Jumpsuits are bang on trend at the moment.

There are so many different style and patterns, it can all be a bit overwhelming!

Patterned and light, comfy jumpsuits, like Selena and Alessandra’s are best for daytime.

They can be paired with gladiator sandals for a cute summery look.

Jumpsuits that are that little bit dressier are great for a going-out look, just pop on some heels, red lips and cute clutch like Gwen for instant chic.

Jumpsuits like Rosie’s can be dressed up or down as they have that element of versatility in the colour but are still comfy enough for daytime.

Sometimes you want a really specific piece of clothing and can’t find it ANYWHERE! Well, there’s an app for that.

Or maybe you just aren’t 100% sure you don’t look like Lady Gaga leaving the house and need a second opinion.

But there is no one home… there’s an app for that too!

Whatever your dilemma, it’s nothing a trip to the app store can’t fix.

1. Shopstyle
Do you really, really want a black top with daisies on it; long-sleeved and cotton only? This app will search a huge database of online shopws to find it for you (if it exists!)

2. Go try it on
Not sure about the bag with this outfit? Snap a picture and upload it, other users will be more than willing to tell you to change.

3. Pinterest
Pinterest is brilliant for style inspiration and can help you plan items you need before a big shopping trip. And you can save photos you like on your very own style board.

4.Stylebook
Can’t quite put an outfit together just by looking in your wardrobe? Sometimes its hard, especially at 6.30am! Take photos of all your clothes, put pieces together and save them. You’ll never be stuck again!

5. Net-a-Porter
Because a girl can always dream…

Hot pink is back on our style radars after months of pastels and rose-based hues.

You can embrace the colour without having to do it head to toe like J-Lo, why not incorporate some of the lively, fun-loving colour into your wardrobe this season?

Miranda’s amazing dress is more of a Barbie doll pink than a hot pink and it suits her cute personality to a tee. The fit doesn’t hurt either of course!

Mel B takes a leaf out of Jennifer Lopez’s book and actually pointed out the similarity between their outfits on her Twitter account with this hot pink t-shirt.

We love the look with the black jeans a bit more than J-Lo’s matching pants though!

Perhaps it may have worked a bit better if the outfit had a pattern. And was slightly less…well, pink!

Reese knows how to wear hot pink and tones it down with a summery white skirt and black blazer.

Following the loss of creative designer Emma Hill, it was no secret that luxury handbag company Mulberry were in some difficulty.

Hill was responsible for the rise in sales of Mulberry’s expensive handbags thanks to the likes of the Alexa and Del Ray bags among others.

The designer made the beautiful bags accessible to everyday women, not just the wealthy.

She has not yet been replaced within the company.

The thing about Mulberry handbags was that if a fashionable woman decided she wanted one, she could save for one, they were attainable.

The appointment of CEO Bruno Guillon in 2012 changed this. It was decided the brand would aim for the super-wealthy.

By upping prices and using more expensive fabrics, they alienated their biggest market.

Now it looks as if the brand is paying the price. It was announced yesterday that Guillon would step down as CEO and the company’s chairman Godfrey Davis would take the helm.

Can they save the luxury handbag brand? We hope so!

Summer is coming, you have a choice: bare your legs or bare your midriff.

Many women hate the thought of getting their tummies out but these outfits allow for either a subtle glimpse if you are feeling self-conscious.

We love the patterned skirt and top combos worn by Katy and Beyoncé, the pencil skirt style suit the looks perfectly.

Kim K’s look is a little bit more understated and classic. It has just the right amount of skin exposure but is still demure as the length of the skirt is perfect. We love the lace!

Doutzen’s skirt is a little different and has a flare to it but the look is still very Parisian chic which we love.

Dame Vivienne Westwood is known for her proud stance as a vegetarian and campaigning for PETA.

But in this new video, released by PETA, the fashion designer tells us the ways in which being a vegetarian can actually impact your water consumption also.

Vivienne tell us that the meat industry is not only the “worst polluter of the planet but also squanders most of our water”.

In an interview following the video Vivienne goes on to divulge her unusual bathing rituals, including reusing her husband’s bath water, saying: “I’m not used to the habit of showering. I just wash my bits and rush out in the morning. I more often than not get in the bath after Andreas.”

When American designer and judge on the US Project Runway, Isaac Mizrahi, was asked about the lack of plus-size models on the show, he didn’t shy away from the question.

Instead, he embraced it.

The question asked was: “When will Project Runway have contestants who design specifically for plus-size persons? Not everyone is a size 2 and we are unrepresented. There is no reason why a plus-size person cannot be fashionable.”

Rather than agreeing that there should be contestants who “design specifically for plus-size persons”, Isaac spoke to Huffington Post Live about his belief in integration within the fashion world.

That instead of having separate designers for plus-size that all brands should create plus-size.

Isaac also spoke remembering how it felt as a younger boy who was “plus-size” being sent to the “husky” section.

He was also told he couldn’t wear platforms because they would make him look fat.

Trends come and go which is why it is important to make your home classic and timeless – but that doesn’t mean you have to forego the trends forever!

1. Neutral wall and furnishing colours
Painting and buying core furniture pieces only happens every couple of years. That hot pink sofa might not look so hot then.

2. Pick your trends
If you have to indulge in the trend of the moment, be it animal print or bold colours, choose pieces like throws, rugs, artwork and pillows. These can be cheaper than installing a leopard print carpet that will be out of fashion next week.

3. Wood
Wood will never go out of fashion. Though minimalism may be all the rage, wood in a home will always be warm, comforting and look great.

4. Minimal statement pieces
Less is more when it comes to decorating your home. Have a minimal amount of stand-out pieces to allow for a more classic and timeless look.

5. Comfort
Above all, always choose comfort over trend. If it is comfortable now, it will be in five years.

The boyfriend jean is back and it is as baggy as ever before.

Not that we’re complaining – we secretly miss our wide Hobo jeans from back in the day. But they can be a little tricky to style.

Jessica Alba, Rihanna, Rosie Huntington-Whitely and Nicole Richie show us how to rock the boyfriend jean.

Because they are baggy you really need to add a more feminine touch to the outfit to avoid looking slightly slobby.

Add a cute top, a printed sweater or a flowing kimono to pull off the look.

Add some heels or cute flats to finish off the trendy look.

It’s that awkward time of year again – too cold for those short sleeved tops but too warm for that winter coat. Not to worry, we have some top tips to make sure you keep comfortable during the spring months ahead.

  • It’s hard to be certain with our unpredictable Irish weather, but we think it might be finally safe to ditch those winter boots in favour of some slip on trainers.
  • Even though the sun has started to appear, we wouldn’t recommend baring any skin just yet; however, you can never go wrong when it comes to layers. With some clever layering of cardigans, dresses, cami tops and bomber jackets, you can keep warm and stylish at the same time.
  • Shorts are really popular at the moment and by combining them with tights, you can stay warm and fashionable.
  • It may seem ambitious to wear sunglasses in spring but that sun can be surprisingly bright, so why not treat yourself to a brand new pair of shades.
