Freaky or Fabulous? Sass & Bide Rats Leggings
When Alex Curran stepped out in these leggings earlier in the month I was slightly horrified. But now having taken a step back and realised that she was tackling many trends head on, I'm not quite so appalled!
They'd look best with heels (like Alex demonstrates) but maybe with a longer top or structured jacket.
Trend Alert: Bubble Trouble
Just when I thought someone magically popped the fashion bubble, we are back in bubble trouble. Designers and celebrities alike can't get enough of bubble hems. To be truthful, this is a look only a slim gal should attempt and heels lessen any negative bubbling of the body.
Fab Finding Follow-Up: Pajama-Rama
Last weekend's pajama party was overflowing with popcorn and fun. The girls and I had a blast sipping champagne as we watched teen flicks from the '80s and reminisced about the good old days. I know it sounds corny, but we even played truth or dare.
On Our Radar: Topshop Launch Premium Denim Area

If you thought that you had to go to Selfridges to get a great range of jeans, think again as Topshop opens a premium denim area. The flagship Oxford Circus store from August will stock jeans by the likes of Sass & Bide, J Brand and Dittos to name but a few.
There are also plans for capsule collections designed with some of the top denim brands for the autumn months.
Trend Alert: Ruffles and Pleats, Please
We've chatted about pleats. We've oogled over ruffles. What do you get when you combine the two textural forces?
Trend Alert: All That Glitters
All the razzle and dazzle of the Cannes Film Festival has me begging for all that glitters. Silver sparkles, in the form of beads and sequins add a cool, not costumey, feel to clothes. Although I love to play dress up too, so if you are feeling costumey — for say a glamorized Grey Gardens — look to John Galliano's Spring collection for inspiration.
Trend Alert: Printed T-shirts
I have already told you about cat print t-shirts and for Earth Day last week I showed you some of the best eco tees but when I spotted Kate Moss in this cockerel print t-shirt I couldn't resist showing you some more. There are so many great versions available and even designer versions are well under £100. You will find that the quality of cotton varies greatly but obviously the designer equivalent is the best and will hold it's shape for the longest.
Simply Fab: Sass & Bide Exclusive Tie Dye Tank Dress
Fashion is targeting breast cancer in a whole new way this time: tie dye. Sass & Bide has lent its exclusive tie dye tank dress ($170), to Net-A-Porter.com as part of the retailer's third installment of Fashion Targets Breast Cancer.
Breast cancer is a topic that hits close to home for Sass & Bide co-founder Heidi Middleton, who was diagnosed with it in February 2007.
Celebrity Style: Nicky Hilton
While big sis Paris wore next to nothing for her Vegas birthday bash, Nicky Hilton opted for a classier ensemble with her Sass & Bide bow dress. The mix of silver accessories gives the look a relaxed feel. Some girls would be intimidated by a sexily dressed sister, but Nicky seems comfortable being the cute and covered-up sibling.
New York Fashion Week, Fall 2008: Sass & Bide
Once in a while a runway show brings a smile to my face. Sass & Bide took a sad story and turned it into fruit punch with their return to the runway Fall collection. The show was dedicated to a friend of theirs who passed away from cancer.
