We saw a pic of Amanda Holden looking fabulous in this gorgeous pink dress recently. Nothing too out of the ordinary about that, right? Well, imagine our surprise when we looked a bit closer to find the world’s most stylish granny in the background. Rocking on-trend nude pinks, this mystery lady was giving Ms. Holden a run for her money in the style stakes!

Amanda Holden and the world's most stylish gran!

V-Festival is as much about fab festival fashion as it is about the music and we spied some amazing outfits. The pop princesses were out in force in uber-glam dresses and heels – not a poncho or a dodgy wooly hat in sight!

The end of another week in the Oli.co.uk office and as usual, it’s been a whirlwind of fashion, trends, gossip and of course, clothes. And to top the week off, everyone from the Oli.co.uk office is off out on the town tomorrow night to paint the town red, Oli.co.uk style!

Another thing a few of us (maybe not the boys… Well, not all of them!) will be painting red is our nails. We’ve seen autumnal reds appearing in the new season collections recently and we’re never ones to shy away from trying a look. Nicola Roberts from Girls Aloud, Kelly Brook and Sara Cox from BBC Radio 1 have all been spied rocking red nails. You know what they say, two’s a coincidence, three’s a trend!

It’s Thursday, so we’re all busy frantically doing our last-minute preparations for le weekend. Of course, this means we’re planning our outfits… Good job that Oli.co.uk does next day delivery!

The romantic nude trend is still strong and the celebs have been rocking it en masse! Paris Hilton, Katy Perry and Maggie Grace have all been spotted indulging their feminine side and succumbing to sheer fabrics, creamy pinks and floaty layers. We’re definitely coveting these floaty dresses this week!

Last night’s episode featured Samantha Fox, Callum Best, Jeff Brazier and the ever-fabulous Janice Dickinson wearing an array of fabulous outfits from Oli.co.uk…

One of our favourite style icons, Cheryl Cole is 27 today. We’ve featured Miss Tweedy-to-be in so many of our fashion editorials that we only thought it was right to take the time to say “happy birthday, Chezza”! She’s come a long, looooong way in the style stakes since those early days of Girls Aloud:

It’s the event that launched the careers of some of the cream of British fashion talent, with Stella McCartney and Christopher Kane both being former protégés of Graduate Fashion week . The event showcases the designs of over a thousand students from 35 different fashion colleges from throughout the UK.

The catwalk show features clothes by Stella McCartney, Armani, John Galliano, Alexander McQueen and Philip Treacy and is in aid of UK charity 'Clothesline,' an organization raising funds for African children affected by HIV and AIDS.  All clothes and photographs from an exhibition by celebrated photographers are auctioned at the end of the night.  (Photo by Will Conran/Getty Images)

We know our fashion-forward readers love a bit of industry goss, so we’re bringing you all the latest news from Graduate Fashion Week which kicked off in London last night. There’s already been some real design talent showcased and it’s only day three of the event!

Ones to watch…

Stephanie Hemphill

We loved Stephanie’s use of a softer colour palette in her bodycon dresses. Mixing nude pinks and smoky greys, she moved this season’s hottest colour trend on into AW10. We’ll definitely be keeping an eye on this East London student.

Bunmi Olaye

Olaye’s collection has already drawn attention from the celeb circuit, with Mischa Barton and Mel B already on her client list.  The collection featured lots of geometric prints with a strong African influence – perfect for working the tribal trend.

We love being the first to find out about home-grown fashion talent and that’s what our Oli Fusion collection is all about, bringing you the hottest designer names and exclusive, wearable and affordable collections. Our Oli Fusion collaborations with Olivia Rubin, Sinha Stanic and Poltock and Walsh are all great examples of this. Click the image below to shop all Oli Fusion.
