Cheryl Cole - Stylist Pick shoes

I have just had a look at Cheryl Cole's shoe collection on Stylistpick, and i must say that i really like them all.

My favourite have to be these Lemon Bon Bon ones which are only £79.90 which i think is quite a reasonable price! I would team them with a nice simple body con dress (probably black)

The celebs seem to like Cheryl's collection too, such as Michelle Keegan who wore the 'Mojo' pair to the British Soap Awards 2012 after party to match her Forever Unique Sequin Aztec dress.

Cheryl at Summertime Ball 2012

Cheryl has hinted at creating her own fashion line saying 'I'd love to' i don't know about you but i would love to see a clothes line by Cheryl.

Cheryl has been spotted with some very 'out there' vibrant outfits, in her new video for 'Call My Name' she wore some bright print harem pants, which i wouldn't wear myself but she pulled them off. I did love the outfit she wore at the summertime ball, it isn't something you would wear on a day to day basis but is perfect for the stage, definitely gets your attention!

I have just ordered myself a pair of Hot to Trot Foxy shoes from Stylistpick for just £25 in the sale!!!! Bargain!!

Alexander McQueen - Swarovski Crystal Union Jack Clutch

Whilst doing the usual Internet 'Window Shop' i cam across this amazing Alexander McQueen Swarovski Crystal Union Jack Clutch on Matches Fashion, i love the skull clasp it adds a bit of quirkiness to the design, and of course it is all about Great Britain this year with the Jubilee and the Olympics so the Union Jack design is great. It does however cost £1,295 so a little out of my spend level!

There is a slightly cheaper Alexander McQueen Union Jack Clutch clutch in a similar design except the colours match the Union Jack red, white and blue. This one only costs £895 and although it still looks amazing i still prefer the Red Swarovski Crystal version.

This Queen of the Nile Clutch by Kate Spade is so cute, i love the camel clasp, its very different and unique and works well with the gold. It costs £221.63 but is only available from Bloomingdale's website in the US.

New Look have a nice little clutch for £44.99 which is available in either black or silver, the Religion Knuckle Disaster Clutch has a nice clasp which is a crown and diamante combination.

Now something a bit more affordable is the Union Jack Clutch for £20 from Totes to Amaze which is a great website with a nice selection of glam bags at reasonable prices, so i would definitely go check this out as it is a brilliant site.

The Glass Slipper Company

I have found this amazing website 'The Glass Slipper Company'. This is a website where you can send a pair of your favourite shoes and have them encrusted with diamante making them a one of a kind pair of shoes! 


Not only can you have your shoes encrusted you can even have your favourite clutch bag, a phone case and even microphone encrusting. This would be a great idea as a birthday/Christmas present, would be unique.

Prices for this vary and it is advised to get a quote before placing your order.


There are a lot of encrusted shoes around at the moment such as these 'Lemonade' pair from Kandee shoes, they are a lovely champagne colour and cost £200, these are also available in Pink and a boot design (prices vary from £200-£250 for these).

These 'Andrianna' pair from Chockers shoes are only £35 so considerably cheaper than the pairs from Kandee shoes, these are available in both pink and black. These are not as sparkly as the others but are still quite nice and great value.

Now if you are made of money how about trying this pair of Christian Louboutin 'Daffodile' pair for £3,795 (quite pricey).

Now just add a little OTT shoe to the mix, how about these 'Cinderella's Wish' shoes which cost £460 and are encrusted with crystals, pearls and glass embellishments, they are gorgeous!

Cinderella Rocked Her Fella are pretty similar to The Glass Slipper Company (mentioned above) so are probably another good one to have a look at if you want to glam up your shoes!

Britney Spears white dress - Azzedine Alaia

As you may have heard Louis Walsh stepped in for Simon Cowell recently on The X Factor (US) but i was more excited about Britney Spears' white dress by Azzedine Alaia, i love it! It is very chic and girly, i started looking for some similar dresses that are available in the shops.

These are the few i have found which i think are great:

Lorrna Crochet Lace Skater Dress - £26.99 - Miss Guided
White Broderie Anglaise Dress - £19.99 - New Look
Self Stripe Knot Back Dress - £29.99 - Topshop
White Lace Skater Dress - £35.00 - River Island
Jasmine White Lace Dress - £28.00 - A/Wear

Victoria Beckham - Mini Shoulder Bag

Victoria Beckham - Mini Shoulder Bag

I love these Mini Shoulder Bags by Victoria Beckham which are available from Harrods for £725 which is a little pricey but you know you want one! It is available in 3 colours, turquoise, yellow and orange. The turquoise is my favourite. I love how Victoria Beckham's designs are always simple yet are so elegant even her dresses are amazing especially the one worn by Cheryl Cole to the 'What to expect when you're expecting premiere' (Cut out Floor length dress from the SS12 collection).

Any way back to the bag, i have been looking for some more similar but at a reasonable price and i have come up with the following alternatives.

I have found this website - Zatchels who sell satchels which are handmade in the UK. I love the Pastel collection especially the Baby blue Leather satchel it cost £76 so its almost 10times cheaper than the Victoria Beckham one and is made to a high standard so not bad going.

This Emilia Frame Satchel from BooHoo caught my eye, its only £28 so its a steal! Available in four colours including Aqua, it is very chic and will go with many outfits.

This Former Handheld from Warehouse has to be one of my favourites it only costs £36 is available in beige or navy. It can be used as a grab bag or a shoulder bag, i love the triangular shape, again its simple but is sophisticated, perfect for the office.

Steve Madden - Awwsome Black Studs

Awwsome Black Stud heels

How amazing are these Awwsome Black Stud heels by Steve Madden!!!! I need these shoes!!! They are on the Steve Madden website for $149.95 in both black and silver, but i haven't been able to find anywhere in the UK that stock them (but i am making it my mission!!)

Since i cannot find them in the UK i have looked for some more alternatives! Whilst i was searching i found these dangerous pair of heels - Jeffrey Campbell creations, available from www.office.co.uk for £130, now you will definitely get a few compliments with this pair (even if it is just out of fear!).

How about a bit of colour block and studs with these Betsey Johnson's Alexii Black Multi heels again i have not been able to find anywhere in the UK that sells them (I'm not doing to good am i lol) but i just love the colour block on this pair of heels.

How about these Sienna Jade Studded Toe Platform heels from BooHoo for only £35.00 which is a great price, and even though there is only spikes on the toe area of the shoe they still look like killer heels (just a little calmer).

Now these Christian Louboutin 'Asteroid' pair look deadly (but amazing of course) although they do cost £945 so the more expensive option! But they are so ..... wow!

I've come across these Lorissa pair of court shoes from Kurt Geiger, they are quote pricey at £205 and to be honest I'm not too keen on them but i thought i would add them just in case they are to some people's liking, they appear to have a snake skin effect and then studs on the heel, i do like the heel but i think its the snake skin effect and maybe the shape of the shoe which puts me off??

Now for my final pick of studded shoes i have found a great website - Chockers Shoes, they have a quite a few pairs of studded shoes at brilliant prices, like these 'Stomp' heels for only £37!! Or how about these 'Jessie' pair of heels for £45 which are very similar to the Jeffrey Campbell Madame Black suede shoes from Office but are just a fraction of the price, so i would definitely recommend visiting Chockers Shoes its an amazing website!!

Big Brother sparkles

Well the new series of Big Brother began last night over on channel 5 and from what I could see it was more like celeb big brother filled with a load of z listers (models, porn stars, other halves of celebs).

Deana - Currently Miss India UK
Conor - Has a party trick where he can wrap his bits around his wrist!
Chris - Says he will be the biggest two faced person in the house
Caroline - Apparently has 5 hairbrushes (debatable if she uses them)
Benedict - Teacher turned Porn Star
Arron - Model
Adam - formerly a member of the and LA Crips
Ashleigh - Ever other word is a swear word - classy
Victoria - Model
Shievonne - Hula Hoop champion and former Playboy Bunny
Scott - Former Avon rep
Sara - Former Miss Edinburgh
Luke S - Club Promoter
Lydia - Professional dancer and engaged to Andy Scott-Lee
Luke A - Born female
Lauren - Can drive a tractor.

There was a lot of sparkles when it came to the contestants outfits, i loved Lauren's dress and sparkly pink heels, although i personally wouldn't have worn them together. You can get similar pink shoes, ones i have found are from Kandee Shoes (Pink Lemonade) and cost £168, i found some more pink sparkly shoes on the Viva La Diva website - Bordello Teeze Platform for only £73.54, these are a darker shade of pink.

Sara wore a very tiny Gold glitter dress which didn't leave much to the imagination! It was a cute little number but just a tad short and revealed a bit too much for my liking.

Lydia - Big Brother 2012 

I did like Caroline's prom style dress, it was black with some nice glitter and sparkle, although i think her hair could do with a good comb.

Lydia's dusty pink body con dress from Celeb Boutique was really nice too, it was simple yet i think the best outfit of the night, very sophisticated, although i don't know if Lydia is going to be as sophisticated in the house, especially after her reaction of been selected by Deana to go up for eviction this week!

There was another Celeb Boutique dress featured on Big Brother - the Beyonce Blue and Black body con dress worn by Victoria.

I am undecided if i will watch the rest of Big Brother as it looks so predictable, and i was hoping for the opening to be abit more exciting, i actually thought that the 'secret task' given to Deana was a bit boring! Maybe it will pick up? Who knows?

Colourful skirts

Pastel Flippy skater skirt

Blue Tropical Print vest

I just bought this lovely Pastel Flippy yellow skater skirt from Miss Selfridge today for £28 it is really nice and perfect for the summer, although I was a bit disappointed when I for home to discover that there was a little hole where the security tag was attached which means I am going to have to take it back and hopefully exchange it for one without security tag damage. It is only a slight hole but the material is the sort which might not hold if there is a slight tear or hole so id rather not risk it.

The Pastel Flippy skater skirt is also available in a few other colours including pink and blue, but i do prefer the yellow, I'm hoping it will go with my new Blue Tropical Print vest from Dorothy Perkins.

I was quite surprised with myself for going for a coloured skirt as i usually go for the standard black colour, so i have had a look for some more colourful skirts which i like the look of.

I like this Purple Airtex Pleated Skirt, i love the material and the length is quite good as it is not too short, It costs £34.00 from Topshop, i think this might go nice with a simple vest top and some summer wedges.

This Tropical Print Wrap drop skirt from Miss Selfridge has a lot going on but i do love the print, i would team it with a simple top so that the top and skirt don't clash. The drop skirt is quite popular at the moment and there are a few designs in shops ranging from plain colours to prints.

I do like the colour blocking on this Louche Seadra Box Pleat Skirt i found on Joy the store website for only  £29.00 its available in Red/Pink and then in a light and dark blue. If i had the Red/Pink skirt i would team it with maybe a cream blouse with a nice print to add a bit of detail to the outfit. I think this Cat Print pussybow blouse would work nice with the Louche Seadra Box pleat skirt, the print is quite unusual but quirky.

There are a lot of nice colourful skirts out there at the moment but i think Miss Selfridge have  great selection at the moment so go check them out.
