Girl Crush - Whitney Port

I am not ashamed to admit that I watched and looooooved The Hills. I found it such fun TV to watch, and while everyone fell in love with Lauren Conrad, I was smitten straight away with Whitney Port. She came across immediately as genuine, kind and just really watchable - I so wanted to be her friend!

Even as the series went on and she became a bigger and bigger part of the show, she still remained exactly the same as episode one. When she got an even bigger break and landed her own show, The City, she remained true to who she was, and I fell even more in love!

Now, Whitney Port is not only a bonafide reality star, she is also a fashion designer with her own label, and, she is now the new judge on Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model. Again, not ashamed to admit that I am a fan of the Next Top Model series, but the British version always seemed to lack the glossy edge of its American cousin, but now, with Whitney on the judging panel, Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model is set to be huge!

I watched the first episode last night, and, along with other new judge Tyson Beckford (yummy), Whitney came across as knowledgeable, super stylish and confident, without being arrogant.

Now, Whitney has got an amazing spread in the August issue of Cosmopolitan, where she looks every inch the amazing star that she is.

What do you think of Whitney Port? Are you a fan of the reality slash fashion star? Enjoy x

Disney Royalty Grace the World's Best Magazine Covers

For those who know me, you'll know that I am a huge fan of Disney. I know practically every Disney animated film by heart and, along with my cousin Lucie, we can kick anyone's butt at Disney trivial pursuit!

Anyway, with Disney and fashion being two loves of my life, it was only obvious that when the Tumblr Petite Tiaras decided to put iconic Disney princesses, including Cinderella, Snow White, Tiana, Jasmine and Pocahontas, on the covers of some of the world's best magazine covers; Elle, Vogue, Vanity Fair, Cosmo etc, that I would be all over that!!! The cover stories even reflected the princess's stories. Well now Petite Tiara has done it again with the Disney Princes, who have taken on the likes of GQ, National Geographic and Esquire. How amazing! Prince Charming, Beast, John Smith and Eric rock as male cover stars!

If only all magazines could feature these animated hotties, my life would be complete. I've put the images below, maybe Condé Nast will get some inspiration...enjoy x

H&M is Favourite for Fashion for Students!

It wasn’t that long ago that I was a uni student, indulging in take aways, up all night with mates, sleeping in instead of going to lectures…ahhh…I do miss those days!

Because of my uni days nostalgia, I love keeping up to date with Studentbeans.com – a website dedicated to all things studenty! The website have just announced the winners of their annual “Beanies” awards, which recognises student’s favourite brands, retailers and entertainment of 2011. The winners were voted for solely by uni students, and I was really interested to see which fashion brand they would vote as their number one!

The Beanie went to…H&M! A fabulous choice! It seems that high fashion and low prices are key for students, with most agreeing that designer collaborator, H&M, is the best fashion store of them all. I have to agree. H&M really is my favourite high street shop. I always find something and always leave wanting to buy more, and the fast turn around means that the shopping experience changes every time. In fact, I think I’m going to head there at lunch time to pick up a Christmas day outfit!

The Beanies are set to become an annual event, gauging the tastes of this important group of trendsetters.

If you want to know what other shops/restaurants/music are top of student’s lust list, here is the full list of winners:

Best restaurant - Nando's
Best bar chain - Weatherspoon
Best fashion retailer - H&M
Best magazine - Cosmopolitan
Best newspaper - The Guardian
Best app - Angry Birds
Best film - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2
Best programme on TV - The Big Bang Theory
Best album - Adele, 21

What do you think? Would H&M get your vote for high street favourite?
