Beyoncé for H&M Amazingness!


Ok tell me Beyoncé is the only one who looks this good in H&M *puts down Dairy Milk*!

Here's Mrs Carter's campaign video for H&M with her song 'Standing on the Sun'. Filmed in the Bahamas, this will also be a track on her new album. 

Apparently the video represents the opposing nature of the four elements. But let's face it, it's all about Bey looking unreal on a beach!

Catwalk Craving: Natalie B Coleman


If you're new to Natalie B Coleman's designs, well, where have you been?! The Irish designer is a master of print and her SS'13 collection, 'Sarah's Suitcase', is just gorgeous!! If you're a colour-lover then this is the line for you. 

The tropical colours will have you in the summer mood (yes, even in Ireland!). But it's not just pretty prints, the tailoring and craftsmanship behind each piece is remarkable. This is high fashion, folks.

I am dying for this oversized dress! I love the almost sporty feel to it and the colours are enough to convert even me (navy and white is about a wild as I get!). Check out her collection over on Natalie B Coleman - be ready to fall in love!!

I am so excited for May and the release of the Great Gatsby (this coming from a girl who hasn't been to the cinema since the Inbetweeners movie!). The book is a brilliant and beautiful but come on, Baz Luhrmann, Jay-Z, Beyoncé, even an Amy Winehouse track ... the movie is going to be epic!

Fashion News: Marilyn Manson for Saint Laurent Paris


I think Yves Saint Laurent is going through its teenage, rebellious period. Four big things have happened at the brand recently; firstly Hedi Slimane was named creative director. Then he changed the name to Saint Laurent Paris. Thirdly, he took the brand back to the 90's with his grunge AW'13 show. And finally Marilyn Manson seems to have been made their menswear campaign star.
