Topshops list of designers is getting crazy, but for me they are the sole reason I venture into the mad world in Oxford Circus.
Richard Nicoll has created another collection for s/s 09 that Topshop has snapped up, a great diffusion line from his main collection. The line consists of a workable contrast of tailored items and casual jerseys in white and bold colour blocks. A fresh new look were all in need of to get us out of these blacks and greys!
The main item that’s reaching out for me to give it a home is the sleeveless tailored jacket, a definite on my wish list!

The Brit Awards have come around again; those who attended always pick their outfits very carefully knowing people like us are on the attack! See the efforts of those trying to stand out from the crowd…





Estelle rocked out as famously as ever in a show stopping sculptural Dolce and Gabbana dress. Check out the amazing shoulder pads holding her up!





Soul queen Duffy wore the body hugging nude and black strapless dress, and a striking pair of matching Rupert Sanderson heels. Nude is is going to be the tone to look for out this summer, I’m thinking a strong golden tan is needed to pull it off though! This dress did wonders for the Miss as she walked away with three awards!

Kate Perry dazzled in a one off custom made corset by Hello Kitty couture, interesting choice for the Brit awards, but she looks stunning with her on trend wet look leggings!

Puma has partnered up with Sergio Rossi to produce a fierce footwear range to be debuted this month. But are they so fierce? Some think killer heals and runners shouldn’t mix. Personally the mary jane style doesn’t do it for me, but I’d definitely wear a pair of the lace ups!
