Asos Extreme Looks




Asos have a new tab on their home page called 'Dare to Wear: Celebs Extreme Looks', well if anything on Asos is going to get my attention it's that provocative name. Of COURSE I want to channel Gaga, who doesn't?

Below are some of the best bits...


If I carried my laptop about...

Then this would be on my Chrimbo list...

Topshop 'Dress Me Up' celebrity dress hire


(dress donated by Christopher Kane)

Who doesn't love Toppers, especially when they com up with great new ideas like the 'Dress Me Up' dress hire project with all proceeds going to Age Concern and Help The Aged. The Dress Me Up initiative offers customers at the Oxford Circus store the chance to hire very expensive dresses previously owned (and worn) by celebrities, you can hire the dress for two days for a measly £40, on returning the dress you can then put a bid in to buy the dress when they are auctioned.

Generally your Christmas party dress is a 'one wear' and unless you are a millionaire you come up with the age old dilemma of wondering whether to buy from the high street and turn out in the same dress as Julia in HR or you spend a lot on something more expensive that you never wear again.

You could be hiring Frieda Pinto's yellow Burberry Prorsom, Kate Moss' Lanvin or one of Nicola Robert's bespoke GIrls Aloud stage costumes. Now, I'm not sure whether I'd fit into to any of those being over a size 6 and all but what can you do?

Flat boots for those rainy days

I'm a bit in love with my brown ankle boots, they have a small heel and a gold buckle more than that they are perfect for this horrid weather.

I can't help noticing that there are tonnes of gorgeous flatty boots on the high street, so for anyone who is interested here's a few I have picked out whilst internet window shopping over the weekend:

Topshop - Ambrose boots, £65



Urban Outfitters - Lace Up Strappy Boot, £85


Vivienne Westwood Anglomania for Melissa Button Detail Ankle Boot, £75


See by Chloe trapped Laced Flat Ankle Boots, £390


The See by Chloe boots are really special but everytime I see them I can't help but think that by putting some studded cuffs around your Doc Martens you can achieve the same effect. I have got some of these cuffs from eBay.


Nifty, eh!

Super cool Brick Lane hat shop Bernstock Speirs have had their hats placed atop the heads of likes of Will Young, Sharon Stone and Kirsten Dunst.

True fact, I can access Paul Bernstock's wifi from my room - if only I had the password!

Beyonce in a New Look dress? Truefact



I love the Idol collection at New Look, so does Beyonce, that means were basically best friends right? Wonder why she didn't invite me to Mahiki with her where she rocked this look? You too can make like Bouncey and buy this dress for a measly £20, win!

There are some Idol things in the sale on the New Look website, including these two studded bags which are a steal at £20 each.
