IT'S ALL ABOUT BANDAGE

Keep 7th February free girls because Topshop's Edit pop-up boutique returns! The Boutique will bring together a collective mix of cool young designers... One of which is EG.

I'd never heard from them until I was sent an email about them. After doing a bit of research, I found out it's a brand made in England and a label that is aimed at the "metro-sexual woman". Can a women be metero-sexual? Well I guess that's what EG have invented! If you're strong, confident and unafraid to embrace your masculine side then you NEED some EG in your life.

Im absolutely j'adoring these bandage pieces by EG which you will be able to find in Topshop's pop-up boutique, they look extremely sexual.

EG CON DRESS £220

EG BOW MESH BODY £70

EG CREAM & BLACK JACKET £190

EG ELASTIC BANDAGE LEGGINGS £280

TOPSHOP SS10 LOOKBOOK

TATTOO 'IT'

We've all heard of the new 'IT' bag, 'IT' dog and 'IT' mobile phone, but this is the coolest accessory to ever hit our stores; The Chanel tattoo!

Don't freak out, if tattoos aren't you're thing then don't worry because they ARE temporary and you can scrub it off whenever you want! Several of the models during the Spring 2010 show donned temporary tattoos. Now Chanel is coming out with their own range of j'adorable temp tats! I know for a fact this will be something that we shall be seeing a lot more of.

I mean, have you ever thought about getting a tattoo at least once in you're lives and never really got down to it because you're too scared? Well this is your answer! For a pack of 55 different sexy tattoos for £49 isn't that bad really is it? That means you will have a different tattoo for a different look for every week of the year! It's so chic.

The range, called 'L'ceil de Chanel' is set to hit Chanel stores in March!

MATTHEW WILLIAMSON FOR MEN

Matthew Williamson has announced he will be unveiling his own menswear SS10 line, with the hope to expand further.

It wasn't long ago that Victoria Beckham announced her vision for men and having David head the collection which is rather exciting. It could go horribly wrong OR we could soon be having men with golden balls walking around London?

Anyways, according to VOGUE the MW menswear line will be available from February 2010 and stocked in Harrods and, of course, MW Mayfair store and online. But girls don't fret- I am sure you can borrow some of the pieces, after all,we all love to wear our boyfriends clothes, don't we?

LOUISE GOLDIN LAUNCHES HER FOOTWEAR FOR TOPSHOP

If you remember back in November's post about Louise Goldin launching her footwear collection at Topshop, well the time has finally come. This February the hotly anticipated collection who's inspiration is taken from Baroque opulence and high-glamour, these babies will do any girl justice!

First seen on the catwalk of Louise's SS10 collection, the fusion between studded fierce attitude and diamante sparkling glamour is just so sexy and are available in Topshop stores as of 5th February in black and rose, cream from beginning of March 2010. Retailing at £150 they would look great with a cute little evening dress. I think you really need to make these shoes the focus of your outfit so you could team it up with this one shoulder dress by Rare, available at Topshop from £49! Along with this fierce Alexander McQueen clutch. Make any "cute" outfit look edgy.

DOLE & GABBANA SS10 CAMPAIGN PREVIEW

If you look back at my previous post here you would have known about this coming... The new face for SS10 Dolce & Gabbana could only ever be the 'Queen of Pop' Madonna.

Now that the pictures have finally been released, what does everybody think? Compared to her LV campaign, I quite like her in this campaign. She looks a little less errr, dare I say, airbrushed and actually more like a proper woman with big boobs!

LATEST TRENDS FOR YOUR EVERYDAY WARDROBE

Ok, so I get a lot of feedback from people and the main one that always comes from men is "we want to see more about menswear!" I have to admit, I don't really enjoy menswear as much as I do womenswear. For me menswear is just all about the same shapes, cuts, patterns. Not many men actually like to experiment with their clothing in fear of being perceived as being "gay".

However, all that has now changed in the past few years, firstly being "gay" is cool! Yes, all you dirty hetro's out there embrace your inner metrosexualism (it will get you far more women than you expect). Men have become increasingly aware of their looks and dressing habits and are a lot more independent in shopping; No more shopping done by their girlfriends or god forbid their mothers! Hallelujah!

So here's what a well dressed man should really ever need in their wardrobes:

THE PLAIDED SHIRT

A Kurt Cobain inspired plaided shirt with slim sleeves is what you need to give you a more of a mature yet playful look for the weekends.


BASEBALL JACKET & STRAIGHT LEG JEANS

A nylon or maybe a leather baseball jacket to go perfectly with some sexy straight legs! Straight legs were never hot, but now with their cool updated style. Its perfect! But remember boys NO BOOT CUTS!


THE DENIM SHIRT

This is one of the hottest pieces, and it goes great with everything! Shopping, dinner party, or maybe even just go or a preppy look? This is what you need!





THE V-NECK SWEATER

Don't like vibrant colours? I don't. But this is great for summer, and something I'm totally going to try out myself, I don't wear much colour but I think a vibrant colour paired with a dark polo would look fantastic, especially with 3/4 length jeans and loafers.

MULBERRY GOES CHUNG OVER ALEXA!

Mulberry have gone and done it again, they have defied the recession and when we all thought that the "it" bag was totally dead, they go and create THE bag of 2010! Inspired & named after British Style icon, Alexa Chung. The Alexa bag is something every women needs to have to add to her collection! Especially if you already own a Bayswater!

What I love about the Alexa is the proportion and size of the bag. It's great for taking shopping and even to work, if you want to look like the update-to-date fashionista in the office it's definitely something we NEED not want but NEED! Mulberry didn't stop there though, they leave you spoilt for choice as to complete the Alexa family, they have also created the oversized Alexa and the Alexa clutch!


It will be in stores oh the 11th Jan and it comes in loads of different colour! Classic Mulberry oak, ink blue & butter, with brass hardware and also in a stand out, fuzzy, smudgy, shiny leopard and many more!

So put 11th January into your diaries girls!!!

I WANT ACNE

I am absolutely in love with this ACNE tuxedo jacket from Matches! I think it has my name written all over it, it's just a genius S/S10 piece. Retailing at £358 I really really really really want it! Roll on pay day!

ALEXANDAER MCQUEEN SS10

I was truly blown away by Mcqueen's SS10 collection when I was watching the video. It made me wish I was there. Could this be the future of fashion? As I was watching it from the start, it made me think about how far we have come with the fashion industry from the days of Coco Chanel and Christian Dior.

Designers in our generation are not only pioneering but so unbelievably mental it makes me wee a little! I totally j'adore it! Alexander McQueen's show was something that I am sure a lot of designers watched and thought "oh god, how am I meant to top that this season?" Everything from the big industrial machines with the camera's, the psychedelic feel you get when you glance into Mcqueen's pieces and the edgy platforms that make women look so 2050! Love it.
