The jumpsuit – fit for all occasions
Posted on July 28, 2014 at 7:47 pm
If you’re looking for a last minute outfit that can suit almost any occasion then we suggest you purchase a jumpsuit. Jumpsuits come in many different styles; you can get long sleeves, short sleeves, strapless, open backed, owl neck… The materials are also quite varied; there are thinner ones to give you a “floaty” effect. Or something with viscous to create a tighter “cat-woman” style outfit!
For something more work appropriate you can buy a simple cotton one, these are very professional looking as long as you pick the right sort, we’re talking a flare trouser bottom, with a loose cowl neck front and high back, cinched in at the middle, paired up with simple jewellery and a nice pair of heals and you’ll be good to go!
For a glamourous party, you can even go with silk, something with a low back, or cut out sections, with diamond earrings and necklace with a lovely pair of heels and a clutch bag.

Funky Weed T shirts: Are They A Fashion Statement Or Exclusively For Weed Smokers?
Posted on June 22, 2014 at 9:22 am
Are you worthy of wearing marijuana t shirts? Probably you are if you are a die-hard fanatic of what weed represent. On the other hand, you will never see the value of wearing any one of these if you’re not a lover of this green plant. You don’t necessarily have to smoke weed to wear a weed t shirt. In fact, most individuals only wear them with varied motives, to make a fashion statement, to attract attention, to make political statement etc.
They are considered straight forward no-nonsense t shirts
When someone wearing a t-shirt with marijuana leaf symbol approaches you, you can’t help but continue staring at them. No doubt there’s something interesting about them, which is why you’re staring at them. A t shirt may have a weed leaf symbol on it, with or without words accompanying the symbol, and is perfectly considered fashionable, except for some stereotypes who may mistake you for a weed smoker.
Standard weed symbols on t-shirts consist of a collection of fresh green leaves representing the shape of a fun, with the middle leaf standing out as the tallest. This symbol may also come in black color as well, not necessarily green.

‘We wanted this campaign to signal a new and confident tone of voice to introduce Autumn,’ says Patrick Bousquet-Chavanne, Executive Director Marketing and Business Development at M&S. ‘Annie was the perfect choice to shoot a campaign of this magnitude. Her unmistakable, signature style, with its truly dramatic aesthetic was exactly what we needed to communicate the essence of the campaign and of the new M&S. Annie’s photography has become synonymous with defining key moments in the history of brands over the years and, as such, we feel that this campaign is the ideal way to illustrate M&S’ move into a new era.’

Instagram Pics Of The Day: Cara Delevingne Celebrates her 21st Birthday With Cross-Dressing Party, Gifts, Cake And Sparkles
Posted on June 13, 2014 at 12:13 pm
On Monday we wished Cara Delevingne a happy 21st birthday and rounded up the highlights from what has shaped up to be a phenomenal year for the British supermodel. Now the blonde star has revealed a glimpse of how she celebrated her milestone birthday and true to form it involved loads of mates, experimenting with fancy dress and pulling a funny face or two to boot.
In an undisclosed location the group of revelers, which included sisters Lizzie and Georgia May Jagger, channeled Cara’s cross-dressing party theme in a selection of sparkly leotards, colourful wigs and fake moustaches. The birthday girl herself wore stars and stripes leggings, a black crop top and a sparkly hooded cloak while Lizzie showed off her figure in a skintight harlequin onesie. In one photo a male friend is seen posing in a dress with slicked back hair.
Unsurprisingly the ever-popular Cara was showered with gifts and posted an image of her pressies wrapped up before she opened them with the caption, “I am so lucky!!” She also shared a special message of appreciation with her pals after the event on Instagram: “Thank you to all my friends for all their love and support and for making my birthday so special, I would be nothing without you! #crossdressing #sparkles #camo #itsbeenemotional.”
Meanwhile Miranda Kerr has revealed images from the forthcoming Pirelli 2014 calendar in which she stars alongside fellow supermodels Helena Christensen, Alek Wek, Isabeli Fontana, Karolina Kurkova and Alessandra Ambrosio. This years edition, which will be released in November, commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Pirelli calendar and was shot by esteemed photographers Patrick Demarchelier and Peter Lindbergh in New York.

Amber Heard Returns To Our Style Radar Wearing All-White Osman
Posted on June 11, 2014 at 7:08 am
Amber Heard in Osman
We have a new style crush here at Grazia Towers as Amber Heard is on a promo tour for her latest flick Paranoia, and has taken with her a perfectly packed suitcase. Johnny Depp appears to be doing good things to her style. Amber has ditched the Wonderbra and platforms and discovered the likes of Michael Kors and Osman. We approve.
Amber is nailing the ‘all white everything’ trend, as last night she wore a white Osman asymmetric skirt with a matching crop top to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s luncheon. Forget bouncy platinum curls, Amber pinned her hair back into a whimsical milkmaid braid ‘do with strands tumbling around her face. It’s effortless but fabulous. We also LOVE the delicate EF Collection jewels gold bangles she wore stacked on her wrist. Perhaps a present from Johnny
Amber Heard’s ‘Paranoia’ wardrobe
The plunging necklines and body-skimming gowns appear to have vanished from Amber’s wardrobe (for now) as her style suddenly seems more elegant. Perhaps this is what happens when you date someone 23 years older
Amber wore a Michael Kors camel and black skirt with Louboutin courts to appear on Jimmy Kimmel. She was also oh so ladylike at a press conference for the film in a classic J. Mendel white dress, with elegant sheer stripes. Keep up the good work Amber.
See Amber Heard’s style shift from body-con to clean seperates in the gallery below…
