Style Crush: Jameela Jamil
I love Jameela's quirky fashion sense! I think she always look gorgeous and each month I can't wait to read her column in Company Magazine! Whenever I see a magazine with Jameela on the front or I've heard she's been interviewed in a magazine I have to buy it! I love reading about her style and so this week she's Fashion-Train's Style Crush!
I love how she's always wearing dresses and colourful shoes!
What do you think of Jameela's style? Do you like what she wears?
*UPDATE!*
I may have just got a teeny bit excited when I received a tweet from Jameela Jamil!

Just about any product receives a boost when it gets endorsed by a celebrity. If, say, brooches or bracelets worn by someone at a star-packed event which is the focus of media attention, then the end result could be a huge spike in sales.
Golden Globes – The Height of Fashion
One such event is the Golden Globes, one of the most important award ceremonies in the international film industry. The great and the good of the silver screen turn up, and many of them can be seen wearing some of the most desirable fashion accessories imaginable.
A number of the stars present were wearing earrings, necklaces and other jewelry items made with platinum, which is perhaps the best possible way to flaunt their wealth and success. For example, Angelina Jolie was seen wearing 25-carat platinum and diamond ear studs, as well as a 12-carat platinum and diamond ring. Lorraine Schwartz, the designer of both will have benefitted enormously from seeing her work worn by a star with Angelina Jolie’s appeal.
The Place to Be Seen
Ms Jolie wasn’t the only one wearing some of Lorraine Schwartz’s work. Glee star Jane Lynch and Australian actress Kate Beckinsale also took to the red carpet, proudly showing off their expensive new unique jewelry.
Getting Noticed
As is the case with the clothes a star wears to an event like the Globes, the Oscars or the BAFTAs in the UK, the quality of the jewelry can make or break a designer’s career. If the jewelry in question is well received, then the designer can expect to see sales go through the roof. If not, then it could end badly. If you’re a jewelry designer looking for an opportunity to expand your business, and you manage to get a celebrity endorsement, then that alone means your work is of a very high standard.

Vegas Style Part 1
I was able to do some shopping in Las Vegas this week, where they have a gargantuan H&M at Caesars Palace and an oversized Forever 21 at the Fashion Show mall. Naturally, Vegas has an array of sparkly party dresses, eye-catching store displays, and on-trend merchandise, especially since many of the stores are of flagship quality. All of the spring trends were well represented in each store:
How to wear: Wine Jeans
Leather Jacket - Topshop
Stripey Top - Topshop
Wine Jeans - FM Boutique
Chelsea Boots - Linzi Shoes
These wine coloured jeans from FM Boutique are a recent purchase of mine. I've really got into wearing jeans right now (especially since i've never been into wearing them before!)
I can't remember wear I bought my scarf from as I bought it about 3 years ago! but I really like this outfit. It's perfect for those college/uni days and it's a good change to just wearing blue jeans!
I absolutely love these jeans and think they look perfect with a stripey top and a leather jacket. They were a bargain and were only £24!
What do you think of wine coloured jeans? Are you loving coloured jeans at the moment too?
Blogger Favourites
I never do these kind of posts so I thought it's time I did one!

I love Kim's blog as she has such great style and I absolutely love her DIY posts! I was lucky enough to meet Kim at the Very.co.uk blogger event a few weeks ago and she's so so lovely! (so go check out her blog now!)
I found Amy's blog The Little Magpie only a few weeks ago and I'm already hooked on reading it! She has a fab sense of style and I absolutely adore her outfit posts!
Kavita and me have read each others blogs for years. I still love reading her blog She Wears Fashion now! (previously Iheartvintagex)! Me and Kavita are really good friends In real life and I met her through blogging events about a year ago! She's absolutely lovely and I love reading all her posts especially her outfit posts and how she pulls of wearing vintage clothes so well. She's genuinely one of the nicest people I've met and I hope you check out her blog!

In Love With Diesel
Diesel's a brand I've never really looked at before. I know they are very famous for their signature 'Diesel Jeans' but I've never thought to look at what else they sell. So I thought I'd pick out some of the Diesel Items right now which I'm loving (including Diesel Jeans!)
I love these red trousers and this grey shirt! I think the items of clothing which Diesel sell are very much the style 'staples' which every woman/girl needs!
all items are from Diesel at ASOS
After all this I'm a little bit in love with Diesel clothing, which items your favourite?

5. Ecru Feather Tee - £20 Miss Selfridge

Baroque Print & Platform Boots
Baroque print is a huge trend right now! There's so many dresses, pairs of leggings & bodycon skirts around right now with this print on. I absolutely love this dress! It's red baroque print and I absolutely love it!
Baroque Print Dress - FM Boutique
Leather Jacket - Topshop
Tights - ASOS
Platform Ankle Boots - Runway Shoes
I love these shoes! I'm sure all of you have seen the photos of these shoes I've put up on Twitter & Instagram that they are my new favourite shoes! and because they are black they go with everything! The heel on these shoes look massive and the platform on the shoes make people think they are unbearable to walk in but they are actually REALLY comfy! I'm going to be wearing these shoes so much in the coming months!
(and the best bit is Fashion-Train Readers can get 10% runway shoes using the code 'trainrun'!)

Stripes & Leather
I love this leather jacket! It really does go with everything! I just love wearing it right now with the items of clothes i wouldn't normally wear as they clash with my coloured jackets. I've never really had a black jacket before so this leather jacket was such a good buy!
For those of you who follow me on Instagram you will have seen some of these photos a few days ago!
Leather Jacket - Topshop
Leggings - Topshop
Striped Top - Forever 21
I love this outfit as it's really easy and simple to wear for a casual day out!

Spring 2012 Retail Report
Besides the longer days and mild weather that comes with spring, I'm looking forward to the arrival of new trends in retail stores. I snap photos almost every time that I go shopping (which is often), and I will be posting more such photos on Fashion Trend Guide in the future. Some of the trends I'm excited to see this spring include: conversational prints, neon, ankle boots, and bold colors for
Leopard & Leather
I'm getting into clothes which I wouldn't normally wear at the moment. It's one of my resolutions for this year. I also said (I would wear more jeans!) so I bought these leopard print ones which are by Glamorous at Ark Clothing. They were a bargain too at £29.99!.
Leather Jacket - Topshop
Blouse - Primark
Jeans - Glamorous at Ark Clothing
Boots - Next
I absolutely love these jeans. I'm really into patterned jeans at the moment and I've got my eye on this gorgeous stripey pair by Motel Rocks! I think patterned jeans look great with plain tops/blouses/tshirts and really do change an outfit and If any of you are thinking about getting yourself a pair of patterned jeans! (do it!)
Leather Jacket - Topshop

I took these photos earlier in the week and I'm so glad I did as it's snowed so much today! (Apparently this will last a few days yet!) and it's taking forever to travel anywhere so I'm watching a bit of Jonathan Ross! (how fit is David Beckham?!)
Are you a fan of Leopard print? Would you wear patterned jeans?

Very.co.uk Press Day S/S 2012
I was lucky enough to be invited to Very's S/S 2012 collection in London last friday! After quite a few train delays I got there and it was so great to see some of my favourite bloggers Sophie,Kim, Jen,Kristabel & Kavita!
I absolutely love going to London for press events and it's one of my favourite things to do. There's nothing better than visiting the capital, meeting your favourite bloggers and having a good old natter and have a drink and some yummy food! I love seeing the collections before they are instore/online and I'm also making wishlists of what I need to buy next season!
These cupcakes were amazing! I had one of them and it was so nice and was raspberry flavour!
These brownies were so good aswell technically one of your five-a-day! ;) okay well the raspberry on the top is...
My favourite brand by Very is definitely the 'Love Label'. I love the candy coloured styles and the trims on the clothes especially the Aqua lace top. I loved the bright colours and can't wait to buy something from the new collection!
I really like the bright colours of the shoes especially these pink wedges! (definitely perfect for S/S 2012!)
My favourite shoes were definitely these Snake print wedges!
(L-R Me & Kavita, Me & Kim)
It was fab to see Kavita again and have a good catch up and It was great to finally meet Kim after reading her blog for so so long!
Thanks again to Very.co.uk for a fab afternoon and thankyou to the lovely Suzi @ Style Suzi for hosting such a fab event!
