Prince William and Kate Middleton get engaged

2010-11-18T18:54:00.011Z

Will it be Westminster Abbey or St Paul's Cathedral for Prince William and Kate Middleton's Royal wedding next Spring/Summer?

But what we're really interested to know is what will Kate's wedding dress look like! She faces one of the biggest fashion decisions of her life as she'll surely feel pressure to choose an English designer?

Miss Middleton's dress could define bridal wear for the next decade, much as Princess Diana's 1981 wedding dress became the most-copied wedding dress in history!

Now we know William proposed with Diana's engagement ring *goosebumps* but will she go big, frilly and flouncy like Diana's Elizabeth Emanuel dress, I don't think so... I see Kate in a sleeker, more elegant silhouette, what do you think?

The whole story of an ordinary girl-next-door (who just so happens to be sublimely stunning) marrying a Prince never ceases to enchant me, just think ladies, we could bag ourselves a Royal hubby too...keep dreaming right!

Fancy dressing like a Royal? We may not have the chance to be the future Queen of England but we can certainly dress like one...

You can buy Kate's EXACT same dress by ISSA in blue!

Big Brother 11 Launch night - Ife Kuku dances for Cheryl Cole...

2010-06-11T15:40:00.006+01:00

Ife Kuku (pronounced Iffy) was another fashionista who caught my eye going into the Big Brother house Wednesday night…

The 25-year-old from Milton Keynes has already had a taste of fame as a one of Cheryl Cole’s backing dancers and dreams of singing stardom, we wonder if we’ll get a preview in the house of the album she admits to be working on…

This is clearly a lady who cares about her appearance as she’s commented that she once stayed indoors for 10 days because she couldn’t draw her eyebrows on correctly!!!

I thought she looked super chic in all black (a la Davina) for the opening night. Her black mini dress with sheer V-shaped panel showed-off her cracking dancers bod! I loved her peep-toe buckle boots aswell, very on trend!

Not too sure about the wrist cuffs though… perhaps more market stall than red carpet?

Big Brother Housemates 2010 - Rachael White (aka Beyonce) get her EXACT SAME dress on ebay >

2010-06-11T12:31:00.011+01:00

So Wednesday night saw the launch of the final Big Brother 2010, and it was certainly a feast for our eyes in terms of wannabe fashionistas…

I had to look twice when I saw Rachael White enter the house, with her tumbling golden tresses, bootilicious derriere and Hollywood smile; it was hard not to mistake her for singing sensation Beyonce!

The 23-year-old from Nottingham works a Beyonce look-a-like, no surprise there then, and spends all her time looking in the mirror… well there certainly won’t be a lack of those in the BB house!

She’s certainly no stranger to the limelight and strutting her stuff wearing next to nothing (much like the real Beyonce) as she parading around the house in her bright pink undies on the first night!

On the opening night, Rachael gave a nod to the pastels trend, wearing a pale pink ruffle mini dress and powder blue heels accessorising with ethnic –inspired bangles, we heart this look!

Fashion icon Isabella Blow's legendary designer wardrobe will be up for auction at Christie’s later this year...

2010-05-11T11:07:00.009+01:00

Caring actress Carey Mulligan has donated her designer BAFTA’s gown to Oxfam… Mulligan wore the head-turning dress as she collected her best actress prize at the Baftas in February for her lead role in An Education.

The black and white dress, made especially for the Oscar-nominated teenage star by French label Vionnet, has now been donated to Oxfam.

"I'm honored to be able to donate my Bafta dress to support Oxfam's work helping women living in extreme poverty across the world," Mulligan said.

Other stars that have raided their wardrobes for the charity include Elle Macpherson and Alexa Chung!

The Vionnet dress will have a starting bid of £50 and will be auctioned alongside the other celeb items from 10am onwards on Thursday 13th May at www.oxfam.org.uk/curiosityshop. >

If you want to catch a glimpse of these outfits in the flesh, they will be on display in Selfridge’s department store at a pop-up Oxfam store open for a week; staffed by high-profile figures such as Annie Lennox!

Thousands of vintage, high-end and celebrity-donated items, will be sold at the shop located in the 'Ultralounge' area of the store. It’s well worth a look if you can get down there!

Image 2 - Eva Longoria, THE SPRING BLAZER
Image 3 - Ciara, TRIBAL
Image 4 - Dita Von Tesse, RUFFLES

Here's LotsWithStyle's low down of Spring/Summer's hottest trends >

White is the perfect shade for Spring/Summer, this trend is fresh, crisp and elegant and looks fab with the all important summer tan which 90210 starlett AnnaLynn McCord has certainly achieved in the hot LA sun…

This season don’t be limited to white jeans or a white tee, branch out into footwear, blazers and hair accessories to nail the white trend and bring it into 2010.

The Spring blazer is great when it’s not warm enough to bare all but mild enough not to need your heavy winter coat and scarf, it’s the perfect transitional jacket!

Team your blazer with skinny jeans and a tee like Eva Longoria for an effortlessly chic Spring/Summer wardrobe. The harsh lines of a tailored blazer also work well with feminine floral tea dresses.

Tribal is back, season after season this trend comes stampeding back with safari style and animal print being huge for 2010. Have fun with this trend by clashing different prints, yes that’s right, it’s no longer a faux pas its fashion! Or keep it subtle like Ciara with just hints of the ethnic print…

Ruffles are a reoccurring trend and never really go out of style. They are best worn with minimal jewelry to show off the ruffles to the max. Dita Von Tesse works chic ruffles elegantly with a chic cream and black polka dot silk dress.

2010-04-21T17:01:00.012+01:00

Celebs love a good old charity auction, so they turned up in their droves for The Silver Rose Gala and Auction at the Beverly Hills hotel, which celebrated its 30th anniversary this year.

A certain Miss Halle Berry stole the night in a striking slit, side collar Gucci dress, teamed with taupe Christian Louboutin Biancia pumps it was a sure-fire winning combo… By the expression on Jamie Fox’s face he certainly approved!

Leona Lewis and Alicia Keys were also on the VIP guest list for this auction. R&B star Alicia Keys performed at the Gala and looked sexy in an all-black leather LBD and metallic Louboutins whilst Leona opted for an all-in-one harem pants combo and black peep-toes.

This Gala, that Halle attends every year, helps raise funds to support the efforts of critical programs and services for families affected by domestic violence.

CHANEL HANDBAGS STOLEN IN SMASH AND GRAB RAID - DON'T BREAK THE LAW TO GET YOUR HANDS ON A CHANEL BAG THIS SEASON...

2010-04-20T18:12:00.008+01:00

If you’re desperate to get your hands on every celebs must-have piece of arm candy, a Chanel handbag, then don’t go to the extremes that a gang of raiders went to in a smash and grab raid on Knightsbridge’s Chanel store…

Tens of thousands of pounds worth of Chanel bags were stolen in the early hours of the morning by four masked men who smashed the glass door before making off the designer bags.

We wonder if they had demanding wives who just had to have the latest Chanel clutch…?

There seems to be a rise in smash and grabs on luxury goods stores in London of late. Raiders have also targeted Dolce & Gabbana and Tiffany and Co, well; at least the robbers have taste!

Many die hard fashionistas would risk a stretch behind bars to get their hands on the latest must-have designer tote, but keep your criminal record clear by browsing eBay for some great bargainista buys.

Pearl’s new spring collection is a celebration of the English countryside, seeking inspiration from blossoms, summer picnics and her family life in Somerset, how very idyllic!

The range is set to launch in selected Peacocks’ stores 13th May 2010, with prices starting of approx £40 for a vintage inspired floral tea dress.

If you can’t wait that long to grab yourself a piece of the English countryside in the form of a floral frock, then check out the below eBay tea dress up for auction >

ANNIE LENNOX OPENS UP OXFAM CHARITY SHOP INSIDE SELFRIDGES LONDON!

2010-04-15T12:37:00.002+01:00

Scottish singer Annie Lennox has launched a celebrity charity store in London! Yes, I thought I might have your attention now…

The 55 year-old singer has landed a deal with Oxfam to open the shop in department store Selfridges, we could hardly believe it!

The Selfridges based Oxfam store will sell clothes, accessories and general celeb-tastic items that will all be donated by Hollywood’s hottest.

The funds raised will fund the women projects of Oxfam I countries such as Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka.

"More than two thirds of the world's poorest people are women, yet they struggle to be heard. We saw an opportunity to bring together influential women with valuable skills and contacts to try and make a difference to their lives," says Jane Shepherdson, boss of fashion brand Whistles, who is helping launch the project.

We think this store is definitely worth a visit, who knows what you might rummage and find… vintage Mulberry, Chanel clutch, Jimmy Choos all for 10p! … We can only dream!

KEIRA KNIGHTLEY AND KATE MOSS PHOTOGRAPHS BEING AUCTIONED OFF...

2010-04-15T12:20:00.003+01:00

TODAY Christie’s London will be auctioning off some celeb-tastic photographs…

Images of Keira Knightley and Kate Moss will be going under the hammer to raise money for a homeless charity, Crisis.

There is a photograph of The Pirates of the Caribbean actress in Kenya in 2007 and a picture of supermodel Kate Moss wearing a torn veil in Marrakech in 1993.

This Christie’s sale is titled ‘A Positive View’ and will see work by legendary photographers including Mario Testino and Rankin!

Prince William, who is a patron of Crisis, will launch the auction and also includes a photograph of the timeless Audrey Hepburn.

We wonder if he’ll attend the auction of his mothers iconic black taffeta gown…

PRINCESS DIANA'S DRESS WORN ON HER FIRST EVER PUBLIC APPEARANCE IS UP FOR AUCTION!

2010-04-13T15:31:00.007+01:00

The dress worn by Princess Diana on her first official royal outing in 1981

If you’re a Royal fashion fan then listen up… The low-cut black taffeta gown that sent Princess Diana soaring in the style stakes is going under the hammer!

This revealing number worn by Princess Diana earned her the title of ‘Daring Di’ and will soon be the lucky possession of a wealthy bidder as the gown is rumoured to fetch in excess of £50,000!

We wonder if Camilla will put in a bid…

Lady Diana was only 19 when she made her first official appearance in this dres s with Prince Charles back in 1981. The dramatic taffeta ensemble made sure no-one would forget it.

The bride-to-be was clearly as fond of the dress as when she lost too much weight to wear it again, she sent it back for alterations. Rather than taking it in, the designers remade the frock (nice for some!) and forgot all about the original. Until now…

The dress was uncovered in a wardrobe at the studio of dress makers David and Elizabeth Emanuel and is now set to go under the hammer at Kerry Taylor Auctions on June 8th.

Other items up for sale include a chiffon blouse she wore to her engagement portrait, original sketches of her wedding dress and its final calico toile – the 30 lots are expected to make a six-figure sum.

SAMANTHA CAMERON AND SARAH BROWN HAVE A CAMPAIGN OF THEIR OWN GOING - WHO GETS YOUR VOTE IN THE STYLE STAKES?

2010-04-12T13:27:00.011+01:00

With Gordon Brown and David Cameron going head to head in the current political campaign trail, here at LWS we can’t seem to ignore the fact that it seems their better halves are having a battle of their own…

In the blue corner we have Samantha Cameron and in the red corner we have Sarah Brown, forget the economy, taxes and the NHS, this is a war of wardrobes!

I must say that I think Sam Cam is striding ahead in the style stakes (hence why I haven’t bothered posting pictures of Mrs Brown’s cardy and knee length skirt combos!).

I love Samantha’s use of simple tailored basics and her chic relaxed Converse style on her days off from being the UK’s political fashionista.

I think Sarah Brown should be taking tips off celeb pal Naomi Campbell when it comes to standing out on the fashion front…

What do you think of Samantha and Sarah’s style? Have your say below…

Cheryl's recent relaxed LA style

It didn’t come as much shock that the nation’s sweetheart Cheryl Cole came 1st in Glamour.com’s Best Dressed awards this year…

She piped fellow X Factor judge Dannii Minogue to the post. The new mum was a new entry, coming in a respectable 6th place having wowed us with her elegant yet striking pieces and chic vintage pieces.

Chezza, however was a non mover this year, taking the title in 2009 aswell, there’s just no beating this lady whose style has created as many headlines as her turbulent relationship!

This year Cheryl has really upped the ante by showcasing some home-grown British talent such as shoe-god Rupert Sanderson and the late Alexander McQueen.

EMMA BUNTON WANTS TO LAUNCH HER OWN CHILDREN'S CLOTHING LINE AND DESIGN HER OWN JEWELLERY...

2010-04-03T15:47:00.004+01:00

It seems Victoria Beckham’s success when it comes to her popular fashion line is giving fellow Spice Girl Emma Bunton a few ideas of her own…

"I am so, so proud of Victoria. She has always been so into fashion. I think she's pushed boundaries by going from music to designing," she told New!.

The Dancing on Ice judge is hoping to launch her own children’s fashion range and has admitted that she sometimes wears her own jewellery when judging on Dancing On Ice (we love her bling neck choker in pic above).

"I'd love to do more design. I've been designing some bits of jewellery that I've worn on Dancing On Ice. I'd love to do a kids' line. My friend and I get together and I kind of say what I want, then she makes it up. It's been great."

We love Emma’s super-stylish sense of fashion and think she’d be great bringing out a women’s clothing range, perhaps she’s worried about stepping on Victoria’s toes!

A VINTAGE HANDBAG FIT FOR LADY GAGA HERSELF!

2010-04-02T22:03:00.007+01:00

It just goes to show that even a relaxing Easter weekend in Norfolk can come up trumps when it comes to an Auctionistas fave past time… browsing some vintage fashion goodies of course!

A drive out to the International Antiques Fair at Norwich showground uncovered some real treats for any fashionistas palette, whether it be chic vintage brooches or stylish Vogue prints, I was like a kid in a sweet shop.

My fave items had to be some quirky red and black patent telephone handbags (see image above). As soon as I saw these phone bags I thought LADY GAGA!

As we all know Miss Gaga is never one to shy away from an outrageous outfit or two, and these bags would have been a perfect match for her Telephone themed outfit worn on Jonathan Ross (see image above).

I personally preferred the sweet 40s clutches underneath for everyday wear, I’m not sure I could find an occasion to wear a bright red telephone tote, but I’m sure Gaga could!

EBAY OFFICIALLY LAUNCH THEIR 'FASHION VAULT' - STARTING WITH 60% OFF FRENCH CONNECTION!

2010-03-31T22:47:00.006+01:00

All you Auctionistas will know that eBay is a goldmine for sourcing one-off vintage pieces, or a coveted designer treat... So when we heard eBay were launching a ‘Fashion Vault’ our ears obviously pricked!

Ebay are now making it even easier for fashion hungry bargain hunters to bag themselves a designer steal, without the fear of buying fake goods (no one wants a pair of Jiminy Choo’s or a Prado clutch!).

The Fashion Vault is eBay’s entry into the world of designer fashion, working with trusted sellers and designers to acquire high end pieces then putting them up for sale in bulk.

What’s more, there’s no need to get caught up in eBay’s notorious bidding wars over the last pair of nude Louboutins, as every item is ‘Buy It Now,’ meaning exactly what it says on the tin… once you see something you like it’s yours, plus there’s free shipping too!

Right now eBay’s Fashion Vault is offering 60% of some Fabulous French Connection items, here at LWS our fave has to be the ‘Knit Georgia Jersey Dress’ reduced from $168 (£110 approx) to $67.20 (£44 approx).

We recommend signing up for email alerts so you’ll be the first to know what sales are coming up next. There’s so many ways to save, there goes this month’s rent!

THE CITY STARLETT WHITNEY PORT IS SUED BY A FELLOW FASHION DESIGNER - GET HER CHIC FASHION FAUX PAS LOOK ON EBAY >

2010-03-30T16:42:00.010+01:00

Just when you thought the City starlett Whitney Port couldn’t put a foot wrong, she goes and gets herself sued by a fellow fashion designer, the worst kind!

Whitney joined forces with designer Adrienne Baravetto in 2007 to launch the clothing line Eve & A with Baravetto claiming she did ALL the design work and was promised a £53,000 yearly salary and 25% stake in the company…

She is yet to be reimbursed, tutt tutt Miss Whitney!

However, as we know, there are always two sides to every story with Port’s lawyers stating “Whitney Port is, and always has been, the designer of Whitney Eve,” well that’s that then.

In our eyes Miss Port can rarely put a fashion foot wrong and we loved her latest ensemble of mixing controversial stripes and animal print, somehow, this Californian beauty can get away with! (We could see Alexa Chung working this look too)

*WARNING! wear this look carefully to avoid looking like Pat Butcher!
