Yesterday we bought you information about Stacey Solomon’s Saturday night outfit, which she showed off on the X-Factor stage.
But we know that there are many other contestants who look just as good strutting their stylish stuff up on stage.
Lucie Jones rocked out in a gorgeous bodice and tight jeans , which we could only get away with if we worked out at the gym.
However, we know many of you would look fantastic in an outfit like this, and again, you’ll be pleased to know, it won’t cost you a fortune either.
With the exception of the bodice, which was custom made (although we’ve seen similar in River Island) Lucy’s boots, shirt and jeans were all from All Saints. Rock on down there now.
We’ve got through the “what do I wear” nightmare from Halloween, but we all know nothings ever easy in the world of fashion and styling.
With bonfire night fast approaching and an abundance of firework displays taking place over the weekend, which is said to be in temperatures of double figures, we know you’ll be fretting how to look warm, yet fashionable at the same time.
We’ve therefore put together a gallery of accessories to ensure you look the belle of the bonfire ball this year.

Do you ever wish you could be one of those girl’s who steps out with kooky clothes and boots that no-one else has?
Yes there’s many ways to do this but unless you’re a creative patient type, it can sometimes go a bit wrong. That’s why we’re so excited about Aldo’s new shoe range.
The highstreet retailer has launched its DIY collection, which lets you customise your shoes with with studs, straps, chains and accessories meaning you’ll never have to worry about having the same pair of shoes as anyone else.
Plain boots and shoes in the range start at £60 and separate customisation kits start at £5. But you can’t really put a price on individuality can you?
Who’s your X-Factor favourite? Is it Lloyd with his cute floppy hair or Joe with his cheeky smile? Or do you like the older rocker type like Jamie?
Personally I’m rooting for Stacey. The Dagenham born starlett has everything going for her, she can sing (obviously), and as a bubbly personality. She also looks great in a tracksuit when she’s off X-Factor duty (she’s definitely a girl after our own fashion hearts) but great on the stage too.
Especially when she’s casually styled like she was last Saturday. We’re sure you’ll be pleased to hear that most of her clothing, which was styled around the tassel rock theme was extremely affordable.
Her tassle waistcoat was probably the most expensive item, and came from All Saints, her sparkly dress and necklace were Warehouse and her shoes were from the trusty Topshop.
We just hope she keeps up with the highstreet look when she becomes famous.
Sienna Miller has long been one of our favourite style icons.
She bought the boho look to the mainstream market and done so well as a fashion icon that she also has her own fashion label, Twenty8Twelve, which she created with her sister.
And we’ll sure you’ll agree that once again the boho beauty looks stunning as she strolled the streets of NYC’s West Village last Friday.
We love her pup Bess, but what’s really caught our eye is her gorgeous handbag.
We did a little bit of handbag investigation work and found out that this little gem is the creation of designer Katherine Kwei.
You can get your hands on this Joyce Carry-All, calf and lambskin bag for $625. Put at the top of your Christmas list now.
It’s official, celebs are hitting the high street like the rest of us. We spotted Cat Deeley looking gorgeous and stylish in this £100 coat from Monsoon.
Although the TV presenter has been away from our shores for a while, we’ve been keeping an eye on her style and we’re pleased to see living in LA hasn’t stopped her buying the good old British brands.
If you want to get Cat’s look head down to Monsoon now, and then hit the rest of the highstreet for a pair of skinny jeans and flat ankle boots.

It seems designers are out in force this week, announcing a range of exciting new cosmetic and fragrances, which have us frothing at the mouth with excitement (yes we know it’s not a nice image first thing in the morning.)
The first piece of news that has us buzzing is a rumoured cosmetics collaboration between Estée Lauder and Michael Kors. The range, which is due out next year is part of Michael’s Very Hollywood’ collection and is said to include pink hues, and a bright, face lifting blusher. Yes, we agree, it will probably sell out as soon as it hits the shelves.
And if that wasn’t enough Balenciaga is also said to launch a new fragrance in 2010. Yes we know, designer perfumes aren’t that rare but Balenciaga hasn’t bought out a fragrance for a while, and if its anything like previous scents, we’re in for a perfumed treat.
Want to show your digital snaps to friends without you all having to gather around a tiny LCD screen or mess around hooking up the camera to a big screen? Nikon has the answer. It’s the world’s first camera with a built in projector.
Victoria Beckham has unveiled her newest haircut – and it seems to be a unanimous success. One critic compared the look to that of “a young Sophia Loren”. We’re sure Posh herself would be happy with that observation, especially since her hair hasn’t always received glowing praise in the past.
More tousled than we’ve seen in a while on Victoria, the ‘do was premiered at an LA Lakers game at the weekend. The wavy, textured style is flattering and very easily imitated.
Would you go for Posh’s latest bob (or should we say ‘Pob’)?
You may have already seen the latest Chanel campaign featuring Lily Allen: in it, Lily poses with a series of male models, flaunting the new ‘Coco Cocoon’ range of accessories. Her bouffant and big sunglasses are reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn in some of the images, while fingerless gloves and a leather blazer cut a more sexy figure in others. In fact, Lily’s outfits feature a few of a certain Mr Lagerfeld’s signature looks – minus the white hair, of course.
Lily certainly looks classy – but some have claimed she’s not classy enough for the 100-year-old fashion brand. Designer Karl Lagerfeld has chosen her as his latest muse, and Lily even performed on the catwalk at the latest Chanel show in Paris. She appeared from beneath the floor of the farm-themed catwalk! Watch the video below for her performance – Lily pops up at 1:24.
We think Lily’s perfect for Chanel. She’s come a long way from when she first appeared on the scene in her hip-hop-meets-prom-queen look, and she looks fantastic in the elegant, timeless clothes, while bringing a bit of youthful edge to them. Now if only she could make her mind up about whether she wants to carry on making music – or even if she likes the internet.

Any idea what’s going to be hot the season after next? We might be able to make a guess, but in the fashion industry trend forecasting is big business. Now ‘fashion forecasting’ company Stylesignal is using Twitter to guess what the biggest upcoming looks will be. They analyse what we’re twittering about and make a handy chart out of the data to pass on to companies – so if you tweet incessantly about your latest outfit, you could be being watched, and your look could end up in the shops.
Mind you, the style icons we’d most like to dress like probably don’t care about trends, just what suits them – Cheryl Cole is addicted to miniskirts, Agyness loves her Converse, and when has Alexa Chung not worn ankle boots?
We say hit the street style blogs or look out the window of the bus if you want to see the future of fashion, because trends start with people who are just like you and me, only a bit braver. Spot them and you’ll beat the fashion forecasters – we’ll leave the science-y trend analysing to the people who do it best. And next time you Twitter about a new, amazingly original way to do your belt up, don’t be surprised if it pops up in Grazia next week.
If you’re a regular reader of ShinyStyle then you’ll know how much we admire the female judges style on X-Factor. So much so, that we’ve decided to start a new series. From now until the live final we’ll be putting together a round up on the judges outfits and giving you advice on where you can buy similar.
This week it’s Cheryl’s turn. We must admit we were slightly disappointed with Cheryl’s style this weekend.
The usually stylish judge turned up on Saturday sporting a £1,500 bizarre mini, fan style dress by up and coming designer David Koma and showed off slightly more than she intended to to Simon Cowell.
We’re all for unique fashion, but we think this frock, which looks as though someone has stuck two alloy wheels onto the bust area, is going slightly too far.
We were also disappointed in Ms Cole’s choice of outfit yesterday, which included sparkly tight black trousers, which would have looked more at home in a 70s club, then on the X-Factor stage.
However, no-one can fault those black thigh high boots she teamed Saturday night’s frock horror up with. We’ve put together a gallery of look-a-likes.
The weather has definitely made a turn for the worse in the last few weeks, and we think that means one thing – time to buy a new winter coat. It’s one of the most important parts of your winter wardrobe, so choose carefully, because getting your coat wrong means regretting it til spring.
The high-street is featuring a pretty wide range of styles – from duffle coats to crombies, leopard print to hot pink. Go for a classic look or try something really on-trend – all these coats are under £200. Check out our picks of the most fashionable (and cosy) coats out there.
Move over Madge there’s a new Louis Vuitton model in town.
Yes that’s right, Madonna, who has been the face of the brand for two years, has been replaced by pretty (not to mention younger) gapped tooth model Lara Stone.
Lara will be fronting Louis Vuitton’s S/S ’10 campaign, which will be shot by famous photographer Stephen Meisel.
We hope she’ll carry on where Madge left off and wear some key looks from the designer brand out.
With the 80s making a big come back this year, one must have casual pair of shoes we expect to see amongst the other hundreds in your wardrobes are Converse trainers.
If you haven’t got your hands on a pair yet (where have you been?) then head down to Foot Locker now.
The high street trainer store has revamped the Chuck Taylor All Star boot with distinctive new fabrics and colourways giving this classic look an innovative twist for the new season.
The range focuses on earthy black, charcoal and chocolate shades and leather and suede with shiny-coated nylon fabrics .
On all designs, the signature Converse All Star Logo is stitched on black or white padded collars.
Prices start at £64.99 however, you’ll have time to start saving as this new range, which is exclusive to Foot Locker, won’t go on sale until 15th November priced at £64.99.
