Olympic Fashion!

Well the Olympics came to a close last night and the Fashion was one of the highlights of the night! There was a great feature where British fashion was celebrated, when a number of Fashion models came to stage wearing all Gold!!

Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell both wore Alexander McQueen gowns, Karen Elson was in Burberry, Stella Tennant in Christopher Kane, also in the Fashion parade was Lily Cole, Georgia May Jagger, Lily Donaldson and Jourdan Dunn.

Then there was the Spice Girl! The moment everyone was waiting for last night, and they were just incredible!! All looked amazingly fashionable, especially Victoria Beckham (of course) wearing a Giles Deacon creation.

It hasn't just been the closing ceremony that has showcased some great outfits, the Team GB uniforms were designed by Stella McCartney which was brilliant, Giorgi Armani also designed the kit for Italy, so this years Olympics were very fashionable!



Not only are the competitors looking good in their sport but they are also turning up the style stakes off tr field too, one athlete I'm sure you have heard of, our Golden girl heptathlon competitor Jessica Ennis was spotted in a gorgeous Coral Alexander McQueen dress a few nights ago from the SS12 collection for £449. Jessica Teams this lovely dress with a simple black belt. She is our Golden girl on and off the field!

Then the Duchess of Cambridge was also sporting a number of gorgeous dresses, during the opening ceremony she wore a lovely Christopher Kane dress
- closing ceremony she wore a Whistles 'Bella' dress which she also wore to the jubilee concert, i love this blue print dress, i have found a similar one on the Whistles website - Bella Camo Leopard Print dress for £150 which isn't a bad price! I do love how she recycles her clothes makes her seem like a normal person, and she always looks good!

I really enjoyed the Olympics i was hooked, i never thought i would be, but now i cant wait for the Paralympics and then Rio in 2016!!!

Patriotic Fashion

2012 is a very British year with the Olympics and the Queens Jubilee, so it is great to see some fashion brands are flying the flag for Britain by releasing some clothing/shoes etc with Patriotic prints and slogans!

Just today i came across Dorothy Perkins DP London range which include printed T-shirts such as this London Eye Tee for £18.00, which is a great price. They also have some Union Jack wellies for only £23.00, now that is very British!!! I love it!! Lets not forget that us Brits love a cuppa, and Dorothy Perkins have picked up on that with these novelty 'My Cup of Tea' socks  for £2.50

New Look have also got a range called 'Cool Britannia' which includes this London Bus Print vest for £12.99, also this Union Jack umbrella for £7.99 (will be a must have with the British Summer!!) Perhaps if the weather is more forgiving then why not try this Abbey Dawn Union Jack Bikini, its great for £34.99

I found a website called Chockers Shoes which has some nice Union Jack print heels such as these 'Churchill' hells for only £35 which is a bargain!!
