The battle of the beauties is bigger than ever as fashion’s fiercest competition, Britain’s Next Top Model, makes its long awaited return.

Need a break from the hum-drum of the working week? Why not enter to win tickets to see this summer’s hottest music acts?

I found this nostaglic tumblr website the other day that evoked all sorts of childhood memories. The site:  http://allmyfriendsliveonthefloor.tumblr.com features childhood photos from the 60's, 70's & 80's and it's hard not to remember back to your own childhood when browsing the site.

The Haute Couture AW 2010 shows started with a stylish bang yesterday in fashion capital, Paris. Oh how we wish we were there but instead a trendy bunch of celebs (and scarily stylish Journos) hit the front row of some of the Catwalks of the season.

Its official the bumbag is back. But forget the 80s, tragic synthetic fabrics and neon swatches we’re talking D&G, Marc Jacobs and Jonathan Sauders for style. Should we be scared?!

High on my winter wish list is the leather Burberry bomber jackets lined with shearling.Yes I know, it’s sweltering in London at the moment, but trust me ... shearling and bomber jackets (or flying jackets) are going to be HOT, HOT, HOT this winter. 

Anna Lou is super excited to announce the arrival of our new Daisy Headbands. Available in five summery shades, including peach, white and red.

One of our favourite magazines Lula have joined together with super luxe department store Harvey Nichols to create the prettiest of  pop-up shops. Non-Knightsbridge residents can also buy online thank God. You can find limited edition tshirts from Rodarte (cleverly branded 'Radarte'), frothy Erdem dresses, glittery silver shoes from Miu Miu, the sweetest romper suit from cult Australian label Lover and Lolita-esque red love-heart sunglasses from those cheeky Italians at Moschino.

Maybe we’re all just a nosey bunch but we still can’t stop perusing over the latest blog find at Anna Lou HQ. What Katie Wore is a fabulous blog dedicated to fashion and unique style.

I’m currently reading the most fascinating fashion biographical story of Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld and their rise to the top of the fashion world - and their subsequent rivalry getting there....

If you ever wanted to get your name on a guest-list it would most definitely be this one. The Burberry Tea Party in LA.

"You've mastered the hand bag what's next?" say's one.  "The surfboard" says Chanel's Creative Director, Karl Lagerfeld.

No, not Acne as in pimples. Acne as in the super-cool Swedish fashion label that have just opened doors to a London boutique, a stones throw from the impossibly chic Dover Street Market in Mayfair.

From the chignon, bun, knot and pony tail - this season hair is hottest when up.

No your not dreaming - honest. It's true. Tonight from 8pm to Midnight everything, yes everything at Anna Lou will be half price.

A few blogs ago we mentioned the gorgeous and addictive blog - What Katie Wore. Do keep up. And looky what she was sporting on Monday! Our spanking new daisy headband. Katie called it a fried egg - but we'll forgive her as it looks a treat on her noggin.

For one month only you can enjoy a bit leisurely ping pong across London. Yes, you can hone your skills Forrest Gump style as 100 ping pop tables appear across the capital. With bats and balls included there is never has never been a better time to stop by and enjoy the sport with your friends.

During my breakfast this morning I was shocked to come across a naked picture of 55-year-old, model Janice Dickinson.

ALoL intern, Jaye is our guest blogger today. With her keen eye for fashion she has all the latest gossip on the trend to be rocking the season ahead…

I'm not sure how I came across this article in the New York Times - but I haven't stopped thinking what a great idea it is. Doesn't matter what your budget is (whether it's New Look or Chanel) we're all guilty of buying too many clothes (because of that giddy new clothes feeling) yet not making the most of what's already in our wardrobe.
