The spring runways were truly inspiring for me, which is why I’m planning on really stepping outside of my comfort zone this season. My plan of action is simple: I will embrace bright colors and incorporate a few subtly ladylike pieces into my wardrobe. If you look in my closet right now, you’ll find loads of neutrals—black, white, gray, and navy, to be specific—so I’m going to liven things up with vibrant bracelets, bright red pants, and bold lingerie. Of course, I’m not going to wear all of these things at the same time (that would be a bit much for me), but I will mimic the minimalist approach to color seen at the Celine, Fendi, and Jil Sander shows.

They came with a square edge and a rounded edge so you can select the best fit. The end result? My toes Read more…

                                                            Left to right: Liam, Louis, Harry, Zayn, Niall

Since coming third in last year’s X-Factor competition One Direction have been lying low.

But with behind the scenes training Harry, Liam, Niall, Zayn, and Louis are now primed for a chart takeover.

And in spite of not yet having released an album, or indeed a single, a One Direction autobiography comes out today, entitled Forever Young.  Given their age, and lack of biography to speak of, it seems an appropriate, if somewhat ambitious, title.

The boys will be out in force, and armed with ink, signing fan copies of Forever Young up and down the country.

That’s certainly one way to keep their army of fans enthused. And with their debut single imminent, we expect an onslaught of

We have a longstanding love affair with British trendsetters, having catalogued the wardrobes of ladies like Alexa Chung, Daisy Lowe, and the Sisters Geldof for ages. And while we truly adore all of our UK-based style mavens, today we need to pay homage to the newest member of that club: Fearne Cotton. We clearly swoon for her personal style—it seems like she’s in all of our stories as of late—because she consistently gets it right with her thoughtfully mixed, on-trend looks. It’ Read more…
