time it’s a poor old journalist who have come up against the foul-mouthed siblings. Tut, Mrs Gallagher must be oh, so proud.
As if music couldn’t get any cheesier at the moment, it looks like Aqua are surfing back into the charts after scoring another number one. Although, the news that they’re going to release a greatest hits is slightly baffling, as i thought they only had one ‘hit.’
Rachel Stevens has been left reeling after she was robbed of her jewellery by three men who followed her into her flat in north London. We hope she feels better soon, but it just goes to show, Mayfair might be expensive on Monopoly, but it can’t always buy you safety.

Sleeping in your make up isn’t such a sin according to Little Boots . The singer thinks she “looks nice” when she sleeps in her make-up and apparently often goes to bed without cleansing. Hmmmm but will she still be saying that when she breaks out in spots?
It seems that Jason Issacs has been looking into some mysterious crystal ball and has come to some conclusion that Daniel Radcliffe will quit acting to be a director. Seeing as Radcliffe really has only had one major role, yes I’m talking about the boy wizard, I think it’s a tad early to be talking about retirement!
Oasis brought their music home to Manchester’s Heaton Park this weekend, with over 200 thousand fans coming to the city to see their ‘homecoming’ over the past three days. We think it’s time we salute one of the greatest British bands of all time.
