Celebrity style master class. How to look fat when you're not.

First up, this has nothing to do with weight and these women are certainly not fat, this is to prove that whatever weight you are, the wrong clothes, in the wrong order can conspire against the best of us. But don't worry, I am here to show you where the are the pitfalls and how to avoid them.


I actually Googled to see if Kiera Knightly was pregnant after seeing her in this dress on the Jonathan Ross Show. But no, it is all the fault of this shapeless, criminal dress.

1.  Rule number 1. Don't wear clothes that are too big and have no tailoring.

Even if you are slim, this is a no no. What ever size you are, tailoring is your friend. This dress is criminal. If one must ignore ones waist, opt for a well tailored, straight cut shift dress ( think Twiggy in the 60s). However this dress breaks all the rules of flattery , its shapeless and has a poor attempt at design through these awful curved  lines around the boobs and stomach, giving a convincing illusion of big belly and droopy boobs.



Face stunning, skirt certainly stunning- not sure in a good way, but I'll let it slide, this outfit is a combination of the typical how to look fat no no's.

Rule 2.
Let big boobs breathe.
Ladies with big boobs hear me now. Nothing makes us look bigger than covering up large ta ta's with a crew neck. it gives uni boob. You have to let those girls breathe.  A skin tight crew neck with horizontal lines is one sure way to make you look bigger than you are. 


Rule 3.
Don't get too busy. All the patterns and horizontal lines and tightness just equal an overall too busy look that is unflattering and fattening.

AW14 Lust Haves: The Jumpsuit




Jumpsuits, they are a season must have, as the icy north wind takes a preparatory deep breath, ain't no body got time for an exposed midriff. Jumpsuits provide the perfect opportunity to keep it all sealed in. And if you are really smart, you can even wear leggings underneath (if no one knows, no one cares). You can dress them up for work or down for drinks, you can wear it casual with denim, or lux with silk. They are truly a season lust have and a winter saviour. Without further babble, I present to you a few of my favourite jumpsuits from all price ranges this season.





This jumpsuit is perfect for curvy girls. The exposed shoulders is flattering, whilst the girls get a chance to steal the show with this beautiful neckline. Meanwhile the legs look elongated with this flattering wide leg. Pair with ultra high heels for maximum effect.



Go from the office to the Christmas Party in one fabulois swoop with this festive knock em dead jumpsuit from Missguided. 







This scuba jumpsuit from Asos is form fitting, flattering and fantastic.
Pair with court shoes for a flattering end to the drain pipe cut.
With its plunging neckline, this look is great for a night out in the city.



An absolute 10 on all fronts here for this lace detail jumpsuit by Whistles. 
Sleek? Check
Special details? Check
Arms covered for additional warmth? Check.

I am sold.

Simplistic chic, with this minimal jumpsuit by Alice and Olivia. I love the criss cross detail at the back. Pair with some simple silver jewellery and a belt, to bring it to all kinds of levels of fabulois.



Go for the tux effect with this Gucci satin trimmed tuxedo jump suit. Perfect for hosting a dinner party.



It's business time with this gorgeous long sleeved wrap around jumpsuit by the business power house that is Dian Von Furtenburg.

Anne Hathaway's best looks of the week

As her new film Intertellar launches, Anne Hathaway has been a busy social bee. I have been in a love affair with Hathaway since The Princess Diary, and similar to in that brilliant movie, her style transformation has gone from strength to strength over the years.  This season Anne Hathaway's style is in a classic mature phase. I love Hathaway because she is unapologetically herself, pale, brunette, lean- instead of swapping for fake tan, blonde and boobs, she embraces who she is and makes it work. The result is her style is a refreshing window into her personality- I gather she is genuine, quirky and sweet- with a dark side. If I ever meet you Hathaway, don't let me down!

Hathaway stuns in a favourite of mine: All black, red popping lips. Working with texture, is a great way to spice up a black outfit. Anne wears a silk top with a velvet skirt and adds further intrigue with sheer polkadot tights from Calzedonia.




For this day look Anne goes monochrome, again playing with texture on the black skirt she also sports this interesting wiggly hem thing. Love it.




Anne makes this simple silk gown her own by wearing subtle jewellery which just makes her look cool and laid back.  I heard a quip the other day that Anne Hathaway isn't sexy? Well take a look at this and eat your heart out. What could be more sexy than being obviously comfortable and effortlessly confident in your own skin? Thats a real style tip for all of us. Keep doing you girl.

#OOTD Stay Warm, Look Wonderful: Comfy Winter Cheats


Yesterday was a beautifully crisp Monday, after deciding that my cold had got all the rest time it deserved, I forced my self to venture outside. Obviously, seeing as I was barely fit for the land of the living, I wanted to be as comfortable (and warm) as possible, and so sought alternative ways to inject some glamour into my outfit.


The Look.
Embracing colour is a great way to look fabulous and stay warm.
Whilst colour popping is great, in order to keep it chic, it is essential to use complimenting colours in a subtle, non brash way. 

I decided to embrace the seasons trending colours by infusing my outfit with berry reds- beautiful yet understated, this colour can appear multiple times in your look without making you look overdone.
I opted for a berry coloured jumper I got from Zara, Loafers that I got from a second hand shop and a vintage fur hat that I got at a second hand shop. To tie it all in, I chose a berry coloured lipstick called Dare by Sleek. See how to get the look below.









Get the Look

Shoes:
Stroke of luck- whilst I did not get my shoes this year, or from Zara, it is amazing that Zara happen to have THE EXACT SAME ONES in stock now (lucky you) ! This season it is all about stylish flats- save your feet some trouble and go get yours!



Jumper
My jumper was from Zara last season, so here is an exciting alternative from ASOS. The collar is detachable. It really does not get more comfy than this



Jeans.

These jeans are so comfy and well fitting. Hollister is great for comfy denim, that keeps its shape. What is even better news, is that all their denim is on sale for £39. Stock up on yours now (I did!)



With fur, I only buy vintage or second hand as it is pointless getting new fur. If you would like a hat like this  it is best to buy from a vintage shop, as they have plenty great ones and it avoids more animals needlessly dying.

Lips.
What pulls it all together. Sleeks wonderful Dare lipstick. Available at SuperDrug or online:
Sleek Dare Lipstick £4.99

All my pictures were taken by the Gorgeous Anna, see us below! Check out her blog at http://princess-anna-anastasia.tumblr.com/

Rhianna launches new men's fragrance



Rihanna looked stunning this Saturday as she launched her new men's fragrance, Rogue in Atlanta GA. Whilst Rogue is her 5th fragrance, it is the first in her arsenal of sweet aromas that is aimed at men.



Whilst women launching mens fragrances is unusual, I think this will be a lucrative business venture for Rhianna, who I definatley think knows what men want.


I'm curious to smell it- it may be a great Christmas present ! ( yes I'm thinking about gifting ideas already - guys are so hard to buy for! )

Jennifer Lawrence, Vanity Fair

This upcoming issue of Vanity features one of my favourite actors, Jennifer Lawrence. Aside from her beauty, the reason I love Jennifer is that she is just so down-to-earth, candid and well, normal.

In the November Issue, not only does she look stunning in a Amazonian themed editorial, captured by Patrick Demarchelier & styled by Jessica Diehl, she also exclusively opens up for the first time about her stolen nude photo's and breech of privacy. Whatever the topic or the trial, you can count on Jennifer to be strong, funny and loveable.

My kind of girl.
