Stupid Cupid

By Hannah Thomas in Celebrity, Top Picks, Valentine's Day, Womenswear on Thursday 7th February, 2013

Valentine’s Day is one of those annual calendar events that polarises opinion. Some people are filled with dread as soon as the word is mentioned, and others are counting down the days until their loved one does something fantastically romantic to celebrate their love and adoration.

Whatever your thoughts on the matter, whether your single or attached to your partner’s hip, there are many ways to celebrate the day.

The best Valentine’s Day I ever had was a night out with all of my single girlfriends. We dressed up, did ‘Secret Cupid’ (a take on the Secret Santa gift buying) and had set out some clear rules and tasks for the evening – with relevant punishments for not completing said task.

It turned out to be an awesome evening of celebrating being single on Valentine’s Day and having some quality time with those you love and will always love! Remember the saying…’men come and go…’

Anyway, with so many different ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day there are obviously so many ways to dress for the occasion. Having taken some inspiration from Alicia Keys, Anne Hathaway and Reese Witherspoon we think we’ve nailed a few key looks.

Whether you plan on doing a two can dine offer in the house, but still want to make more effort than putting on your pyjamas as soon as you get in from work, or if you want to pack a punch on a dinner date or even a night out with your single friends, we’ve got three looks covered.

Comment and tell us how you’ll be celebrating Valentine’s. Better still; feel free to share any funny Valentine’s Day stories with us. We’re all ears!

Bags of style…

By Gemma Conley-Smith in Celebrity, Clothing at Tesco loves, Get the look, Top Picks, Trends on Wednesday 9th January, 2013

Ugh, January.  Is anyone else sick of wearing navy, grey and black? Not to mention wrapping up in the same winter coat…

We can’t do anything about the weather here at F&F HQ, but may I make a suggestion? Treat yourself to a statement bag.  A brightly coloured satchel or clutch will liven up drab days, and is a totally justifiable purchase, even if you’ve promised yourself no new clothes until after your January detox! As an added bonus, brights and patterns are set to be big news for Spring Summer 2013, so by grabbing one now you’ll be a step ahead of the fash pack.  Here are 3 of my favourites…F&F Collection of satchels and clutches

L-R: Coral cross body: £8, Tasseled clutch: £8, Pastel satchel: £10, Below: Yellow bright buckle bag, £8 (coming soon)

But don’t just take our word for it, the cross body beauty shown below (coming soon to the online store) was featured on This Morning with Lorraine Kelly!  On a New Year budget? No problem! Each of the bags featured is £10 or under.  Now that’s what I call getting it in the bag.F&F Cross body yellow satchel bag

Will you be treating yourself to a new bag? What’s your favourite colour?

Love, Gemma x

Leo Bancroft Launch!

By saraferrity in Behind the scenes, Celebrity, Exclusive on Thursday 19th April, 2012

Last night the Lifestyled team were lucky enough to attend the brilliant launch of Leo Bancroft’s product range at The Ivy Club. We spied a few celeb guests and even managed to grab a goodie bag on the way home, generously stuffed full of Leo’s products (check mine out below!)


My goodie bag

It is not only the models and catwalks that love Leo, but since becoming This Morning’s hairstylist, Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes are both his biggest fans and loyal customers, as well as a list of celebrity clients and friends, including the Chelsea football team and their families, Peter Crouch, Abbey Clancy, and Kirsty Gallagher.

Ruth Langsford from This Morning said, “Leo has always been a great hairdresser and I am a big fan, he has been doing my hair for years. I highly recommend Leo and his line of products to everyone, and we love him at This Morning.

Leo’s range is now available exclusively in 500 Tesco stores UK-wide and thank goodness – I can’t live without his tousled beach wave spray! Better stock up on it ladies as his 17-product line is being sold at an introductory price of £2.50 a product until the end of April!

Cudos to Leo for bringing catwalk and celebrity glamour to the high street so we can all get a piece of the action!

 

Me and the lovely Leo

Lifestyled Tip : If you want the man in your life to look as good as Leo did last night check out our slick range of gentleman’s suits and tailoring.

 

 

 


 

The Only Way is Ella!

By saraferrity in Accessorizes, Brands, Celebrity, Get the look on Monday 16th April, 2012

I’m so excited about the latest series of The Only Way is Essex that started this Sunday! It’s inspired me to give myself a bit of a style makeover this week (not on the same scale as the lovely Arg)….lashings of fake tan, manicured nails, fake lashes and of course very, very high heels!

Now I’m not making quite so much moolah as the TOWIE gang, but who cares about designer shoes when you’ve got Ella – celeb style for a fraction of the price!

 


More so than most of her co-stars Sam Faiers loves her denims and what could be more Essex than a white pair of skinny jeans? The owner of her own clothing boutique it’s safe to say Sam know what suits her, so I can guarantee she already knows that this coral top will work well against a tan (real or fake). Team with a pair of gorgeous Ella platform heels for a touch of glamour!

The lovely Lydia Bright is probably the most demure cast member and the one with the most unique (and arguably best) sense of style. Lydia loves to experiment with clothes from different decades so we thought this 70s style spot print halter neck dress would be right up her alley. Keeping it classy a pair of Ella cream peep toes to finish the look!

F&F Coral Rolled up sleeve zip back top £14.00 , F&F Belted straight leg jeans £16.00 , Ella Shoes Patent peep toe platform shoe £22.00

F&F Limited Edition Spot print halterneck maxi dress £40.00 , Ella Shoes Patent peep toe platform shoe £22.00 ,

Lauren Goodger is probably the most well known of the bunch and boy does that girl love a pair of leggings! Comfortable and form-fitting, leggings are a wardrobe must-have! Dress them up or down leggings work just as well in the gym as they do on a night out! If like Lauren you’re conscious of your figure then add a longer top with a bit of volume like this orange vest to balance your figure. Let your shoes do the talking with these Ella leopard print platforms – you’ll be the envy of Essex!

Chloe Simms has a very specific style – ladylike with a touch of Essex glamour! This classic figure hugging dress wouldn’t look out of place in Chloe’s wardrobe and the bold black and white vertical block pattern keeps this looking modern! We all know those Essex girls love a bit of animal print and these Ella snakeskin platforms would no doubt go down a treat!

F&F Zip pocket vest £12.00 , F&F Leggings £6.00 , Ella Shoes Animal print platform peep toe shoe £25.00

F&F Limited Edition Colour block belted shift dress £28.00 , Ella Shoes Snakeskin platform court shoe £25.00

Be inspired by fabulous 50s’ style

By Zarah Harrison in Celebrity, Get the look, Trends on Tuesday 6th March, 2012

We’re loving this season’s retro 50’s styling. Think Olivia Newton John in Grease with her casual ponytail, cardigan and full skirt. Colour is key, plain or floral brights. Wear prom dresses and pencil skirts for a sexy silhouette – the perfect look for a smart day at work, a night out or even that first spring wedding…

 

For the casual everyday 50s’ look, opt for belted cropped trousers and a sleeveless shirt. The one I’ve chosen below with the bow print is really cute and very much embodies the style of that era. Team this look with a pair of plimsoles, pumps or wedges, it doesn’t really matter they all work with this look so whatever you find most comfortable. To accessorise I’ve added a cherry print belt and a floral print boxy bag; the bag contrasts quite nicely with the shirt but if you prefer your look to be a little more subtle, you can go for a one block colour instead. Finally top your whole look off with a rosebud pink lipstick.

 

Cropped trousersSleeveless bow print shirtPink lipstickCherry print belt, Floral print boxy bagPolka dot ballerina pumpsWhite plimsoles, Pink wedges

If you are looking to bring a little 50s’ glamour into your  office work wardrobe,  just think Madmen.  The pencil skirt is an absolute must for this look; I’ve chosen a mustard skirt which was a very popular colour in the 1950s. These skirts are very flattering to a curvy figure and look great when you team them up with a fitted shirt, (tucked in of course). Below are two colours to choose from, white and chocolate brown, both of them work well with this outfit. If you have an important meeting and want to look sharp but elegant; add a tailored jacket to give extra impact. Some peeptoe high heels and a pearl necklace (worn close to the neck) will top the outfit off perfectly.

 

 Pencil skirt, brown fitted shirt, white fitted shirt, tailored jacket, peeptoe heels, pearls

 

We have some very lovely dresses that are perfect for the wedding season; my absolute favourite is this lemon yellow dress below. Very flattering and easy to wear. The model is wearing it with some vivid aqua green shoes which I love, but if you’d rather something a little more subtle, then white or cream shoes would look good too. And if the great British summer doesn’t live up to it’s name, keep yourself from going blue with this fitted dragonfly cardigan  or if you want to keep your look very smart, you can opt for a tailored white jacket.

 

 

And lastly as a little treat to our blog readers, I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Next week we are going to be adding some very lovely dresses to clothingattesco.com, so make sure you get in first and check them out because something tells me they will be very popular and we have limited stock. Check out the floral prom dress below as a sneak peak of what’s to come…

 

 

 

Introducing F&F Made-up Collection

By saraferrity in Blogspot, Celebrity, Get the look on Tuesday 28th February, 2012

We all know that true style doesn’t end with your wardrobe. Where would Kate Moss be today for example without her trademark black eyeliner? Following on from the very successful launch of our F&F Made Up cosmetics range we have decided to bring some extra glamour to the blog and start talking make-up as well as clothes!

 

 

This Week we’re trying to get the Kate Middleton look – the high life on a budget? Yes please!

Step by step guide

1. Kate’s fresh and natural skin

Kate’s skin is radiant and extremely healthy-looking. Get a similar result by mixing our creamy oil free foundation mixed with a touch of our galaxy glow highlighter to create a flawless base.

Next dot some enlighten me concealar under your eyes for that fresh appearance. The concealar can also be used on any blemishes to ensure your skin looks as perfect as Kates!

Finish off the skin off with some pressed translucent powder to make sure it lasts all day long.

Oil-free liquid foundation £7.50 , galaxy glow highlighter £9.50 , Enlighten me concealar £6.00, translucent powder £7.00

 

2. Kate’s gorgeous glow

Get Kate’s killer cheekbones by running a matte bronzer like our warm bronzer under your cheekbones to contour your face and make it appear slimmer.

Then capture Kate’s pretty feminine glow with a dab of our fever blush on the apples of your cheeks.

matte warm bronzer £7.50 , fever cheek colour £5.00

 

3. Kate’s signature eyeliner

Our eyeshadow palette ‘Boulevard’ is perfect for recreating Kate’s classic eye make-up.

Start with the lightest beige coloured shade all over the lid and up to the brow bone. This not only acts like a primer but highlights the brow so it looks higher.  On the lid use the second colour – the light, purpley tone. This colour looks fantastic with green eyes like Kates but also looks pretty darn good with blue eyes as well.

Use our eyeliner ink in black signal around the eye, rather than inside to open the eyes up. Lining the inside creates more of an evening look. Finish with our black mascara for beautiful ,natural lashes fit for a princess!

Boulevard eye palette £6.00 , black eyeliner £5.50 , black mascara £7. 00

 

4. Kate’s glossy lips

Our lipgloss in Bellini Crush is perfect for recreating Kate’s glossy pout. Remember to keep a tube in your bag so you can look as polished as she does throughout the day!

Bellini Crush lipgloss £5.00

 

 

Now go snag yourselves a Prince ladies!

As seen on TV…Goks Fashion Fix

By saraferrity in Celebrity on Wednesday 19th October, 2011

Our fabulous F&F fashions have been hitting your TV screens again. This week saw two of our current F&F womenswear pieces on the ever-popular Channel 4’s Gok’s Fashion Fix.

This outfit went head-to-head down Gok’s catwalk as his key ‘look for less’, and of course this F&F outfit was voted favourite by the public, over a more expensive similar look.
