Sponsored post - Tulisa's new fashion range from Bank

 Stealing the latest fashions has never been easier. Look in any magazine or website and you will see celebrities and pop stars showing you how to create the look of today. Unlike in previous years, today’s fashion icons are not (always) wearing expensive labels that are unaffordable to most people, but they are wearing high street and affordable names that we ourselves can follow and take pride in. Celebrity fashion collaborations at high street prices are also becoming more popular, think Kate Moss for Topshop, Amy Childs, Peter Andre (yes really) and Rihanna for River Island which is out June 2013.

The latest celebrity range launches this Thursday. Tulisa from the X Factor is launching her own fashion label called ‘TFB’ (The Female Boss), across Bank Fashion stores in the UK and online. It is set to feature "colourful statement fabrics, edgy detailing and luxe materials.” I must admit her choices of fashion attire have been *slightly* dubious in the past and not my cup of tea. However, there is no doubting it that on the X Factor up against the gorgeous Nicole Scherzinger (who would look good in a bin bag); Tulisa has been holding her own and looked fabulous this weekend! I love her pink dress in the photo below.

You can join Tulisa on Thursday 18th October @ 6pm at Westfield White City as she launches her TFB Collection. She’ll be live on stage and fans will also get the opportunity to ask questions in a live Twitter Q&A, plus be the first to shop her collection in the BANK pop-up shop! If you can’t make it, BANK are streaming the event live on their Facebook page here and every day this week fans have the chance to win items from the TFB collection on Instagram. Snap yourself doing your best Tulisa pose and upload with the hashtag #TULISAFORBANK @BANKFASHION. I’ll be intrigued to see the full collection (sneak preview below) and how edgy it is, I expect it will be popular with younger shoppers but looking forward to checking it out all the same!

What do you think of celebrity ranges, are they your thing or do you prefer not to look like a celebrity?!

T-H-X hair launch event

Last night I attended the T-H-X range launch party at Ice Tank Studio in London. I went along with my sister and turned up at the same time as Danielle Lloyd so managed to get papped ha ha! Louise and Millie from Made in Chelsea also attended, plus Marie Fowler from TOWIE. The new T-H-X range has been created by Tesco (although they aren’t using the Tesco name but it was introduced by a person at Tesco!) and the products are professional quality at affordable prices. The range covers all the basics of hair styling and contains a range of ten tools, including a male hair straightener which launches next year! There are six products in the core range and three products in the professional range, with the most expensive product £59.94 which is a lot less than other professional brands such as GHD!

Everything in the T-H-X range uses the latest technology to allow them to heat up quickly and make use of ionic and tourmaline to reduce static and calm frizzy hair. Each device features an automatic switch off for safety which my Cloud Nine straighteners have as well. You can check out the whole range of products on the T-H-X website and check out the videos showing you how to achieve salon looks! I’ll be testing out the straighteners to compare to GHDs & Cloud Nines (my favourite brands) so will keep you posted. If the products are as good quality for these low prices (plus clubcard points!) then they will be serious contenders in the market. 

Check out my photos below from the event, sorry for the bad quality they were on my phone and it was dark!
