MY BEAUTIFUL NEW DRESS

I snapped up an absolutely gorgeous block colour summer dress from AX Paris today.

Coral is one of the hottest colours of the season and teamed with muted colour blocks (cream and grey) the dress is going to be easy to dress up or down.

Even better, it was a bargain at only £22!

I'm planning on wearing it to a summer party and teaming with gold gladiators or coral wedges.

I'm loving their dresses so much I may also purchase this gorgeous coral dress with lace neckline: http://www.axparis.co.uk/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=798 - yummy!

Pixie Lott - A fashionista in the making?

Yay, a brand new UK homegrown talented girl whose fashion off duty is just as fab as that when working.

The 18 year old singer shows off some serious pins in her video for the fantastic 'Mama Do' (link below) and doesnt dissapoint on a stroll around town either.

A classic blazer updated with youthful accessories, turn ups and pumps keeps her looking young and fresh without losing any style points.

Bravo Pixie, looking forward to seeing more of your wardrobe!

STELLA McCARTNEY TO DESIGN GAP CHILDRENSWEAR

This is going to be amazing. Fact.

I officially have another reason to be broody - Stella is going to turn her hand to creating a kids collection for the Gap!

The range is due to hit stores in November, so not long to wait. Stella says: "For years now I’ve wanted to create a collection for kids... I believe that this one-off collaboration will be a great way for customers to be able to participate in the Stella McCartney brand."

In the past, the lovely Miss McCartney has designed for H&M (who sold out of her creations in a matter of hours) and of course Adidas, on a more longterm basis.

So, so excited to see her miniature fashionistas when the campaign photos are done.

Pringle to show at LFW

Pringle of Scotland have announced today that they will be returning to show at London Fashion Week in September.

This season's LFW is set to go down in history as the best ever, with reams of fashion houses due to celebrate the 25th anniversary of every fashionista's favourite diary date.

'We are unbelievably excited about our move back to London, especially as this year our own anniversary coincides with the British Fashion Council’s 25th celebrations', said Pringle's Creative Director Clare Waight Keller today.

Looking forward to seeing their latest creations!

Forbes Announces Top Earning Supermodels

Forbes has announced the top earning supermodels of the moment. Some thoughts:

WOW at the sheer size of the gap in earnings between Gisele and the rest of the lovely ladies.

Where is Tyra?? Surely she is so ridiculously rich from ANTM etc that she would blow the rest of the modelling world out of the water?! Madness!

L.o.v.e Vodianova, admittedly partly due to her charity work. I'm a sucker for an oversized cheque...

Miranda Kerr is amazing, you can imagine her as the girl next door as well as Supersexy VS model.

De Paula is becoming more and more editorial which is super exciting.

As for Alessandra Ambrosio - any woman who struts their stuff in a VS fashion show three months after having a bouncing baby is a winner in my book...

Possible favourite face is Doutzen Kroes. Take a look at the pic - she is essentially pure sex coupled with an air of innocence that makes you feel bad about it. Madonna whore complex personified if you will. Lord, even her eyebrows are amazing.

Here is the list in full:

1. Gisele Bundchen $25m

2. Heidi Klum $16m

3. Kate Moss $8.5m

4. Adriana Lima $8m

5. (tie) Doutzen Kroes & Alessandra Ambrosio $6m

7. Natalia Vodianova $5.5m

8. Daria Werbowy $4.5m

9. Miranda Kerr $3m

10. Emanuela De Paula $2.5m

Let me know your thoughts...xxx

Lacroix Files for Bankruptcy

Despite his infamous silhouette coming back with a (questionable) bang on Madonna's bod at this year's Met Ball, Lacroix has filed for bankruptcy on behalf of his fashion house.

Of course, it seems obvious that in a recession people are not only swapping lunch out for lunch box but pouf sillhouette for topshop tulip skirt.

One gets the sinking feeling that Lacroix may be one of the the first in a considerable line of fashion houses to suffer...

ScarJo Face of Mango

First Daisy Lowe and now ScarJo - Mango are officially on fire.

Mango.com has revealed some exclusive pics of Miss Johansson and she is looking incredible. So good to see three dimensional women continuing to make a comeback - she has personality, guts and drive and isn't ashamed to show them. I heart the Paris Vogue cover above. Amazing.

Mango says: "We have chosen the beautiful actress for her extraordinary personality, which embodies the ideal of the urban independent and cosmopolitan woman Mango wishes to dress. A woman who is serene and elegant, yet fun loving and youthful all at the same time.”

The fashion brand has gone from strength to strength over the past few years and I love that their range is so diverse in both style and price. Whether you are looking for bargain or blowout, Mango is a pretty safe bet.

If Dior hadn't snapped her up, I'd love to see Marion Cotillard as their next brand ambassador. Maybe in 2010...
