Cos Spring/Summer 11

It's no secret that I'm a huge Cos fan; I rave about it to anyone that will listen.

However, I took a friend in the Oxford Street store to break their Cos-virginity recently, and felt personally responsible when we both walked out empty-handed and a little disappointed.

Please don’t despair, as I’ve just browsed through their spring/summer collection and it’s fantastic. As we come to expect, there are some great easy-to-wear, minimalist pieces in classic muted colours. These are perfect for bridging the gap from day to night, and work wear to out-of-hours. My personal favourites are the black high-waisted trousers (above), and long-sleeved v-neck dress (below). I can’t wait until pay day to start shopping!

London Fashion Week A/W 11, Street Style

One of the best things about London Fashion Week is the people watching, in and around Somerset House.

I could spend endless hours looking at the street style on offer in the most creative of all the fashion capital's.

Here are some of my favourite street style photos:

I love the combination and strength of the black-rimmed glasses, gothic lipstick and green boyfriend blazer.

Great gold studded detail on these otherwise casual trainers.

This gentleman reminds me of a forgotten age, with the cravat, military coat, tweed trousers and highly-polished shoes.

Who said that fashion is for the youth.

A big thumbs up!

Colour blocking - my favourite trend this season!

Teamed with a felt hat and she's good to go.

One of those looks that would never work on paper,

but in person it's a triumph.

This is all that's great with English eccentricity.

I saw bow ties on men everywhere at LFW (inc. three on the front row at E. Tautz alone). Men start digging out yours!

Emo Hair Style

Emo Hair Style
Emo is not only a hairstyle; it is one practice! The hair style was begun by a group of teenager's tagged emos, or one who liked to listen to expressive music and emos started style by a way they dressed. Dress was plain and holed jeans as well as thick clothing were the beginning because style then soon turned in hair. The Emo hair styles today are not used or else worn by completely devoted Emos but are in its place found on lots of individuals who find a look very stylish!
With the emo hairstyles, everything goes, given that it does not look like something like a prom queen and king would dress in. Most the emo girls generally dye their hair black. Lots of emo boys have got the jet black hair, however it is not widespread. Any of the black dye may do, and bolder the effect, better. You don’t need to worry about dye jobs looking very natural, as lots of emo hair styles are clearly dyed. You may want to freshen edges with the frosted highlights, purple and blue, but ensure these shades show through a black dye. If you are looking forward to looking into the Emo hairstyle for first time then it is suggested to go to stylist who has got experience with that look.

Alexa Chung: Decoded

Alexa Chung is undoubtedly one of the biggest fashion icons of the present day. She has developed a style that is immediately recognisable and is one of the most-copied look of past year. It is the look that everyone wants yet seldom gets right; what is it that makes this look so successful?

Every street, club, shop and magazine seems to be channeling Alexa's style, and why not, she is the epitome of effortless chic. This girl has the skill to achieve what very few can; to look like you have not tried, and to look good with it. Having an indie boyfriend on your arm also can't harm your style status...











Now for those of you , who like me, want to add a little bit of 'Alexa' to our wardrobes you'll be pleased to know that there are some very easy style tips to abide by. Firstly, Alexa never wears tights, bare legs are a given. Secondly, long pendents are worn with anything and everything. Then there's the matter of the cut of the clothes; Alexa always opts for classic cuts giving her a timeless look, this teamed with vintage accessories, a boyfriend blazer and bed-head hair finish the look.










However what makes this girl's fashion sense so enviable is that she has such natural style and never ceases to amaze us with her ingenious piecing together of outfits, take the pink velvet Luella ruffle dress at the Elle Awards as a prime example. Alexa we adore thee.
