Only one week to go until our mums’ special day so we’ll keep posting ideas for the next few days. Here’s our selection from DP. We think mum’s need to be in on the Alice in Wonderland trend too, and we love this little clock brooch, as a gentle nod to our small, white, fluffy friend, who’s never on time. The tunics, blazer or longline cardi are all, easy to wear, spring essentials in ontrend colours and fabrics. The accessories will give an updating boost to your mum’s outfits.

Take a look at the Oscar nominees for best costume design. Starting from the top Sandy Powell (8 previous nominations – 2 wins for Shakespeare in Love, The Aviator) for The Young Victoria, Monique Prudhomme (1st time nomination) for The Imaginarrium of Dr Parnussus, Catherine Leterrier (first time nomination) for Coco before Chanel , Janet Patterson (4 previous nominations) for Bright Star and last but not least, Colleen Atwood (8 previous nominations – 2 wins for Chicago and Memoirs of a Geisha) for sexy, italian, sensation, Nine. Now, usually we have a flutter, but this one is sooo difficult.
We know the academy like a period drama so we’re tempted to go for Young Victoria or Bright Star. The costumes in Coco before Chanel have influenced the whole fashion world since it’s release, The Imaginarium is wildly creative and Nine is just wild. The number of period dresses, in Young Victoria are unbelievable. But gut feeling is making us lean towards the bustier bursting, sultry, 60s glamour of Nine - ok that’s what we’ll go for. Go on have a bet with us – leave your comments please. Click the links to see all the fab trailers – it might help you decide which dvd to rent tonight!!

Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning, are set to hit the big screen as 70s, teen, rock icons Joan Jett and Cherie Currie, in The Runaways, later this year. The film is sure to have big influence in the fashion and beauty world. For starters, cosmetics company, Make Up Forever, have launced two fabulous tutorial videos to help you create your own smoky eyed, rock chick look. The videos feature Robin Mathews, who worked as head makeup artist on the movie and created the looks, (under the strict scrutiny of Ms’s Jett and Currie themselves.) Get the Kristen/Joan look above, or click to link to the Makeupforever site if Dakota/Cherie is more your thing. Oh we’re all crazy now!!

Designers from across the US have been submitting their sketches, with the hope of having their original gown, showcased by a gorgeous model, ( undertaking the job of onstage escort) at the 82nd Oscars ceremony this Sunday 7th March.
Well the hundreds of sketches were wittled down to just nine – the models have been selected, the gowns have been made, the votes have been cast, and the winner will be announced during the live Oscars Pre-Show this Sunday. The video above gives you a little sneaky peak of how the dresses look on the catwalk and we’ve pictured all nine below. Click to see a clearer image.
If you want the whole low down on the designers, the models and the judging you can watch the fabulous Behind the dress series hosted by Queer eye for the straight Guy’s Carson Kressley. Each dress has an individual catwalk video so that you can really make up our minds.
Which one would you go for? Shall we have a little bet? TFG are scared to put their money down – we just can’t pick one dress they all have something special. We’ve narrowed it down to three Fernanda Carneiro’s elegantly simple but so beautiful black, backless gown with crystals at the waist, Ari Sheuhmelian’s ruffled, black bustier topped piece which descends into grey ombre shades and wonderful folds, or Oday Shaker’s silver, one shouldered, sari inspired creation which creates such a tall and statuesque sillhouette (is that the dress or the model – probably both). Ok one dress (but we love them all)!! Ok we’ll go for Ari Scheumelian. Let us have your comments. By the way the offical Oscars site is just fab.

The April issue of Red Magazine hits the shelves today, featuring it’s list of 20 red hot women under 30 – influential young women from the worlds of busiess, entertainment, politics, fashion and more, who are working hard to shape our futures. Of course, at TFG we were keen to see, who from the world of fashion had made the list and found fashion blogger and style icon, Susanna Lau, alongside innovative, knitwear designer, Louise Goldin.
Being nosy, as we are, we asked for a little insider info – and this is what we found out
THE STYLE GURU – SUSANNA LAU, 26, FASHION BLOGGER
Who?Creator of fashion blog Style Bubble, Lau’s loveable tone and quirky style (she regularly tries on new purchases for all her readers to see) has earned her a massive following.
Why? Not only does her online diary get 300,000 unique users a month, it also landed her a day job with online Dazed & Confused. Despite the fact Lau could be making big money from such
a successful blog, she only occasionally takes advertising because,
‘I don’t want to turn
the blog into a living.’
What they’re saying: ‘One of the blogosphere’s biggest fashion icons,’ says the Telegraph
LOUISE GOLDIN, 29, FASHION DESIGNER
Who? Knitwear designer, whose debut collection was exclusively ordered
by Selfridges in 2005, has gone on to collaborate with Topshop and cashmere label Ballantyne.
Why? Goldin has won the Swarovski Award for Emerging Talent in 2008, the British Fashion Council’s Fashion Forward award in 2009 and received BFC sponsorship to exhibit at London fashion weeks S/S and A/W 2010. Take a look at Louise’s Spring 2010 collection here.
What they’re saying: ‘Louise has created innovation in a field that can sometimes feel quite safe,’ says Red’s fashion & creative director, Nicola Rose.
Congratulations to all, on amazing achievements. Read the full story, and find out who else is nominated in this month’s Red magazine.
