I have seen many Fashion & Beauty blogs doing these sorts of posts, in video and text form, so I decided to do my own. Now, don’t think that this is expert advice, but I have picked up tips from around the web, and also have some ideas of my own.
Recently I have been watching ‘Styled to Rock’ on Sky Living. It is a programme where aspiring designers get the chance to design for Rihanna, and many other celebrities. So, I decided to do the same sort of thing but using clothes from the high street, but still using the same celebrities! Little Mix!

Another big trend this upcoming A/W 12/13 is the knitted Jumper. The great thing about this trend is that it goes so well with all the other trends, like Camouflage, Purples, Embellishment and more!

It is day 1 of the Venice Film Festival and already the stars are wearing well, so here are a few pictures… (Pictures from The Telegraph).
Kate Hudson
Naomi Watts
Daniela Virgilio
I absolutely love Daniela’s look, it is super cute, and I wish I could have a mini version in my wardrobe!
This upcoming A/W 12/13 Leather is a big hit! So I have found a few items which I love, they are quite pricey, but if you really want to look stunning and chic this A/W, then have a look into your purse!
Urban Code Leather Skirt £85.00 (ASOS)
Leather Peplum Jacket with Zip Front £150.00 (ASOS)
Black Leather Fit & Flare Dress £120.00 (River Island)
Leather Strappy Corset Belt £40.00 (Topshop)
All these pieces are dead on trend, especially the shorts! Oxblood + Leather = 2 Trends in 1! The belt is great because it works so well with a Peplum, as it draws your eyes even closer to the waist!
