One for the Boys! Liam Gallagher Launches New Pretty Green Store

Following on from the huge success of their Carnaby Street store, Pretty Green launched their second London pop-up store in Covent Garden. Located in Covent Garden's iconic East Piazza last weekend. The new store houses both the Black and Green Label collections and features iconic imagery from Liam’s latest shoot for the SS 11 collection.

Liam Gallgher also revealed that a new Beady Eye album will be ready by next year, although I'm not sure why as they sounded awful on Later with Jools Holland a few weeks ago.

Gallagher said that the follow-up to 2010's 'Different Gear, Still Speeding' will be 'storming'.

''We’ve started and it’s sounding good – we’re not messing about. We’ll have bits of time off but we won’t be sitting around watching Jeremy Kyle, we’ll be in the studio,'' Gallagher told MTV.

He added: ''It won’t be out this year, but we’ll record about February and I reckon it’ll be out next summer.”

Anyway, if you like me are not a fan of the mans latest music venture you may be more be more interested in his forray into fashion. I for one am.

Fashion Forecast: The whiter than white trend is here

White is always a trend come Summer time but this year I reckon we can expect a total white-out. A scary prospect for some, me included, but be brave and try white from head to toe; maybe as a loose-fitting jumpsuit or cocktail dress Victoria Beckham style. 

Standout styles and textures include broderie anglaise dresses, maxi skirts and fantastic crisp tailoring. Also remember white plus tan equals fashion perfection and I don't mean skin, although sun-kissed skin works too, think beige belts and heels. For the very fashion forward try white washing your nails for instant SS11 dazzle. Colour may be the new black this season but I think it's fair to say you should prepare your wardrobe for a total fashion white-over.
The starting point for any outfit, the jacket, well in this case the blazer,, this will go with almost everything


Sporty de-constructed tank-tops From Banana Republic will take you form day to night
The Platform is here to stay and this Casadie from Farfetch will add a little Euro glamour to any white outfit
Not totally white, this Mulberry Alexa get's a rose tinted update...I want it now!!
Knot this fabulous tan belt from Michael Kors around your waist to add definition and break up a head-to-tow white outfit
Dip your toe in the trend with this lace trimmed scarf from Topshop
Flat White: These fabulous Paraosol white toe Loop shoes from Topshop Boutique are the ultimate summer shoe, but not for rainy days..

Mylie Cyrus Shops in Asda..in Derby

Yes, Derby had the good luck to have a visit from Mylie Cyrus in her bid to take over the world to sell her wares to the local screaming hoards.


The teen star is more used to rubbing shoulders with the Hollywood jet-set than mixing with the locals in Derby but in fairness to her she did seem excited to be there as she launched her new Miley and Max clothing line at the Supermarket.

Asda's head of PR Leah Watson said: "The response has been overwhelming - everybody loves Miley.
"There's probably about five or six hundred people here today but thousands and thousands of people actually wanted to come in and see Miley and see the new range that she's been doing with George but unfortunately she just couldn't see everyone."

Check out Miley's range right here

Milan Fashion Week: Roberto Cavalli - Celebrities out in full Force

Roberto Cavalli was joined by several A-Listers for the Cavalli Collection show earlier today.

Taylor Swift, Heidi Klum, Rachel Bilson, Leona Lewis and Karolina Kurkova all turned out decked out in signature Cavalli styles.  Wether you love or hate Cavalli I think you'll agree that they look HOT!

Milan Fashion Week: Spring / Summer Collection 2011 showcasing Roberto Cavalli


Earlier today Cavalli – who recently referred to himself without irony as a "fashion artist" –celebrated 40 years of style, with a show which can be summed up as typically outlandish. Imagine Pocahontus dressed in high end Italian fashion.



The entire collection can be roughly broken into two looks: shredded suede waistcoats and snakeskin flares with lacing up the side; and floor-length, reptile-printed chiffon gowns with heavy suede fringing. 
Despite the fact the label has spanned four decades and is worth an estimated £160, I can't imagine this high-end glamour will sell very well outside of Italy. Aside from the shredding it's unlikely to leak onto the British high street next summer.

Milan Fashion Week: Spring / Summer Collection 2011 showcasing Dolce and Gabbana

It'll be all white on the night was the feeling from the Dolce and Gabbana Show shown earlier tonight as models took to the catwalk in a predominately sexy white collection.


The majority of pieces were sumptuously innocent, a collection of dresses, corsetry, maxi-skirts and baby-dolls, in beautiful chiffon, stretch brocade, macramé, crochet, feather-light linen, and muslin.


If the D&G collection earlier this week undelined how key florals would be in Spring/Summer 2010 then the Dolce and Gabbana show lets us know how important innocence and lace will be, I suppose you could compare one to the flower girl and the other to being the bride, both beautiful in their own way but the bride clearly outshines everyone else.. and rightly so.



Milan Fashion Week: Dolce & Gabbana launch the Naomi Campbell T-shirt Collection

Earlier today Dolce & Gabbana celebrated 25 years of Naomi Campbell by presenting the Naomi Campbell T-Shirt collection during Fashion Week at the Dolce & Gabbana boutique in Milan, Italy. 



I can't believe that Naomi Campbell's  been in the modelling business for a quarter of a century, she still looks so young!

Her 25-year career in the fashion industry was celebrated at the Dolce & Gabbana flagship store in Milan, which toasted her success and contributions. Hopefully all talk of diamonds and mobile phone throwing was put on hold for a day.




The T-shirts are available to buy in Dolce & Gabbanna shops now



Milan Fashion Week: Spring / Summer Collection 2011 showcasing Moschino Cheap & Chic

The chic, more affordable little sister of Moschino showed it's collection yesterday. It was playful, pretty and fun with lots of bold colour contrasts, quirkey details and great separates. My initial thoughts were that I didn't get it but then when I looked at all the pieces individually it made sense.

 I love this floral dress, it will flatter all shapes, the combination of colours won't wash anyone out and the quirkey gingham sandals add a fun twist to the overall outfit, although I'm not crazy about the brown strap. Accessory-wise I think these big chunky statement pieces make what could be just another dress a stand-out.
This is my favourite look, it makes me think of bumble bees but that's to bee expected.. All these pieces are sexy as hell and would work in numerous other combinations. While yellow and black played a bit part of the collection I feel this is the best example of how well they can work together. This outfit has such a retro feel but the great accessories keep it  bang up to date. LOVE IT!
Initially this look made me  think of Chanel, sherbet and grannies but on further assessment I think it's great. The embellishments on the jacket are cute and cheeky while the overall look is playful and fun. Again the sandals add an extra element of frivilty to the look, keeping it light and breezy with a fashion forward edge.
This gingham dress makes me long for the summer. The flower embellishments, what I first thought were a bit of a foible, are in-fact a fantastic undertated addition to the dress. This is just a great outfit.
I'm torn on this look, I should love it as it ticks so many boxes for me. Colour-wise the dress is spot on, the voluminous frilled end is totally me and normally I'd bite someone's hand off to get that statement necklace but I just don't think it works. The dress doesn't seem to sit well, the necklace is the wrong colour and I just don;t think the sandals work with the rest of the outfit. Thumbs down..I do love the headband though.

Milan Fashion Week: Spring / Summer Collection 2011 showcasing Prada.

Bold colours and Mexican tequila Hats made appearances at the Miuccia Prada collection. Last year it was all about the Mad Men look but this year it's all about clean lines and accessible work-wear.
This is my favourite outfit from head to toe, colour blocking stripes accentuate your shape in all the right places, I could envision myself wearing this to any event.. I love it!

This dress is so pretty and full of just full Latin soul, I can practically hear the party. As with everything else on the catwalk the shoes are a little at odds with the rest of the outfit but what the hell, it's funky.
This is classic work-wear but what the hell are these shoes about? Urgh, they're awful.. I love a wedge but seriously. Talk about clumpy! So minus the shoes I think this is great.


This look is so South America, Banana prints and monkeys. I'm not a fan though.
Another, subtler ode to South America. This is definitely more wearable. I do love the stripped skirt but hate the goggles, they'll never be sexy

Prada has built a highly successful luxury brand on making the slightly wrong look right so we shall see..
