Hair-Spiration...

Summer '14 is well under way and the hair trend of the season is of course 'The Bob'. Always a style staple this year its about the awkward length - you know too short for a hair tie but too long to be considered a pixie cut.

 Here's a few celebs who've gone for the big chop and are really persuading me to follow suit...

My current fave Hairspo has to be the one and only Lara Bingle! We're used to seeing her with medium length hair but this new look she's rocking is definitely making her stand out from the crowd. I love how awkward the length is and how blunt the chop is. Uber chic!

Since starring in American Horror Story: Coven, Emma Roberts' star has been steadily rising and she is fast becoming a Style Supreme. Ditching the overused long blonde beachy waves for an edgier angled bob is doing wonders for shedding Roberts' Girl Next Door image.

  

I'm loving off Kylie Jenner right now! She's chopped off her 'Baby Kardashian' image just by chopping a few inches off her mane! She served as a serious Hairspo on Tumblr when she had the blue dip-dyed hair but my fave look of hers is her most recent - jet black. Makes her look ultra sophisticated. 90s Baby!

So I'm cheating with this one as this isn't Ciara's most recent look but it's my fave! Ciara has come a long way in the style department since she first stepped on the scene. She's developed a sense of sophistication and her wigs are giving me life right now! I'm seriously considering opting for the shorter bob on the right. If I bottle it then I'm defo going to go for the safer cut on the left!

Check Mate...

The hottest celebrity trend on the red carpet right now has to be the Louis Vuitton 60s inspired checkered prints. 

Jessica alba showed the checkered look can be pulled off by curvier figures in monochrome and midi length at the Golden Globes afterparty. Kerry Washington on the other hand opted for a figure skimming version catered to slimline figures at the Django Unchained premiere.

Kirsten Dunst donned a floor length version. I like it on Kirsten but personally that's way to much print for me. I would stick to midi and mini versions.

My faves have to be the mini dress worn by Miroslava Duma and Miranda Kerr. I also love the matching jacket Miroslava added to her look.

Kristen Stewart was one of the first celebs to rock the checkered look in a playsuit at the Breaking Dawn Part II photocall last year in Tokyo.

 This is a tricky trend to try at home but I've seen some more subtle checkered pieces from Topshop and River Island.

Style Profile...

All hail Millie Mackintosh. I am suffering from serious closet envy right now! 

The MIC star recently launched her own website; Millie-Mackintosh.com which features videos and an online store to purchase lashes from her lash line. The site also features a style diary; regular OOTDs from her much coveted wardrobe. 

Millie's style is sometimes smart sometimes casual but always well executed! 

There are literally countless looks I could choose from but this post would never end so I'm gonna show you guys my faves of her most recent looks, enjoy...

Cropped jacket, skinny jeans and a fedora, that is usually what you can see Millie in on a casual day.  The striped jacket with fringing on the hem (top left) is from Sandro. This leopard print biker jacket by Rare (top right) which is unfortunately sold out; is an affordable alternative to the A.L.C Leopard Fur Savile jacket seen on the likes of Jennifer Lopez and Khloe Kardashian (right). 

 I love the way Millie pulls off a smart casual look by going for statement midi skirts and simple tops.

 Both the embellished Miss Selfridge pencil skirt (left) and Yellow leather Virgo's Lounge skirt (right) are pieces every girl can rock to any function.

The Miss Selfridge skirt comes which a matching jacket.

Millie actually has the BEST gilet collection I've ever seen. 

She was one of the first to start rocking the leather biker gilet (left: Supertrash) which is gonna be huge for SS13. I love the bold blue she's gone for to brighten up her look. I would personally go for yellow; that's a lie I'd probably just stick to black lol. This Alice+ Olivia fir gilet (right) is perfect for our current climate.

Every week, I find myself researching where Millie gets her MIC outfits from. 

From series 4 of MIC, this beaded mustard dress from Virgos Lounge had me in a daze and I loved the way Millie styled her Beulah painted lady dress with a statement gold necklace and bangle then muted the look with a cobalt blue clutch.

Hart of Dixie Get The Look...

If I could steal anybody's wardrobe it would have to be Dr Zoe Hart from Hart of Dixie. 

Her style is the epitome of cool- city chic, she's stylish but simple. You can take the girl out of the big city but you cant take the city out of the girl.

Hart of Dixie returned to The CW on Tuesday night and Zoe Hart was looking very autumnal in an Of Two Minds tweed jacket paired with a Joie two tone leather mini skirt which she was also seen wearing in episode 7.

Leather skater skirts are hot right now and all over the high street. Topshop do a two tone one in Khaki/black but I would personally stick to one colour in either oxblood or black.

 Tweed jackets are great transitional pieces for spring; my faves are by Missguided and Zara seen below.

 Pastel colours (MissGuided) are a no brainer for spring and bold colours (Zara) are great for an edgier look.
