It’s very frustrating when you go shopping and there is this one item you fall in love with but unfortunately you are not a size 10 and you are not a size 12. You seem to be a size 11 and no-where out there can you get the one thing you want in a size 11!! Rubbish. The best thing to do if you really do fall in love with something is to make a decision, are you going to lose a little weight in the near future and is it stretchy enough if you don’t? Or is it just that little bit loose and will you be able to carefully style it up with a belt or some accessories so it looks right? There’s nothing worse than a too-tight dress so I would always go with the bigger option if you simply have to have it and soon, or if it is a real bargain and you know it’s going to stand the test of time buy the smaller one, you’ll get into it someday I’m sure!

When you move house, it is important to register with doctors, dentist, and opticians, and also to find out where the local curry house and chip shop is. You also need to find out where the local shoe repair place is! Seriously, I have now got to a stage where all my party shoes are in desperate need of re-heeling (there are about ten pairs that need doing) and I have nothing to wear. Do not ever think of wearing heels that need fixing, seriously, you will ruin them and have to throw them away. It is awful when you kill your own shoes because you don’t give them the love and repair they deserve.

There is nothing that spoils a lovely outfit more than badly fitting underwear. Honestly, there are so many people that wear lovely dresses but have a really obvious Visible Panty Lines (VPL’s!) or bras that show too much or are too big and wrinkle under their tops! Seriously ladies, get down to Marks and Spencer of your local independent underwear shop and get measured for some properly fitter underwear. If you can’t afford to buy it from those shops, get the measurements and go to a local high-street shop and try on loads of their bra’s until you find one that fits like the ones you were measured for! Knickers are bad too. You can get those pants that have ruffles on the back but if you‘re wearing a slinky dress, ruffles are not sexy. Pop on a thong or some big smooth pants and you’re good to go!

Since the death of Lee Alexander McQueen earlier this week, it seems everyone has cracked out their McQueen clothes and is wearing them as memorials to the great man himself. All over Facebook last night people were joining the groups RIP Alexander McQueen etc and going on about how they are digging out their boots, clothes and accessories. The amount of scull scarves I have seen over the past couple of days in Manchester and in the news is simply baffling. It just goes to show, even when something tragic happens, it’s always good for the press, which promotes awareness of brand and which encourages people to attend to the fashion element and wear the relevant garments. I bet their sales will shoot up and there will be no McQueen garments for a reasonable price on Ebay!

Have you ever found that in different shops you are different sizes?! It’s so frustrating especially when it means it makes it harder to buy gifts for other people! I have noticed that H&M have small sizes and Next and Marks and Spencer usually do large sizes. It is the same for shoes, in some shops a size five fits like a glove, in some you can’t even get your toes into them without feeling like you’ve been crippled! The best advice would be to go and try on every time, never, ever just buy straight from the rack or you’ll be walking straight back into the shop to return the goods!

My favourite style icon so far into 2010 has to be the ever so beautiful Anna Friel. Since taking the roll of Holly Golightly in Breakfast At Tiffanny’s her clothes and style has been utterly breath taking!

There is nothing i can fault about Anna’s style at the moment and i love the way she completes how look with her trademark red lipstick and nail varnish.

She looks just as stunning as the style icon herself Audrey Hepburn. There is many looks she has took on recently and rocked everyone.

My favourite so far has to be the clack and white striped dress with biker books, very good look!

Keep up the good work Anna…

One trend that seems to be on trend all year round is graphic t-shirts! What i love about graphic t-shirts is that you can either dress them down with pumps and a baggy cardigan or you make them look ultra glamorous with a pair of skinny jeans and killer heals.

I have seen loads of celebrities wearing them recently when i have been flicking through the magazines and my favourite so far has to be Beyonce.

Most shops are now selling graphic print tops but Truffle Shuffle is probably the best and i recently bought a cool one from French Connection with Blonde on it!

If you want to look cute and sexy, you can’t go far wrong with a playsuit. Playsuits are the hot item for 2009 and all the celebs have been snapped wearing them, with designers have been churning them out in their droves. The best thing about the playsuit is that it is so versatile and easy to wear. They can be cute and fun or sexy and vampish. There really are so many to choose from that you can create so many on-trend looks with them.

If it’s a fresh cute look you want, a floral print playsuit is a must have. Florals are big news this spring and a floral playsuit will give you that little bit of edge over the other styles. If you’re brave opt for a short playsuit which is either strapless or has a single strap. This will give you a cutesy hippy chick look which will be irresistible in the spring sunshine.

If you want something more daring and sexy, why not opt for a PVC playsuit teamed with silver jewellery and killer heels for a seductive nigh time look. The sailor look is also big and you can’t beat a sexy sailor playsuit to get that special guy’s heart racing and drive him wild.

Amy Adams is probably best known for playing the princess in popular Disney film ‘Enchanted’. She is living proof that even in the dizzy heights of Hollywood, less can most definitely be more. She is not showy in her style like many other Hollywood actresses seem to be, probably rightly so, but she proves that you can still look good even if you do not have the time or the inclination to go completely over the top with your outfit.

After all, what could be better than a simple little black dress for a night out? The simple flattering and familiar shape of your favourite LBD is instantly comforting and stops you feeling self conscious. It also makes you look amazing. Amy likes to inject a hint of something more into her plainer dress, often by wearing a flash of colour on her shoes . She often doesn’t wear any jewellery for an uncomplicated fuss-free but still perfect look.
