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...'

Sneak peek of NEW Pixie Lott collection at T4 on the Beach
Pixie Lott gave fans a sneak peek of her new Lipsy collection at T4 on the Beach last weekend. Our favourite pop princess paired the black lace playsuit she's designed exclusively for Lipsy, featuring cute Eighties' bow detail, with layered necklaces and a Hawaiian garland to perform at the Weston-super-Mare festival.
Pixie sported her signature boho plaits and biker boots for a typically high-energy set, which saw her treat the crowd to hits such as Mama Do, Girls and Boys and Cry Me Out.
With Pixie's upcoming Lipsy collection available from late September, you don't have to wait long for the new looks. But if you really can't hang on, get similar star style by pairing a black lace dress with the Lipsy logo padlock necklace or bird layer necklace - now just £5 each - and Lipsy black wellies.

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!

Pixie Festival
The Pixie Festival collection boasts must-have pieces in the season's top trends, so there are a fair few denim pieces, little white dresses and rock chic printed vest tops - one even featuring an exclusive print of Pixie herself! And it wouldn't be spring/summer 2010 without a must-have maxi dress and floral print sun dress.
Pixie's look is all about layering and accessorising, so throw the denim-cropped or black-studded waistcoat over the studded skirt 2 in 1 dress or a boho vest top and shorts combo - the black lace hot pants are just gorgeous - and wear with layered necklace and indie headbands.
The perfect glamping capsule wardrobe!
Pixie Party
Perfect for nights out, the Pixie Party range reflects Pixie's girly glam side and comprises half ice-cream pastels and half sexy wild-child dresses! The pink chiffon cut-out dress and white beaded tier dress are bound to appeal to the more feminine Lipsy girls, while Pixie's black and red leopard-print lace bodice dress and brown leopard dress ooze high-fashion sophistication.

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!
The wait is nearly over girls!

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!
