FASHION/ Weekly Style Round Up
Casual Style
This is Rihanna’s take on a going out to a fancy dinner look. She’s THAT frickin’ cool! And I had to include my E! gurl Guiliana for working my fave monochrome into her comfy yet very chic airport outfit. Nicely done lovely! And I’m totally hearing on Emma’s print shirt combo with a bit of a boho twist (I’m so ripping this off) but I can’t help but think it looks a little warm for the hot weather we’ve had in Britain this week no?
Evening Style
Wake up Maggie, I think I’ve got somethin’ to say to yoooouuuuuu…..I. Heart. Your. Dress!! Great colour pop, awesome zip feature in the back yet total simple. Slayed. Kimba is proof right here that pregnancy doesn’t mean you can’t still look fabulous at all times (big up the fellow Yorkshire lass!) whilst looking serene and glowing. Rebecca’s had a lot of stick for the way she looks (she was an athlete, not a celeb) but I had to include her as she looks totally confident and happy with herself (whilst looking bangin’ in that colour pop frock) to celebrate that she’s looking good only for herself as all women should! And her future hubby Harry who tweeted the pic with an avalanche of compliments, she has him trained already hehe. I liked Roxanne’s cute 60s take on races style – I’ve tried something similar myself before and I think it’s a great way of staying stylish and standing out for the right reasons (Not because you have a daft hat or are having some sort of malfunction as you see time and time again in the Mail this time of year). And Rosie? Well that’s it really, just Rosie! This outfit is cute, comfy and simple, and Rosie makes it look elegant and chic. Unfortunately i didn’t have enough room for the whole pic so you can’t see the crowning glory of her look – Jason Statham on her arm (ooooohhhh yyeeesssssss)
Award/TV Show Style
Cheryl’s colour combo of the green (kind of a mad mix of pastel and neon, feeling THAT) and pink is very of the season, and this style both hugs her curves and covers her modestly which is perfect for daytime filming of The X Factor. And, I also use the Loreal Wild Ombré that she uses…that practically makes us twins right? Right?? I wish! Sigh. I’m a big Kelly O fan (Fashion Police is my Monday lunchtime programme of choice) big fan of monochrome (did I mention that?) big fan of purple hair. ‘Nuff said. I like that Vanessa has stuck with her boho guns for her rd carpet look with the maxi skirt and crop top but given it a polished edge that is very in keeping with summer (another look that I’m ripping off this year). I do like a bit of maxi action in the summer months!
More Nail Envy

Can we just take a moment….
When was the last time you saw a pic of Britney looking put together on her day off, in the summer?? Well, it’s finally here! You work those shorty shorts B***h! If your mama was J-Lo you’d kind of expect to be one well dressed lil tyke anyway, but this pic of young Max is making me think that he’s a pretender to Romeo Beckham’s fash crown! Very cool.
There was a lot of style this week I guess! Thanks for reading, more posts coming next week paying homage to Ladies Day race style and Holidays.

FASHION/ Hot Nights and Turkish Delights
That tricky first night of the holiday look – you don’t want to pull out your best outfits until you know the best places to wear them, but you still want to make your fashion mark. How did I do? I should point out that there are no filters, the lighting really was this crazy!
All of the pieces were pretty cheap too! Little tip re the pool sliders- may be best to break them in at home with a thick pair of socks first, the luxury of the real leather has blistered my toes from the top edge. Or maybe don’t walk as far as I did in them!

FASHION/ Peachy
It was HOT HOT HOT on Saturday evening as I was getting ready to hit the town for drinks with girls, so I decided to be brave and try out a new outfit….I hope I did it justice?!?!
For curvy girls like me this is a great shape (but I assure you that my stomach was sucked in as tight as it would frickin’ go at all times when I was stood up as I’m not blessed with a flat one!) and very cute colour that would flatter most skin tones. I purposely didn’t accessorise as I wanted to let outfit and the beautifully embossed fabric do the talking. Without a doubt, the most beautiful co-ord I’ve ever owned! Looking forward to investing in more pieces from this brand (I already have another gorge dress to share in the foreseeable)
Dress- Honor Gold http://www.honorgold.co.uk/product/nina-skirt-crop-top/
Bag- River Island (just sold out!)
Shoes- New Look (sold out, similar here) http://www.newlook.com/shop/shoe-gallery/view-all-wide-fit/wide-fit-white-wooden-platform-heels_309528610Coming soon to Curious Alice Loves – beauty must haves, holiday style diaries, beautiful dresses galore….don’t miss it!

BLOGGING/ Heeeeeerrrrrrrrre’s Alice!
After lots of hard work (and probably some womanly nagging on my part) I’m thrilled to showcase the official curiousalice to you all!
This was designed by my very talented friend (and for many years very caring and patient surrogate father) Tony Broomfield (http://tonesart.vpweb.co.uk/). The brief was a modern Alice in Wonderland with a fashion-y twist (along with a little of the food and drink that Alice -and I – adore so much!) which I think he has totally nailed. Check out the banner at the top of the page, cute right? Tone also does really cool graphic design that I’ve had the pleasure of seeing over the years on birthday cards (and a mocked up OK! Magazine for my wedding) and is a pretty good photographer, have a look at this shot he took of me and Mr Alice
It looks amazing on our wall in Black and White too.
Hope you like Alice, keep coming back to see her lots so she doesn’t get lonely!

FASHION/ Weekly Style Roundup
Casual Looks
How these dolls look so cool when it’s so hot outside is beyond me! Working denim with a good heel is always a winner in my book, and Suki looks so cute and kooky (no rhyme intended) in her jumper dress for a long plane ride.
Summer Looks
And these dolls look so hot but are staying so cool! Roch is taking a tip from Mich K last week and wearing her own design (looking utterly flawless in the process), there’s a reason it’s almost sold out! Grab it while you can here http://www.very.co.uk/rochelle-humes-printed-woven-top/1403413595.prd
The rest are a perfect combo of my personal style faves – shirt dress, pattern, monochrome, funky sunnies, cool blue hair, pencil skirt and slogan tee (Cara made me do it, eek!) you get a couple of similar looks to Jourdan’s tea from ILW (http://www.inlovewithfashion.com/categories/Clothing/SLOGAN-TEES/)Evening Style
I’m not the biggest Amy Childs fan if I’m honest, and it has been whispered in the last year or so that bandage dresses are a little dated now (which I disagree with, by the way). However this one is a great neutral palette and an on trend Bardot shape which bring it right back into date in my opinion. Also, bandage fabric is like an entire outfit of spanx and smooths EVERYTHING out, who doesn’t love that!?!?
Nails Nails Nails
Reality stars be bringing the nail envy this week!
Working on bringing the blog a cute new look with some artwork (I’m going cartoon y’all) as well as a very special collaboration….stay tuned for those
Until then, Stay Stylish
