Lindsay Lohan has released her new line of leggings, as promised! And, well… they’re different! $132 (£87) will afford you the black leggings complete with integrated knee pads (just what you needed!) shown below.

Failing that, you could pay $99 (£65) and get yourself golden girl Jill Mastersonesque legs! If you fancy less controversial leggings, with a more everyday price tag, take a look at the high shine wet look leggings or ¾ length leggings. Just the job for the perfect clubbing night out!

Psychology tells us that blue is a peaceful colour, representing tranquillity and loyalty. Whatever… all we know is that designer consultants at the Pantone Colour Institute say that the hot colour fashion for Spring 2009 is blue.

So what new blue treats have we got for you then? Well, the sexy satin panelled dress or the bandage dress to name a few. Don’t think that blue is your colour? No problem! The contrast knotted black grecian dress adds a contemporary twist to the traditional little black dress or the face print batwing top provides a sleek yet casual touch to any wardrobe.  Regardless of taste, springs fashion is sure to produce some interesting new design ideas.

Manish Malhotra created a bit of a flutter at the recent Lakme Fashion Week when he got  Bollywood star, Shah Rukh Khan, to walk the ramp showcasing his designs.

But while catwalks take only a part of his time, Malhotra concentrates his talent on designing Bollywood outfits. He has designed outfits for all the stars including Kareena Kapoor and Urmila Matondkar.

He even designed Deepika’s outfits in her movie debut Om Shanti Om, as well as her item number Love mera hit hit in SRK’s home production, Billu.

Britney Spears is definitely a fashion icon.  That young ladies knows how to dress, and how to entertain.

Her latest tour, Circus provides its audiences not only with the hottest fashion wear but some tip top entertainment too.

Her school girl outfit in Baby One More Time was hot, but her latest, designer bra and knickers set, is equally going to get hearts pumping.

Having said that it is nice to see her wearing some normal outfits too.  Last week she was spotted out shopping wearing a pair of leggings and a t-shirt, to give that girl next door look.

If you’re into your fashion and fancy yourself as a bit of a style guru, how about becoming a fashion designer?

Satellite TV channel Bravo have decided they want women’s fashion to be a must see event, so they’ve launched a fashion reality TV show called The Fashion Show (don’t blame us for the uninspired name).

Starting on May 7, 15 fashion designers from around the world will be fighting it out to see who makes the best women’s leggings, tunic skirt or cocktail dress.

At the end of the event there’s a be a top fashion show where all the ladies evening wear, swimming costumes and designer clothes will be shown off.  Best of all, you the viewer will be able to vote for your favourite.

Today is the last day of the Milan fashion show, and what a show it has been! So what have we learnt?

We’re going back in time to the 1970/1980’s with “batwing” sleeves, blousons and micro-minis.

Bling is back and it’s bigger than ever, heavy metals such as pewter, bronze and gold are to make neckpieces and pendants, the bigger the better!

Tasteful transparency has emerged as a top trend, which could easily be achieved with  mesh tops.

Grey clouds hang over the show this year as the economic crisis approaches the fashion houses of Italy. “Just Cavalli” Roberto Cavalli’s younger, cheaper fashion line had to pull out of the show after the lines producer “Ittierre” went bust, meaning half of the clothes didn’t turn up! An undeterred Cavalli still took his “tough chic” main line to the show, pictured below.

Lindsay Lohan is rumoured to be releasing her own line of luscious leggings, and who can blame her?

From Katie Holmes to Jessica Alba and Drew Barrymore, anybody who’s anybody has been seen out in these sexy leggings, and the shinier the better!

Even the queen of fashion, Victoria Beckham (pictured below) has been spotted sporting a pair of full length high shine wetlook leggings on a recent shopping trip to Mayfair, London.

Should you crave a pair for your own wardrobe, Suziewest has a range of styles for you to chose from.

“Never wear the same dress twice” – everyone knows that, right? It used to be so easy, just put that little black number away for a few months and nobody would realise that your fantastic “new” dress was the same one that you wore to the office christmas do 3 months ago.

But with friends now uploading photos at every possible on social sites like Facebook – it’s so easy to get caught out. Thankfully Suziwest has a wide variety of tops and dresses to save you the embarrassment, without having to break the bank to do so!

What’s more, you could easily change your look with the aid of some fashionable 3/4 length or bow and lace leggings.

At a time when we’re trying to count the pennies, Mauboussin, the long-standing French jewelry company (they’ve been around for 180 years) have opened their flagship store in America.
And what a shop.  Tiffany might find they have a real competitor on their hands for the first time.

What you’ll get is lots of sparkly, quasi-affordable cocktail rings in cheery, colorful quartz.

Mauboussin’s clever technique is to cater for every marketing, so there’s small, relatively affordable green quartz and morganite gems, in polite pavé settings that come in at $2,090 (just under a grand in British pounds),which we thing would look great with a the long full length cocktail dress.

Or if you’re ready to slash the cash without worrying, there is Trop Fou de Toi — the same, only with larger gems and more romantic obsession - how about adding that little beast to a pair of bow and lace leggings for real eccentricity.

Or, for the true sociopath with all her Ponzi schemes successfully laundered and offshore, there is the Tellement Fou de Toi line rings, that come in at $10,690)!

Small jewel from French class

There’s an interesting article in this weeks Times about the latest cat-walk trends for 2009. Here’s our take on their top 5.

A tailored blazer: if you don’t already own one, buy one. You can wear it with everything, from old peasant tops to this season’s one-shouldered dresses and it will make them look of the moment. In a classic, classy way.

How about some silky pyjama pants?  Along with wet look leggings this could be the look of the season. Wear them with a sweaters now, and later on with a strappy bustier top.

Put some colour back in your life - baninsh the gloom, ditch the subtle greys and help brighten up these troubled times.

Flamboyance is also making a comeback - were a top that makes a statement - wet look bustier, a casual kaftan or ruched!

Quirky accessories: Don’t be corporate clone - look for individual statement and rise above the crows. Seek out beautiful drop earrings by lesser known designers, antique clothing boutiques and brick-a-brack stalls. Play fast and loose - embrace your individuality!
