Birds of a Feather Fly Fashionably Together

Keira Knightly and Carey Mulligan at the British Film Festival

What a double dose of lady like loveliness! Although I'm not a fan of her waif appearance, I do love Miss Knightly's style, and Carey Mulligan's quirky, British, girly image, combined with her tomboyish hair, is another winner in my books! So when I saw the two stepping out together at the British Film Festival a couple of weeks ago, expectations were high as to what the glam pair would muster up.

I was not let down. Both girl's looks complimented each other beautifully - mixing an old fashioned colour palette and silhouette, with a modern twist. I absolutely love the yellow of Carey's dress, and the oh-so feminine blouse and fresh of the catwalk Rodarte skirt of Miss Knightly's just work so well together. Carey's dress is the perfect blend of trends that are hot for SS11 - mustard yellow, CHECK, pleating, CHECK, knee length skirt, CHECK!

Give the girls a round of applause, they really do look fab and proudly lead the way for aspiring British fashionistas everywhere.

Now, I can't afford (at the moment) a Proenza Schouler dress or a Rodarte skirt, let alone those YSL heels, so, if you fancy putting together a similar look for yourself, check out the below pieces for a high street inspired get the look!

Running in French Heels




Oh how I love a good pair of shoes. What do I love even more than a good pair of shoes? Roughly 10,000 pairs of shoes!! Fab new shoe website Sarenza has just launched in the UK - they're France's number one shoe website and are bringing a little of that French sophistication to our shores.

Not only will the website keep you browsing in happy bliss for hours (seriously, you'll be up lusting over these shoes all night) but they've also introduced their fabulously wacky High Heel Race to us Brits.

Long story short, sign up to www.highheelrace.co.uk and you could be in with a chance to compete in a High Heel Race grand final in Paris. Not only do the competing teams win a fab girly weekend in Paris, but...drum roll please...the winning team gets £2,500 worth of gorgeous shoes! Not only that, fashion sweetheart of the moment Zara Martin will be there cheering the girls on and spreading her fashion credentials.Worth a possible twisted ankle for? I think so! If that isn't enough to convince you, check out these beauties below, all available on the website www.sarenza.co.uk
