I have been on ASOS recently and found there all new Personal Stylist ‘Beta’ Live Chat. It’s basically someone who finds what you want for you, so if you’re at work, you can be working away, but have someone look for what you want to wear on that Christmas Office Party 😉 So here’s my review… (Now this is a Beta – trial – for ASOS, so it’s just what I think of it, and if they should keep it! And for privacy reasons, as the stylists are real people, I have hidden their identities!)

I faked I was looking for a dress, as 1, I didn’t need one and 2, it was all a test!

So they asked a few questions, including my size (fake), what I wanted and the style. Remember – I ASKED FOR A PEPLUM / DIP HEM.

So she found me this, and as I said it was the wrong shape! I know, I am a fussy customer!

Oh oh! She forgot the shape…. Oh dear… I think they should maybe write down the needs of the customer!

Then they found me this = PEPLUM = CHECK!

Then I asked whether there were any ear cuffs that were quite cheap, and there was, so I was a happy girl!

Helpfulness: 8/10 – They were friendly, relatively fast and they found some nice things.

Speed: 7/10 – Quite fast, but they could have put more than one link at a time!

Overall: 7/10 – I think could work, but I prefer looking myself!

I am very sorry to those who think this is late, but I know! Haha Anyway here is my online Advent Calendar…

1st December: Leafy & Lovely Bath Salts £1.99 (For Her & For You)

2nd December: Police Original EDT Spray £9.95 (For Him)

The reason I put ‘FACT’ is simple. We have finished another year! A great one also. With the Diamond Jubilee, London 2012, and the end of the recession (some say), 2013 has got a lot to live up to, but I believe it will. Hopefully things will turn out for the best! The film world say so (with the new Hunger Games coming out), the Fashion world say so (with a new year of amazing trends), and so do us food lovers (Chicken Wings he we come! says Vogue Japan….?) Yes, it looks like it will turn out to be a good one, so here is a list of things you can do to make that FACT a reality….

And, if 2012 is the end of the world, then cram all of this into the space of time we have left! Go on, DO IT! 🙂

Yes the easy to do Ponytail is hot! Loads of celebrities and models are wearing it, high or low. Here’s a few pictures (Found on Telegraph.co.uk)…

Victoria Beckham - Low Pony

Model at Jason Wu - High Pony

Gwyneth Paltrow - High Pony

Secondly, here is my Ponytail guide!…

I haven’t really done much Celebrity Fashion recently, so I guess, The London Evening Standard Awards 2012 will do nicely! Yes, pretty much everyone was there. Including Bon actresses (sorry, no Daniel Craig, I don’t think!), to the brilliant Bill Nighy (again, sorry. I love him! He is brilliant!) and then to Tinie Tempah. So here a few snaps, and a whizz on my favourite looks… (Pictures from The Telegraph)

Ruth Wilson in Dior Haute Couture – I love this look! Adding the hot pink dress with the black trousers, creates a smart yet, amazing party look!

Bill Nighy – Sorry! I just couldn’t resist. I love him! (In a great actor, funny way)…

Cara Delvigne – The big model at the moment, stuns in this brilliant black dress and see-through sleeves. Stunning.

Anna Wintour – Last by not least! The amazing, US Vogue Editor, Anna Wintour! She (well her documentary ‘The September Issue), actually made me think of a great baby name… weird, but true…!

Anyway, so there’s the Evening Standard Awards round up! Thanks guys, and enjoy the rain (here and in the UK!)

Well, this may not be a hit on the Autumn/Winter 12/13 Catwalk, but it is a hit every Christmas time. But! The problem is, how do we work them, when going out and about? How do we turn the embarrassment of having a Rudolph on your jumper, into something which people will think, ‘That looks so cool.’? Well, I am here to solve your fashion problems! Here we go…

Red Christmas Fairisle Jumper £35.00 (River Island)

LOOK 1: Black Denim Amelie Super Skinny Jeans £20.00, Black Stud Boots £40.00 & Red Waffle Snood £15.00.

LOOK 2: Dark Purple Peplum Skirt £25.00, Black Block Print Scarf £18.00, Black Leopard Print Panel Wedge Ankle Boots £35.00 & Purple Diamante Ball Stud Earrings £5.00.

This A/W 12/13 Season, Lace is a big hit! The wonderful patterns and fabrics, can be worked so well. I (a fashion blogger) am, in love with this trend! If you want to go girly girl sweet, you can! If you want to go Gothic-ly Gorgeous, you can! Take a look at this outfit to get inspired this Winter 12/13 Season!Lace Dress £60.00 (Next), SCALA High Heels £22.00 (ASOS), Aldo Stellfox Shopper Bag £31.50 (ASOS) & Oasis Set of Three Earrings £10.00 (ASOS).

This outfit is very glamourous, and great for you ladies who love going to work in style! It is surprisingly cheap, and it is all from the High Street! With the make-up go for quite a nude tone, don’t go too bright because you want the dress to be on the main stage.

This Spring 13′ will bring a massive trend, which has already started. Red & Black! No, not the telly programme presented by Ant & Dec, but the colour Red & Black. You can see it all over the catwalk, and here’s a sneak peek, plus some of my favourite pieces from the high street, which I know you’ll love! So, here’s your Spring 13 Fashion Trend Update…

House of Holland, Antonio Berardi & Michael Kors via Telegraph Fashion

This look is easy to create, and these designers have done it using another great trend,’The Big Frizz!‘ I think I prefer the House of Holland look best, because it’s kind of under ‘The Blogger’ trend. Also, I love the shoes! Anyway, here’s my favourite high street pieces…

Drop Waist Ponte Scallop Dress £45.00 (Oasis), Aztec Midi Tank Dress £32.00 (Topshop), Feather Hem Dress £13.00 (Warehouse), Red Christmas Fairisle Jumper £35.00 (River Island), Cambrige Satchel Company Black Leather Satchel £90.00 (ASOS) & TIGER Studded Wedge Shoe Boots £65.00 (ASOS).

My 2 favourite pieces out of this, are the River Island Christmas Jumper, and Oasis dress. They are so cute and simple! I can imagine snuggling up by the fire in that jumper, and then going out into the cold with a nice warm black coat in the dress!

Yes, it’s the new big competition in the modelling world. Will Miranda Kerr out run Kate Moss? The new girl on the seen (Well, if you like to call modelling since you were 13 ‘new!’) is giving Kate Moss a run for her money! Next season, see’s the Baby Face, Victoria’s Secret Angel, Miranda take on the role of the Mango Model for the Spring 13 Campaign. Kate Moss was modelling for Mango, for the past 3 seasons, but now things have changed around. Now, except from Kate’s new biography & documentary (I know, it’s been a very long wait…), do you think it won’t be long until Kate Moss is only seen in the history books? Well, the other day I did a ‘Fashion-Off’ between the females of the I’m A Celebrity Jungle, and actually I’m going to use that again! Let the games begin…

I’m going to leave this one to you guys… Enter the poll below…

I was browsing around looking for the next Hunger Games release date, when I came across a picture of the stunning, Jennifer Lawrence, and I decided to do a CSC on her. Now, I couldn’t find a skirt the same, so I had to use an ordinary pleated Maxi Skirt, but this look is great anyway!

Cream Pleated Maxi Skirt £35.00 (River Island), Black Stripe Knit Keyhole T-Shirt £8.99 (New Look), FINISH Leather Flat Sandals £15.00 (ASOS), New Look Stud Backpack £24.99 (ASOS) & Retro Sunglasses £12.00 (ASOS).

I love Jennifer Lawrence! I seriously cannot wait until next November! But, this look is so easy to do, just add some red lippy! You can also do this under a budget, just buy the maxi dress and add one of your old baggy t-shirts from home, and a pair of flip flops, and your done! Also, who loves her hair? Hands Up? See, all of us! I would die for her hair 🙂 and… her tan! 🙂 So naturally stunning is the beautiful Jennifer Lawrence…!!
