I’m in love with this All Saints Aztec inspired mini-dress and if you think it looks familiar, maybe you saw the photos of Madonna’s teenage daughter, Lourdes, wearing the exact same dress at the Vanity Fair Oscars party last month. Regardless of the fact that a 14 year old has been seen wearing the dress, I’m determined to make it mine.

It’s a shame that MTV decided to cancel Lauren Conrad’s new reality TV show, as the title sequence to the project shows promise – it is very sweet. The reality show was going to be based around Lauren’s life as a fashion designer and was due to be a little more serious and documentary like than LC’s previous projects with MTV…

I blame Natalie Portman and Black Swan. There definitely seems to be ballerina micro trend developing this season. Tutu’s, romantic silk and tulle floaty dresses, ballet pumps becoming the flat shoe of choice once again. I even have friends dusting off their ballet shoes and returning to the bar; taking up adult ballet classes…

Prints are a big Spring/Summer 2011 trend – whether bold and fruity at Stella McCartney or horizontally striped at Prada, there will be no getting from them this season. I for one adore prints and especially love clashing them. Floral and stripes are a particular favourite combination of mine.

What a fun weekend – I spent it in the company of a very good friend, drinking tea, eating cake and checking out the vintage stalls at the Bristol Fashion Fair. Set in St Paul’s Church in Portland Square, Bristol, there were around 35 stalls of wonderful and affordable vintage clothing, jewellery and homeware. There were even vintage inspired makeovers available, where stylists created gorgeous vintage up-dos and applied cheesecake girl inspired make up.

Now that we’ve said goodbye to 2010, the countdown for ad campaigns for the Spring/Summer 2011 collections begins. One of the first off of the mark is Versace, who have the lovely Mad Men actress, January Jones, modelling their Spring/Summer 2011 Accessories; so glad to see January getting some recognition from the fashion industry. The campaign was shot by legendary Mario Testino and girlfriend looks fierce…

Ahh, the Christmas season is well and truly behind us. I’m taking down my rather sad Christmas tree this weekend – it’s all droopy and crispy. I haven’t posted in a couple of weeks, deciding to have a little break instead. The result being that I’m all refreshed and optimistic for the year ahead. Fashion never being too far away from my mind, I have been enjoying a fantastic book that my sister got me for Christmas – Alexander McQueen: Genius of a Generation. The book is the first to be penned after McQueen’s tragic death last year and is full of gorgeous, breathtaking pictures…

Another year, another Christmas party season to get ready for! This happens to be my favourite time of year just because of the sheer volume of fabulous dresses available to buy – regular readers on this blog will know I have a thing for dresses (some girls like shoes, others bags, I have a wardrobe crammed full of dresses). The choice of Christmas party dresses on the high street gets better and better every year. These are a few of my favourites, which may provide you with a little inspiration…

According to fashion bible Women’s Wear Daily Jessica Simpson’s fashion empire is due to hit $1 billion in sales next year. This is crazy, I didn’t realise that her fashion ventures were all that successful. She’s obviously a more shrewd business woman then people give her credit for – apparently she’s amassed an empire made up of a clothing label, a jeans and footwear line, fragrance, luggage, hair extensions and next year, a sportswear range…
