#stylepost - Drop It Like It's Hot VBSS14

Victoria Beckham's recent drop waist dress has been called many things over the past few weeks...

Voluminous. A billowy tent. A cloud.

Although some might not agree, for me the SS14 dress is simple, flattering and effortless and being honest, over the past few months I've become a little tired of the almost 'predictable' trend of high waisted skirts/crop top combo. Us ladies look great in them but sadly we don't all have abs to kill and the flair to pull off a barely there, luminous top.. no? That's why the influx of fresh pastels and flowing layers has kicked my Autumn off to a good start.

It's just a shame the price doesn't match this. 

If £1,500 isn't too steep for your price range then by all means head over to Net-A-Porter and grab us all one but if your pay packet is a little more modest then these ASOS alternatives are our new best friends.

#beautypost - NYFW hair trends

With Milan fashion week under way and London fashion week just finished it's the perfect time to appreciate some of the hair trends that came out of NYFW AW13.

Conflicting with the previous season's straight and slick look, it seems AW13 will have lashings of tousled beach styles and a strong 70's bombshell look. From fresh faced models to thick cats eyes, there was a prominent relaxed vibe when it came to hair and the main contenders came from that of Rodarte, Diane von Furstenburg, Anna Sui and Rebecca Minkoff.

Plenty of waves, braids and buns.
