Kylie Jenner And Her Fendi Monster

Kylie Jenner is one of favourite style icons. This girl has got everything going on, what with the mermaid blue hair, gorgeous nail art and let's not even get started on those lips...again!

What we love most about Kylie, is her ever-changing style and how she just seems to carry it all of perfectly. She's not afraid to experiment with fashion and colour and is definitely keeping us on our toes with the latest trends.

Of course we love to see what arm candy Kylie is carrying, you can always guarantee the latest hot tote will be swinging on the crook of her arm. But what we've noticed recently, is how much Kylie loves her Fendi furry monster.

Not sure what we're talking about? Well, some time ago, Fendi introduced a key chain which looks like a furry face monster and they're available in some amazing colours and actually look really sweet. As well as using the little beast as a key ring, Kylie like to attach hers to her favourite handbag and we think they're lush.

Now, you won't be surprised to hear that there is a hefty price tag on these little beauties, but after all they are Fendi...what do you expect? But never fear, we have some amazing furry key charms that will add a splash of colour to any bag, clutch, purse or keys! Ours are available as a plain furry ball in vibrant yellow, coral and red. Check out our furry pom poms here which look amazing attached to some of our new arrival handbags!

Princess Charlotte's Christening

It's been a while since any of us have clapped eyes on the new royal baby, princess Charlotte. She's been kept well out of the spotlight with brother George until last weekend, when we were given full on view and endless pics of the  adorable pair at her Christening.

Kate and William walked to the Sandringham church and the streets were lined with thousands of well wishers all waiting to get a glimpse of the beautiful family. George looked happy and sweet, dressed in a charming cream shirt and matching red shorts. The outfit mirrored Williams, worn back in 1984, when he first met Harry. Kate looked chic as ever, wearing a strikingly similar outfit to the one she wore for George's christening as pictured below.

For Princess Charlotte's christening, she opted for the same colour scheme and accessories and as ever, looked absolutely stunning. 

As for baby Charlotte, tradition took precedence. Wearing the same christening gown that had been passed down through the generations and worn by royal babies before her and the vintage pram she travelled to the church in, was the very same one the Queen had used for her children.

Wimbledon Fashion 2015

So Wimbledon is well and truly underway and we have to say, that whilst we love the tennis (obvs) we've got our eye on the celebs and fashion.

Wimbledon is known for it's customary traditions, such as eating strawberries and cream and the strict white clothing rule for competitors. These traditions, amongst many others all contribute to making Wimbledon the oldest, most prestigious tournament loved all over the world.

So, who have we seen so far? And more importantly, what are they wearing and what arm candy are they carrying!!

First up is Millie Mackintosh looking gorgeous and summery in a light ruffle printed dress, teamed with a Chanel bag. You can steal the bag style with our Ava bag and guess what?....we've just added it to the sale!! 

We have to say we are absolutely loving Jodie Kidd's look here. This gorgeous blue mix skater dress, gives a smart casual understated look teamed with the tan flats, shades and monochrome bag with a hint of neon! Check out our Phoenix bag for another style steal and the Pom Poms too!

We can't wait to see who'll be at Centre Court finals!

Finishing Touches - It's All In The Detail!

No matter what the special occasion, or night out on the town, us ladies love to plan our outfits....FACT!

And it's not just our outfits either! we plan every last detail including hair, make-up, spray tans and nails!

But, planning for a night out, whilst exciting, can leave us full on stressed up to the eyeballs. Why do we get ourselves like this? it's meant to be something really fab to look forward to, yet in the blink of a mascara wand, if we can't find anything to wear or our winged eyeliner isn't right, we can turn into stroppy little divas!

So let's take a step back and ease some of the drama! We've got some top tips on creating the perfect stress free look, whilst creating uber class and style!

1.  Shopping for a new outfit? Then buy ONE! not two, or a few dresses, because they were half price in the sale! Last thing you need, is all three laid out on the bed at 7.30pm with the taxi beeping outside and you're still doing eenie, meenie, miney, moe! Decide on the outfit at least the day before, and all the accessories and finishing touches must work around that!

2. Never tan in a rush! We've all done it, slapped it on with 5 minutes to spare and the playsuit you've been dying to wear now looks ridiculous teamed with patchy, flaky legs and let's not even mention the knees! In our experience, it's best to tan the night before and spend time exfoliating and moisturising the rough patches on knees, elbows and backs of the hands. 

3. Plan your hair and make-up and stick to it. Oh and don't try anything too risky, whilst in 'getting ready mode'! Remember Bridget Jones ironing her hair out on the ironing board...it's disaster with a capital D! No, in our opinion, whether, it's an up do, curly or straight, stick to a hairstyle you've done a million times before, or at least you've practised beforehand.

When it comes to make-up, this is a tricky one. You've seen that vid on youtube, you know the one, that top beauty blogger doing her amazing winged liner and smokey eye and think to yourself...i'll do that at the weekend! 

Uh...oh...you're now staring at your reflection in horror, wondering why you look like a panda. When will we ever learn? These beauty bloggers have probably recorded this vid like 20 times before they uploaded the perfect one. By all means try a new lipstick or shadow, but probably best to go with the application of what you know. 

Check out Amrezy and Hudabeauty on Instagram. Both of these gorgeous gals offer some amazing beauty and make-up tips. We guarantee you'll take inspo from their pics and vids! 

4. Acessorise...accessorise! Top tip with your accessories, is try to get them matching up as best as you can or you could end up looking like a Christmas tree. Too much can be a distraction and you want everything to compliment each other. For example if your wearing a heavy embellished dress with gems and sequins, then go for a simple, elegant clutch bag and shoes. Or if you're wearing a multi coloured floral jumpsuit, pick out a prominent colour in the garment and choose that colour in a clutch bag and shoes. Simple really, when you think about it!

Finally, let's not forget about those talons! A big NO NO is chipped nail polish girls. Don't go to all the trouble of looking reem, then spoil it with grubby nails. Book yourself in for a Shellac and Minx a couple of days before and your good to go!

Kylie Comes Clean!

Finally, the youngest Jenner has come clean...about that bee sting pout! 

Of course we already knew her secret and not that she had to tell. But we never believed for a minute she'd used some amazing lip pencil or plumping cream. Why? Because us gals would be on it like a hot potato, and the miracle beauty product would have cleared the shelves faster than you can say Kardashian Jenner!  

To be honest, we think Kylie is beautiful and looks absolutely amazing. Everyone has their own insecurities and everyone deserves to be happy with the way they look and how they feel about themselves. If Kylie or anyone chooses to have cosmetic surgery then we shouldn't judge.

But on the other side of the coin, many of us would love these procedures but can't afford the costs. So we want to know your favourite lotions, potions and plumpers!

One of our all time favourites is the Soap & Glory XL Extreme Plump

Mums With Style!

Aww! How adorable is the new princess, Charlotte Elizabeth Diana? And how amazing did Kate look emerging from the Lindo Wing a mere 10 hours after giving birth! Most of us Mums will know the struggle to even get dressed within the first week of a new born, let alone looking like we've just stepped out of a salon on the same day! 

Yes, we know Kate's personal hairdresser and stylist arrived, but still, Kate Middleton is super stylish and extremely classy and is what we call a...Mum with Style! 

Mums with style just seem to make it look so easy! How are they even so organised for a start? Most mums will agree that getting out of the door on a morning is more of a challenge than running the London Marathon! 

But let's give credit where it's due, after all if they can raise a family, hold down jobs and still look like a yummy mummy...well good on em', who says style should go out the door just because your a Mum. And, it's not all about the latest designer handbag or dress either, it's about maintaining sartorial brilliance.

Our favourite celeb Mums have nailed it, take Heidi Klum for instance. Heidi teams simple black capri trousers with a black vest and heels, how chic does this look? add the customary dark shades and we have to say we're pretty impressed.

Our next favourite look is a little more boho, and we're taking this style inspo from Jessica Alba. After all the weather is getting warmer and who doesn't love a maxi dress?

This garm has got to be one of the easiest things to wear. Style it up or down for day or night, but we are loving Jessicas look with the denim biker and tan flats.
