Alexa Chung Style Secrets

The question I ask myself whenever I see Alexa Chung is 'How does she make dressing up look so easy!?!' The 25-year-old TV personality and model is continuously in countless amounts of fashion and celebrity gossip magazines all of which are in awe of her erroftless style and natural beauty! Yet she insists she hates dressing up? So how does she do it, well she recently revealed in an interview that she loves vintage clothes and that shops such as 'Beyond Retro', on Great Marlborough Street, and 'Rellik', in west London are the perfect place to find stunning items of clothes that no one else has. Alexa also revealed that she likes to put a twist into what she's wearing, for example mixing a bit of H&M with Chanel, or Topshop with D&G "It manages to make quite the impression" she said. Somehow Alexa is one of those girls who can get away with wearing a black bin bag! She doesn't need tight revealing clothes to look good.
Oh Alexa how I envy you!

Demi, is that you?

Stunning 47 year old actress Demi Moore is once more involved in controversy this week over claims that her body on a magazine cover for W magazine actually belongs to 26 year old catwalk model Anja Rubik,

Experts say that there seems to be a startling similarity between Demi's photograph and photographs of Anja wearing the same corset dress on the runway in Paris a few months ago. Under close inspection experts claim that the neck, collarbone and arms are all identical to the pictures of Rubik and that Moore's head must have been superimposed onto her body along with the fact that the image has been branded as "the worst photoshop job ever" as stunned readers have claimed that Moore's left thigh and hip had almost vanished in the photo.

But Moore herself has slammed the claims via her Twitter site posting the original image on her page saying "Here is the original image people, my hips were not touched don't let these people b******* you!

All I can say is that whether or not its really you Demi, its still a fantastic looking photograph no matter what anyone says!

Fashion Blog Review

The blog in which I am reviewing is

http://hilary.com/

Hilary is a fashion magazine with a regularly updated fashion blog based on Celebrity fashion.

From what I can see there are no Credentials on the person on the page, the only information we have is that the articles are posted by ‘Maggie's Nest’.

There also isn’t many links to other sites just adverts and from what I can see she has placed a link to Youtube in a few of her posts.

The blog is very straight to the point and is not very opinionated, she doesn’t tell us about any of her beliefs or how she feels about the subject she just tells us the information we need. But from what I can see she seems honest and tells us everything we need to know about the story.

The information in each article is very accurate and complete. It is also very appropriate and easy to read as she gives you the full story in an approachable way.

I really like this blog as its design and layout is really easy to use and read, you don’t have to search for anything as all the information is there for you.

The layout is also very eye catching as she has used bright upbeat colours.
But the writhing style is very straight to the point, not much wittiness from what I can see but its not too formal either, it’s still easy to read and approachable!

From what I can see it’s a very good Celebrity Fashion site!

Heidi Klum Back to Catwalk, Six Weeks After Giving Birth!

Stunning German supermodel Heidi Klum made her first appearance on the catwalk of the 2009 Victoria's Secret show on Friday night, since giving birth just five weeks ago. Heidi managed to wow the crowd by showing of her stunning figure in a purple corset covered with a half gown covered in what looked like Roses. She emerged from the huge, castle like set to a applause from the audience.
Fellow model, Alessandra Ambrosio said “She can do it all, She’s such an inspiration”
While Victoria’s Secret president and chief marketing officer, Ed Razek said “Heidi is superwoman. She had a baby a few weeks ago and now she is hosting the most high profile fashion show in the world, were very happy to have her back”

It is great to see that Heidi is still in such great demand as only last year a top German designer and modeling agent called her “too fat” to be a supermodel, and legendary fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld dismissed her as a nobody.

Well I for one think this show proves that Heidi is far from being classed as a "nobody" in the fashion industry

Stars Dress Up for Children In Need Gig

How great did everyone look last night on Children In Need Rocks the Royal Albert Hall which aired on BBC1 at 8:00pm.
The special one off show was organised by Take That lead man Gary Barlow, who brought together the biggest names in the music industry for one night in aid of the Children In Need charity.
The Line Up included Take That, Robbie Williams, Sir Paul McCartney, Muse, Annie Lennox, Cheryl Cole, Leona Lewis, Dame Shirley Bassey, Dizzee Rascal, Lily Allen, Snow Patrol, Katherine Jenkins, Mika, James Morrison and Paolo Nutini, With special guests comedian Peter Kay, Terry Wogan, James Corden and was presented by BBC Radio1 DJ Chris Moyles
The show was opened by Take That who were then joined on stage by an emotional Robbie Williams for the first time since 1995!

I particularly loved Cheryl Cole's outfit she wore when signing her new single 'Fight for this Love' and Lily Allen wore the nicest little black dress I've seen in a long time!
Oh and just a matter of interest, did anyone else see Mark Owen from Take That's hair? It really looked amazing! Sadly I cant seem to find a picture of it anywhere but you'll just have to trust me on this!

If you missed this amazing fundraising show or just want to watch it again, please head over to BBC.com and check out their BBC iPlayer.

Supermodel Clothing Line

German born supermodel Claudia Schiffer yesterday revealed that she is planning on releasing her own clothing line, the supermodel who will be following in the footsteps of fellow models Kate Moss who has been designing for Topshop since 2007 and Yasmin LeBon who recently has been desined a clothing line for Wallis. Claudia told the IHT's Techno Luxury conference yesterday that she is planning to release her own clothing line, the model also revealed that she has not agreed to any contracts just yet but she is in the process of making her fashion dreams a reality. Claudia also said "I have no definite product in mind, but I would love to do cashmere. It's something I wear all the time myself, but I'd love to do something a bit more price-friendly. Plus a lot of cashmere lines are very classic and timeless, while I'd want to do it a bit more fashion. Or I could imagine doing handbags." We should expect to see her line on release by 2010
Well I personally will be first in line for her collection when it comes out! Claudia we cant wait!

The X factor Fashion War Continues

Yet another fantastic X factor show last night could only mean one thing....... Yet another battle of the best dressed judge. Cheryl Cole wore an amazing Richard Nicholl dress worth £1,335! (But Cheryl as always proved it was worth the money) Cheryl also accessorised her dress with a pair of beautiful gold Gina shoes, and Shaun Leane earrings and bracelet.... Oh if only we could all look as great as Cheryl!


While Dannii Minogue wore a.... lets just say interesting, Lisa Ho printed kaftan. Don't get me wrong I also thought Dannii looked amazing last night but is it just me or was her dress just a tad bit too different? Dannii completed the look with a high pair of Burgundy Yves Saint Laurent shoes and a natural looking long crimped ponytail. Like it or loathe it, she still managed to look amazing as always!
