Win tickets to see JLS, Olly Murs & Tinchy Stryder in concert!
JLS, Olly Murs and Tinchy Stryder will be among the pop superstars performing at The Sunshine Concert on Friday 11 March, and we have two tickets to give away!
All you need to do is visit our Facebook page on Friday 25 February to find out how to enter.
The concert, being held at The Troxy, East London, will raise money for Rays of Sunshine Children's Charity, which grants wishes for seriously ill children in the UK aged 3-18.
Here at Lipsy we're proud to support this great cause and recently donated a cheque for £1,400 from our sample sale, which was used to fulfil the wish of Shannon, a 14-year-old girl living with relapsed Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
Shannon dreamt of going to the National Television Awards so the charity arranged for her, brother Ross, who underwent a bone marrow transplant last year to help his sister, and mum and dad to fly from Edinburgh to London and arrive at the event in their very own limousine.
There Shannon mingled with the stars, meeting Myleene Klass, Konnie Huq and Kerry Katona before being taken to her special box to watch the awards.
Shannon's mum Lynsey said: "It was absolutely fantastic! The whole family had a great time and the seats were amazing! Ross got lots of kisses off the celebrities so he was very happy! It was an absolutely magnificent couple of days."
Earlier this month we also helped make the wish of Sophie, a 16-year-old girl who recently had a heart transplant, come true with a visit to Lipsy HQ.
Sophie's wish is to be a designer, so she spent time in our Design Room, getting a few tips from the experts and finding out how the whole process works. As a complete surprise, she also met Pixie Lott and left very happy with a dress and goodie bag.

Get the look: X Factor finalists
X Factor girls all in Lipsy!
By the time this post goes live, we'll have our new X-Factor champion, but whoever takes the title, this year has been an overall winner in the style stakes (we're choosing to overlook Wagner).
The two gorgeous girls in the final couldn't have more opposing styles - Rebecca is all about Sixties' chic and girly pieces and Cher bold outfits with an urban edge - but they each own their individual looks.
As the singers have both been spotted shopping at Lipsy - Rebecca even modelled for us in Liverpool back in 2008 - we've played stylist to pick out pieces we think could make it into their wardrobes.
Cher
Cher in Lipsy Diamante Skull Hoodie - Buy now!
Cher may have seemed fragile at points throughout this year's show, but she's sure got a strong voice and fierce sense of fashion. A hip hop and rap girl at heart, she loves Eighties-inspired street style - think baggy, bright and bold.
The Miss Sixty tiger print top ticks all these boxes and would make for great day wear, teamed with skinny jeans or leggings and slouch boots. And the edgy chain print cowl neck top and tattoo rose vest would also suit her urban leanings.
For the evening, the sequin-detail stripe cropped top and Killah star-detail one-shoulder dress scream stand-out attitude, just like Cher, and would look fab paired with a tough cropped biker jacket.
And of course Miss Lloyd is rarely seen without an oversized statement bag on her shoulder, so the pink velour Lipsy charm bag would make the perfect accessory.
Rebecca
Rebecca's style is so classy that she seems to be from another era - Sixties' chic is the Liverpudlian lass all over.
Black and neutral shift dresses really suit her sleek look and our Pixie lace smock top, bow detail shift and pleated angle sleeve dress have that vintage vibe down to a tee.
When it comes to party-wear, Rebecca loves girly frills and cute bows, and the pretty pink studded bow detail dress and Ci Ci floral fringe dress would look stunning on her.
As retro-glamour leopard print is huge this season, no doubt we'll see Rebecca keeping warm in a must-have leopard print faux fur coat soon, and our leopard box clutch would help finish off the look in style.
Konnie loves Lipsy too!
Konnie Huq in Lipsy One-shoulder tulip skirt dress - Buy now!
Rebecca and Cher aren't the only X Factor stars to have shown a bit of love for Lipsy of late. The gorgeous Konnie Huq has been spotted in our
one-shoulder tulip skirt dress and wore the to our
embellished front strapless dress Pixie launch party back in September.

Mollie King wears Lipsy in LA
Mollie King was spotted wearing her favourite Lipsy pieces in LA as The Saturdays shot the video for their new single 'Higher' last month.
The girls enjoyed some fun in the sun before getting down to the hard work, indulging in some retail therapy, biking and blading at celeb hotspot Venice Beach, and eating out USA-style - pancakes and maple syrup for breakfast anyone?
Marvin, from JLS, flew out to join girlfriend Rochelle on the trip and will no doubt have been caught on camera by the ever-present film crew of The Saturdays' new ITV2 reality TV series 24/7. We must admit that we're totally addicted to this already - the girls have so much fun, and always do it in style!
In true sun-seeker fashion, Mollie wore our failsafe LWD - the ric rac bow dress - on the beach, and accessorised with her favourite straw hat and a skinny tan belt. Such a cute rollerblading outfit - and with the dress now in the sale for just £30, you can get her look at half the price!
The blonde singer even looked good at the airport, pairing a rock chic vest top with skinny jeans, heeled sandals and our waterfall zipped front jacket. Now that's what we call travelling in style.

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 â€" 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!

Lipsy goes to the Duke of Essex Polo Trophy 2010
Last weekend the Lipsy girls donned their best Lipsy summer gowns and attended The Duke of Essex Polo Trophy for a great day of glamorous sport and lots of celebrity entertainment!
We caught up with celebrity guests including Lipsy pop favourites, Pixie Lott and Stacey Solomon, who both wore Lipsy pieces- Pixie wore Lipsy headband & cut glass ring and Stacey wore Strapless Beaded Pocket Dress, and chatted with stunning models Penny Lancaster and Sophie Anderton. The day included entertainment by Britain's Got Talent winners Diversity, and former Blue member Anthony Costa took to the stage in the evening to perform an intimate medley of our favourite 80's hits- what a day!
Take a look at some of the famous faces who graced the lawns of the Gaynes Park Estate, Essex and partied the night away with the Lipsy girls...

Kimberly Wyatt introduces Lipsy watches
During the shoot we also managed to grab an exclusive interview with the star herself, which you can watch here:
As we kept spotting Kimberley Wyatt out and about in Lipsy, we knew that she would be the perfect ambassador for our new range - Lipsy watches!
Our party dresses are inspired (and in Pixie Lott's case, designed) by the celebs we love, and the same goes for our growing accessories line, so welcome on board Kim!
The former Pussycat Doll brings a fresh and fun rock-chic vibe to the collection -she says that in group she was the 'punk doll' - and loves mixing and matching looks and masculine and feminine pieces, as well as taking inspiration straight from the catwalk.
In her honour our watches range is edgy, diverse and trend-led with gorgeous charm bracelets and diamante bands, cool cuffs, bright chunky pieces and a whole lot of bling to help you make a style statement whatever you're wearing.
The shoot
As Kim's used to working with stunning stage sets when performing and working as a judge on Sky1's hit show Got to Dance, we chose a fun circus theme for our watches shoot and are so pleased with the end results. We just love how she adds rock chic edge to the pretty bandeau bustier dresses with a slick of red lippy, smokey eyes and fierce hair.

Celebs turn out for Esmée Denters party
New pop sensation Esmée Denters proved that her star profile is rocketing as the celebs turned out for her VIP party at Movida last week.
To help the Dutch pop star celebrate the release of Love Dealer, collaboration with Justin Timberlake and the third single from her debut album Outta Here, we threw her a party in true VIP Lipsy style. And it was obvious from the turn-out that the singer's famous following is growing at a very healthy rate.
Since she sang on Chipmunk's top-three-single Until You Were Gone, Esmée is a name on everyone's lips, including those of fellow-singer Eliza Doolittle, up-and-coming R&B artist McLean and Hollyoaks' girls Jennifer Metcalfe and Ali Bastian, who got to know the star better in the VIP area.
Of course the girls were all dressed to impress in Lipsy, with Esmée and Ali loving the futuristic trend in the strapless metallic sweetheart dress and metallic structured body-con dress and Jen rocking the florals in the bow jersey corset - all out soon!
Esmée's set was amazing - Outta Here and Love Dealer have been on repeat in the office since the party - and we even got to chat to the party girl herself, so check out our exclusive interview on the blog and snap up her album now!

Esmee Denters talks to Lipsy
Hi Esmee, lovely to meet you and congratulations on your new single 'Love Dealer' with Justin Timberlake, it's a great summer song, we love it at Lipsy. So what was it like to be discovered by Justin Timberlake, how did it come about?
It was great! I love to play the piano and cover my favourite songs, I'd upload the covers on to Youtube and that's how Justin discovered me. He invited me to one of his concerts and that was when I first met him. It was very exciting!
What's Justin like in person?
Justin is a real humble guy, he's very down-to-earth and a brilliant artist.
You've also worked with Chipmonk, we love Chip Diddy Chip! How was that?
(Laughs) Chipmonk is cool! I found Chipmonk on Youtube and loved his music. I tweeted about him saying how I loved his music and he tweeted back saying that he liked my music, that's how the collaboration came about. It was the perfect collaboration!
Who do you admire in the music industry?
I look up to strong female artists such as Alicia Keys, Beyonce and Madonna; they have definitely influenced me in my career.
Do you have any celebrity crushes?
(Laughs) Hmm, I'd have to say Lenny Kravitz, he's sooo hot...and (laughing) probably the only man who can pull off wearing leather trousers!!
Do you have any fashion tips for Lipsy fans?
I'd say get creative and don't be afraid! I love to wear cute dresses like this Lipsy dress and my killer Gucci heels to add my own flavour. Always do your own thing and have fun with fashion.
What is it that you love about Lipsy?
I love Lipsy, the clothes are so feminine yet funky! The dresses are very beautiful, they fit great and look amazing on. I'm a girl with curves and Lipsy dresses accentuate my best bits!
How would you describe your style?
My style is fun & sassy. I like to mix casual pieces with real funky accessories, I love accessories!
Do you have any tips/advice for Lipsy fans?
Be yourself- don't be afraid to just do it and grab the opportunity. People will always hate, but my advice is to rise above it, focus on being positive, and do what you want to do!
Do you have any plans for the summer?
I'm planning to spend the summer writing new material and focusing on what to do next. I'll also be watching the World Cup final, I'm from the Netherlands who are in the final, and hopefully I'll be celebrating when they win (laughs)!

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.

Glastonbury - get the celeb look
Boho-style ruled supreme at Glastonbury again this year, with celebs championing denim hotpants, waistcoats and summer scarves as the festival staples to be seen in.
Hippy chic Sienna Miller stuck to her signature style, pairing denim cut-offs with a vest top, waistcoat and tough boots. And, on the arm of her model/rock star boyfriend George Craig, Emma Watson made her mark as a new Glasto darling in distressed pocket-detail denim shorts and a classic white sleeveless shirt.
There was also a whole lot of lace on show, proving that the trend is here to stay. Pixie Geldof rocked the edgy yet romantic look in a black lace blazer, worn over vest top and shorts. Team our lace jacket with a body and hotpants for similar 80s-inspired festival style. Or take a leaf out of the gorgeous Jameela Jamil's style book with lace hot pants, a summer scarf and plenty of boho bangles.
While the on-stage Glasto costumes were as theatrical as ever - we're looking at you Florence, Paloma and Kylie - the celebs in the crowd kept it simple.
Choose from our range of denim hotpants and boho waistcoats, pack a few staple vest tops and boho accessories - we're a big fan of hippie hair accessories at the mo - and get set to celebrate like a celeb this festival season!

US superstar Kelly Rowland chats to Lipsy!
How would you describe your style?
I'd describe my style as varied. I tend dress for my mood and love to vary my style from classy to edgy. I like to mix designer with high street brands. I love the British high street and love Lipsy; everyone has such great style in the UK.
What's your most extravagant fashion purchase?
I recently purchased a pair of shoes by Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte which are amazing, however they were rather expensive!
How long does it take you to get ready for a night out?
I normally take around 2 hours to get ready for a night out.
Do you have any fashion tips for Lipsy girls?
Always be comfortable in what you are wearing otherwise it will show.
Do you have any beauty tips for Lipsy girls?
I love false eyelashes and can't leave the house without a pair these days! They've turned into my must-have essential.
Favourite hangout?
When I'm over in the UK I like to party at Movida or Chinawhites.
What are you most looking forward to most this summer?
I'm really excited to travel this summer promoting my new single, 'Commander'.
What are your summer essentials?
I never travel without sunscreen or my bible.
If you weren't a famous singer, what would you be?
A teacher.
Do you have any tips for people you want to get into music?
My tip would be to just go for it, but be aware that the industry isn't as glamourous as it seems and there's a lot of hard work involved. If you want a career in music you have to really work for it and it will pay off in the end.
Do you have a message for the Lipsy girls?
My message for the Lipsy girls is to simply have fun! I don't over-think things in life and I always pray to keep my focus in life.

Get ready for another round of audible swooning, brooding looks and consuming vampire/werewolf lust, as Twilight Eclipse premieres next week! Being closet Twi-hards ourselves, we're getting a bit giggly about it already - we can't wait to see how Edward and Jacob deal with the murderous army of vampires who are indulging their blood lust in Seattle, or how the ultimate love triangle develops!
While we could talk about Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner all day - sometimes we do - we're also developing style crushes on the female stars of the Twilight saga.
Kristen Stewart has really come into her own in the style stakes. While always shimmering and sparkling on the red carpet, her look retains an underlying rock chic edge that was no doubt further inspired by her roll as American rocker Joan Jett in 'The Runaways' earlier this year.
The key to this look is all in the eclectic mixing and matching - be it textures, colours or materials - as well as the less-is-more approach to accessorising and beauty.
Pair our romantic lace body with the tiered mesh skirt and wear with black nail varnish for that glam vamp look. Or make a show-stopping statement in our tri-colour VIP bustier sequin dress, adding edge - Kristen doesn't like to look too prim and proper - with a messy up-do, chunky belt and strappy killer heels.
When it comes to off-duty style, R-Patz's real-life squeeze lives in vest tops and jeans, and has recently been spotted rocking the distressed and double denim trends, with dark shades to finish the lo-fi look.
Anna Kendrick - who plays Bella's friend Jessica Stanley - has also cropped up on our style radar, having been championed by fashion bible Vogue, and named as one of Glamour magazine's 'Faces to watch 2010'.
Anna seems to have two sides of her style personality - nailing classic Hollywood girly glamour in nude and cream fairytale frocks, but also showing that she's also a fun fashionista in colourful trend-led pieces. We love this cream feather bandeau dress and the fierce print on the red number proves that she's a bit of a wild child at heart. Get the look with our VIP sequin bust feather dress and the Pixie lace bodice dress.

Party with Esmee Denters
Haven't heard this name yet? You soon will. Justin Timberlake's protégé Esmee Denters was first spotted by music scouts via Youtube two years ago and has since gone onto release her own album and feature on Chipmunk's top 3 single 'Until You Were Gone'.
Her upcoming collaboration with Mr Trousersnake himself is likely to propel her to mega celebdom and she's certainly been dressing like star while in London - having been spotted shopping at Lipsy, and heading out on the town in her new party dress purchases.
To celebrate the release of Esmee and Justin's single 'Love Dealer', we're holding her a party at Movida and have two sets of three tickets to give away to the exclusive event, as well as some CDs up for grabs! Check out our Facebook page on Monday 28th June for your chance to win!

Tulisa and Rochelle wear Lipsy @ Isle of Wight Festival
Tulisa from N-Dubz and The Saturdays' Rochelle were both spotted in Lipsy as the Isle of Wight kicked off the summer festival season. Tulisa performed on the Big Top stage in the VIP bustier feather dress, while Rochelle toughened up our new one shoulder maxi dress with biker boots backstage.
Speaking before they made their festival debut, The Saturdays' laughed about having to get the ferry over to the island, rather than being flown in by VIP helicopter as headliner Jay-Z had. Rochelle also said that things between her and boyfriend - JLS's Marvin - are going so well that they're starting to look at houses together.
Other highlights from the sun-soaked celeb-fest, which saw Kate Moss let her hair down on a fairground ride and Alexa Chung and Pixie Geldof catch up in a VIP beer garden, included Pink's high-energy acrobatic set and Kayne West's surprise guest appearance for 'Run This Town' with Jay-Z . Loved it!
Were you at the festival? Did you spot any other celebs in Lipsy? Let us know!

Sex and the City 2 - Get the looks
Not since the promise of a newly-buff Taylor Lautner peeling off his shirt in New Moon have we been so excited about a film. We can't wait to do a serious bit of style spotting and catch up with what our favourite NYC girls in SATC2 - two years is too long! But, while the outfits may be different, the fab four are steadfast in their signature styles.
Carrie
The ultimate fashionista, Carrie is always bang on trend and knows exactly how to add cute and girly edge to any outfit. She's loving LWDs and this season's pastel palette in the film - accessorising with summer bling. Go for Grecian chic with our chiffon tiered bandeau dress and Grecian knot hairband. Or pair the net ballerina skirt with a simple body or vest top. Accessorise with a charm bracelet, aviators and this season's 'it' shoe - the clog.
Samantha
Sexy and seductive, Samantha knows how to make the best of her body - by showing it off! It's got to be body-con for this look, and a whole lot of wild child animal print. Go for the figure-hugging ruched lace strappy dress, inspired by Samantha's favourite room - the boudoir - and accessorise with the ring handle snake clutch, hoop earrings and dark sunglasses. And get poolside Sam glam in the gold moulded twist detail bikini.
Charlotte
Ever the romantic, Charlotte's style says a lot about her personality, being timelessly chic and classically feminine. Go for playful prints, girly detail and Jackie O sunglasses. Our tipped ruffle shift dress has Charlotte written all over it, and paired with the bow detail tote bag would make for the perfect garden-party outfit. Oh, and don't forgot the pearls! We can see Charlotte covering up in the oh-so-cute pearl trim cardigan on summer nights.
Miranda
Sleek and sophisticated, Miranda knows what she wants and how to get it, and her style says as much. Pencil skirts, silk blouses and streamlined dresses, this is a straight-talking wardrobe! Team our appliqué lace bow blouse with the lace detail pencil skirt, wear with killer heels and cover up with this season's must-have jacket - the piped belted mac.
Our only qualm about the movie event of the year? Our local big screen doesn't serve Cosmopolitians. But we can't have it all now, can we, and there's always the DVD to watch with the girls...on repeat...

Spotted in Lipsy: Brooke Vincent and Sacha Parkinson at the TV Now Awards
Corrie's Brooke Vincent and Sacha Parkinson, who play Sophie Webster and Sian Powers, shone in Lipsy at the TV Now Awards this week.
Brooke went for the Pixie Lott oversized animal-print dress and black killer heels, while Sacha looked every bit the Grecian goddess in our one-shoulder drape dress, finishing off the look with some strappy studded sandals. Messy-up dos were the order of the night and the stars both accessorised with black and gold bangles.
The girls had a lot to celebrate at the Irish event as Coronation Street picked up the 'Favourite Soap' award and fellow Corrie cast-mates Katherine Kelly (Becky McDonald) took home the 'Favourite Female Soap Star' award. Bill Roache (Ken Barlow) walked off with the 'Soap Legend' title.

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!

Stars in their eyes
The sun has already been spotted this spring so it's time to invest a couple of pairs of sunnies to see you through the season. What celeb style will you be emulating at the festivals and on the beach this summer?
Classic aviators
Cheryl Cole is the queen of style, so of course her favourite cover-ups are the timeless aviators. Light-weight and slick, they're the perfect accompaniment to the staple vest and skinnies look, and when it hots up, swap the jeans for denim cut-offs.
Also spotted on: Rihanna
Shop the look: Go for classic chic in our aviator style rimmed sunglasses.
Oversized owl
Round, oversized glasses have their style roots in the 1970s, which is why retro-lover Nicole Richie is such a fan. The ideal accessory to Nicole's boho look, pair with a maxi dress and floral hippy hairband.
Also spotted on: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen
Shop the look: Try our rose-tinted Lipsy logo sunglasses or neutral logo sunglasses
Chunky and chic
Throughout the summer months Rihanna is rarely seen without a pair of thick plastic-rimmed sunglasses, it's all about the arm-detail. Great with a printed vest top, waistcoat and denim hotpants - think festival folk.
Also spotted on: Paris Hilton, who's even been spotted in a pair of Lipsy sunglasses!
Shop the look: Go glamping in the Lipsy logo printed sunglasses or ring detail sunglasses.

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.

Get the look: Leighton Meester
You just can't help but love Leighton Meester: she's fierce as quick-talking Gossip Girl Blair Waldorf, is one of the hottest New York scenesters around and - as if being an actress and model wasn't enough - is nurturing a blossoming singing career. Her club classic with Cobra Starship, 'Good Girls Go Bad', is one of our favourite party anthems, and in the video Leighton sums up her 'it' girl appeal with trademark cheeky smile, smokey eyes and messy curls - this is one fashionista who knows how to party!
Showing off her fabulous figure, Miss Meester likes to keep it short and adds her own spin to on-trend outfits with a few carefully-chosen accessories. She rocks this graphic print mini with chunky ring and bracelet and goes for a graphic floral print dress that could work day or night, glamming up with a waist-defining belt and mix-and-match bangles. Get the look with our abstract design strapless sweetheart dress and the jersey-top printed skirt dress, and add your own unique edge with a handful of accessories.
Leighton's love of accessories doesn't stop at evening attire: she makes the classic leggings, vest-top and blazer outfit her own with some playful feminine pieces. To emulate Leighton's casual chic, add one of our summer scarves and a cute bag such as the floral hobo or pink bow detail tote to your day-time staples.

Corrie stars join Lipsy for celeb retreat
Coronation Street stars were among those to be treated to a spot of Lipsy pampering at Manchester's Malmaison hotel last week. Kim Marsh, Carley Stenson and Michelle Keegan each took away a bag bursting with spring/summer Lipsy essentials to set them up for the coming season.
The three soap stars seemed glad to be enjoying some girly time away from the gruelling filming schedules the Street has set them of late, but their hard work seems to have paid off.
Michelle's role as Corrie's grieving Tina McIntyre has landed her a nomination for 'Best Actress' in May's British Soap Awards, and she's also in the running to hold onto her title as 'Sexiest Female'.
After all their northern graft, we think they deserved a treat.

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.

90210's Jessica Lowndes parties in Lipsy
Jessica Lowndes, who plays Adrianna Tate-Duncan in hit series 90210, popped into Lipsy HQ to stock up on some party essentials this weekend.
The gorgeous star made the most of her London trip by fitting in some serious shopping and socialising. Having partied at Movida on Friday, she hosted a night at Vendrome on Saturday and accessorised our origami bustier dress with a waist-defining belt, leather jacket and black clutch.
Jessica is the latest in a growing number of US celebs to be spotted in Lipsy, with Paris Hilton, Demi Lovato, The Hills' Kristin Cavallari and Kimberly Wyatt from the Pussycat Dolls all taking Lipsy items stateside.
The American 'it' girls can't get enough of Lipsy party dresses and also seem to be big fans of our logo wear and lace items.

Get the look: Amber Le Bon
Daughter of supermodel Yasmin Le Bon and Duran Duran singer Simon Le Bon, Amber Le Bon has some seriously cool celeb heritage and is emerging as the one to watch on the London fashion scene right now. She's been snapped up by top agency Models 1 and has bagged some high-profile modelling gigs already this year, so expect to be seeing a lot more of this 'it' girl.
What we love most about our newest girl crush is her understated style: At just 20 she oozes class and sophistication, and we've completely fallen for her fresh, laid-back look.
.jpg "Get the look: Amber Le Bon")
She's recently pulled off the pretty prairie trend with a cute Broderie Anglaise dress, bow detail belt and retro curls, and demonstrated her versatility by adding rock-chic edge to a LBD with a zip-detail biker jacket. Pair our wardrobe-staple rainbow Lurex dress with the gold stud leather jacket for a similar look.
But it's not all about the party dresses with Miss Le Bon: She looks tres-cool in a printed vest, harem trousers and a boho long pendent too, and we reckon she's going to emerge as a true style icon at this summer's festivals.

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!
Mon 22 Mar 2010
Get the look: Chloe Sevigny
Actress, designer, and model Chloe Sevigny’s unique style draws on the grunge look, which she helped make cool the first time round as an ‘it’ girl in 1990s New York. But what we love about Chloe’s style is that she manages to pull off masculine pieces whilst retaining an edge of alluring femininity.
Give the girl a tutu and a clutch and she pairs them with statement vests, biker boots and thick-rimmed glasses, maintaining the balance between girly, geek and grunge.
But that’s not the say that Chloe can’t turn up the glamour when required â€" this is a girl who's been in showbiz for well over a decade, remember. At recent red carpet events she’s sparkled in a blue architectural bandeau, gone for full-on feminine charm in a white frill skirt babydoll and proved that her look is current by nailing the top bun, Grecian and nude trends in a floaty one-shoulder number.
Get the look in our strapless reverse sequin dress, VIP wire frill hem dress and bow detail bandeau dress.
Chloe, you have it all sewn up, and we salute you.

Paris Hilton spotted in Lipsy tracksuit
.jpg "Paris Hilton in Lipsy")
It's no secret that Paris Hilton is a fan of Lipsy - last year she was spotted wearing our dresses, sunglasses and accessories and we even customised a leather jacket for her - but it seems that she's taken a special shine to our logowear range!
Paris has been papped in our Lipsy logo tracksuits a number of times when enjoying some leisure time, and was recently seen out and about in our pink Lipsy crown hoodie set.
A big hit with celebs, the velour hoodies and longue pants, which come in a range of colours and designs, are uber-comfy and the perfect outfit in which to chill out, hit the gym or enjoy a spot of retail therapy. Just remember to team with oversized shades for that true celeb look!

Countdown to summer begins with Lipsy Sun Shop
A range with many celeb fans - Sarah Harding, the Hollyoaks girls and The Saturdays to name but a few - we're very excited to see Lipsy swimwear back in stock, not least because it means that the countdown to summer can truly begin!
This year's collection has taken its cue from some of the hottest spring/summer trends to help you look your best by the pool or at the beach. As every Lipsy girl knows, there's no excuse for letting your style slip on holiday!
Check out the swimwear styles you'll be rocking this summer and start building up that fake tan now!
Animal prints and tribal brights - Safari styles, animal prints and loud tribal designs are key for s/s. Check out the bold and bright Proenza Schouler, Versace and Alexander McQueen collections for all the proof you'll need that Amazonian goddess is the look to be going for this season. Oh, and the rumours are true by the way, this trend even allows you to clash prints!
Spring bling: Opulence dressing, or 'spring bling' as Vogue has nicknamed the trend, is still in, with Balmain, Lanvin and Burberry Prorsum among the many designers coming from the 'more is more' school of thought. Gem detailing, sequin embellishments and gold pieces will help you make a statement this sunny season.
Dotty about retro: Designers have been looking back to the swinging Fifties for style inspiration this year, resurrecting the playful polka dot in all its fun and flirtatious glory. The style is all about feminine glamour and the hot pink frill detail on our bikini compliments it perfectly.

London Fashion Week - top trends
The spring/summer season isn't fully underway and already we're previewing autumn/winter looks at London Fashion Week. But worry not, this year trends have a long lifespan - it's more about investment pieces than fast-fashion - and the styles we're wearing now show no sign of going anywhere. So, what can we look forward to seeing a bit more of?
Sequins and gold - As an antidote to the recession blues, opulence dressing is here to stay. Clements Ribero added bling to footwear and boho dresses with sequin detailing, PPQ showcased some rather fabulous gold hot pants and Mulberry went for subtle studded embellishments.
Neutrals and pastels - Shades will continue to be subtle and soft with neutrals in cream, beige and browns, candy-coloured pastels and, if Mulberry's collection is anything to by, a whole lot of charcoal.
Period romance - Take a style cue from period dramas with full skirts, textured materials and romantic embellishments. Bringing it back to basics, the prairie look isn't going anywhere either.
Bows - Bows may be a central part of the 'Alice in Wonderland' micro-trend, but they're not just a flash in the fashion pan. Henry Holland's models strutted down the catwalk with bows in their hair and Orla Kiely prettied-up dresses with bow prints and detailing.
Shoes with socks - Perfect to wear with bare legs in spring or over tights in the colder months, pretty socks make up one of this year's cutest trends: The look works best with sandals, Mary Janes and wedges.
What the celebs wore
The Sugababes - The three girls pulled off very individual looks in the front row, each working one of this season's hottest trends. Amelle went for the underwear as outerwear look - try our zip-front corset with skinny jeans. Jade looked cute in an LWD - spot-on for the Little Miss Perfect trend encapsulated in our wrapover ric rac bow dress. And Heidi opted for sheer romantic ruffles in a top similar to our silk chiffon blouse.
Nicola Roberts - The Girls Aloud fashionista rocked an 80's inspired classic casual look in stone-wash skinnies, red Chanel jacket and cream quilted bag. Get the look in our faded skinny jeans, red silk chiffon blouse and stud quilted hobo bag.
Olivia Palermo - New York scenester Olivia Palermo got graphic at LFW, mixing and matching abstract prints for a truly on-trend look. Check out our asymmetric digital print dress in this season's bright neons.
Tue 23 Feb 2010
Get the look: Kate Moss
London Fashion Week is well underway and to celebrate we thought we'd look to Britain's face of fashion, Miss Moss herself, for some style inspiration. The queen of vintage, Kate mixes and matches items to create a look which is marries pretty and classic style with rock chic edge and is stamping her own unique mark all over the season's top trends: bold prints, leather and lace.
Get the look with these top style tips:
Toughen up summer dresses with leather: Kate rocks this season's digital print trend and hardens up the feminine style with a leather bustier. Match our bold asymmetric skirt shift dress with the biker gilet for a truly futuristic look.
Update your LBD with a cream blazer: Go for classic French chic by matching a simple and sophisticated lace LDB with this season's must-have jacket - the cream blazer. Fall in love with the gothic romance of the pleat sleeve lace shift or low back lace prom dress and make it monochrome with our soft crinkle waterfall leather jacket.
Make a statement with colour: Kate's wardrobe is full of low-key neutrals which she uses as style building blocks, and this season's soft grey shade makes for the perfect base. But never one to shy away from attention, she makes sure to make a statement with a bold splash of colour. Accessorise a low-key day-time outfit with a vibrant red tote for ultimate glamour.

Get the look: Kim Kardashian
Model, reality star and socialite Kim Kardashian is curvy and proud and knows exactly how to flatter her figure. We've taken a guess at her style rules with some tips we could all do with taking on board.
Nip in at the waist - Accentuate that hour glass figure by nipping in outfits at the waist. Tuck a jersey top into a mini for figure-enhancing femininity. Try our jersey embellished pleat skirt dress or frill bodice dress.
Embrace your seductive powers - Dress like a sex kitten in sensual colours such as the rich red on our gorgeous silk rouge tea dress.
Get gorgeous in Grecian - Grecian styles were designed with voluptuous girls in mind, defining the waist and enhancing sexy curves. Look for ruched and drape details. Our halterneck beaded babydoll is perfect for s/s.
Know the trends - Make sure you don't get stuck in a style rut by keeping on top of the season's trends. The LWD (little white dress) is a s/s must-have, and a great tan enhancer! Our wrap-over ric rac bow dress is sure to be a best-seller so get it before it's gone!

The Brits - get the looks
We absolutely loved the Brits this year! Most deserving winners were most definitely Lady Gaga, who scooped three awards and looked amazing in her lace flower body suit and head-piece and paid tribute to the late Alexander McQueen, and JLS, who were grinning like Cheshire cats as they accepted their awards for Best Breakthrough Act and Best British Single. Looking good boys!
So, to the trends of the evening: There were some fabulous frocks on display, and everyone deserved a big fashion tick in our books.Statement shoulders were very much the order of the night, proving that the trend continues to dominate celeb style, with Leona Lewis, Mel B and Alicia Keys going for architectural shapes. Alicia performed her massive hit 'Empire State of Mind' with Best International Male Solo Artist winner Jay-Z wearing a figure-hugging black sparkly mini dress similar to our V-neck sequin dress.
Despite leaving the Brits empty-handed, Pixie Lott looked stunning in a gothic black mini with lace sleeves and retro-inspired hair. Get the look in our low back lace prom dress, lace drop waisted dress or Sarah Harding's favourite, the lace panelled jersey dress. Or mix and match with our lace body.
Cheryl Cole's high-energy performance of 'Fight for this Love' was one of our personal highlights of the evening: She just keeps getting better and better and looked amazing in a Matrix-style white trench and aviators. The trench is a must-have piece the style of the season - check out our ruched shoulder mac and piped belted mac. After the quickest outfit change of the evening, Cheryl re-appeared for the second half of her hit in a sparkly black backless body - for a less daring take on the look, go for our glitter backless dress.

Sarah Harding parties and holidays in Lipsy
A long-time lover of all things Lipsy, Sarah Harding has been spotted partying and holidaying in two of our must-have pieces over recent weeks. Sarah partied at her London nightclub Kanaloa, with DJ boyfriend Tom Crane and Saturday's singer Una Healy, in our black lace panel jersey dress, which she paired with studded boots, a leather jacket and chain bag to create her signature rock-chic look.
Just hours after she left Mahiki's sister nightspot, Sarah jetted off to holiday in Barbados with Tom and a group of friends and it looks like she's been having a ball sipping champers and modelling a number of stunning bikinis, including our leopard print and pink-frill two-piece!
Look out for our new season Sun Shop - coming soon!

Demi Lovato shops at Lipsy
Camp Rock star Demi Lovato popped into Lipsy HQ this week to pick up some must-have pieces for the upcoming season.
Channelling Nineties-style, the American singer/songwriter was wearing a red velvet blazer and black mini with big shades, layered chains and metallic-detail killer heels - this is one seriously stylish 17-year-old!
Snapping up some s/s wardrobe staples, Demi went for classic feminine pieces with our short flower dress and floral maxi (both coming soon) and the lace body and dropped lace dress. And she loved our rock-chic essential, the chainmail waistcoat, which is a bargain at just £25! We think it'd look great layered over the lace body with black skinnies and tough biker boots- it's all about mixing and matching materials and textures this season! Demi also picked up a Lipsy tracksuit - fast becoming a celebrity must-have - to chill out in when she gets some down-time.
We can't wait to see how she wears the pieces!

Wonderbra scoops the best supporting role...
The Hollywood A-Listers excelled themselves at the Golden Globes, shimmying down the red carpet in an amazing variety of stunning frocks. But as in the film industry, it takes a lot of work behind the scenes (or seams in this case) to create the finished product, and great dresses demand great bras. So, how to we mere mortals get the looks?
Strapless style
Christina Aguilera and Courtney Cox Arquette went for classic Hollywood glamour, in baby pink and jet black strapless maxi gowns respectively, to complement their colourings. For simple sophistication, check out our white jewelled plunge neck dress and black lace panel dress. Camilla Belle chose a more futuristic style in one of the season's hottest trends - bold abstract print. Get the look in our VIP bustle strapless dress.
Having visible bra straps with such fabulous frocks is a huge fashion no-no, so make sure you're well supported with some behind-the-seams magic. The Wonderbra Ultimate Strapless will not only give your dress great structure, it'll also create a show-stopping cleavage!
One-shoulder wonders
Hitting spring/summer's top trends, Katy Perry and Drew Barrymore dazzled in white and nude Grecian, one-shoulder creations.
This year designers have re-discovered the power of raw, pure and natural shades, with timeless Grecian styles and floaty feminine materials complementing the colours perfectly. Our one-shoulder grecian dress is a summer essential, and the chiffon harness babydoll a feminine fantasy.
And the prize for supporting role must go to...Wonderbra Multi-plunge. If you don't feel comfortable going without straps, you don't have to! Just adjust the straps to fit the shape you your dress's neckline - perfect.
Wed 20 Jan 2010
Happy Birthday Pixie!
We'd like to wish our good friend Pixie Lott a very happy birthday! Pixie looked fabulous celebrating her 19th birthday in our new Spring season Lipsy draped-sleeve lace dress, studded biker jacket and grecian gold headband. Pixie & friends partyed the night away in London's most stylish celeb hotspots, Boujis & Movida nightclub...She's a true fashionista & we love her!
Happy Birthday Pixie, love Lipsy HQ! xx

Get the look: Olivia Palermo
Move over Whitney Port, stand aside Audrina Patridge, there's a new New York socialite on the scene, and we think she may just turn out to be the It girl of 2010. Olivia Palermo's effortless style and sweet feminine charm have well and truly won us over. We love her hair - messy up dos and loose waves - yes please, her smoky eyes and shimmering skin, but most of all we love her clothes!
In just one fabulous outfit she hits three of the season's top trends - pairing a metallic dress with a studded boyfriend blazer. Get the look with our eyelet corset tulip dress, now in the sale, and wear with the crinkle waterfall leather jacket for urban cool.
The model also gets it spot on with this military jacket and skinny jeans combo - love it! Our military wool jacket is now better than half price, down to £30 from £65 - bargain. Wear with wardrobe staple - logo pocket skinny jeans.
Olivia also pulls off feminine girl-about-town chic with ease, looking girly and gorgeous in floaty floral prints and layering a cute pink cardi over a black chiffon top and hotpants - just wear with leggings or tights until the spring! Floral tea-dresses are a style essential for spring and summer, and work just as well in the city as they do in the country. Check out our gather sleeve tea dress. And invest in another upcoming top trend - pastels, with the pink candy stripe belted cardigan - now just £20!

Spotted in Lipsy: Michelle Heaton in OK! and Alexandra Burke in More
Everyone here at Lipsy would like to say a big congratulations to Michelle Heaton on the news that she is engaged to long-term boyfriend Hugh Hanley! Michelle and Hugh started dating in summer 2008, after her split from husband Andy Scott-Lee, and they told OK! that they're planning on an August or September wedding in either New York of Hawaii - sounds fab!
Michelle looked gorgeous in the magazine shoot, going for classic romance in a number of flirty and feminine Lipsy dresses - the mesh prom dress, back detail shift dress and VIP sequin chiffon maxi dress - and keeping warm in a fur faux coat. Frolicking in the snow at the country house location, she looked every bit the smitten kitten!
Alexandra Burke's Lipsy obsession was also laid bare for all to see in this month's issue of More. Alex loves our sparkling minis and the mag picked out six pieces she has rocked over the past year. Luckily for you, many of them are now in the sale so you won't need a celeb bank balance to snap up the singer's sassy style!

Lipsy's Big Review of the Year
Wow - what a year it's been. Not a day has passed without a juicy celeb story to get our teeth into, the fashion has been fierce; the music the best we can remember in a long while and it's been non-stop excitement at Lipsy HQ with fashion news and celeb spots nearly every week!
So, what will 2009 be remembered for? We've come up with our own list but let us know if you think we've missed anything!
Katie and Peter - the fairy-tale ends
We all knew that they had a stormy relationship but we never thought they'd actually divorce! Many were in denial about the split and the words 'publicity stunt' sprung to mind on more than one occasion, but Pete stood his ground, Katie started seeing a cross-dresser, returned to the jungle, stopped seeing the cross-dresser...and we just couldn't get enough of the story!
Russell 4 Katy
We never thought we'd see the day - serial-womanizer Russell Brand falling in love and settling down! But Katy Perry has proved his perfect match and after a whirl-wind romance the quirky twosome are now reportedly engaged - good luck to our new favourite couple!
The new princesses of pop
My god, hasn't it just been the best year for music! Loved Cheryl's debut solo single, loved her performance on The X Factor, loved her dresses - so yeah, big celeb crush on Mrs Cole this year! But it hasn't all been about the Geordie lass - 2009 has seen some very strong competition for the crown of Queen of Pop. Our favourite new pint-sized pop princess - move over Kylie - Pixie Lott burst onto the scene with fab tunes and enviable style, Alexandra Burke proved that winning the X-Factor was just the beginning with the absolutely fierce 'Bad Boys', and you couldn't go anywhere without hearing one of Lady Gaga's electro hits or marvelling at photos of her out-there futuristic style!
Twi-hard mania!
Just when we thought it couldn't get any better, New Moon offered up even more brooding looks, sparkling eyes and hot bods than the first Twilight film - major swoon! Taylor Lautner gave R-Pattz a run for his money as crush of the year - although we have to admit that we're still Team Edward - and Kristen Stewart emerged as an unexpected style icon - mixing up grunge and classic feminine styles to create an original look with an uber-cool edge.
Lily Allen = the new face of Chanel
Following in the footsteps of Jerry Hall, Diane Kruger and Milla Jovovich, our very own Brit icon Lily Allen became the new face of Chanel handbags! Karl Lagerfeld described his new muse as '"fun" and, channelling Audrey Hepburn, she proved to be the perfect choice for the campaign. What a style overhaul - we remember the days of sun-dresses, chunky trainers and chav earrings. Good on ya Lil!
The top trends
Designers looked back to the eighties for style inspiration and statement shoulders, sequins, body-con dresses, trophy jackets and jumpsuits became the must-have pieces of the year. We got a glimpse of fashions to come, with a little help from Lady Gaga, and it seems that the future looks metallic, angular and geometric! And let's not forget the rock chic trend - stud and chain details, biker jackets and skinny jeans helped add an edge to girly glamour.
Lipsy-world
Website make-over: We pimped our website to make it better for you! You can now search by style, colour, trend and - coming soon - celebrity, drool over your new fashion crush with larger images and better zoom and pre-order to stay on top of the trends and catch those elusive best-sellers when they come back in stock!
International shopping costs slashed: It was good news for Lipsy girls in more far-flung locations as we slashed our overseas delivery costs with significant reductions for all you Irish Lipsy fans!
Shoes and lingerie launches: Expanding our fashion empire, we launched a fierce new range of killer heels, incorporating all the top trends - from shoe boots to gladiator sandals. We were also proud to present two new ranges of lingerie, designed for Lipsy by Soleil Sucre and Caprice, to help you look hot both in and out of your party dress!
New stores: We know that you love shopping online, but sometimes you need an emergency outfit for that special night out, so we decided to take our party dresses out to the nation by opening up Lipsy stores all around the country. You can now get your Lipsy fashion fix in...deep breath...Newcastle, Manchester Arndale Centre, Lakeside Essex, Liverpool, Dundrum, Cardiff, Nottingham, Braehead Glasgow, Bluewater, Brighton, Belfast and Sheffield. 
Lipsy's got the X-Factor: The X-Factor finalists have always had a bit of a thing for Lipsy and this year proved no exception. Lucie Jones and Rachel Adedeji stunned audiences in Lipsy dresses during their live performances, and Lucie - who has joined Lily Cole, Agyness Deyn and Daisy Lowe on the books of Select model agency - has since popped into Lipsy HQ and the Brentcross store for some serious shopping. Everyone's favourite Essex girl, Stacey Solomon, was also spotted rehearsing and chilling out in Lipsy logo-wear during the series, as well as ramping up the glamour in our VIP feather dress for the wrap party!
Celebs love Lipsy: We don't like to name-drop - well, actually we do - but Lipsy has been a big hit with the stars this year. The likes of the Pussycat Dolls' Kimberly Wyatt, Beverly Knight and Amy Winehouse have all paid Lipsy HQ a visit. Alesha Dixon, The Saturdays and The Hills' Kristin Cavallari have been spotted rocking our party dresses and Lipsy outfits were all over the red carpet at the top soap star events of the year. Oh, and did we mention that our lace zip back top was featured in Vogue not once but twice?! A seal of approval of the highest order! 
Tue 29 Dec 2009
Get the look: Diane Kruger
As an A-list Hollywood actress and former fashion model, you can't get much cooler than Diane Kruger, and her effortless sophistication speaks reams about her star status.
The pinnacle of elegance, Diane made a winning style statement in this oh-so-cute black peplum LBD in the season's must-have fabric - luxe velvet - ticking off the trends one by one. Take a leaf out of her book and add edge to this classic style with a chain belt - try our velvet strapless mini dress.
At another A-List do the blonde beauty went for all-out-glamour in a drop-back sparkly party dress - how could you not feel like a million dollars in this style? Turn heads at your Christmas and NYE dos in our twinkling glitter backless dress.
And proving that red-carpet style isn't all about party dresses, Diane adds high-fashion style to the casual chic of harem pants with a fitted body and sequin trophy jacket. Team our harem trousers with a sequin waistcoat for alternative Christmas sparkle.

Introducing...By Caprice lingerie
Combining glamour, femininity and sex appeal, we're very excited to be stocking Caprice's lingerie range! The 14 new styles will help create the perfect shape underneath that special dress and, of course, the pieces look pretty damn hot worn on their own!
Caprice's personal favourites are feminine and sexy Can Can, Fleur "the gel bra of gel bras" and padded plunge Hollywood Spot bra. We have to agree that these are the pieces to help enhance your assets to make you feel super sexy this party season.
"The Fleur is practical, so you can wear it every day, but it has that extra fashion twist so you look and feel fabulous," Caprice says. "And the Hollywood Spot gives you uber-lift and fantastic shape. I also love the brief shorts as I'm not really a thong kind of girl."
Caprice says that her inspiration comes from the customer: "I listen and observe buying patterns - colours, shapes, styles and trends", and she's certainly got it spot on with timeless classic styles and vintage designs.
"I hope you like the collection and can't wait to show you spring/summer range!" Caprice. xx

Sparkle like The Saturdays
The Saturdays have thrown themselves into the Christmas party spirit recently, championing the sequin trend at not one but three events! The girls went for block-colour sequin shifts at the Key103 Jingle Ball, sparkled in silver sequin mini-dresses at T4's Stars of 2009 and shone in a range of stunning styles at the Variety Club Showbiz Awards.
Sequins are always a good bet at Christmas but this year the trend has really taken off, with bling becoming the look of the season! Choose the right style for you:
All-out sparkle
For true-attention grabbing style, go for bold colours with the pink bandeau sequin dress or sequin backless dress or work the metallic trend in our strapless reverse sequin dress or zebra sequin tunic.
Subtle shine
If you're looking for something a little more subtle, choose a dress with sequin blocks or detailing such as the reverse sequin corset dress or bandeau beaded dress, which offers a similar style to Frankie's Variety Club cut-out number without you having to dare-to-bare.
VIP

Always groomed and glam, the now stateside-based singer knows exactly how to flatter her figure and creates great party looks with an edge. This Christmas party season, sequin harem pants and a black body are the perfect alternative to the LBD - just remember the killer heels! Or for a fashion shortcut, try our sequin jumpsuit.
Showing off her curves, Leona is also a fan of body-con styles and matches her make-up to this figure-hugging bandeau number in the season's hottest colour- wild berry. Check out our fringed backless body-con dress, accentuate your curves like Leona with a chunky waist-cinching belt and accessorise with bangles and a black clutch - must-haves for the party season.
Never caught off-guard, Leona even looks glam working the, would-be casual, jeans and vest day-time look - teaming her skinnies with a black waterfall jacket, over-sized red patent bag and lace-up boots.

Being the last remaining girl in the X Factor, and with a voice and look that just keep getting bigger and better, we're backing Stacey all the way!

It may be getting chilly out but this doesn't mean we have to hide our figures away in chunky knit cardies and baggy sweaters. Jumper dresses have had a high-fashion make-over this year so you can keep cutting edge as well as cosy.

You'd have to have been living on another planet for the last few months to still be in the dark about the statement shoulder trend. Along with sequins it is THE top trend of AW09. Having emerged when top-name designers Balmain, Marc Jacobs, Givenchy and D&G looked to the eighties for inspiration, statement shoulders have been adopted by such style icons as Victoria Beckham, Rihanna, Blake Lively and Kate Moss.
Subtler than 80's power dressing pads, today's structured shoulders are all about creating drama with delicate detailing and futuristic designs. And best of all, the architectural silhouettes make waists look tiny by comparison!
Try our studded shoulder dress, asymmetric zip shift dress or backless glitter dress for a Lipsy take on the trend. Hit two trends in one with the sequin futuristic dress or v neck sequin dress in the style of Blake Lively. Or add drama to any outfit with this season's must have item, the military tux jacket.

Britain's golden girl can do no wrong in our eyes. We love everything she is associated with: Girls Aloud, The X Factor, her new solo single...but most of all we love her look! Cheryl truly is a style icon of our times and as well as becoming one of our favourite cover girls over the last few years, is now the new face (and hair) of L'Oreal's Elvive range. So, how does she manage to look so damn good all the time?
The key to Cheryl's look is statement pieces - bringing the basics (skinny jeans, leggings and vest tops) up-to-date with key items. Cheryl works the trophy jacket look with a Red Riding Hood-style duffle coat for the day and sequined blazer for the evening. Check out our red wool duffle coat and silver sequin jacket.
For more casual style she teams this season's trend top, a marble wash tunic, with bleached skinnies and for night-out sex-appeal brings the LBD up-to-date with a zip-front party dress and leather jacket. Try our eyelet marbled tunic and alligator futuristic dress.
We'll be watching every Saturday and Sunday night to see what Cheryl will wear next!

The soap stars glammed up last Monday night for this year's Inside Soap Awards, with many choosing to make an impression in Lipsy party dresses. It seems that the cast of Corrie have become regular visitors to our Manchester Lipsy store, which was opened by Michelle Keegan who plays Tina McIntyre in the soap. Michelle wore our stunning black, asymmetric glitter mini-dress (sold out!) to take the Sexiest Female award - a title well deserved we think!
And fellow cast-members Brooke Vincent (Sophie Webster) and Sacha Parkinson (best-friend Sian), who will become lesbian lovers in an upcoming storyline, dazzled in a VIP studded bodice feather dress and VIP bejewelled heart layer dress.
Hollyoaks' Dominique Jackson (Lauren Valentine) also swapped her on-screen emo attire for our floaty feminine pleated corset chiffon dress.
But it was the Eastenders' cast who really stole the show, sweeping the board with their awards. Lacey Turner (Stacey Slater) won Best Actress for the fourth year running, Kara Tointon (Dawn Swan) picked up the Best Dressed gong, Best Bitch and Best Bad Boy went to schemers Charlie Brooks (Janine Butcher) and Larry Lamb (Archie Mitchell) and John Partridge (Christian Clarke) was named Sexiest Male. 'Enders also won the coveted title of Best Soap.
