Angelina Jolie and her children hit French Connection!

I think it’s been great for the UK having #Bradgelina over for the summer!  They’ve taken in lots of tourist attractions already on their stay here but yesterday it was all about the shopping!

Luckily Angelina chose the UK shop ‘French Connection’ which I would class as a more expensive high street shop.

Angelina spent £1,300 on her haul, but luckily for us French Connection has great sales and also has a few outlet stores around the UK!

Angelina bought three pieces from French Connection’s Classics range – the mustard camisole, £42, white top, £67 and black midi skirt, £72, she also purchased two charm necklaces and a nice faux fur coat for Zahara!

George at Asda August 2011 – Sarah gets frisked for her photos!

I went to our nearest Wal-Mart style Asda store yesterday to look at their George fashion range.

It was all going very well until a security guard approached me in front of other customers and demanded to know why I was taking photos of some of their clothes…I explained that I was a blogger and I wanted to get some pictures so I could write-up George’s current style.  He was having none of it, I honestly think he believed I was a competitor stealing their ideas!  Bit late when it’s on the shop floor love!  After ten minutes in the back room and showing him and his boss my websites I think they believed me and I was let loose on the store again with a promise not to take anymore photos!

Any hoos after that drama I will still do a write-up of what I found in late August!

There were a LOT of sale items, fair enough as we are in between the fashion seasons at the moment, lots of summer tops and 3/4 length trousers/jeans available as well as tonnes of t-shirts for £3 and £1.50 vest tops.  I did get a t-shirt and some 3/4 length jeans for a total of £8.50 (not bad!)

They had some excellent work wear, lovely fitted Next style dresses and others that reminded me of H&M designs.  Again very reasonable prices for all.  Lots of pyjamas and also some great items in their ‘teen’ range G:21 – I actually got a £5 top for this section which fits me fine!

I would recommend a trip if you like cheap, fast fashion!  Here are the photos I managed to bizarrely keep on my camera!

Fashion Trend: Fringing (and no it’s not for your hair!)

V Festival 2011 is now over and we saw a veritable amount of fashion over the two days.  We saw Rihanna, Jessie J, Pixie Lott and Ellie Goulding all performing and strutting their stuff on stage!

What can we take away from this?  Fringing and hot pants!!  Maybe not for the faint hearted this look!

If you aren’t brave enough to go short short then get some nice tailored longer shorts or 3/4 length trousers or stay short but combine it with tights (fishnets preferably) to cover up your legs a little.

As for fringing – well I’m not sold on the concept yet but Topshop and ASOS are definitely getting behind this trend and are introducing lines with fringing details.

So if you are going to an outdoor festival this year be flamboyant and embrace that inner pop star!

Topshop Fringed Playsuit @ £55!

DOLCE & GABBANA STAR DRESSES – GET THE LOOK!

HEY! I’M LOOKING UP AT MY STARGIRL!

I’m really into stars and space themes in clothing/fashion so I’m really happy that D&G star dresses are becoming really popular in celebrity culture.  Anne Hathaway is currently modelling one on the front of Marie Claire UK.

My favourite celebrity to rock this D&G look has to be Britney Spears.

Then last night at the Teen Choice Awards I noticed Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas rocking the look in yellow:

So what can you do to get this look?  Well you could go straight to the source if you have about £700 to spend? On D&G’s official website there are a few variations of the dress left to buy (http://store.dolcegabbana.com/dolce_gabbana/search/Dresses/woman/season/main/tskay/0E43D1BD/c/cat_1127/gender/D) the one below was my favourite.

But what about the high-street what can they offer for a more realistic budget?

ASOS has a very similar look available for £45.00 on their website.

New Look also has a Pink One-shoulder look available on their website for £23.

So you can get into stars for less and re-create that lovely D&G look!

BLAKE LIVELY LOOKS AMAZING IN ORANGE! GET THE LOOK ON THE HIGH STREET!

Blake

First of all I would get a tan! Treat yourself and go for a hand-applied fake tan or get a spray tan, they work and they will last for about a week.

Go for bright sparkly accessories – look at Blake’s they look like lovely silver crystal inspired pieces.

Leopard print shoes!  Not everyone’s cup of tea but they do take a back seat to the dress for this look.

Brighten your teeth! If it’s a special occasion then get them cleaned up or use a treatment from a pharmacy to instantly lift them!

Look for belted dresses!

Here are some similar high street looks for you to try!
