Girl Done Good

God bless Cat Deeley. Having popped across the Atlantic to "break America", the Brummy beauty seems to have gone from Saturday morning kids TV to LA luvvie of the moment in one simple, heel-clad step, and her style has come on leaps and bounds in the process. She stepped out last night looking absolutely ravishing (and more than a little Rachel Zoe-esque, don't you think?) at the opening of the new Diesel flagship store on Melrose Place. The hot-hot-hot pants are standard issue in La-La Land, but she retains an element of British style with the leather jacket. She sure does us proud.

Three's a Trend - If Mischa Cannes, We Cannes...

Forget the films, it's the frocks that make headlines at the über-cool Cannes Film Festival, and Mischa Barton is clearly savvy to this.  The British-born beauty stepped out in a succession of show-stopping gowns over the 12 day festival, each time managing to look more drop dead gorgeous than the last. And a definite trend emerged from her red-carpet choices – strapless. Not surprising, considering baring your shoulders and neckline is one of the simplest ways of achieving an elegant yet sexy look and suits practically everyone (not just stunning, willowy superstars - hurrah!). Just add a slick of shimmer crème to highlight your collarbone and shoulders and you’re good to go…

We scoop Etailer of the Year at Drapers Footwear Awards 2007!

On May 16, 650 of the footwear industry's finest gathered at the London Hilton on Park Lane for the Drapers Footwear Awards to celebrate the wonder of shoes, and those who make them. Awards were given in over fifteen fabulous categories ranging from Best New Store to Footwear Retailer of the year, not to mention the category in which ASOS.com was running; Etailer of the Year.

Alongside stiff competition from dune.co.uk, exclusivefootwear.com and footwear4you.co.uk, ASOS.com romped home to victory scooping the title  'Etailer of the Year' with pride.

Head of Buying, Debbi Ball, commented that "After the company winning Drapers and Retail Week's Best Etailer of the Year, it was great for one department to be credited with an award, especially in such a tough trading climate. We are really pleased to have won this year's footwear awards against such stiff competition and it's wonderful to see that the effort our team has put in to widen the scope of our offer has finally paid off."

Lindsay Lohan - Teen Dream to Style Queen

Ah, La Lohan – how we love thee! Despite not being particularly lucky in love (reports this morning suggest that all may not be well with her recent romance with Calum Best), when it comes to superstar-style this girl just can’t go wrong. Having evolved from the cute-as-a-button 12 year old we first saw in The Parent Trap, and weathering a difficult bout of rumours regarding her weight, we reckon Ms. Lohan is looking healthier and happier than ever at the moment. Equally stunning whether dressing down in jeans, a rock tee and the obligatory oversized sunnies, or glamming up on the red carpet in a show-stopping dress, we just can’t help but love her (and her wardrobe) more and more…

Brand Focus; Fiona and Luke

For girls who who want a look that's cute but full of attitude, Fiona and Luke jewellery could be the perfectly playful solution. With ecelectic influences ranging from the boundless stores of Americana kitsch, eighties British punk and the starry glitz of Las Vegas style, each design is infused with the brand motto of  'Love, Life and Rock and Roll'.

Give it some Welly this Festival Season

May hasn't quite delivered the weather that we all expected after the hot spell in April, and the summer wardrobes we began hopefully compiling have been replaced by our winter woolies once more.

But festival season is nearly upon us, and in true British style, come rain or shine, music lovers everywhere will be out in force. Hedge your bets with a pair of bright Wellies, colourful enough to be teamed with cute micro-shorts and billowing smocks should our weather fortunes improve, yet resilient enough to tuck your favourite denims into and dance through the mud in.  Choose from cute heart motifs or go back to nature with ditsy flower print.

The Bronze Age; St Tropez

A healthy glow is an essential base for every Summertime outfit, but with the huge number of self tan products on the market that streak, smudge and sweat off far too quickly after careful application, it's difficult to know which brand to turn to.

To ensure flawless results every time, invest in Beckham brand favourite, St Tropez, which offers a full range of tanning products to take you through the transition from English rose to sun-kissed style guru.

Begin by exfoliating with the St Tropez Body Polisher, then apply St Tropez Moisturiser in preparation for the tanning solution. Opt for either the St Tropez Body Mist or Lotion to achieve a beautifully bronzed tone. Correct any mistakes or regain your pale and interesting look with the St Tropez Self Tan Remover Sachets.
