Jessica Hart is my new celebrity style crush. The Australian model runs a fashion blog, updating it daily on what shes wearing. She also includes photos from her wordly travels as life as a model. She is even starting her own line called Neon Hart.
Claudia & Karl
Karl Lagerfield & the original supermodel, Claudia Schiffer have been a collaborative pair for many years & they have now released a photographic book, dedicated to themselves & the work they have presented in the fashion photography industry. There are 6 different covers to choose from & the books includes many photographs of Schiffer throughout the decades of her modelling career, takem by Karl of course. Claudia's career has spanned many years, starting in the late eighties with other familiar faces including Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford & Naomi Campbell.
Kurt Geiger
Kurt Geiger have released these adorable bunny-print platforms on par with the brilliance that is Miu Miu. At £130 they are quite pricey but they can transform any plain jane outfit & they are bang on trend.
The Clash
A big trend for this summer is the clashing of patterns, colours, texture & materials.. & just being kookier & quirkier than ever before. Designers, stylists & general fashionistas are daring to be different & playing dress up with bolder & brighter clothes. Take note from Henry Holland who in his last few collections, has stayed true to his fun & playful aesthetic. For his most recent, he took inspiration from downtown New York & his collection was sporty but sexy.

s/s09
Marina Diamandis & MIA demonstrate this summer eccentric look perfectly & reference designers such as Cassette Playa & Noki for inspiration. Namalee Bolle is also a great influence, she is editor of nu-rave magazine Super Super & muse to Basso & Brooke.
I love this editorial from Cooler magazine which showcases a sporty streetwear style, whilst clashing colours & prints much like Henry Holland for summers biggest trend. I love the icecream coloured lipstick too!
Marchesa
The Marchesa AW10 collection is flawless. Designer Georgina Chapman was inspired by the performer and courtesan Lola Montez whilst she travelled in search for love & she used floaty feathers, beading & LOTS of lace! Marchesa dresses are the ultimate prom dresses, they're beautiful & jaw-dropping. Clients include Hollywoods hottest including Jessica Alba & Anne Hathaway.
Freestyle magazine
I recently saw this editorial on Grace Woodward's blog- the fiery stylist on the new series of Britains Got Talent. She styled this shoot for the circular magazine 'Freestyle' & I'm in love with the results- shot by Julia Kennedy. She concentrated on nudes & reds a la Givenchy, both popular colour trends for this summer.Grace has style Florence & The Machine as well as working for The Sunday Times supplement magazine, Style, Elle & Nylon.
Robert Cavalli
His campaign for his AW10 collection, for which he was inspired by the 'rich, hippie' look. Pieces were structured & romantic but also appeared rustic & antique.
Dior
Hail John Galliano & his film noir theme for Dior. Probably my favourite summer collection, his woman was based on femme fatale with Hollywood waves & red painted lips. Galliano showed seductive lingerie pieces, concentrating on the underwear as outerwear trend, but ended with flirty playsuits and stunning embellished chiffon gowns.
David Koma
David Koma is new to the industry but is making a big impression nonetheless since winning the Harrods Design Award with his 2009 MA graduate collection from Central Saint Martins. I love his AW10 collection, in which he has used bold graphic zig-zag patterns and metal encrusted dresses, whilst still keeping his body-conscious aesthetic. You may recognise Koma's work as THAT dress that Cheryl wore on last years X-Factor... 
...where he created shape and structure out of whirls and swirls around the torso, neck and hips. Other clients have included top female artists such as Beyonce, Alica Keys, Lady Gaga & Rihanna and he has stated that the women who wear his creations are'powerful and confident'.
Topknot
I love this hairstyle for the summer- the messy topknot. Alber Elbaz used it for Lanvin' brilliant SS10 collection, teamed with glamourous cocktail dresses to give that sophisticated edge. It's the perfect do for this years hot weather & simple to achieve.
Rinascimento Blazer
Like most, I'm completely obsessed with MTV's The City & even more obsessed with their style. I recently saw Olivia Palermo wearing a navy blazer with cream tubing in one of the episodes (teamed with a floral skirt & vest) & it has stayed firmly in my memory. Despite stalking search engines & being unable to find an image of her outfit, http://www.eighty7.com/ have a similar design in cream for just £55 by Rinascimento.
Lovebox
Lovebox was this weekend & its performers dressed nothing less than normal. The festival held in Victoria Park saw Paloma Faith, Peaches and Grace Jones pull out all the stops in the costume stakes. Paloma looked amazing in a velvet green dress & gold oversized fan-hat. Grace Jones won hands down though, changing her costume & headwear (from Phillip Treacy) between every song. I also recently saw her on The Jonathon Ross Show & loved the hooded dress that she wore.
New designer Noki also held a fashion show inbetween the music acts. He is really talented, he makes one of a kind pieces.. re-worked from second hand garments to create ethical pieces. Lady Gaga is a fan of his work and a few of his creations have appeared in her music videos including a mickey mouse mask in 'Manifesto'.
Trends
Stephanie Pratt & Lo Bosworth from hit tv series 'The Hills' both stepped out wearing nautical-inspired outfits recently. Stripes & shorts are both popular for this season & this trend is always transcends from summer to summer. Shorts were popular with many designers for this season including Karl Lagerfield, Valentino & Prada & they are the best way to show off your legs this summer.
Also following my post on the LWD, Daisy Lowe and Jaime Winstone stepped out for the Acne Studio launch party wearing theirs teamed with Acne black wedges & biker boots. I love Daisy's floor length dress & the way that she has toughened it up with biker boots, a quilted Chanel bag & messy hair.
