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.

Available from All Saints

The ballet trend mixes two key 2011 looks, sporty and romantic nudes; combining the looks to create prima ballerina perfection.

This gorgeous net and bustier dress from Rare is so romantic and striking; it will have anyone trying it on doing pirouettes in the dressing room. Available from Topshop.

These velvet head bands from ASOS are perfect for ensuring that no hair comes loose when up in a cute little bun.

Loving these super cute Rose point ballet pumps from Ted Baker.

Finally, with a nod to Black Swan, a pretty little feather skirt from Alice + Olivia.

This zebra print mustard shirt may not be floral, fruity or stripey but hey – throw an animal print on a vibrant coloured shirt, tie it at the waist and I’m a happy girl. This H by Henry Holland Zebra print, mustard shirt sounds a nightmare on paper but I absolutely love it. It would look so good with seventies inspired denim flares, open toed tanned platform heels and a wide brim floppy hat and is an absolute bargain at only £25 at Debenhams.

As well as expanding my mind, I’ve also been trawling the pages of lookbook.nu, which describes itself as a fashion collective. It is awesome. Gorgeous girls and boys from all over the world, post looks of themselves in their favourite fashion ensembles. It is one of the better street style blogs out there. Some of the individuals who post are extremely style savvy and it’s where I feel the most wardrobe envy. My favourite postie to date is Olivia H, a self proclaimed bad role model from Manchester. She rocks.

I definitely need to up my game

For me, wedding fever is in the air, what with the impending Royal nuptials dominating world wide news and many of my friends tying the knot at the end of the year, there’s no getting away from it. Which poses the inevitable question of “what to wear”? Winter wedding fashion offers more of a challenge than a summer wedding outfit but just go into it thinking of yourself as a glamorous layered cake, where each reveal offers something new and breathtaking.

Starting with a cover up – fur was everywhere on the Autumn/Winter 2010 shows, I personally prefer faux as was seen at Chanel but each to their own! A chic fur stole or cover up will add drama, glamour and most importantly warmth to a winter wedding look. Next, a longer, floor skimming length dress will again offer warmth and hide thick tights worn underneath! Velvet maxi dresses are very on trend at the moment and look beautiful but there are plenty of other luxe winter fabrics around in rich colours or metallics.

If you do prefer mid-length or calf skimming style dresses then there are plenty of gorgeous lace, patterned tights around to modernise the look and up the glamour stakes. To keep off the winter chill, a pair of long leather gloves are a good option – very Mad Men!

Winter is also an excuse to up-the-anti on sparkle and shimmer, either with sequinned embellishment on your dress or adding dramatic jewellery – don’t worry about up staging the bride because you can get away with more sparkle when the winter nights are getting longer! To carry around your absolute essentials, the bag of choice this season is a cute little box clutch.

Boots are an excellent way to bring your winter wedding look bang up to date, toughening up a pretty look – and again, are practical in the colder weather. However, mother-of-the-brides may feel more elegant and comfortable in the plethora of lady like kitten heels and sling backs which have made a come back this season. They are much daintier and easier to wear than the towering high heels and platforms seen in previous seasons.

Whatever you do chose to wear though, don’t be afraid to dazzle!

Women for centuries seem to have always had a fascination with shoes. The fashion industry feed this well by continuously presenting ‘this season shoes’. Shoes are an integral part of any well-dressed woman’s wardrobe and on a deeper level, shoes can reflect personality. With a saturated shoe market there are thousands of shoes women can choose from, so how easy is it to choose the right pair? From stilettos to kitten heels, boots to pumps, how do you know which pair to buy? The key is to find a shoe that compliments you outfit. Work wear teamed with kitten heels or loafers is a classic look for the daytime. Sky high stilettos can take you through the night and look great with a dress or a pair of jeans.

There are shoes to suit all budgets from designer to high street. This season it’s all about boots and skyscraper heels. Classic designers have a number of collections suitable for all occasions so why not so why not bag yourself a pair of eye catching designer shoes and team them up with a simple black dress. If you prefer high street then why not shop around and find your perfect fit. There are hundreds to choose from so firstly go for comfort then pick your style. When it comes to material, always opt for leather as this breathable material will bring comfort and style in one. Make sure the shoe will fit your lifestyle as many designer shoes are made for standing rather than walking! Lastly shop online and compare prices to ensure you find a pair within your budget. Check online for discount codes to give you that extra budget and maybe team them with a matching clutch.

Designer shoes can look just as good as high street, the simple factor in determining which pair is better is simply what outfit you team them with. Always stick to key wardrobe pieces that compliment your shoes. Choose classic outfits to highlight designer shoes and team a pair of high street heels with a matching accessories to add glamour.
