Nat. Bass ♥

She's been on "Neighbours" and "So you think you can dance" but I became a fan of her when she joined the "Rogue Traders" (ONE OF THE BEST BANDS EVER). Sadly she's left but Nat Bass. still has her style and she's still friends with James Ash, who's quite the DJ. Sequins, lycra, policeman caps, it gave her 'that' edge in The Rogue Traders and with her new album out (1000 stars. very good album) she's wearing floating dresses and sky high heels, which makes her a little sexy minx. She's in tune with fashion but not afraid to break the boundaries.

Sienna Miller

Below is a slideshow of her everchanging style. It's a mixture of tailored pieces with faux fur, opaque stockings, stripes, eyeliner and boho boots. She is fabulous.

Style Icon: Taylor Swift

She's brought us songs like 'Love Story' about people who live in a world mirrored on Shakespeare. She's a happy, smiling, young woman who has brought back crimped hair and soft goth. She may only be 19 but when it comes to style she's got it covered. Gracing the red carpet in frocks that would make a rich princess envious and hiting up interviews in black gloves and hollywood waves she's thrown the media into a country girl frenzy and yet she's not your typical cow girl. She's transformed the image from Flannel shirts and gum boots to LBDs and floor sweeping gowns. Ever thought Gothic Country couldn't be feminine? Think again.

Shop Like a Star

So none of us have the never-ending hollywood budgets, the figures or the stylists of some of the world's most famous fashionistas, notably Nicole Ritchie, Kate Moss, Kate Hudson, Sienna Miller and Paris Hilton (just to name a few), but we can still shop like a star and its easy to do.


Grab an honest friend (your BFF) who will be harsh and honest. Someone who can tell you your bum looks big without making you want to slap them and is able to find pieces that work for you that you wouldn't normally try. Your sister is a good one to try or your mum, if she has style of course.


Wear something that will not help you in the dressing rooms, like high heels, a huge handbag, a dress when you're looking for a top (problem when you want to walk out of change room to show someone). It adds a little thrill to the shopping trip and a good story. Ever gone shopping for a cocktail dress with a bright pink thong and no bra? Oh and if none of this works for you simply do like Nicole Ritchie and don't try anything on before you buy.


Preoccupy yourself with other things. Try to tackle many tasks at one time. Mischa Barton always has her blackberry and Blake Lively loves her coffee. If it's too much of a hassle flicking through racks while on the phone get your assistant (BFF) to hold the phone or coffee while your flicking.


Know what your favourite brands are? No? Pick them now! Know your size in pants, skirts, jackets, tanks and blouses at these stores. Write them down somewhere. This will make it easier to find the right size and leave you with more time for other things. Also get to know your sales assistants at these stores. They can tell you what stock is coming in and if they know you they're more likely to tell you the truth about how you REALLY look in those highwaisted cuff shorts. CRINGE!


Finally, when you get home do a fashion show. Make everyone in your house notice that you have new clothes. Pair them up and take photos so it's easy to make outfits with them later on. Add mickey mouse ears, etc, for fun.

Clone Wardrobe: Kate Hudson

What is it with the name Kate?
It has given birth to so many style icons, like Kate Moss, Kate Bosworth and Kate Hudson. If all Kates end up with this privledge I'll just have to name my daughter Kate so I can get advice on a daily basis.

Kate Hudson has got to be one of the most gorgeous women in film of her generation. She's blonde, quirky, slim and has a killer fashion sense even if it's her stylist doing all the work. To pick up on what Hudson has going on there are three critical rules. They are the following...



Don't be afraid to show a LITTLE skin, but don't forget to leave particularly body parts to the imagination and know what suits you. If you have a pear figure show off your shoulders and if you have long legs focus on them.



White is your friend but when using Hudson's signature shade don't forget to break the colour up with a different coloured belt, heels or a black skirt. White blouse, black pants will work everytime.



Incorporate the latest trends into your wardrobe by mixing and matching them with your own favourite pieces. Mix a faux fur crop with your favourite jeans and tshirt or add a lace tank to your favourite skirt and heels.

Kate Moss - perfection with being perfect

For the past decade there has been one model who has shamelessly broken all the rules; choosing tie dye when the fashion industry was focused on leopard print, wearing aviator when coloured frames were a necessity and bansihing everyone's favourite gladiator sandals for shoe boots.

Yes Kate Moss is a style icon in the respect that she has abandoned almost all trends to wear something totally different, which a month or two later becomes all the rave. You could say: Kate Moss is fabulous. Her favourite pieces are patterns such as stripes & check during the day, clutch purses for the red carpet, boots and tailored jackets for winter and denim & eyeliner always.

Just think this is the woman who was the first to tuck jeans into ankle boots, this is the woman who was first to walk out of her house with bed hair that didn't look like it had been stolen from Amy Winehouse.

Kate Moss has most recently inspired this autumn's trend Rock Chic and was one of the first to wear feminine grunge. To become a fashionista Kate would be proud of you need to break the rules and never look perfect. She believes the Barbie look is over and to snap her style you need to believe that too.
