Pixie Lott won’t leave home without accessories.
The ‘Cry Me Out’ hitmaker feels uncomfortable if she hasn’t teamed her outfit with large amounts of jewellery or flowers in her hair.
She said: “My fashion mantra is make it your own. You can take a simple dress and put personality into it by adding your own little touches.
“I won’t leave home without accessorising. I don’t feel right without rings on every finger, an armful of bangles or flowers in my hair.
“My jewellery box is full of Disney Couture, Rock ‘N Rose, Tiffany & Co and trinkets that belong to my gran.”
Pixie has vowed to expand her wardrobe for the summer by experimenting with different colours.
She told Now magazine: “My summer style resolution is to inject more colour into my wardrobe.
“This season is all about bold colour blocking and clashing brights, so I’ve just bought a pair of colour pop blue wedges. I have more fun with fashion when the sun’s out.”

Nicola Roberts would love to design her own range of shoes.
The Girls Aloud singer – who is renowned for her fashion choices – has recently created a pair of shoes to accompany her debut solo album ‘Cinderella Eyes’ and admitted working on her own shoe collection would be a dream come true.
She said: “I love fashion and I love the way that clothes can make you feel. I also kind of respect it so much that I would never just take my position for granted in the fact that would just throw a clothing line out. I would love to do a shoe collection. I have just designed a shoe for the album campaign because the record is called Cinderella’s eyes it’s my take on the modern day glass slipper, so to have fun with something like a shoe collection would be amazing.”
Nicola has previously developed her own make-up range Dainty Doll and is thrilled high street pharmacy Boots will now be selling the brand online and in stores.
Talking to Alex Baker on Gaydar Radio, she said: “The whole team is so proud that we have managed to get Boots on board. They’re backing the brand which is just incredible. It is a dream come true in terms of developing the makeup range. It is a store that I grew up going into and real women and real girls go into everyday and to be able have my line in there is just really amazing.”

US Vogue editor Anna Wintour
Azzedine Alaia says Anna Wintour is forgettable. The designer is not a fan of the US Vogue editor because he doesn’t think she knows her fashion and once she retires, she won’t leave an enduring legacy.
He told Virgine magazine: “Anna runs the business (Vogue) very well, but not the fashion part. When I see how she is dressed, I don’t believe in her tastes one second. I can say it loudly! She hasn’t photographed my work in years even if I am a best seller in the US and I have 140 square meters at Barneys. American women love me; I don’t need her support at all. Anna Wintour doesn’t deal with pictures; she is just doing PR and business, and she scares everybody. But when she sees me, she is the scared one.
“Anyway, who will remember Anna Wintour in the history of fashion? No one. Take Diana Vreeland, she is remembered because she was so chic. What she did with the magazine was great, with Avedon and all the great photographers. Vogue remains while its fashion editors come and go.”
Alaia also hit out at fellow designer Karl Lagerfeld, saying he doesn’t rate the Chanel legend’s work.
He said: “I don’t like his fashion, his spirit, his attitude. It’s too much caricature. Karl Lagerfeld never touched a pair of scissors in his life. That doesn’t mean that he’s not great, but he’s part of another system. He has capacity. One day he does photography, the next he does advertisements for Coca-Cola. I would rather die than see my face in a car advertisement. We don’t do the same work. And I think that he is not doing a favour to young stylists who might think it works that way. They’re going to fall before they retire.”

Eva Mendes - new face of Angel
The 37-year-old Hitch star is delighted to be fronting the new advertising campaigns for the 19-year-old perfume – which will be joined by an eau de toilette version in August – because she has always associated it with femininity.
She explained: “I grew up with Angel. I remember thinking, as a child, ‘That’s what a woman smells like.’ I’m the baby in my family by 10 years, and my sisters wore it. It comes full circle now that I’m the face of Angel.”
Eva was chosen to front the campaign because of her versatility. Joel Palix, president of Clarins Fragrance Group and director general of the Mugler company, explained: “Eva can be demure one minute and sensual the next.”
She also admitted she would consider releasing her own fragrance – but only if there was a good reason to do so.
She told WWD: “I’m Cuban, and it is a rite of passage to be doused in Les Violetas, a baby perfume, whether you like it or not.
“I tend to not jump into things right away, unless I have an emotional connection to it. People can really sense whether or not something is authentic. When you’re just slapping your name on something, it shows.”

Bargain POTW, Celebrity Style
By Andrea Petrou on June 23rd, 2011
If you’ve got a fashion crush on Michelle Obama but think you’ll never be able to afford her style, then we’ve got some great news for you.
As we reported yesterday the First Lady visited South Africa for a meeting with Nelson Mandela bringing with her an impressive wardrobe consisting of her staple long coat and waisted belts.
However, she also had a little high street lovely snuggled in her closet and that came in the shape of this printed sleeveless oversized shirt from the Asos Africa collection, which she wore to play with South Africa’s children.
And the best news is that it’s only £35 meaning you don’t need a Presidential salary to afford it. We advise you get it now before the buying frenzy begins.

John Galliano has blamed his addiction to alcohol, sleeping tablets and valium for his recent anti-Semetic remarks.
The troubled designer – who reportedly launched a verbal attack on a couple in a Paris cafe in February and was fired as Christian Dior’s creative director in March after a video showed him apparently drunk, telling a woman in a cafe he “loved Hitler” – was in court yesterday where his lawyer blamed his behaviour on his substance abuse problems.
Aurelian Hamelle told the Paris court: “One obvious thing is that John Galliano was ill. He had a triple addiction to alcohol, benzodiazepine (valium) and sleeping pills.”
The lawyer said Galliano – who has since been in rehab to receive treatment for his addictions – was mortified to see how he acted in the video and denies being anti-Semetic.
Five people were to give evidence in the trial, which ended yesterday, and the verdict is due on September 8.
If he is found guilty, he faces a fine of up to £19,500 and a six-month prison sentence.
Following the incidents, Galliano apologised for his remarks.
He said: “Anti-Semitism and racism have no part in our society. I unreservedly apologise for my behaviour in causing any offence.”

George Clooney fans will be celebrating this morning with the news that George Clooney has split with Elisabetta Canalis after nearly two years together.
The 50-year-heart throb – who has previously dated British beauty Lisa Snowdon and was married to actress Talia Balsam for four years until 1993 – has released a joint statement with Elisabetta confirming the split, and asked for “privacy” in the wake of the break-up.
The pair said: “We are not together anymore. It’s very difficult and very personal and we hope everyone can respect our privacy.”
George and 32-year-old Elisabetta were seen just last week on a night out at the Il Gatto Nero restaurant in Lake Como, Italy, and she has previously revealed she hoped to marry – despite the ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ star saying he never would again.
She said: “I am a firm believer in marriage, in the future I will be married, but for the time being I am happy as I am.”
Discussing his opinion on marriage recently, George – who is currently filming a role in ‘Gravity’ alongside Sandra Bullock – said he had given it a chance.
He said: “I was married. I gave it a shot.”
We can’t but feel sorry for the Italian actress, who seemed to have the style and sophistication that matched George’s.
Unlike Lisa Snowdon she went for the Italian chic look consisting of long slinky ballgown dresses in rich golds and reds as well as little black numbers. See her style gallery below.

Jennifer Lopez has had to shell out $6,000 to clean her swimming pool after her son did a poo in it.
The ‘On The Floor’ hitmaker – who has three-year-old twins Max and Emme with husband Marc Anthony – had to pay to have her pool professionally cleaned after Max had an accident while potty training at the couple’s California home.
Marc explained: “He had an accident in the pool and it got into the filter system and they charged us to clean it. That was expensive. He took a $6,000 dump in the pool.”
The Grammy Award-winning singer – who recently celebrated his sixth wedding anniversary with Jennifer – revealed while potty training is in “full force”, the twins have worked out ways to trick their parents into giving them treats in return for correct toilet use.
Speaking on Jay Leno’s US chat show, he added: “Potty training is in full force, but they figure out things. I don’t know how they do it.
“Every time they use their potty we give them a lollipop. Then a few days passed and we ran out of lollipops. I’m like ‘You should probably get them checked out if they’re using the potty that much.’ “

Lily Allen has been spending her honeymoon in Paris.
The pop star and her new husband Sam Cooper have enjoyed a visit to the French capital where they have shopping and dining out before they head to the Glastonbury Festival in Somerset, South West England, for the second leg of their post-wedding holiday.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Lily’s been really chilling out after the stress of organising the wedding.
“They shopped in Zara and Chanel on Tuesday (21.06.11) and had dinner at Chez Dumonet in the evening.”
However, Lily – who is pregnant – has admitted Paris was not her first choice of honeymoon destination.
She wrote on her twitter page: “Paris was not my1st choice, but I’ve been advised not to fly by doctors, and it’s about as exotic as one can get without doing so (sic)”
The ‘Not Fair’ singer also complained about the paparazzi who followed her around Paris.
In another tweet, she revealed: “Really enjoying the Parisian papparazzis presence on my honeymoon. Thank god we didn’t want to go for a romantic stroll as husband and wife. (sic)”
Lily and Sam will arrive at Glastonbury over the next couple of days and the pair have spent £8,000 on a VIP yurt tent backstage at the festival.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: “The yurts are magical and spiritual. They’re silk lined, romantic and the most luxurious and chilled out way to enjoy the festival.
“They come with a double bed covered with Egyptian cotton sheets, a champagne fridge, sheep-skin rugs and chandeliers. We even give our guests slippers. We want them to feel 100 per cent at home and happy.
“The yurts are so romantic. We can cover the beds with rose petals and they’re perfect for romantic star-gazing at night.”

Kate Moss has asked for ashtrays and alcohol as wedding presents.
The 37-year-old supermodel – famed for her hard partying ways – is due to marry The Kills frontman Jamie Hince next week and the couple have sent guests their gift list this week, with items including 14 crystal ashtrays which cost £240 each and crates of 2002 Louis Roederer Cristal champagne at £1,833 each.
The couple – who requested items from upmarket department store Liberty, Berry Bros & Rudd and antique shop Talisman – has also asked for a £6,600 silk rug, a £5,000 cutlery service, a £4,600 mirror and a £4,750 cocktail set.
Among the cheaper items on the list are £12 bottles of claret, a pair of tea strainers at £12.95 and a rabbit-shaped jelly mould for £35.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “They wanted lots of pretty things that meant a lot to them.
“Their partying won’t be stopping any time soon judging by what they’ve ordered.”
Kate is known for her love of smoking and it was once claimed she has her personal assistant leave 100 cigarettes nearby at all times.
A source said: “Kate has five coffee tables spread between her living room, kitchen, office and bedroom so that’s a lot of cigarettes.
“She also has a special tennis ball with holes for cigarettes to stick out from so visitors can relax with a smoke.”
The catwalk beauty also keeps her fridge stocked with at least two bottles of champagne and two bottles of vodka in case she has unexpected guests.
