Forever Young

Selena Gomez rocks Gucci on the cover of Elle Mexico; the magazine features images of Selena styled in a much more mature look. Perhaps an indication of what to expect as she makes the transition from her younger fan base. Outside of Elle it is difficult to fault anything she wears, her style is truly underrated.

Rumour has it that Miss Gomez is to play Charlotte in the Sex and the City prequel. What do you think? Is there a bit of Charlotte in Selena? And who should play the coveted role of the young Miss Bradshaw?



RIP Amy - a look at her signature style

The Bouffant Hair, winged eyeliner, ballet flats, micro mini's, and vintage inspired dresses - Amy Winehouse left behind more than a musical legacy, she left us with a legacy of unique, signature style. "She is a beautiful, gifted artist. And I very much like her hairdo. I took it as an inspiration." Karl Lagerfeld said after models at his 2007 London Fashion Week show were seen in Amy inspired hair and clothing.

Candice Swanepoel for Versace Eyewear

Candice Swanepoel's resume is enormously impressive by South African standards, in face it is enormously impressive by international standards. Few models can boast being the face of Victoria Secret, Tom Ford and Versace simultaneously. Beaming with pride - love the military inspired collar almost as much as the specs.

It's hard for Miss Watson to top the first lace LBD she wore in November last year but we do love this one she wore at the Harry Potter photo call in London. Oh and love the hair too.

Shop Hallelu

We are in the thick of winter; as much as we love scarves, camel boots, leather jackets, oversized jerseys, and hot chocolate life is gloomy, miserable and uncomfortable. Need some summer loving? (it is only 2 months away) go visit the Hallelu online boutique "In true boutique style, we only stock limited quantities and once a must have item is gone, it's gone! So, like our store, if you see something you like, act fast!" Beautiful website, beautiful clothing.

Chanel Fall 2011

Karl Lagerfeld unveiled his latest collection for Chanel at one of the most highly anticipated shows of Paris Couture Week.

Fucshia, over-sized buttons, sequence and midnight blue were also predominant in a show that stole my heart. OBSESSED.
