WAG’s tend to appear splashed across the pages of an array of magazines on a daily basis! This is great news for those that wish to imitate their style! Simply pick up any one of the magazines on sale in your local shop and you will be guaranteed to steal a littl inspiration!
Many wives and girlfriends in fact have their own clothing lines, make-up ranges and perfumes on sale! This makes it that little bit easier to steal their style!
Take the queen WAG VB for example, her statement line of body con dresses are proving to be a sell-out at most major fashion events!
The star does however always look impeccable and this certainly makes her one of the ones to watch!
Even her baby daughter is on trend and often matching her parents! Another thing she is famous for is her heels! She is rarely seen wearing anything but
Just like in the world of clothes, what goes around comes around in the hair world! This season is showcasing an assortment of choppy and razor-like styles, all of which are proving to be a blast from the past!
An assortment of A-list celebrities have recently taken the plunge and swapped their long and luscious locks for something a little more statement in style.
Such a style works to create both a sexy and playful look. The iconic razor-sharp look mainly consists of a variety of shattered lengths. Such lengths work to create an edgy, no nonsense style.
There are no rules with this hairstyle and all lengths should be left a little uneven as appose to perfectly groomed.
This style doesn’t have to be combed to perfection, simply run through it with a pair of Babyliss straighteners.
Alternatively tip your locks upside down and roughly dry your hair with a Babyliss hair dryer.
Finish the look with a fine toothcomb and lashings of hairspray! Backcombing is a great way to add a little extra volume to your locks, simple part you hair into sections and work your way through your locks.
The end result will offer an unmovable style an one that is perfect for both day and night.
Hold up on the back combing for a daytime style and pump if up a notch or two for an evening out on the tiles.
This is certainly a style that is coming back into fashion and one that is in fact very easily achievable. The main effect is created using a razor. A razor is able to achieve a lot more movement than a pair of scissors and works to lift the weight from the hair.
The WAG’s were out in force at this year’s ladies day and certainly showed us a thing or two when it comes to style.
On the cards were elegant nude coloured ruffle dresses, fasinators and chic peep toe heels. The looks were finished with the likes of sequin clutches.
The sequin clutches however probably wouldn’t have held more than a lipstick and a comb, but what else do you really need? Many people make the mistake of ruining a cutesy and elegant look with the addition of a bulky bag! You may think you need to bring the kitchen sink with you, but more often than not you won’t actually have time to re-apply anything but a coat of lip gloss. instead you will be having too much fun mingling with friends and dancing the night away! Leave the heavy make-up for the next morning when one too many drinks the night before make your skin look a little worse for wear!
Bold summer shades were also on the WAGs agenda for the day with bright hues taking centre stage!
When it came to dressing the locks, peacock feathers were a must and what WAG would be a WAG without ruffling a few feathers when it comes to fashionably forward thinking!?
The Saturday’s Frankie is all het up about being called a WAG as people tend to use it as a derogatory term! However the Saturday’s band member doesn’t seem too bothered about the nick name and is said to be absolutely smitten with her new BF!
So are wedding bells going to be chiming anytime in the near future? Definitely not said Frankie, a source has revealed that the singing sensation is quite happy how she is, she is very much in love and would one day hope wedding chimes to be the case, but for now she is quite happy being the girlfriend. After all she is only 22 and that is very young!
She does however hope the term WAG doesn’t begin to define her, we doubt this very much as Frankie was in the Saturday’s before she met her footballer boyf and will continue to sing in the band.
The star is constantly appearing in magazine spreads for her stylish on stage and off stage ensembles, now that she is even more in the public eye, we can only be seeing more of these cleverly put together outfits! This is great news for those that wish to steal the tiny star’s style.
Her haircut is also proving to be quite a hit and is constantly re-created in salons nationwide!

Everybody wants the boho-chic look for all those fabulous summer social events, so here are 5 key pieces to help you achieve this style.
1. The Maxi Dress – whether sheer and floral or tight and stripy, these versatile dresses are a must-have for any boho wannabe’s wardrobe.
2. A Big Floppy Hat – not only do these wildly bohemian hats look majorly stylish they also uphold a practical purpose in hiding your bad hair day or shading your eyes from the summer sun.
3. A Fringed, Tassle Bag – these mock suede bags offer a hint of native Indian style adding some authentic flavour to your boho outfit. You can opt for the larger, more practical tassle bags or the teeny-tiny glamorous bags, either way they will help to create your desired boho image.
4. Gladiator Sandals – even if you’re not visiting the colloseum in Rome, these sandals are the perfect type of footwear to complement your boho outfit. As they come in a huge range of colours and styles you can find the perfect ones to add that extra special ‘oomph’ to your boho look.
5. Lace Waistcoats – This is the ideal accessory to your maxi dress, very popular on the festival scene and potentially equally as popular within the boho crowd. These stylish additions can be worn with most types of dress, playsuits and looks great with high waisted shorts.
These key pieces can be chopped and changed, for example why not swap the big floppy hat with a flower head band – almost like the daisy chains you could sit for hours making, these nymph like head bands look great balanced on tousled, sun kissed tresses. However, the beauty of the Bohemian ideal is that it’s independent so make sure this is apparent in your own, personal boho style.
A good pair of hair straighteners is one of the most useful and flexible tools you will ever own. High quality hair straighteners are not, as the name may suggest, only useful for straightening your hair. As long as the straighteners heat up to high enough temperatures, you can use hair straighteners like the ones produced by ghd to style your hair in many different ways.
Straightening your hair is perhaps the simplest style you can achieve with a heat styler. If your hair is naturally very curly and stubborn, however, the process may take a little longer. Quality stylers like ghd straighteners rise to high temperatures that break down the hydrogen bonds in your hair that make it curl. Straightening is a simple process once you get the hang of it – you simply separate your hair into sections, then clamp the irons of the straightener around each piece, close to the scalp, and draw slowly downwards towards the tips. Move the styler in a slow but consistent sweep. If you go too fast, then your hair may not be exposed to the heat long enough to straighten. If you stop on one section of hair too long, you risk damaging it by overheating.
Curling your hair is actually a similar process to straightening, even though at first that may seem like a contradiction in terms! As with straightening, you need to separate your hair into sections and then clamp the straighteners around the hair closest to your scalp. However, as you begin to draw the styler downwards, make sure that you stop before you reach the tip. Then roll the styler back towards your head, curling the hair around it. When you have curled all the way back to your scalp, hold in place for ten seconds or so. If you want lose curls, hold for a short time, or for tight curls hold for a little longer. Then gently pull the styler out of the curl you have created, not back the way you came but sideways. This prevents you from undoing the work you have just done.
These are two of the main styles you can create with hair straighteners, and you can add as much variation to the basis of those styles as you like as well as creating many more. There are hundreds of styles to choose from, and the only way you are going to learn is to experiment as much as possible. For one more possible style, you can use hair straighteners to style an asymmetric bob. Simply proceed as if you were straightening your hair, only on one side of your head flick the hair outwards when you reach the tips, and on the other side flick inwards. This will create a styled bob with an asymmetric twist!
Increasingly in recent years, iconic female music artists have been branching out into other areas. Acting, fragrances and clothing lines are just a few of the areas of interest into which major female artists such as Jennifer Lopez and Christina Aguilara have expanded in attempts to reinvigorate their careers, and to capture the essence of their performance personality in fashion and style.
Victoria Beckham’s venture into clothing has been one of the most successful expansions to date, contrary to many people’s expectations. Unwilling to live in David’s shadow and unable to recapture her performance past in the Spice Girls, Victoria Beckham took a step out into the world of fashion and has so far been a surprising success with her sleek, sophisticated designs.
Victoria’s debut denim collection launched way back in 2007, to a heightened level of anticipation and a great deal of press coverage waiting to slam her latest attempt to make it as an individual icon rather than as half of ‘The Beckhams’. This denim collection wasn’t Vic’s first foray into fashion, having already designed jeans, handbags and jewellery for other brands. However, this was her great chance to set herself up as an iconic designer with her own collections, backed by a powerful name. As much as Victoria Beckham wants to set herself apart from her football star husband, being part of one of the world’s greatest power couples can’t be bad for publicity.
If you’re interested in any of Victoria Beckham’s clothing, you’d better be prepared to shell out big cash; these clothes are top of the range fashion and cost a pretty penny to boot. A good place to look for celebrity designs at reasonable prices is online at department stores. However, if you’re looking for sizes above an American 4 or a UK size 8, Victoria Beckham’s range probably isn’t up your street. Designed for the super skinny like Beckham herself, this clothing range doesn’t extend into the average American or British dress size.
Clogs and kitten heels appear to be the biggest shoe trends of 2011, in fact both of these styles of shoe first made an appearance on the 2010 catwalks and are still going strong for 2011. They are therefore definite investments for the new season, as elements from each can be used again and again in future seasons.
Clogs generally come in the shape of clunky and chunky wooden styled shoes, which may not sound like the most dainty or glamorous of footwear but is however making a big impact on today’s trends. The clog in fact reached new heights in 2010 and every fashionista left, right and centre wanted to invest in the all-new chunky heel. The brass-studded styles are the ones that have lived on into 2011 and proving to be still somewhat influential on this year’s catwalks.
The largest style inspiration for this trend has come from the Swedish, who first invented the clog shoe, complete with a wooden sole and leather upper. Designers have taken the overall shape of the original clog shoe and accessorised it with stud embellishments in order to create a contemporary version of the original.
Kitten heels are also a must this season and are a great alternative to super high heels, especially if you are planning on being on your feet all day! However, this season’s kitten heel is somewhat controversial in style and takes influences from both the 50’s and 60’s.
This season’s favourites are dainty, pointed and either completely minimal in style or over the top and retro-inspired. Kitten heeled sandals are also a great option for the summer months and are just that little bit more dressy than your average flats. On a colder day wear with chunky knit socks or block coloured opaque tights!
Coleen Rooney has been photographed looking glamorous as ever as she enjoyed doing a spot of shopping with a friend in Liverpool high street.
Coleen who is clearly already on the way to losing the weight she gained while pregnant with son Kai, now three-months-old, brightened up the dreary weather in her suave, red chiffon dress.
After embarking on an intense diet and exercise regime following Kai’s birth, Coleen has been photographed looking increasingly slim, and the inspirational mother of one has enjoyed showing off her returning slim figure in a series of figure hugging outfits.
Coleen admitted she was in no rush to loose the weight but she did comment. ‘Because I am short, I sometimes look bigger than I am, especially in pictures.’
The accessory queen paired the red dress with a classic, black structured jacket, tights and shoe boots. She also added a designer Chanel handbag and a cheeky animal print scarf to complete the look. Shoes and bags, scarf’s and bangles, the 23-year-old WAG has got the perfect, matching accessories for every occasion.
But the best accessory of all was undoubtedly the red United Colours of Benetton shopping bag, which, much to Mrs Rooney’s embarrassment was coincidently an identical colour to her day dress.
Being a WAG has in itself become a fashion statement. So here is PART TWO of how to be the best WAG you can.
Thou Must Wear Heels…
If they are not over 6 inches then they are not heels, all WAG’s own a pair of “practical” 6 inch round toe, stilettos. Favourites are black or nude patents as they compliment every outfit, but as Spring approaches maybe you can afford to be more daring with colours.
Thou Should Always Hide Behind Sunglasses…
If you do have to nip to the shop, yet you’re too busy to look perfect. Take precautions. Firstly, make sure you are complete with oversized sunglasses preferably Christian Dior or Gucci. The frames can be used to hide a whole number of things such as; dark circles under eyes, lack of eye make up/ false lashes, puffy eyes and even blemishes on the upper cheeks.
Thou Should Always Cover The Head When Not Wanting To Be Photographed…
Not feeling very photogenic, wear a large hood/ cap/ hat to keep you hidden from paparazzi. Hoods hide bad hair days, lack of extensions, general bad days and they distract attention away from your face. Cover the head is also a fashion statement in itself and tells the paparazzi to politely leave you alone.
Thou Should Own The Perfect Pair Of Skinny Jeans…
Skinny’s are a must for a daytime look. Whether you are taking the children out or doing a spot of shopping, make sure you are wearing your figure hugging skinny jeans to keep you looking slim and slender day in day out.
Thou Must Wear Designer…
Designer garments are vital, now outfit is complete without a cheeky Chanel handbag or a stunning pair of Louboutins or even an entire Balmain outfit.
