Kate Moss Launches New Mango Collection A/W 2012

Kate Moss launches Mango's new collection

Kate Moss launches high street retailer, Mango, new Autumn/Winter collection today.

Available online now, the women's collection features sequins, blazers and sharp tailoring. I love the sequin jersey dress (above) perfect for a Christmas party and the knitwear range, ideal for a cold Winters day.

Speaking about the Mango autumn/winter collection, the model said: 'The white and leather tuxedo jackets and the pencil skirt with the leather detail on the waist are my favourites.

Kate's style is amazing and she certainly looks great in these photos. Here are some of my favourites:-

 White tuxedo jacket and trousers, oh and the shoes WOW!

 Zebra print jumper and distressed jeans

 Electric blue military blazer 

 Wool coat and kitten heel cowboy boots - yes please!

Emmys 2012 - Best Dressed

Sunday night's Emmy Awards, held in Los Angeles saw the best and worst dressed celebrities on the red carpet. Here are a few of my favourites:-

 Heidi Klum looked sensational in a Alexandre Vauthier dress with thigh slash. Seal who?! 

Hayden Panettiere looked fabulous in this beautiful Marchesa gown

Julianne Hough (Ryan Seacrest's other half) wore a very wedding like but stunning Georges Hobieka Couture strapless gown. Perhaps the bridal look was a hint to Ryan?!

Edie Falco - I love this Stella McCartney gown Edie wore!

 Kelly Osbourne matched her dress to her hair with this beautiful Zac Posen gown. How good does she look?! 

Christina Hendricks looking as gorgeous as ever, wore a Christian Siriano gown

A pregnant Claire Danes looked beautiful in canary yellow (favourite colour of mine!) in this Jeanne Lanvin gown

 Despite Sofia Vergara's Zuhair Murad dress splitting later in the evening, Sofia still looked a million dollars!

Chloe Green Launches New Shoe Collection for Topshop

 Chloe Green and her shoe collection

Chloe Green, daughter of Topshop boss Sir Phillip Green  launches her new shoe range for the high street chain today.

The collection, CJG which stands for her full name, Chloe Jade Green, has launched as a standalone concession in Topshop's flagship store Oxford Circus. Prices start at £115.00.  The collection will also be available at Topshop and Chloe's own website, CJG.com.

 The signature green sole appears on all of Chloe's shoes

My verdict? There are certainly some heels that caught my eye particularly the wooden wedges, Bella Bea, and peep toe nude heel with zip. I love the turquoise green sole she has added to the shoes. Although it is not the most original idea as the red sole is famously associated with Christian Louboutin heel, I still think it's a simple and effective look to the Chloe Green "brand".  Perhaps Beyonce and Jay-Z's daughter, Blue, may follow in the same footsteps?!

More of Chloe's collection

What is most disappointing is the price of the collection. High street shoes do not start "from £115.00", that is at the top end. What happened to Topshop promoting affordable fashion?  Perhaps Chloe had her famous chums from reality tv show Made in Chelsea in mind when she was designing these heels rather than a high street buyer.  Could the average Topshop customer really afford this collection? Hmmmm, I'm doubtful but what do you think?

I would love to hear your verdict on her collection!  Here are a few of my favourite heels from the CJG range:

RIP Donna Summer - Queen of the Disco

 RIP Donna Summers

Disco Diva Donna Summer has died today, aged 63, after fighting cancer.  The five time Grammy award winner singer was reportedly trying to keep the extent of her illness secret.  She was known as the "Queen of Disco" with her songs, "Hot Stuff", "I Feel Love", "Last Dance" and my favourite, "Love to Love You Baby". 

Donna's family released a statement today saying they "are at peace celebrating her extraordinary life and her continued legacy." 

Not only was Donna Summers a music legend but a fashion icon too. Before Kylie and her hotpants was the original disco diva, Donna Summers.  Her wardrobe consisted of the signature 70s style, platforms, bell-bottoms, glitter, sparkle and big hair!   

 Floral print wrap dress, Donna Summer - the style icon!

 Glitter, sparkle and a split to the thigh...Donna had it going on!

 If there's one thing that I love about the 70s was the big hair, glitter and sparkle galore!

If any film directors are thinking of doing a biog of Donna Summer's life, then I think the part should go to Kelly Rowland, the splitting image of the disco diva!

RIP Donna Summer, the Queen of Disco, may your music live on forever!

RIP Whitney Houston

 Whitney Houston in the BodyGuard

One of the greatest singers in the world, Whitney Houston, died in a hotel room in Los Angeles in the early hours of Sunday morning.

There are reports that she was found in her bath tub, underwater and unconscious in the hotel room. 

Whitney as a young artist

One of the world's best selling artists, Whitney sold more than 170 million albums and singles worldwide over the course of her career. She won two Emmy awards, six Grammy awards, 30 Billboard Music Awards and 22 American Music Awards along the way.

But like most celebrities these days, her talent and beauty, were overshadowed by years of drug addiction and spots in and out of rehab.

Many stars left tributes on Twitter and spoke publicly at the Grammys held last night in Hollywood and Baftas in London. But the best tribute was by Barbra Streisand who said:-

"She had everything, beauty, a magnificent voice. How sad her gifts could not bring her the same happiness they brought us." 

 Whitney and her 18 year old daughter, Bobbi Kristina.

Whitney leaves her only child, a daughter with Bobby Brown, Bobbi Kristina.

Whitney Houston was an icon and her voice will always be  remembered for years and years to come.

Rest in peace Whitney, I will always love you!

My favourite Whitney album and cover - true beauty and talent that can't ever be replaced!
