At The Corner Shop, a great little online boutique

I'm always on the look out for new fashion blogs and websites and recently came across At The Corner Shop, a quirky online boutique.

With years of experience in boutique style, independent fashion and jewellery design, the girls behind it all were inspired by the recession to create something that would put a smile back on our faces!

With one-off pieces at low prices it's definitely worth a look.

Cheryl Cole's Call My Name Video

How frickin HOT does our Chezza look in the video for her latest single Call My Name!?!

She may have been off the radar for the last year or so but this video proves that she's well and truly back.

Pulling out all the stops fashion wise with printed trousers, floral jacket, pattern clashes and neon shoes.  This lady knows her stuff when it comes to fashion.

If I thought I could pull it off I'd wear the floral jacket and leopard print knickers on my holiday next week!

My latest holiday buys

Some of you may have noticed that there's a slight theme to my most recent purchases.  For some reason I can't seem to stop myself from buying things with buttons and a collar! 

As soon as I enter a shop my tracking device kicks in and I'm drawn straight to the shirts and button up dresses.  My wardrobe is rapidly filling up with them!

These latest buys are perfect for my holiday next week.  I'm thinking, tuck the orange shirt in a long black pleated skirt, what do you think?

Fearne Cotton's Sonia Rykiel Star Print Trousers

After seeing Fearne Cotton's outfit last night on celeb juice, my style crush on the lady in question has rapidly grown!

I've got a massive thing for printed trousers at the moment anyway and the Sonia Rykiel ones that Fearne had on have catapulted straight to the top of my wish list.

It's not the first time she's been spotted in these star beauties.  Fearne also wore them on a recent night out with her fella Jessie Wood.

I love the contrast that the bright coral top she's paired them with brings to the look.

The outfits bang on trend and makes me very envious of her wardrobe!

Update your look by grabbing yourself a pair online at Net-a-Porter for £275.

Holiday Wardrobe Dramas

What a day!?!  It's been so hectic, I seem to have been running around like a headless chicken for the best part of it!  The only thing that kept me going was the thought that this time next week I'll be soaking up the sun in boiling hot (and dry) Cyprus.

The other thoughts running through my mind were what outfits should I pack and how many bikinis should I take!?!  Don't get me wrong, I love a holiday but absolutely hate packing with a passion.  If I could afford it I'd just buy a new outfit everyday whilst I was away, not sure the greek fashion is my cup of tea though!  Maybe I could just pay someone to pack for me?

After tonnes of deliberating I think I've finally got a rough idea of what outfits I'm taking but now I'm stuck on shoes.  Do I bother taking heels? Or do I just stick with sandals?  I normally end up making the mistake of packing a few pairs of heels and spend the whole holiday in flats.  If I just take sandals then it gives me more space for bags and surely that can only be a good thing, right?

So, onto bikinis!  I have about 15 to choose from but I'm only away for 7 days so the selection needs to be cut, drastically! Oh the dramas I have to deal with, ay!

And there was me thinking holidays were meant to be relaxing.

A little pop of colour on a rainy day!

Is everyone just as fed up as me with this lousy weather!?! 

Seen as today is my mum's birthday, I thought I'd bring a bit of colour into the equation to make the day a little brighter.

What do you think?
