The Tulisa cover

Here is the very, very cool Tulisa, rocking an androgynous teddy boy look, out today in Fabulous magazine, styled by me. I am so chuffed with how different we managed to make her look, despite having her usual hair and make up crew.

It was a tricky trend for even the skinniest and tallest of models to pull off - patterned trouser suits. Eeeek! But she nailed it. The outspoken X Factor judge was so easy going and wore whatever I asked her too. Not a whiff of a diva demand or a strop at what was being asked of her. A true pro.

Here's a few snaps from behind the scenes on the day as we were setting up waiting for the T-meister to arrive.

Stylin' up

The Irregular Choice shoes that made the cover.

One of many gorgeous Equipment shirts I could have picked, necklace by Dannijo and sunnies by Irregular Choice.

Endless accessory options...

Sunnies, sunnies, and more sunnies.

Hope you like Tulisa's look?

I've been lucky enough to work with her fellow judge NICOLE SCHERZINGER (eeeeeek!!) this week so look out for the pictures from that rather exciting shoot on here.

Styling Amelia Lily

It's X Factor season again, so probably a good time to tell you about a little lady who has been keeping me busy over the last few months...  the lovely Amelia Lily.

I started working with her management and record label back in Summer (aaah Summer, remember that?) when she was busy working on her first release and she was no doubt going to need a million and one outfits and they needed someone up for the job. Me. Hurrah!

I came up with a moodboard ( I LOVE moodboards, as you will learn) when I first met up with her crew, detailing a summery blend of LA cool, laid back street style, pastels, denim, piled-on arm candy, leathers, dip dye, and Summer's favourite - studs.

This trend is most definitely one of my favourites when it comes to styling, and lucky for us both it suited her perfectly and was similar to her own personal style, of which she has bags.

Her first promo shoot was amazing. We shot with Bella Howard who totally captured the cool of Amelia.

She's been a busy little bee over the last few months and recently her debut went to Number 2 - well done that girl. So there's been plenty of running around town getting her outfits for everythng from swanky parties, performances to TV appearances and red carpet events.

We had a little try on the other day and I love this shot of Amelia, taken at my agency office one evening, looking chilled out and gorgeous despite having been dashing around non-stop all day...

I always think this is one of the looks that suits her best - a girly dress (this velvet one is from Miss Selfridge), biker style boots (glitter boots from Bertie), bold necklace (New Look), topped off with a biker jacket (quilted stud shoulder jacket also from New Look).

And I love her hair here - My Little Pony a go-go!

Look out for more of Amelia in the coming months, she's a star. ★
