Get Ashley Tisdale's Black Floral Tibi Look



It's safe to say that Ashley Tisdale has come a long way since her High School Musical days, most of all in the fashion stakes. We've seen her blossom into quite the fashionista and on this occasion, blossom is very much the operative word. We loved her floral Tibi dress which has once again inspired us to inject some floral into our wardrobes. 

Just because the summer is pretty much gone, doesn't mean our wardrobes need to be all doom and gloom. Ashley's dress may be floral but there isn't an ounce of granny chic about it. Why? a) because of the way she styles it - pretty pink lips, killer cage heels and a contemporary, age appropriate hairstyle. And b) because the dark tones of the dress make it more 'eveningwear' as opposed to tea party with Nana. Here's a few of our favourite dark floral numbers: 




1. D&G; £415.....2. Tibi (the same print as Ashley's, just a sexier, boobier style); £95.....3. Phase Eight;  £71.25.....4. Maxime Simoens; £376

The double denim obsession continues



Pippa Middleton recently stepped out in a double denim combo, so we predict that the look will escalate to new heights in no time. The Pippa handbag and French Connection dress she was spotted in the other day have both sold out (naturally), so we suggest doing your essential denim shopping quickly before it's too late. We've compiled some fab denim items, both high street and high end, for all you need to replicate the double denim look. 



1. Miss Selfridge lace denim shift, £30

2. Miss Sixty belted magic bum lift shorts; £65

3. Cheap Monday 7/8 skinny jeans; £48

4. Miu Miu denim washed denim sandals; £335

5. Topshop distressed denim pelmet skirt; £26

6. Jaeger denim dress; £160

7. Moschino denim blazer; £1,315

8. Firetrap denim shirt; £50

9. Office denim gingham shoes; £36

Get the look for Less: Primark v Marc Jacobs



Getting the look for less has never been so easy. 

The Primark striped jersey midi dress is only £11 compared to its far more pricey Marc Jacobs counterpart. If you want to save the pennies for a bigger wardrobe, look no further than Primark. We doubt this will be around for long though!

Asda's take on Victoria Beckham


As much as we adore the fine craftsmanship and would love to own something by Victoria Beckham (every girl loves a label or two!), the main essence of one of her signature A/W 2011 dresses can be found in Asda's George range for only £16. And we doubt it would sell out as quickly as the Posh one!

Taylor Swift in Topshop



We don't even need to show you how to get the look for less like in previous posts, because Miss Swift is dressed in High Street; a Topshop dress, which will set you back £48, and some Miz Mary Janes make up the majority of her look. We love how she customised it with a black under-skirt which fanned out the hem of the dress, and the skinny black belt. Oh how we love to customise...

Get Rachel Bilson's colour block style



Colour blocking is one of the key trends of the Spring/Summer season and Rachel Bilson is rocking it effortlessly. Her burgundy trousers are right on the money - we just love how she's accessorised the outfit too. 

Nothing says LA chic better than Raybans, a colourful print scarf, and a blazer that adds a smarter edge to the look. We have total bag envy over Miss Bilson's Burberry studded arm candy; but we found a great alternative from Karen Millen. 

Here's how to replicate Rachel's look for less: 



1. Phase Eight; £39.50…2. Miss Selfridge; £30…3. Viyella; £85…4. Bloc Eyewear; £38…5. Karen Millen; £185…6. Kookai; £29…7. Red or Dead; £100

Get Paris Hilton's look for less



Paris Hilton's look would make any mother proud; the socialite was papped whilst celebrating her mother's birthday a few days ago, and we absolutely love what she was wearing. Our hawk-eyes especially couldn't help noticing the Lady Dior bag on Miss Hilton's arm; still a highly coveted item. 

Recreating Paris's look is easy with a cute and girly tea dress, nude heels (you can also substitute them for flat pumps, but we just loved these Kurt Geiger heels too much to not include them) and a snake print bag. This Cavalli one is just gorgeous and from another one of our favourite designers. Down from £225, it's an absolute steal!





1. Littlewoods; £65…2. Deepa Gurnani; £35…3. Rosie Fox; £24…4. Topshop; £65…5. Kurt Geiger; £95...6. Just Cavalli; £112.50

Get Khloe Kardashian's street style for less



The youngest Kardashian girl was spotted in town with her beau Lamar Odom the other day whilst filming their new reality tv show 'Khloe and Lamar'. She was sporting Burberry Prorsum knee-high shearling boots (they also come in an ankle-height and yes Miss Kardashian/Odom has them in that style too), a beautiful Balenciaga bag, and very on-trend red skinny jeans from J Brand. 

You too can recreate the look without breaking the bank; here's how: 



1. Topshop; £38...2. ASOS; £58…3. Star by Julien Macdonald; £28…4. Paul's Boutique; £66…5. Monsoon; £80

Elle McPherson on the school run



This isn't the first time we've seen Elle MacPherson put the other mums to shame on the school run. This time, she was seen sporting Christian Louboutin Lucife pumps, and a gorgeous Roberto Cavalli Diva tote. If you want to replicate the look too but don't have Elle's bank account, or bravery as far as the heels are concerned, take a look at what we managed to find: 

Dorothy Perkins roll neck jumper; £10…Dorothy Perkins leggings; £14…House of Fraser Linea tote; £55.20…Karen Millen studded courts; £200…Vivienne Westwood VW683 Black Smoke sunglasses; £190



If you want to do the school run or go somewhere equally casual and don't want to go in dangerously spiky heels, you can get cheaper and more comfortable ones from Karen Millen for £200; they feature the stud element which the Louboutins have, but the thicker heel makes them a much safer and more comfortable option.
