Ladies We're Lovin'... Nicole Scherzinger

                Stella McCartney, Celebrating her 33rd birthday in Jean Fares Couture

She's got it all... The formula 1 racer boyfriend, the phenomenally successful music & tv career, the glossy hair, bangin' bod & stunning looks & now it seems ex Pussycat Nicole has also got the killer wardrobe! 

Recently the singer & US Xfactor judge has upped her game & moved on from the bra tops &combat trousers she once sported whilst writhing against chairs in her music videos. Following her stint as a guest judge on the UK Xfactor last year, we've noticed how Nicole's style has evolved since she has stepped out on her own. Flaunting her enviable curves in structured Victoria Beckham & Karen Millen dresses during the 2010 auditions, she diverted all attention from the Cheryl & Dannii fashion wars. 

Dressed to impress this past month in BOSS Black, Stella McCartney & Jean Fares Couture, Nicole's style is sleek & sexy but most importantly for us mere mortals it's attainable! Check out the high street versions of Nicole's looks below! :)                      xo TBC

Fun in the.. sun?

I don't know about you but we here at TTP already have our sights firmly fixed on Autumn/Winter collections and are busy coveting the latest of what designers and high-street have to offer in trends for the coming season.

BUT it is still July and even though it may not be sunny (fingers crossed for August!) we still need to be suitably summer stylish come our last bit of fun in the sun before winter. So today we're bringing you the best of the end of season in stores and online and also some new season gems that will bring you from end of summer through to autumn. 

So in this time of transition, whether you're lucky enough to be jetting away to the sun between now and the end of September like our lovely Tabby or are praying for good weather so you can live up those long summer nights at home, here's some ideas to have you beach/garden/party ready in no time!

Top Picks

If you haven't already heard the beauty buzz surrounding Morrocanoil products, its about time you gave this product a try. This oil will have even the wildest of hair looking tamed and gorgeous so is a summer must have. These mini nail polishes from Essie (available at ASOS) will give your nails the colour pop they deserve for summer/autumn and are a perfect size for bringing on your getaway/staycation. 

It may or may not be your thing but dungarees are big news at the moment. (well, if its good enough for Alexa Chung..) If you want to recreate the look but without feeling like you've stepped back in time to pre-school days, then this Topshop dungaree skirt is a more sophisticated take on the look and will have you on trend and grown up chic. 

Every girl needs something to snuggle into wen the evenings start to get chilly and this belted cardigan from River Island is cosy and stylish, what more could we ask for!

Lastly, we can't go anywhere without a fab bag for our journey and we love this River Island oversized bag, great for airport practicality and sophistication. Victoria Beckham has nothing on us! Here's to the rest of your summer.. May it be long, sunny and most importantly super stylish! xox Marie

Trending... LWD (Long White Dress!)

There's been a lot of talk about colour blocking this past season & for everyone who's loving it, don't throw out your clashing clothes yet! This trend is set to continue into the new season however you may want to make room for another colour in your wardrobe.. That colour is white!

Maybe it's the recent wedding fever, for weeks we've been salivating over the lace appliqué & beaded embroidery on the gowns of Mrs. Crouch, Mrs. Hince & of course The Duchess, but whatever the reason, white is the colour of choice this season! From the Resort offerings of Lanvin, Carolina Herrera & Elie Tahari to the Couture offerings from Givenchy, Stephane Rolland & Giambattista Valli, every designer worth their salt has featured the LWD in their Fall collection.

To create this look think more babe than bride! Blake Lively (pictured above), Naomi Campbell and Rihanna have already debuted their LWD looks using crochet cut-outs, sheer fabrics and playing with hem lines but if you don't dare to bare quite as much why not try white separates? A sheer top with a nude bra underneath teamed with lace detail shorts will give a respectable nod to the trend as will a Broderie Anglaise style mini dress or a long white dress with a plunging neckline for an extra boost of sexy! Check out some of our high street favs below! :)                                                     xo TBC

Ladies We're Lovin'... Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

The Red Carpet queen...

Here at TTP we love nothing more than a woman to look to to inspire us. We're talking confident, strong, successful and most importantly for us style junkies, a girl who really knows how to dress.

So to kick off our Ladies We're Lovin' feature we really couldn't think of a better style crush than lady of the moment Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

If you havent already heard of this multi-talented fashionista (you must have been hiding under a rock) get ready to see ALOT of the gorgeous Rosie on your screens, magazines and red carpets as she promotes the summer blockbuster Transformers: Dark of the Moon. And we couldn't be any more excited as this lady certainly knows how to dress!

Replacing Megan Fox is no easy feat but we think Rosie more than rose (geddit) to the challenge in the style stakes. The 24 year old English supermodel and actress (this is a girl who knows how to work her assets) has become a household name in fashion circuts in just under three years. Coming onto the scene in 2006 as a Victoria's Secret model, but it wasnt until 2008 when she was cast in Burberry's fall/winter campaign that she really started to get noticed. She recieved Elle's model of the year award in 2009, has appeared on the covers of British Elle and Vogue in recent months and is the covergirl for the next issue of Love Magazine. To top all of this off she gets the guys vote too as she was crowned Maxim's Hottest woman in the world 2011. With achievments like that under her belt, a dress sense to die for wether its red-carpet glamour or just out for a stroll in LA, and an acting talent to boot, we predict there's big things to come from this gorgeous lady we're lovin'...       xox Marie
