Whitney Port's leather shorts, yay or nay?

Whitney Port showed her support to her Hills co-star as she attended the LC Lauren Conrad Clothes Launch Party in Hollywood recently.

Leather is a big trend this season and there's no denying Whitney's got it nailed. Shorts are tricky at the best of times but bare legs and a loose top give this look a insouciance which is hard to beat. A new series of The City has already started in the US and we can't wait to see more fab fashion from the Manhattan It girls.

Would you try this trend? Take our poll and let us know!

Jil Sander's debut collection for Uniqlo launches this week

Jil Sander launches her '+J' collection for Uniqlo this Thursday. This is her first range as Uniqlo's Creative Director, a position which she accepted earlier this year.

The German designer's minimal, simple designs were the staple of many a '90s wardrobe but Sander bowed out of her label in 2004 after differences with the label's owner and Prada CEO Patrizio Bertelli.

The +J collection is a mammoth range, comprising 40 menswear pieces and 100 womenswear pieces. Sander has overseen the creation of knitwear, denim and outerwear for the label but the label has kept a tight lid on the designs.


Will you be buying pieces from the +J collection? Take our poll and let us know!

Whitney Houston and Madonna do a double take in Dolce & Gabbana - but who wore it better?

madonna_whitneyhouston_dolcegabbanadress.jpg


Everyone is talking about this mah-jah fashion blunder that took place on Monday night. Two of the world's biggest divas, Whitney Houston and Madonna, were both snapped at events wearing the very same animal-print Dolce & Gabbana - whoops!

Whitney was in London to promote her highly-anticipated comeback album, I Look To You. While Madge was hanging out with the D&G boys and her own toyboy Jesus Luz in Milan. Either this was a very deliberate ploy by D&G to nab all the headlines, or someone is in lotsa trouble. Who do you think pulled this look off best? Vote below.

Poll: Will Beth Ditto's collection get you shopping in Evans?

After a fair amount of blogger hype and a celeb-studded launch party Beth Ditto's collection for Evans launched today, and it's great to finally see the entire collection. We're lusting after the acid wash denim skirt above, which retails at £35.

Evans have made a first by dropping their smallest size to a 14, a normal size by most people's measurements. This move serves not only to remove the stigma of going into a shop which stocks larger sizes it also means they are looking to appeal to a wide (sorry!) choice of women. Ditto's collection isn't short on style, I recently spoke to Evans' head of design, Lisa Marie Patrick who explained how committed and passionate Beth was in terms of her collection for the brand. This isn't the first high-trend collaboration for Evans, shoe designer Georgina Goodman lent her skills to their footwear collections for a few years.

What do you think, will Beth Ditto's collection get you shopping in Evans? Take our poll and let us know!

Poll: When do you do your shopping?

The sales are on and everybody is getting ready to snag a bargain but as much as I love clothes I'd rather burst my own eyeballs than brave a shopping centre on Saturday.

This is a definite change from my teens, when many a pleasurable afternoon was spent walking up and down Oxford Street. Nowadays I sneak my shopping in on long Thursday evening sessions, fleeting morning visits and the regular lunchtime charity shop expedition.

How do you shop? Take our poll and let us know!

Poll: How much will you spend on your festival wardrobe?

Glam, thrift store chic and trusty favourites, Kate Moss, Karen O and Alexa Chung show their different festival styles.

In the UK perhaps more than anywhere else festivals mean fashion, at one end of the scale you've got Coleen Rooney in her maxi dress at V Festival and then at the other you have Kate Moss' memorable Les Chiffoniers latex leggings at Glasto.

Either way there's no doubt people are putting as much consideration into their outfit as they are their camping gear. A recent survey conducted for Lovebox Weekender showed that 33% of female participants spent an average of £220 on their festival outfits. Even factoring in a pair of pricey Hunter wellies that's still a substantial amount.

Are you planning to shell out for a summer festival outfit? Or do you prefer to wear trusty cutoffs and t-shirts when watching your favourite bands in the mud? Take our poll and let us know!

Star style: Rihanna vs. Paris Hilton - who wore Alexander Wang better?

rihanna_vs_parishilton_alexanderwang.jpg


As we all know, Alexander Wang is a hot commodity right now so owning any of his designer pieces is a huge plus. That's why it is hardly surprising to see two of Hollywood's young elite out-and-about in his gorgeous black and white corset body-con dress. First it was Rihanna who was spotted in the frock, while arriving at Kanye West's New York City apartment last month. Then, Paris Hilton donned the same dress to a taping of Late Show with David Letterman overnight, which she matched with a pair of black Gucci heels. The only question is - who wore it better? Tell us below.
