Sweet n Chic

This mega-bangle is from the YSL resort 2011 collection. Wonder if we can recreate it with some melted together Haribos?

We heart Oscar's Tech-cessories!

We're not sure what we want more, an iPad or Oscar de la Renta's gorgeous iPad clutch. Hmm, how about both?

Snazzy shades

Latest news on the 'who's launching sunglasses' grapevine... The Olsens' Elizabeth & James line will be launching eyewear in November with a 14 piece collection. Er, isn't that a bit late? Whatever, we quite like them...

Head Candy

So in the absence of Luella, we are turning our attention to Peter Jensen for our witty and whimsical fashion wants. And right now we want a silly cap with bunny ears and a bow. Oh look, there's one right here!

Cap, £25, The Tee Shop, 234 Brick Lane, E2 7EB (020 7739 7385)

Clarks just got cool

Ooh, how exciting! Clarks has gone all youth culture on us for next season and created a whole host of cool shoe options. Now, do we choose the brothel-creeper-esque shoes or the stompy boots?

High Street Hits

This week we're loving:

New Look denim biker jacket, £35


Topshop strawberry print shorts, £32


Mango wedges, £54.90


Jack Wills Breton top, £44


Tabio ankle socks £9.95

Petit Prada

Ah, how we adore a miniature beauty product. So useful, so cute, so fun! And this Prada handbag-sized bottle of its L'eau Ambree fragrance is crying out for an invitation into our Louis Vuitton bumbag (we wish). Perfect for the summer 'glamping' season, it even has a natty keyring to attach to belt loops while on the go.

Imagine...

...If this was your notebook. School would be so much funner!

Good bye sky high heels, hello elevated espadrilles!

SHOES, £95, KURTGEIGER.COM

Everyone's wearing...

...The summer red lip. Beyonce and Lily Allen look ravishing in bright true reds. Alexa's is a shade too dark, we'd like to see her in something more tomato-toned...

Tropicana nails

Rumours, rumours. We hear that Chanel has a bold blue nail colour being whipped up in the labs. Intriguing. In the meantime, we are draw to YSL's new summer shades. We fancy Ultra Orange for our fingers and Ultra Violet for toes. You?

Make me a fashion editor

Every girl we know who has seen The Hills wants to work in fashion. We went to the launch of the Teen Vogue Handbook last week and we have to say, if you crave a career in fashion, you need this book. It's like a bumper edition of Teen Vogue but the focus is on making it in the fashion industry. Being a Vogue publication, there are tips and interviews from the biggest names in fashion. Talk about getting the best advice in the business!

To add our tuppence-worth, check out this old post on getting the best out of your work experience interview and this interview Navaz did with Stevie from Discotheque Confusion...

Topshop makeup gets interactive

Oh we do love a bit of fashion interactivity! As if playing with Topshop's new make-up range wasn't enough fun (we recommend the lip polishes), we're being treated to its online makeover tool. You can either upload your own photo and try out the make-up on your own face, or get creative with the official campaign shots.

As if that's not impressive enough, Topshop has also made its own make-up tutorials which you can watch on Youtube. We are mostly going to spend this week replaying the Statement Lip video. 'Scuse us while we pucker up...

Snip!

The temperature is (slowly) hotting up. Time to crop our jeans we think... You?

Festival Face

It's May! And that means festival season is mere weeks away. *Cue unearthing of wellies and rain poncho from depths of wardrobe.* Make-up brands are getting in on the action good and proper with their cheap and chic face paints. Top Shop's range is imminent but for now, we're impressed with this W7 Neon Eyes 5-colour eyeshadow set. That's a lot of crazy colour options for £3.49. Go create!

We love... Peep heeled boots

Yes the sun is out, but we're taking no chances. We're hanging on to our ankle boots...but with an extra twist. The 'peep-heeled'* bootee is perfect for those who want a bit of sun on their feet - but still want the security of coverage (hey, don't laugh, you know what London weather is like). Even Gwyneth knows where we're coming from, she was spotted in hers on the red carpet at the Iron Man 2 premiere. Tip: Make sure your heels are de-scaled and moisturised - hooves ain't chic.

Here are some of our favourites.
Asos.com, £50

Miss Sixty at Asos.com, £135
New Look £35


Mango, £64.90



*yup, we totally made up the name

It costs HOW much?

It's arrived! Tom Ford's much-hyped lipstick line has landed and pretty special it looks too. But wait, £35 for a lipstick? Would you pay that much?

Claire's nails it

We spotted these zingy new nail colours at Claire's Autumn/winter preview. No French manicures there, it's all about rainbow brights - we suggest a different hue for each nail. Claire's have even launched their own DIY version of Minx Nails. We need these now!

Mmmm...

...is for monogrammed shirts as seen in Vogue...


...and next season's French Connection
