Last week 3 lucky Lipsy and Pixie Lott fans won the chance to meet Pixie and go on a mini Lipsy shopping spree in London! It all started at Lipsy HQ - the girls came to meet up before being taken to a secret location to meet their pop idol. At the last minute the venue was revealed... the amazing Westfield Shopping centre! The Lipsy Westfield store was closed to give the girls the ultimate VIP experience with Pixie and to shop in style.
Next it was time for photos, questions and of course PLENTY of autographs, from CD's to posters and even a photoframe - Adele, Ellie and Gemma most definitely had come prepared! Pixie was on hand to give styling advice to the girls to help them spend their £100 giftcard. In the end the girls picked some amazing new S/S 12 pieces including the beaded collar shirt and the animal body.
Pixie even fitted in time for a spot of shopping; opting for the gorgeous tape pocket jumper - the perfect Spring jumper!

Pixie's a/w Lipsy launch party is a celeb success
Pixie and Lipsy's celeb friends filled up Camden's trendy Gilgamesh bar last week to help our favourite pop star celebrate the launch of her a/w collection.
Having changed out of the pretty lace top smock dress she'd worn for her daytime interviews and PAs, Pixie was party-perfect in her fierce tiger-print bandeau pleat bust dress and vintage-inspired cropped faux fur jacket, accessorising with this season's must-have - the skinny leather belt. We loved how she'd pinned her long wavy hair back to give the illusion of a messy rock-chick bob - a brilliant way to reinvent yourself for a night out!
Among the other celebrities partying in the VIP area were Mollie King, Jade Ewen, Konnie Huq, Dionne Bromfield, Chipmunk, Tinchy Stryder, the delicious David Gandy and our favourite new boy band The Wanted, all looking even more gorgeous in the flesh - this was one pretty party!
Danielle Lloyd looked amazing in a body-con bandage dress, having snapped back into shape after giving birth just a few months ago, and we also caught up with the stunning Lucie Jones, who was singing the praises of Lipsy dresses.
Pixie said that it had been a "dream come true" to design her own fashion range and thanked all of those at Lipsy who had helped make it happen. However, having been involved in the creative process from drawing board to finished collection, it's us that should be thanking Pixie, so we presented her with an award to recognise the success of her best-selling s/s ranges.
For the rest of the evening the cocktails flowed, the pick 'n mix went down a treat and we did what Lipsy girls do best - partied into the early hours!

Shop the new Pixie collection now!
Following the success of her best-selling debut fashion ranges earlier this year, Pixie is back with her a/w collection, exclusive to Lipsy! "I'm having such great fun turning my style ideas into an actual fashion range so am really excited to be launching my second collection," Pixie says."This time I've taken style inspiration from some of my favourite style icons like Briget Bardot and Edie Sedgwick and what I love to wear out with my friends."
The 25-piece collection is again made up of two distinct ranges, this time 'Pixie Rocks' and 'Pixie Party'. And judging by the success of her s/s10 party dresses, you'll be pleased to know that there are loads more night-out pieces to choose from! In-keeping with this season's top catwalk styles, Pixie has kept the colour palette in her collection simple, with intricate detailing adding interest.
Pixie Rocks
Pixie Rocks is the perfect capsule wardrobe for those who love their look tough but trend-led: The studded biker and shaggy fur jacket will reinvent any outfit, and stud, lace and chain embellishments add edge to some party-perfect pieces. Our favourites from the range have to be the vintage-style sequin crop top, chain-detail halter and sexy black lace playsuit. There are some fab chiffon and lace day dresses too - just add rock-star style with knee-highs, layered accessories and statement jacket!
Pixie Party
Whilst still drawing heavily on the classic style achieved with simple black and white pieces, Pixie Party injects a few wilder pieces into the collection with a fierce animal print bandeau number and a bold asymmetrical graphic print dress. Delicate embellishments, lace detail and drape and ruched effect make for some stunning LBDs - and LWDs - and the neutral and nude prom dresses will be just perfect for those Christmas parties!
Pixie's love of all things vintage has also been translated into the cream faux fur jacket, which would glam-up any outfit.
Style insider picks
We caught up with those in the industry know at our Pixie Press Day to find out which pieces the fashion professionals are lusting over from the new range:
Lottie Rose, freelance fashion assistant: I love the nude feather-detail dress from Pixie Party and the jumpsuit and cropped sequin top from Pixie Rocks - I'd wear the top with high-waisted shorts.
Natasha Guiotto, fashion assistant, Cosmopoliton: The Pixie Rocks range is more my style - I really like the leather jacket and fringing details.
Tor Brierley, fashion blogger: I love the lace-up black bodycon dress and the fur jackets. It's really good quality faux fur.
Charlotte Pennington, fashion manager, Cosmopoliton: The cream and black shift dress is lovely. I'd wear it with leggings and heels.
Kat Perriam, clubbing editor @ ibizacalling.com: I love the Pixie Rocks range, especially the studded leather jacket which would be the perfect piece to add edge to a cute little dress.
Victoria Pindar, sales executive, Cosmopolitan: My favourite piece is the bandeau animal-print dress, which I'd wear with killer heels and a faux fur jacket.

Pixie previews her new collection in Broken Arrow video
Channelling the 1970's boho vibe highlighted as one of this season's
top trends, Pixie Lott rocks a shaggy fur jacket from her a/w10 Lipsy
collection in the video for new single 'Broken Arrow'.
Taking design direction from the likes of Chanel, D&G and
Burberry Prorsum, Pixie's fantasy fur jacket is bang on trend and a
real statement piece. We're expecting it to fly to the top of our
best-seller list, so make sure to snap yours up quickly when the collection launches on 28 September!
Pixie continues with the 70's theme throughout the video, going for
gorgeous Hollywood glamour in a wide-brimmed floppy hat, pearl-detailed
black swing jacket and her favourite - the vintage cream shift dress.
As usual she gets the accessorises just right with over-the-knee socks
- we certainly haven't seen the last of this trend - and her trademark
layered jewellery.
There's also plenty of romantic nudes and chiffons on show,
in-fitting with the heartfelt nature of the ballad as well as the
season's most-hyped styles.
And with natural, glowing make-up and glossy hair, Pixie looks as
though she's walked straight off the a/w10 catwalks and into the video
shoot - truly a girl with her finger on the fashion and beauty pulse!
Broken Arrow is out on 11 October, ahead of the release of the
re-packaged edition of Pixie's hit debut album 'Turn It Up (Louder)' -
can't wait for this! Oh, and our favourite pop princess has been
nominated in the Best Female Artist category for the 2010 BT Digital Music Awards, so don't forget to vote!

Pixie Lott on her new collection, celebrity friends & plans for the summer
Congratulations on the success of your first collection with Lipsy. Are you happy with how the collection was went?
Yes I'm really happy with the success of the first collection. I think it's amazing to see girls out & about in my clothes. I was in Hyde Park at a Stevie Wonder concert the other day and I saw a girl in my Pom Pom dress and denim waistcoat, I went over to the girl and was like 'wow, you look amazing!' The girl was shocked, it was cool!
Is it strange to see other celebrities in your clothes?
I love it, and I think it's cool to see celebrities showing support towards celebrity clothing lines.
You performed at 'T4 on the Beach' on Sunday, how do you think the performance went? And who did you enjoy seeing at the festival?
T4 on the Beach was great, the crowd were lots of fun and I always enjoy watching Dizzee Rascal. Dizzee's was my favourite performance of the day.
You gave us our very first preview of one of the new pieces from you're A/W collection at T4 on the Beach and we loved it! The playsuit was gorgeous, when can we buy our own?
I absolutely love the playsuit from my new collection. The backless detailing is so sexy and the design allows me to dance & move around easily which is important for me when I'm performing on stage, I like to be comfortable in what I'm wearing. The studded detailing adds a great rock chic edge, and I added gold necklaces to accessorise. I wear chains with everything! The new collection is available at the end of September, I can't wait!
You were recently on a UK tour with Rihanna, how was it to support Rihanna? Were you nervous and did you get any good tips?
Yeah the tour was lots of fun! Rihanna is really friendly and a lovely girl, so I wasn't nervous I was more excited. Rihanna is talented and works very hard, it's paid off for her, so that has inspired me to work harder.
Have you made any celebrity friends whilst performing at the festivals this summer?
You get friendly with most of the artists as we're in the charts together and all tend to hang out together backstage at festivals, it's cool to hangout.
Who's the most famous person in your mobile phone?
Ahhh I'm not sure, I lose my phone a lot, let me see...(Pixie gets out her Blackberry)...I've got Chipmunk, Diana Vickers, Frankie & Rochelle from The Saturdays, Daniel & Natasha Bedingfield, Joe Jonas, Tinie Temper, Louise Spence, Marvin from JLS, Jason Derulo, and Professor Green but I lose my phone a lot so I've lost some numbers!
How was it working with Jason Derulo on your new album, we love him at Lipsy HQ, what's he like?
Jason Derulooooo! He's lovely, he's such a talented guy and very professional, I learnt a lot from him.
What are your plans for the summer?
Besides festivals, I'm going back to America to work and then I'm going on a girls holiday with friends.
Do you have any holiday essentials?
My holiday essentials are definitely sunscreen, my Raybans and my new Lipsy bikini's and Lipsy beach bag.
And what's your 2010 summer anthem?
It's got to be Jason Derulo Riding Solo, 'I'm putting on my shades to cover up my eyes...'

SPOTTED: Celebs in Lipsy
Which celebs have been putting their own spin on their favourite Lipsy items this week?
Pixie Lott was spotted in her white backless lace dress and bleached denim shirt dress - loving the layering - finishing off the boho look with a floral headband and long necklaces.
It seems that The Saturday's Mollie King is also loving the LWD (little white dress) trend. The songstress was papped looking summery in our Wrapover Ric Rac Bow Dress and Suede Waterfall Jacket at a recent celeb event this week.

And Pixie's not the only celeb who's loving her new Lipsy-exclusive ranges. The Pussycat Doll's Kimberly Wyatt recently rocked the oversized animal print dress with a faux fur jacket, biker heels and studded cuff - the perfect outfit to suit her fierce shorn haircut.
While Lipsy may be famous for party dresses, it's clear that the celebs also love our other ranges. Newly-brunette Tulisa from N-Dubz was spotted relaxing backstage at the GMTV studios in a Lipsy logowear tracksuit.

Pixie's festival favourites
When we caught up with Pixie Lott recently she was tres excited about playing V Festival this summer. "I'm playing main stage this year and V's the festival that's nearest to my house so all my friends go," she enthused. "I went two years ago and camped with all my friends and had no idea I'd be performing there the next year and this year to be playing the main stage is great!"
Pixie's been to so many festivals she's a pro at packing, whittling it down to the bare essentials."You need dry shampoo, baby wipes, little snacks and you can't take glass so you have to take a wine box," she said.
And when it comes to festival fashion, the pop princess is all about practical style: "You've definitely got to take wellies and an umbrella and a couple of dresses - go wearing one and pack one in your bag."

Pixie, Selfridges and Turn It Up...
Pixie Lott managed to squeeze some time out from her busy UK tour with Rihanna yesterday to unveil her amazing new clothing collection for Lipsy at Selfridges in London.
Before the photocall at Selfridges, Pixie stopped off at Lipsy HQ to say a quick hello and prep herself for the appearance. Our favourite pop-princess looked super-stylish choosing to wear her cobweb back maxi dress from the collection and signature pillar-box red lipstick. Love the look Pix!
Whilst at Lipsy HQ we chatted with Pixie about how much fun she was having on tour with Rihanna at the moment and how uber excited she was for the release of her fifth single 'Turn It Up', the title track of her debut album...yet another great single from the album! We've already downloaded the single and are practising the dance routines here in the Lipsy office! Buy Pixie's album 'Turn It Up' today by clicking here!

Exclusive Pixie Lott celebrity launch party!
After the Pixie Lott Bluewater store appearance we headed back to Lipsy HQ to get ready for the exclusive launch party at Movida nighclub in London, and after much fake-tanning, hair straightening and applying of eyelashes we were ready to roll. Here come the Lipsy girls!
Sassy songstress Pixie performed an intimate soulful set, including a medley of The Strokes, The Killers and Ce Ce Peniston, as well as her hits 'Cry Me Out' and 'Mama Do' with just an acoustic guitar - and her enthusiastic friends and family - for backing. Her voice was amazing and she was obviously thrilled at how the collection had turned out, thanking Lipsy for the opportunity to turn fashion designer before telling the packed crowd: "see you on the dance floor!".
Pixie looked stunning in the animal print dress and wasn't the only celeb celebrating the new collection in Lipsy. Kara Tointon opted for VIP in the bandeau disc dress and Tina O'Brien, Stacey Solomon and Louisa Lytton all embraced the monochrome trend in the sequin-stripe drop hem vest, strapless spotted dress and front-zipped drape skirt dress. We also spotted The Saturdays' Frankie chatting to fans, Calum Best and The Bill's Ali Bastian checking out a number of Lipsy VIP dresses!
What a night and what a collection! We can't wait to see what Pixie has up her sleeve for autumn/winter!

Pixie loves Lipsy- Exclusive Lipsy Bluewater store appearance!
When Pixie launched her debut fashion range for Lipsy we had to celebrate in style, which meant a day and night of parties!
First stop was the Lipsy Bluewater store appearance in Kent, where Pixie officially launched her debut clothing collection for Lipsy. Wearing her favourite white pom-pom dress, Pixie cut the ribbon around her two collections - Festival and Party - and signed autographs for hundreds of fans who had queued for hours to meet their favourite pop star.
Our Facebook competition winner Rhiannon Lawson and friend loved Pixie's sundresses and said that they're looking forward to seeing her perform at the V Festival this summer, no doubt wearing some of the pieces. Lipsy had a fair few fans in the queue too. Devon Durrant, 14, was already modelling the denim bead-embellished waistcoat, and was clutching her Pixie printed vest top with pride. "She comes in here every weekend," said her mum "she loves Lipsy".
As usual Pixie had brought along family for support, this time in the form of her brother Stephen, who told us that he enjoys hanging out with his little sister when he's not at university studying Economics. But he added that Pixie's fame does come at a price: "Once the press they were following the car whilst I was driving Pixie somewhere and they nearly drove me off the road," he said. "In the end we just stopped at a garage and let them get their shot".
After all the madness and a hugely successful day, we left Pixie to relax and unwind for a couple of hours before we got the party started at London nightclub Movida, for a star-studded celebrity bash!

My night with Pixie and Lipsy
Yasmin King reports back from the Pixie loves Lipsy launch party:
Last week I was lucky enough to be Lipsy's competition winner and got to head down to London's exclusive Movida nightclub for the Lipsy/Pixie launch party!!
The club had been decorated floor-to-ceiling with huge Pixie posters, glittery Pixie/Lipsy love-hearts covered the walls and best of all, Pixie's new gorgeous party and festival line was displayed.
After taking in the buzzing atmosphere and meeting up with some of the Pixie crew for a few photos, we headed to the bar to take full advantage of the free fruity cocktails they had to offer, lush!!
A drink or two later we were informed that Pixie was due to perform any minute!! In an excited frenzy, we headed down to the stage to get the best views. Pixie sung two of her hit singles 'Cry Me Out' and 'Mama Do' as well as some wicked covers! She really is so talented and definitely knows how to get a party going!
Hours packed-full of fun went past too quickly! We danced all we could dance, and even managed to get to meet pixie and had a few pics :) With camera in hand, full of wicked memories, we decided to head off home.
The night was amazing, something I will remember forever! Thanks to all at Lipsy for a wicked night that will most definitely be hard to beat!

Sneak peeks at the Pixie Lott collection!
With just one week to go until the launch of Pixie Lott's exclusive Lipsy range, it seems that the fashion mags are just as excited as we are! Fashion editors have been piling praise on Pixie's design efforts, as well as getting under the style skin of Miss Lott herself.
Introducing the range in Look magazine, editor Ali Hall called Pixie's line "as catchy as her songs".
The high-street fashion bible went on to pick out Pixie's maxi dress, party range, denim shorts and a couple of cute sun dresses as its favourite pieces, writing: "The floral frocks and bleached denim are perfect for layering up and make a cute capsule camping wardrobe".
More!'s executive style director Sophie Stevens was also taken with the peacock-embellished denim pieces, saying that "the Festival collection has all the key looks".
.jpg "Pixie Lott Lipsy collection")
"It's the perfect boho and rock mix, which is Pixie all over," she said. "In contrast, her party collection is very girly glam with sexy animal prints - but it still has the signature rock edge Pixie's known for."
Pixie told the magazine that she took a hands-on role in the design process, even bringing in her mum's vintage white dress and copying it for one of the pieces. She also named Sienna Miller and Alexa Chung as her style icons, saying: "They always look really cool and I like their understated glamour."
Pixie will be making a personal appearance at our Bluewater store at 4pm on 28 April to unveil her Festival and Party collections - get their early as we're expecting a big crowd. And to celebrate the lead-up to the launch, we're giving away some amazing Pixie prizes on our Facebook page every day this week!

Pixie Lott talks to Lipsy
Walking barefoot around Kensington Roof Gardens in a floaty white dress, it's obvious that Pixie Lott is ready for summer when we catch up with her, perhaps because she's just back from shooting her 'Pixie Loves Lipsy' collection in Spain's warmer climes. "It was amazing to go to Marbella and be in the sunshine," Pixie enthuses. "I loved doing the festival stuff as the makeup was a bit crazy. I also love accessories, so we had fun with scarves and hats and I took a creative role in the way I looked."
Pixie talks style
Having started wearing Lipsy at a young age, Pixie knows that "when girls look for something to wear on a weekend, they go to Lipsy" and feels that her collection sums up her style perfectly.
"The collection is very me and that's why it was great to do the two looks - festival and party - as I love festivals and I love going out. It's good for people looking for something to wear over the summer and for the weekends."
Pixie describes her style as "vintage-inspired with a mix of contemporary fashion and designer", and the collection is just as eclectic, with her favourite pieces spanning current trends. "I really like this white pom-pom dress as it's vintage-looking, so I'll definitely be wearing it at the festivals this year. I also love the red and black lace bodice party dress which I'd wear out on a Friday or Saturday night. "Then there's the white lace backless dress - I love any kind of backless style and I think a lot of my friends will like that as well," she adds.
Pixie talks make-up
Sitting cross-legged, and happy to have pictures taken with fans within the Lipsy family, it's clear that Pixie is one laid-back pop star - so much so that she tells us it takes her just 30 minutes to get ready for a night out! "If I have half an hour, I can do that definitely - it just depends how much time I have. If it's two hours, it can take that long too. "However long you have, if you're doing smoky eyes you have to do that before you do your base and cheeks because it can get messy and you don't want to have to start over."
Pixie talks music
With two number-one singles under her belt, as well as a platinum-selling debut album, it's hard to believe that Pixie is still just 19. If she wasn't one of the country's favourite pop stars, she says would still be at Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts with her friends, singing, dancing, acting or "doing anything entertainment-focused". "You've got to be an opportunist in this game," she says. "If you want it you have to go for every audition, every opportunity. "I used to scour the internet and papers all the time. But I think if you have the right dedication and persistence you'll get there."
Pixie talks men
With a stunning look, amazing talent and fun-loving personality, it seems that Pixie could have any man she chose, so who would that be? "I don't have any unusual celebrity crushes," she smiles coyly. "It's just the usuals like Rob Pattinson and Ashton Kutcher, but I bet everyone says that!" And what would you do if you met them? "I don't know actually," she laughs. "Say 'hi'?" With this it becomes clear that even gorgeous pop stars can get a bit star-struck and giggly at times, and it's this down-to-earth attitude that makes Pixie one of our favourite celebs. We can't wait to get our hands on the pieces in her exclusive Lipsy collections!
The 'Pixie Loves Lipsy' festival and party ranges will be available in stores and online from late April.

Pixie Lott shoots Lipsy collection
Not even grey skies could dampen Pixie Lott's enthusiasm for her new Lipsy collection as she worked the camera on last week's shoot. We thought Marbella would be a safe bet for a bit of sun but the fashion gods must have been out of earshot as Pixie modelled her trademark 'festival' and 'party' looks in the Spanish city.
With the collections launching in late April we don't want to spoil the surprise by letting you in on the Pixie pieces just yet, but these pics give you an idea as to the feel of the festival range. Pixie loves white sun dresses and Americana waistcoats!
She also fell for our stud-detail biker wellies - just how cool can you get? We're expecting these to be a big hit with the 'Brit' girls - paired with denim hotpants of course - during festival season so make sure you snap them up before the celebs do.
If you're gagging for more Pixie previews, stay tuned for our behind-the-scenes video from the shoot, coming soon!
