Step Out In Style

So, new season means new wardrobe but what about your feet? Unless you’re like my dad who has one pair of sandals, and one pair of black shoes and one pair of brown shoes, chances are you’ll have shoes for different occasions and to go with different outfits. So what should you be ensuring is in your shoe wardrobe this winter? (more…)

Winter Warmers

September 03, 2009 By: Louise Kilburn Category: Fashion

Well it looks like summer is over before it’s begun folks!  I can’t believe it’s September already - where has the year gone?! And we never had the long hot summer we were promised either!!!  What happened to the weather?!  But, am I depressed and discouraged? No? Why not? Because the shops are filling up with all the fantastic autumn/winter fashions - and its my favourite time of year!!  I’m a real cold weather girl! Don’t get me wrong - I love the sunshine as much as the next person but when it comes to fashion my heart belongs to jumpers, scarves, coats and boots!  I love to wrap up warm and get cosy!! (more…)

Dressing Your Beautiful Bump

August 24, 2009 By: Louise Kilburn Category: Fashion, Shopping

As Liz said previously – pregnancy is the style statement of the moment!!  Every time I turn on the TV or open a magazine there seems to be another celebrity who has announced they are pregnant or have given birth.  On the down side that means there is even more pressure for us hectic mums-to-be to look as good as our celebrity mums-to-be, but on the other hand it’s great for people like me who don’t see why style should go out of the window when you’re pregnant.  I’m a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl on my days off, and everyone who knows me would be shocked to see me in floral prints and frills, so when I found out I was pregnant I was horrified at the thought of my wardrobe morphing into a jumble of frumpy tent dresses and smock tops!!

Celebrity baby boom

August 12, 2009 By: Liz McNamara Category: Fashion, Shopping

Every weekly magazine I pick up seems to be bursting to the brim with celebrities who are bursting to the brim with babies! Whilst reading an article in my mag about pregnant Sarah Michele Gellar (aka Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and fellow cast member Alyson Hannigan, I turn on GMTV and see that Clare Nasir, the weather girl, is also blooming.

Kate Garraway is on maternity leave, Penelope Cruz has just annouced that she’s pregnant, Nicole Richie’s little girl is becoming a big sister and Spider Man Tobey Maguire is becoming a dad - I think there must be something in the water! Not to mention our Get The Label fashion guru Louise is due in October.

I think it must be due to all the staying in with the credit crunch but apparently, after reading Celebrity Gossip, “pregancy and babies are all the rage”! Does that mean if i get pregnant next year I’m going to get “Thats sooo last season”?!

Anyway, I just thought I’d pick out some of my favourite celebrity mums and their style because we all know how tricky it can be without making yourself look like a marquee. It seems that showing off your bump is the thing to do - pregnant and proud!
