British Fashion Awards 2011

Sarah Burton, Kate Moss, Alexa Chung, Victoria Beckham, SamCam -- Paris may have couture and New York may have Marc, but it was the Brits who ruled fashion this year.Tonight in London, those names and more gathered for the annual British Fashion Awards, presented by the British Fashion Council (the UK's CFDA equivalent). There were plenty of awards to go around, given the crazy amounts of success British designers and tastemakers have had in 2011.

Sarah Burton took home the top honor as "Designer of the Year" for her work at Alexander McQueen... and, of course, on the Royal Wedding Dress.

Victoria Beckham's win for "Designer Brand of the Year" recognizing her success with her ready-to-wear, handbang and accessories collections, presented to her by Marc Jacobs. 


Accessory Designer of the Year went to Charlotte Dellal for Charlotte Olympia, a brand beloved by many celebs including Olivia Palermo. Mary Katrantzou, who won best Emerging Talent in the Womenswear category.

Top of the spots! Celeb style steal!

Ello lovelies!

I promise I will post properly and update you all on the shiz going on my life sometime this week! But right now I wanted to quickly post about the spotty revolution taking over!

I was flicking through the t'interweb the other day and clocked this awesome Stella McCartney number popping up all over pretty much every celeb on the planet at the moment!

Stella McCartney - £1,250

I love me a polka dot, so quirky but at the same time so classic, they never, ever, ever fall off our fashion radars do they? So I believe we can wholeheartedly justify any purchase of a polka piece as an investment!

Anyway, after having a nosey, these spotty mesh numbers are all over the place in the plus world too at the mo, so if your budget, or your waistline doesn't quite fit into old Stella's bracket, never fear here is my little round up of this celeb style steal, perfect for the up and coming party season!

Simply Be - £90

So Fabulous @ Very - £45

Style369 - £29.50

ASOS Curve - £30

Oh and if you don't fancy getting in on the LBD action, but fancy some dotty action how about this cute shrug...

Yours Clothing - £19

Honestly, I haven't been paid to write this I know it prob sounds a bit cheese-tastic but I do honestly get a little bit over excited when the party season starts drawing in and I start clapping eyes on all the little pieces that I want to wear, so many outfits, not enough parties! Am gonna start party crashing me thinks!

Will update again this week sweeties!

MWAH!!!
BIG LOVE
XOXOX
