25% Off Shoes at Office

Office are currently offering 25% off their entire web site - just enter ELLE at checkout. Not sure when this code runs out but I used it last night to purchase these gold ballet style flats with a wedge heel. Thought they'd look cute throughout summer with dark skinny jeans. They have a bit of everything though - even trainers and flip-flops so you'll definitely find something you can't miss out on.

Mischa Barton's KEDS At ASOS

Mischa Barton's slip on pumps by Keds [£25] are now available at ASOS. There are other styles to choose from too. ASOS is actually one place to watch out for at the moment - they are getting some fantastic US brands in.


Yay or Nay? : Topshop's Floral Print Top

Ok girls, haven't done one of these for a while. What's your verdict? Is Topshop's floral print blouse [£28] a yay or nay? If you like it, what would you wear it with?

Jessica Simpson shows off a little too much

Don't get me wrong - i'm a big Jessica Simpson fan, but she's just not looking her best right now. Girls, please learn from her mistakes...too much cleavage is never a good look. It may get you attention but it will be the wrong kind of attention. Plus, is it just me or does Jessica's 'tan' look all wrong - patchy and dirty - almost like she needs a good bath?!

Victoria & David Beckham in Paris

I know it's sad but I can't help but be interested in what this pair are upto. What a jet-setting lifestyle they lead. Victoria's hair apppears to be getting shorter and blonder week by week. Victoria & David Beckham in Paris for her birthday:

Eva Longoria in Nanette Lepore's Leopard Dress

This is one hot-item that you must buy now or risk missing out on it altogether. Eva Longoria's appearance in this fabulous Nanette Lepore Lucky Leopard Dress plus the fact that very few boutiques stock it means that it's sure to be a sell-out. This is a truly stunning dress, which is right on trend with this year's fascination with prints. It's an unbelievably versatile item as it can be dressed up or down.

Wear it with cute flats or wedges for daytime and patent heels for evening. It would work equally well for a wedding or hot dinner date. Don't forget to use code BGLAM for 20% off and you'll get free shipping worldwide as standard!

Going Crazy Over Tory Burch Reva Ballet Flats

Unless you've been living in a cave for the past few months you'll have come across Tory Burch shoes - the Reva ballet flats attracting the most attention. Numerous Hollywood celebs have been seen hanging out around Beverly Hills in them and who can blame them? They look super high quality and pretty darn comfortable.

Shopbop has a great selection but I wouldn't be surprised if the popular sizes sell out fairly quickly. This is a great shoe for all seasons and the wearability factor makes them great value for money. If you own a pair, post a comment and let the rest of us know what you think!

Jessica Simpson's Woo Henley On Sale

I just got a great deal - Jessica Simpson's Woo Henley in grass green on sale for just $48 plus shipping. Excuse the blurry photo but this is a screen-cap from her hit tv show Newlyweds. It's the perfect colour to fit in with this season's 'brights' which are everywhere right now. I'm thinking denim cutoffs, wedges, a long gold pendant necklace and a couple of wooden bangles. What do you think?

C & C California's New Summer Dresses

C&C California, the Queen of layering tees and tanks and loved by all of Hollywood, has just released some pretty unusual summer dresses. Each dress incorporates the jersey material that has made C&C famous but mix this with cute and very girly eyelet and this is what you get...

The colours are so pretty. You can buy these from Shopbop with prices around $150. Don't forget to use the discount code if purchasing this weekend.

Trend Watch: Coloured Jeans

Looks like Christina Aguilera has set a trend. I spotted her in these red skinny jeans a couple of months ago and now look what has appeared at Topshop - skinny jeans in red, turquoise, yellow, cobalt blue and purple. Carmen Electra has been spotted out in them too. What do you think? Something you'd wear? I imagine this is a fad, which will disappear as quick as it arrived so I won't be indulging.

Has Fendi Gone Mad?!

I came across these lovely (typing these words with extreme sarcasm) shoes online today. They are part of the new Spring/Summer 2007 footwear range of luxury brand Fendi. Is it just me, or are these the most ridiculous fashion design concept that has ever materialised? A kitten heel on the bottom of a wedge - why God? Why?

Kate Moss for Topshop Lookbook

It's not long now girlies...until K Day arrives - thats May 1st to you and me. Kate Moss for Topshop will arrive in stores and online in less than four weeks time. Snippets of the collection have been released in dribs and drabs over the last few weeks - in UK Vogue, on the Topshop web site and via the media. Now you can see a large selection here.

The collection is a 91 line range. Kate has apparently had major input into each design. The first collection, by Kate's own admission, is very much copy-cat of all the favourite items in her wardobe. The direction she wants to take next is to create her 'perfect' clothes - the garments in her imagination - and in this sense she really will become a 'fashion designer'. What I like about the range (from what I've seen) is that you can actually believe, hand on heart, that Kate herself would wear every single item and that has to be the biggest compliment we could pay. Kate commented ?œI wanted to feel that I?™d wear it, that I liked it and wanted it.??/span>


The range will appear within Topshop stores as a 'Kate Moss for Topshop' mini-boutique - this is not one of those limited edition collaborations which will sell out within three days and never be seen again. The ranges will be developed and new lines released regularly, changing with each season. Some garments, like evening dresses, will come as limited editions with only 100 released. I'm excited to see what will materialise - a leather jacket, rock t-shirts, fitted blazers, several styles of waistcoat (I want one of these!), jeans branded with embroidered swallows, hearts or stars, jean shorts, summer print dresses, masculine trousers and sequin mini dresses are all givens.

The Kate Moss boutique will also be appearing within 19 Barneys stores in the US - and an extra bonus for US fashionistas...you'll also find it at
Barneys Online. Barneys' Madison Avenue store will see it first on May 8th.

There's no escaping the fact that ladies across the land will be fighting to get their hands on this coveted range, much like the chaos that ensued at
the opening of Primark on Oxford Street this week. The website will crash and the initial ranges will end up on eBay for double the price!

Espadrilles To Die For


Espadrilles were big news in footwear last year and mark my words...it'll be the same this summer! And understandably so - they are a great choice in hot weather.

You can pick up a pair for £4 at Primark (low 2" wedge, ties round the ankle, closed toe and available in a ton of different colours) OR you could go for something like these beauties - $225 by Jean-Michel Cazabat with black or brown suede uppers.

Tom Ford Eyewear

I'm a little bit bored of the usual Dior, Gucci and Chanel sunglasses right now. I feel like I see them everywhere. I've been considering a couple of styles but nothing has made me pull out my cash and buy. I started to look in more detail recently at Tom Ford Eyewear and was pretty impressed. I like how each style in the range is very understated...oozing class, elegance and style. Tres-chic me thinks. Kate Moss, Lindsay Lohan and Sienna Miller are all fans.

I particularly like this aviator (style name 'Charles') in bronze, priced at £180. Another style that caught my eye was John, priced at $280 at Shopbop. You'll notice that i'm very much a fan of metal-framed glasses ~ i've never seen myself in the Jackie-O style black plastic frames. Whatever style you go for you'll find something by Tom Ford that matches your image.

Yay or Nay? : All Over Sequins

A little bit of glitz and glam is always nice but is this sequin overload? Metallics are big (again) this year and it seems to be the look of choice for Sienna Miller, Hilary Duff and Jennifer Lopez of late. So, perhaps they'd fight over the bronze and silver version of the sequin tops Topshop has just brought out, as pictured below. Would love to hear your comments on style, price and wearability. Is it a yay or nay? From left to right: Blue Sequin Top £50, Sequin Tee £55 and Bronze Sequin Top £50.
