Trend Alert: Military Coats

FabSugarUK — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 10:00:05 -0700

Military jackets have been making a comeback since last winter when Alexander McQueen and Balmain featured the style on the catwalk. The trend is back for Autumn and bigger than ever as pieces appear on the High Street channeling the look.

Coats is a key way to indulge in this style and make a statement. The outerwear is usually long (perfect for crisp Winter days), double breasted and with brass buttons. Sonia Rykiel added her own funky touch to this jacket (£445) with a shot of bright colour. I also like the structured approach of All Saints' Batilka coat (£250).

Sonia by Sonia Rykiel Double-breasted military coat - £445.00	Batilka Coat - £250.00
Marching Band Coat - £125.00	Military Double Breasted Jacket - £80.00
WUNDERKIND - Textured wool military coat - £2,529.00	French Connection Military Coat - £150.00
Marc by Marc Jacobs Wool-blend military coat - £535.00

Trend Alert: Skull Print Top

FabSugarUK — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 10:00:08 -0700

Alexander McQueen has been including skulls in clothing for a long time. His printed scarves are adored by celebrities and mere mortals alike and this season he has moved on to t-shirts which Cheryl Cole is already a fan of.

He's not the only one to use the macabre image, the High Street have also taken on the trend as skull print t-shirts add a rock chic look to your casual wardrobe. New Look have an illustrated tee (£16) which you could wear with dark denim shorts on a warm day. Topshop have a bright coloured version (£18) which would be great for hitting the dancefloor.

On Our Radar: All Saints Launches Swimwear

FabSugarUK — Tue, 12 May 2009 10:00:59 -0700

For me, All Saints has always been a High Street store with a rock'n'roll edge. It creates funky, slightly grungy pieces like parachute dresses, denim, and printed tees at an affordable price. Well, now the store has lent its designing skills to swimwear to make quite edgy pieces to be seen in on the beach this Summer!

Much of the collection draws from a monochrome palette with tie-dye patterns, blurred prints, and chain applique. There are one pieces and triangle bikinis which would look very stylish in warmer climates. Nearly all of the items are attention grabbing, and thus not for the faint hearted! I like the Ino swimsuit (£55) and the Orion bikini (£25), do you like the collection?

Celebrity Style: Sienna Miller

FabSugarUK — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 01:00:18 -0700

Sienna Miller returned to her classic boho style last night for the First Light Movie Awards at London's Leicester Square. She attended the event in a dark floral All Saints dress with a cropped biker-esque jacket and suede boots. She wore her hair down and wavy with natural makeup. Sienna slipped up slightly as one of her bright green socks is just visible inside her ankle boot, although maybe it was a nod to St Patrick's Day! Copy the look below.

Nicole Shares Puppy Love With Melanie

PopSugarUK — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 06:00:00 -0700

Having celebrated Liam's birthday in Italy at the weekend, Nicole Appleton has now welcomed a new arrival in to her family: this adorable six week old dachshund called Ruby. Love. Her. I'm a big fan of seeing celebrities with their pets, and it looks like Nicole's former All Saints bandmate Melanie Blatt is besotted with the new addition to the Appleton-Gallagher family too. I can't decide which newly-purchased pup I prefer: Ruby, or Big Brother 9 Rebecca and Luke's puppy Vegas. Decisions, decisions.

Trend Alert: Tulip Skirt

FabSugarUK — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 09:00:47 -0700

As we see the return of separates in the fashion world this trend merges with the architectural vibe to create the tulip skirt. Pencil skirts are a wardrobe essential but tulip skirts make the look a bit edgier and are often more flattering. They feature exaggerated detail on the hips which hides a multitude of sins! The only downside is that they can be quite tight around the knees and calves leading to you walking in a strange manner! They appeared on the catwalk most notably at Lanvin but also at Paul Smith and Roland Mouret. Try Miss Selfridge or Warehouse on the High Street.

Thread Skirt - £68.51	Yoni Skirt - £80.00
Flannel Tulip Skirt - £40.00	Black Twill Tulip Pleat Skirt - £30.00
Lanvin Satin tulip skirt - £705.00	Paul Smith Black Label Black Label Dog Toothe Check Tulip Skirt - £175.19

Liam and Nicole Wed In Secret

PopSugarUK — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 12:05:45 -0800

Liam Gallagher and Nicole Appleton got married on Valentine's Day in a secret ceremony at London's Westminster Register Office. Maybe Liam's got a loyalty card there, as he married Patsy Kensit at the same venue back in 1997. Although I find that a little weird, I do have to say good on Nicole for finally getting the notorious bad boy down the aisle, since she's been speaking about her desire to get married for a while now. She's also had high profile relationships in the past - most notably with Robbie Williams - but the newlywed couple have seemed pretty solid over the last eight years so congrats to them. Although Noel wasn't at the ceremony I imagine they partied hard into the night ... still got that rock star rep to protect, right?
