Cheryl's Mini Makeover!

Finally Cheryl Cole has gotten rid of those hair extensions and has given herself a mini fashion makeover. Gone (hopefully) are the days of the Xfactor live shows where she tried too hard to be on trend and uber -stylish, or that hideous mesh frock disaster she wore for her birthday! Gross!! She’s now a chart-topping, solo artist and deserves a new look away from tacky pop princess, this new look is more sophisticated and polished…but still keeps her young, fresh and sexy! Go Chezza!

Out at the weekend for a Gary Barlow bash she wore a gorgeous body-con Julien MacDonald colour-block dress, teaming it with a chunky Malene Birger Necklace and her new shaggy crop! What I love about this look is the muted colours (a nice change from her usual eye-popping colours), extreme structured shoulders and sheer sleeve detail...she looks delish!



If you want to channel Chez’s new look then look no further than your favourite online stores, www.asos.com and www.lipsy.co.uk. Both stock a variety of colour-block style dresses. And also the very on-trend, sheer-sleeve style dresses. And for those of you wanting to get the real thing??? Well the dress will set you back a few thousand…but the ‘By Malene Birger’ Mondi embellished felt necklace is available on www.net-a-porter.com for only €169…a bargain for a piece of designer heaven!

'IT' Designer of the Future... David Koma

Cheryl Cole, Lady Gaga, Beyonce and Megan Fox are all fans of fashion newbie David Koma, and although he’s been taking a lot of stick in the media industry about his quirky designs, he must be doing something right if all these famous fashionistas have been taking notice.

David graduated last year from the MA Fashion course at Central Saint Martins and his first ever collection to go down the catwalk is the S/S 2010. One design now infamously donned the “CD dress”, which Cheryl Cole got slated for wearing on Xfactor.

He has given his own unique spin to the tribal and futuristic trend that a lot of designers were influenced by this season. A collection that is clearly not for the wallflowers, and is refreshingly not mainstream! His designs are injected with bright oranges and hot pinks, eclectic patterns and interesting embellishments that for once aren’t sequins, but he certainly must have a fan-base other than style-conscious celebrities, as fashion store Browns have now started stocking the young designers collection. So if you feel like taking a walk on the wild side, why not invest in a little Koma and stand out from the crowd!

Kinky Couture … Naughty, but oh so nice!

Those of you loving the Cheryl Cole 'Fight for this Love' video costumes are in for a treat… I have found where to get the dangerously sexy, spiked corset…and it will only set you back around 4000euro! The lethally embellished corset has 2-inch metal spikes and a plethora of studs, but the detail is all handmade with tender loving care…hence the hefty price-tag.

This corset is one part of the new Couture line launched by the sensual and sexy lingerie label Agent Provocateur. The line named “Soiree” has been described as the “ultimate luxury fantasy”. Other pieces available to buy (if you get on the very long waiting list) are a barely there “nipple cap” ensemble featuring strands of Swarovski crystals, while another all-in-one ensemble seemed to be made entirely of leather straps and metal studs.

Although the new line does also cater for those with less adventurous taste, with classic 40’s inspired 3-piece lace sets, pussy-bow neckties and cape details for a cuter look …it was definitely the raunchy sets that has got people talking! Perfect for those with a kinky tendency in the bedroom, this line of leather, studs, corsets and spikes won’t disappoint!
