Style Thread Loves: Nails Inc Magnetic Polish

It's time to get super creative with your nails this season, with the latest offering from Nails Inc. Launching this September, nail art has surpassed the 'crackle' effect and turned all futuristic, with the new Nails Inc range of Magnetic Polish. 

The concept is quite simple, yet equally brilliant. All you do is apply the polish, then turn the magnetic lid near to the fresh colour and watch the unique design form. Available in three gorgeous shades, £12, from Nails Inc stockists.

Kate Bosworth Loves Isabel Marant 'Dicker' Boots

The 'Dicker' boots by Isabel Marant have been championed by Kate Bosworth. She just loves them and who can blame her? Similar suede ankle boots, have finally begun to trickle onto the high street, mirroring Marant's laid back style. Try wearing them with maxi skirts, in black or navy, for a less western, more urban feel.

Monochrome Trend: Kate Moss vs Sienna Miller

As the monochrome trend peaks, who better to compare, than Mossy and Miller? Who does it best? Sienna opts for Victorian style lace, toughened with patent black ankle boots and red lips, while Kate works snakeskin into the look, plus Louboutin courts - which are back with vengeance, by the way. You decide, but I'm leaning towards Sienna.

Hot Site: Forever 21

Just recently, I returned from an amazing trip to California. Loved it! While in Los Angeles and San Francisco, I could not get enough of the fashion store, Forever 21. 


In a nutshell, it's akin to Primark, only with higher quality fabrics, textures and trends. They give you a shopping basket, so it was literally supermarket sweep for an hour, with so many styles to choose from. My favourites were slouchy t-shirts with animal illustrations and the cute, tribal print, cut-out playsuits. The prices are amazing so it's hard to know when to stop, but soooo good! 


The best bit...you won't need to book an expensive flight as they have their own UK website, which has free shipping on orders over £50. You will get so much for 50 smackers! Enjoy...
