When it came to fashion, the early noughties weren't exactly kind to any of us.

From teaming Ugg boots with ra-ra skirts to smothering ourselves in velour, we're all lucky we made it out alive.

And no one appears to know this more than Justin Timberlake who made the very bold decision to address his most iconic fashion disaster while appearing on an Australian talk show recently.

After being asked what he's learned from his time in the music industry, Justin didn't offer any music-related pearls of wisdom, but instead made reference to perhaps one of the most misguided fashion choices of the 21st century – the double denim.

Referring to the moment he and former girlfriend, Britney Spears, rocked a red carpet in matching ensembles, Justin said: "If you wear denim on denim, it will get documented."

It may have taken more than a decade, but it looks like the man himself is finally able to laugh about it…

Charlotte Letitia Crosby is nothing if not her true, authentic self.

She may have earned millions over the last five years and established a pretty lucrative career for herself as an original Geordie Shore cast member, but if you expected the fame and fortune to go to the Geordie lass's head, you'd be mistaken.

Sounding as down-to-earth as ever during a recent beauty tutorial, the 26-year-old admitted she didn't know why she employed certain methods and confessed to having run out of things to say while showcasing her skills.

And if that wasn't enough, the reality star then unleashed a torrent of expletives after burning herself on her styling tools, and many of her fans on Instagram can't get enough.

"She's f*cking hilarious," wrote one while another added: "Keeping it real…. so funny"

Unfortunately not everyone was as impressed with Charlotte's casual approach to the tutorial, with one Instagram user complaining: "I watched all that to see the end result and there wasn't one."

"So don't you get to see the end result?" added another.

You don't, but you do get to see the Charlotte we all know and love.

She’s drifted between auburn and strawberry blonde shades with ease, but Bella Thorne has now ditched those subtle hues in favour of a more daring look.

The former Disney star took to Instagram yesterday to reveal the effects of an intense red dye job, one which was finished with a solid dose of highlighter green dip-dye.

The 19-year-old actress was not alone in making this drastic transition as she was joined by her sister Dani who displayed their matching tresses online.

“It’s a twin thing,” wrote Dani in a statement which was soon echoed by Bella who said: “Nobody better to twin everything with then my other half (sic).”

With Christmas just around the corner and party season practically upon us, it's time to get geared up for the most glamorous time of the year.

While this season is all about luxe velvet and unicorn sequins, it's also prime time to pull that little black dress out of the wardrobe and get your money's worth.

And as extravagant as this season's collection of party dresses may be, the accessories are to die for.

A great accessory has the power to transform any outfit, and we're proving this by spicing up our fave LBD with some of this season's most fabulous adornments.

For this style challenge, SHEmazing! opted to hit River Island – it's affordable and there are loads of festive-appropriate steals there at the moment.

2) Gatsby glam

If you invest in one accessory this season, make it a faux-fur tippet. Draped over one shoulder, it adds an instant air of luxury to any festive frock. Team with a chain-strap handbag to channel that classic Gatsby glamour. Who said all-black was boring?

4) Gold, pom-poms and faux-fur

Accessorise your LBD with a pom-pom choker and a glitter-encrusted box-bag, and voilá; a fresh, cute and quirky take on a classic look.

Party season is well and truly here, but we simply cannot face wearing killer heels to all the fabulous parties and events we'll be attending (literally, 12 pubs, though).

So, rather than facing the pain of rocking killer heels, why not invest in a gorgeous pair of flats?

Check out our six favourite flats for the festive time of year…

Pretty in pink

How pretty are these beauties from ASOS? Embrace your inner ballerina.

Nothing spices up an outfit quite like a splash of leopard print. Check out these gorgeous flats from New Look

Having big feet isn't exactly easy.

Having big feet when you're a woman is even harder.

From being unable to rock certain styles to squeezing your foot into a shoe that doesn't fit simply because you're an optimistic kind of gal, being any bigger than a size 7 can make life tough.

And here are just ten things you'll recognise from a life spent looking for a shoe that doesn't resemble a canoe.

1. You genuinely felt your mother’s resentment when you graduated from childrens’ prices to adults' prices at the grand old age of six.

"You don't think I feel bad too?!"

2. Asking for your size in a shoe shop feels like a drug deal.

"Don’t cause a scene, but I need a size 9."

3. Men-style loafers don’t look cute on you when you’re above a size 6.

"Are you wearing your granddad’s shoes?"

4. Ballet pumps look long enough in general, but when you’re tipping a size 9 you may as well be rocking canoes.

“I’m actually only a 9, but I see why you’d think I’m a size 13.”

5. Shoe shops that display pairs instead of singles are your favourite places to shop.

"No human contact in this paradise!”

6. Peep-toes heels were your only man when they didn’t have your size.

“Don’t mind my toes dragging on the ground – they’re meant to do that.”

7. Swapping shoes with your squad was an activity you couldn’t get involved in.

“If anyone needs me, I’ll be under the stairs admiring your dad’s wellies.”

8. You tend to stick to neutral colours when it comes to footwear for fear of drawing too much attention to yourself.

“You’d be able to see me from the Mars lads, and that’s just it.”

9. Unlike other girls who’ve tried on their boyfriend’s runners for comedy purposes, you’ve tried them on after admiring the roominess.

“And tell me, do you find they give good support?”

10. Buying shoes online is a no-go because you just can’t trust they’ll fit until you’ve done a lap of an actual store (under the cover of darkness, obvs.)

“Oh, they SAY size 9, but you and I both know I won’t get more than halfway in.”

There’s little better than finding a One4all gift card nestling in the middle of a birthday or Christmas card.

But we’d be lying if we said we didn’t regularly curse the fact we couldn’t put it to good use at our favourite Irish store – Penneys (obvs.)

It looks, however, like our luck has finally changed!

Brace yourselves ladies, because today Penneys announced they have officially partnered with the gift card company!

So, if you’ve a card or two lying around or been saving one up for a serious spree, now’s the time!

Run, don’t walk.

With nineties fashion staples populating stores across the country, it’s no surprise that mesh crop tops are dominating the blogosphere.

But rather than add another item of clothing to your already bulging shopping cart, why not try make your own?

A four-year-old YouTube video by ItsMyRayeRaye demonstrates how easily a mesh crop top can be crafted from a pair of ordinary tights.

The brief clip encourages viewers to “look cute” and “save money” by snipping the feet off their old tights, before cutting a v-shape in the crotch.

Ladies, it's that simple.

Making sure your seasonal wardrobe is fully stocked is one of winter's many chores.

From Christmas drinks and nights out to cosy basics for lounging on those chilly Irish evenings, we've found the best on-budget bits for any festive occassion. 

The ultimate party top

Whether it's 12 pubs or your work Christmas party, every girl needs a staple top to see her through the season.

Luckily, Penneys is serving up this asymmetrical piece which doesn't even need added accessories due to its' built-in choker. And for only €8, we'll see you in the queue.

The slip dress

While it's definitely not the weather for silk, our obsession with slip dresses is still going strong, especially when we saw this scarlet slip from Boohoo. 

Add a ribbed, long sleeved polo neck underneath to keep cosy or dress it up for evening with an oversized boyfriend coat. 

The velvet choker

Chokers are here to stay for the party season, but amp it up with a few embellishments.

This baroque style piece from New Look's Christmas collection is an on-budget €9.99 and is the ideal piece to jazz up that LBD. 

The seasonal watch

Staying on time in the Christmas rush has never been so chic. 

ASOS has just dropped this minimalist emerald green time keeper, so treat yourself or a loved one to this evergreen piece.

The perfect jumpsuit

Culottes are still going strong, and why wouldn't they be? The wide legged trouser style is comfortable, elegant and shows off your amazing new shoes brought by Santa.

The strappy top leaves plenty of room for statement jewellery and a helping of festive faux fur, and best of all? It's only €29.99 from New Look, in stores November 16th. 

A cosy cap

Keeping warm in the winter months is a nationwide hobby, and there's no better way than with a cosy hat. 

This ASOS  pom pom knitted beanie is the perfect stocking filler at only €16. Or you could just keep it for yourself. 

A velvet top

90s necklines aren't going anywhere, and luckily this River Island velvet plisse top is bringing full festive season glam.

Ideal for a quiet Christmas eve beverage or a full on night on the town, this top says winter without screaming December 25th. In stores this month. 

Festive PJs

We all need some cosy, fluffy flannels in our lives, especially when the winter weather kicks in.

The countdown to The Late Late Toy Show has officially begun (it's on the 2nd of December, people) and Penneys is serving up the very best in Late Late Toy Show themed night wear. Lying on the couch with junk food and Ryan Tubridy's festive antics in front of us is our idea of Christmas heaven, so having the cheap and cheerful (€14) outfit to match is a no-brainer.

She’s gone glitter cowgirl, netted one piece and who could forget that infamous meat dress?

But in recent month’s Lady Gaga’s style could be described as verging on ordinary.

Thankfully the star has now corrected that impression by stepping out in a bizarre tulle ensemble in a unique show of support for US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Last night, the 30-year-old hitmaker took to Instagram to reveal the eye-catching outfit which appears to involve visible underwear, a partially mesh skirt, a feather-topped cowboy hat and a whole lot of tightly scrunched tulle.

Each of the four images she uploaded is branded with an election focused caption.  These include “In times of stress I like to be fashionable #Election2016 #GoVote #ImWithHer” and “Let’s go you modern suffragettes, go put on your hats and #GoVote ‘Corsets Off’”.
