Alexa Chung on British Vogue March 2010 cover
Having topped Vogue’s ‘most stylish women’ list back in December 2009, Alexa Chung is now British Vogue’s March issue cover star. The model/presenter was described by the mag as having a “schoolgirl meets grandma” and “Brit-girl abroad” sense of style. Photographed by Alasdair McLellan, we’re loving the high-heel clog and ripped jeans combo.

Rush on sales of nipple covers to keep up with underwear as outerwear trend
The spring/summer 2010 trend for underwear as outerwear has apparently seen a rush on sales of nipple covers, according to department store Selfridges. Lace bodice and corset-wearing celebs like Lily Allen, Victoria Beckham and Rhianna have already paved the way for the trend that involves as much sheer underwear on display as possible. The nipple covers, of course, are an essential bit of kit.
Nipple covers, £10 a pair, at Selfridges

Gothic glam for Cheryl Cole in her new single Parachute
Ever the style icon, Cheryl Cole has really maxed out on Gothic glamour for the video of her brand new single Parachute. Dancing herself into a frenzy, Cheryl showcases no fewer than four sexy outfits. Fingerless gloves feature heavily, as does the black bodice. Our fave look is the white waist-slashed long-sleeved dress, complete with a head full of curls.

Valentine’s Day pressies galore at Lulu Guinness’s pop-up shop
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, accessories designer Lulu Guinness is opening a pop-up shop on London’s Carnaby Street area. We’re thinking of pressies for oneself really… especially one of these lovely lip clutch bags - a percentage of the sale of which will go to support students at the London College of Fashion. Lulu and various celeb pals will apparently be having a bit of a love-in at the temporary shop on its opening day, so it could be worth popping in for a bit of retail therapy then. Located at 65-67 Broadwick Street from 8th until 22nd February.

StyleJunkee exclusive: interview with designer and celebrity fashion stylist Kate Halfpenny
She’s styled the likes of Laura Bailey, Elizabeth Jagger, Kate Moss and Erin O’Connor; she’s made jewellery for Emilia Fox, Fearne Cotton, Holly Willoughby, Dannii Minogue and Myleene Klass, and her latest soon-to-be-headline-making commission is a bespoke creation for Daisy Lowe’s 21st Birthday Party, to be held at this end of this month. Clearly being ‘Kate Halfpennyed’ is a must for any stylish young thing to be taken seriously with the fash pack. We caught up with Kate to get the lowdown…
Which celebrities do you style most often? Are there any you particularly love working with?
I style Erin O’Connor for major events and fashion week, and Emilia Fox for all her red carpet events. I have also almost finished Daisy Lowe’s 21st birthday party dress and have been dressing Pixie Lott in Halfpenny London from my couture collection.
Where do you get your inspiration?
I’m very inspired by travelling, and I absorb a lot from the different countries I visit. I love magazines, fashion and photography books, and I get a lot of inspiration from historical costumes and accessories.
What’s been your biggest career challenge so far?
I think the biggest challenge has been setting up my Bridal and Couture label Halfpenny London. There are so many elements to running your own line and I’m learning new things every day. Even though it’s challenging, it’s so exciting. I love a challenge.
So, how’s the dress for Daisy Lowe’s 21st birthday party going?
The dress is almost finished; it’s been so exciting to be involved in creating it. We’re having so much fun – she’s so gorgeous and creative.
How do you describe your style?
My personal style is very simple, accessorised with statement pieces of jewellery or an interesting knit. When I’m dressing clients I’m very much in tune with trends so I work with their own personal influences, current collections and an added Halfpenny twist!

Steal the style of: Daisy Lowe’s tattoo transfers
Daisy Lowe, as seen below at the launch of her jewellery collection for Swarovski, was one of the first to showcase an upcoming trend for tattoo transfers. The 20-year-old model’s interlocking Chanel logo tattoo was taken from a collection of transfers inspired by hand-painted body art seen on models in Karl Lagerfeld’s catwalk show last year. Chanel are dubbing the trend ’Decalomania’. And the good news for those wishing to copy the look is that the transfers will be available from 1st March at Selfridges and Chanel… (luckily, they’ll be sold for the rather un-Chanel-like price tag of £49 - which gets you a 55-piece set). Will we be seeing the words ‘Chanel’ tattooed across stomachs and foreheads next?!

Georgia May Jagger - the youngest daughter of Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall - has just been announced as the new face of Versace’s spring/summer 2010 women’s advertising campaign and, as these Mario Testino campaign shots show, she’s clearly inherited her mother’s pins and her father’s pout.
