NICOLE SCHERZINGER

The shoot with one of the biggest names I have ever worked with is out today in Fabulous - the very beautiful and very talented Nicole Scherzinger.

Here are some of the shots...

Nicole wears What Katie Did and Spjkers en Spijkers

Wearing Miss Selfridge skirt, Marlies Dekkers bra top and LK Bennett shoes.

We shot in a beautiful glass location house to get the effect of natural daylight through the space... cue heavy rain, blustery winds knocking over outside lights and Nicole not being ready from hair and make-up till the sun was disappearing. However the shot still looks beautiful despite the rain.

The petite and perfectly-formed Nicole loved the clothes and we worked together to choose her outfits. The winners including a designer latex dress from Atsuko Kudo, bra tops from What Katie Did and Marlies Dekkers, skirts from Spijkers en Spijkers and Miss Selfridge (she was happy to wear High Street - hurrah!).

The sun sets on a VERY long, but very successful day in North West London...

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.

Ellie Simmonds for Fabulous

Today's cover of Fabulous featured the world-record-breaking-gold-medal-winning-teen-swimming-sensation Ellie Simmonds, styled by me.

We went for a mix of girly lace with tomboy shirts, cute collars and tough embellishment. Winning outfits were from Topshop and River Island.

Ellie has THE most infectious laugh and my assistant and I had a ball behind the closed doors of the dressing room with her. And if something didn't fit or didn't look great? (Every stylists fear...) No problem! On to the next with a giggle. What a top girl.

Ellie and her infectious smile in the dressing room

Leona!

It felt like quite a biggie when I was asked to style Leona Lewis for Fabulous. She's just one of those people that is so talented and gorgeous, you don't want a thing to go wrong. She's a pretty big star too, and you kind of get that vibe when you meet her. Something a bit special about this girl.

Theme of the shoot was metallics, so I whipped up a quick moodboard prior to the shoot. Loads of great inspiration for this one...

I felt a bit nervous on the shoot, which I haven't done in years, and there were quite specific instructions as to what she would and wouldn't wear. Plus as a strict vegan all leather/feather/pleather was out. Actually this was harder than it seems. Despite trying to remember this whilst selecting pieces for her I still managed to present leather and feather to her. How could I forget where feathers some from? BIRDS, Chloe. Cue my assistant hurriedly hiding a few things...

Leona's rail of metallic delights. (Feathers removed shortly after photo was taken...)

Jewels for LL. Again, feathers removed shortly after photo was taken...

Great selection of vintage accessories from Winchester Vintage. Thanks Charlotte! And no feather to hide - whoop!

I got that buzz... the one that makes me love my job more than anything...a few shots into the day when Leona put on the Andrew Majtenyi dress she wore for the cover. She worked it and we ended up with this amazing cover, out today...

And here's just some of the other great shots by photographer Elisabeth Hoff...

Leona was happy to mix designer with High Street. Shoes from Schuh.

And then with hardly time to breathe it was on to the next celeb shoot that was going to be a potentially tricky one...
