Every now and again I’m emailed about an absolute gem of a website and this is no exception. It’s a fantastic concept of a site that actually DOES what it says and gives you fantastic brands at amazing prices.
It’s called BrandAlley.co.uk and is exclusively available to all in the UK. All of its stock has between 30 – 70% off and it’s certainly the way forward for finding luxury on a budget - all you need to do is register on the site.
Ladies, this service is very exclusive as in a month it will be members only! (And to register you will need to know another member’s email address). Over the next few weeks they’ve got a fantastic selection of Armani watches with between 30-70% off… go register now before you get left behind!

Now this is only my second blog for TopStylista.com, so I’m sorry if I’m coming across as a bit of a sports fanatic, when quite frankly it’s just not the case. You see you’ve caught me at an unusual part of the year. Last time I wrote of running home from work ready for posing (hoping to pose, likely to hide in my towel) round the swimming pool on my skiing holiday and this next piece of news ties straight into both of those stories.

We love hearing about new and exciting British labels and Aksuona is no exception. They have designed a truly delightful range of stylish clutch bags that when I saw them had me clutching my bag to go out and buy one. They are truly stunning and all designed as individual one offs by company owner Natasha who delivers them in a luxurious black satin pouch.
It has only been approx 6 months from conception to present day and Aksuona is already stocked in some of the UK’s finest boutiques such as Emma Somerset, Muse Womenswear, Purdies, Plume Boutique, Farfallina and many many more. These are the ‘must-have’ accessory for 2008.
Expect to see filmstars clutching on to these little beauties in a Hello magazine near you!

Passionata commissioned David LaChapelle to launch their new sexy lingerie brand with the theme of the campaign being very much a love story between a woman and a horse; an ice sculpted one at that! The show expressed femininity, passion, love and danger through the seduction of burlesque dancing with short animated ‘bond-like’ films enhancing heavily the Passionata brand.

It’s been a while since I last tried to diet, but there’s nothing quite like the threat of you in a swimming pool alongside the most beautiful girl from your boyfriends former school to buck up your ideas!
That’s right just two weeks to go until I embark upon a dream winter skiing holiday to the Alps with my other half and seven other guys and girls. Skiing might not sound as though I should be worrying about my bikini body, but this stupidly was not something I considered when enthusiastically signing up for our luxury hotel complete with swimming pool, sauna and spa!
So here I am writing this after having jogged home from work (more on that another time), scrubbed and lotioned in the shower, taken my vitamins and eaten my steamed fish and veg. All in good faith but realistically I know that with three weekends of wine ahead of me, there really is no hope of me suddenly Myleening. What to do, well I think I have two choices:
a) Feign some hideous foot infection deeming me void from all wet activities.
b) Invest in some seriously good swimwear.
