Lindsay Lohan


Lindsay Lohan is an American actress, pop singer and model. She began her career as a child fashion model before making her motion picture debut in Disney's 1998 remake of The Parent Trap at the age of 11. Lohan gained further fame between 2003 and 2005 with leading roles in the films Freaky Friday, Mean Girls and Herbie: Fully Loaded, subsequently appearing in independent films including Robert Altman's A Prairie Home Companion and Emilio Estevez's Bobby.




Her career was interrupted in 2007 as two driving under the influence incidents and three visits to rehabilitation facilities led to the loss of several movie deals. Resuming her career, she guest starred in the TV series Ugly Betty in 2008, starred in the 2009 comedy Labor Pains, and appeared in Robert Rodriguez's Machete in 2010. Lohan launched a second career in pop music in 2004 with the album Speak and followed up with A Little More Personal in 2005. She has attracted significant publicity, particularly surrounding her personal life.

Forget Paris and London... Essex Fashion Week is the place to be for Only Way Is Essex stars Jessica and Lydia

By Daily Mail Reporter

Over the past two months, we've seen next season's styles on show at Fashion Weeks in Paris, Milan, London and New York.

But hoping to join the list of the world's most fashionable destinations is the Home County of Essex.

Castmembers from The Only Way Is Essex made the leap from reality stars to models today as they showcased some Spring/Summer designs on the catwalk.


Burgeoning fashionista Lydia Bright and pop star Jessica Wright both sashayed down the runway at the Fairlop Waters Golf Club in Ilford.

Bright, who dates co-star James 'Arg' Argent, modelled a string of designs for New Look, Chelce Hall swimwear and also local store Cherie's Boutique in Ongar.

Wright - the long-suffering older sister of lothario Mark Wright - didn't even know she would be modelling until a last minute phonecall this morning from the New Look PR.

Writing on her Twitter, Jessica said: 'Had most last minute random day! Sarah Jane Baynes (New Look PR) calls this morn' can I model for New Look today, did it and now had a few drinks, feeling tipsy.'

While fashions come and go, it's easy to assume fake tans, hair extensions and French manicures will always be in style in Essex.

On the catwalk today there was plenty of spray-tanned flesh on show as some of the models wore skimpy bikinis and shorts.

Bright, 20, Tweeted she was feeling nervous and steadied her nerves with a glass of wine.

She said: 'James is calming me down with a glass of Pinot before my second walk for Cherie Boutique.'

For the finale of the catwalk show, Bright wore a flamboyant clingfilm dress and Tweeted: 'Now that's what I call a finale loved being a model for the day got that passion for fashion.'

Also on the catwalk was Sugar Hat bar worker Candy Jacobs, who also appears in the TV show.

Lauren Goodger helped Essex Fashion Week CEO Adam Ryan organise the inaugural Essex Fashion Week last autumn.

Viewers of the first series of the ITV2 show famously saw her snub love rival Lucy Mecklenburgh from taking part in the catwalk show - even though her Forever Unique designs had been worn by some of the models.

Goodger further annoyed Mecklenburgh when she asked her then-ex-boyfriend Mark Wright to walk down the catwalk with her - even though they had broken up months earlier.

However, Mark went on to split from Mecklenburgh before Christmas and proposed to Goodger last week - even though they weren't even a couple at the time.

Despite being called Essex Fashion Week, it actually only lasts three days.

Other labels expected to showcase their designs includes Masato, Oooy and Sweet Boy.

Vero Moda Part One

I'm still without laptop; hopefully tomorrow or Saturday, but I really couldn't wait any longer to do this post.

Long lusted after by myself, Vero Moda are opening their London Flagship store on Thursday November 4th, I'm gutted I can't attend myself, but get yourself down to 179 Oxford street to check out the absolutely stunning Autumn/Winter collections and a chance to win a free outfit.



I cannot heap enough praise on Vero Moda and their exquisitely designed clothes which offer impeccable details at affordable prices. I've spent the last week drooling over their A/W look book and have chosen my two favourite looks to share with you as an example of what's in store.





You can find out more about Vero Moda by becoming a fan on facebook and following them on twitter
Not only will you be kept fully up to date, but there is also a chance of winning some fantastic prizes.

I've called this post Part One because the team at Vero Moda were kind enough to send a couple of pieces my way,
and those will be featured asap, or, as soon as I have my laptop back.
For now, I urge you to check out their website and fall in love like myself, and so many others already have.

((apologies for the less than stellar post, this has taken me since yesterday to get posted!))

slower than a slow thing

I still don't have my laptop but, and google reader still won't load on this beast but with a little (lot) of patience I am able to update!
There is little else to do on a cold, rainy Tuesday afternoon.

First up is a couple of recent outfits.

The Cat print jumper dress was a present from my Grandparents and so baggy and comfortable that I want to live in it! It was £25 from New Look

And finally, when I have MY laptop back there are a couple of exciting posts to be done. Here's a little sneak preview of what'll be making an appearence!

For now I highly suggest you follow Vero Moda on twitter and like them on facebook...there are fabulous times ahead.

And that's that for now. I hope you are having a wonderful start to your week and are managing to stay warm and dry. Hopefully I'll be back properly, soon.

Whats your color contrast?

Yesterday, Aishwarya wore a silver Roberto Cavalli gown and teamed it with a blue clutch. The contrast didnt sit well with me. At the same event, Rachel Bilson was seen in an animal print dress which she teamed with a bright reddish-ornage clutch. And that looked gorgeous!! So what are some colors that should never be paired? and when does it seal the deal?? Was I too quick to judge Aishwarya :-)

I love playing with colors but I do keep in mind that (i) there isnt a whole lot already going on with my outfit( ii) I dont overdo the color (iii) the contrast is "soft" and not "harsh"..







So which "pop of color" did you like the best? What color contrasts do you rock in personal life?
