Finding the perfect pair of jeans can be harder than finding the perfect man. Okay maybe that's a bit much but it's bloomin tough.
So we are delighted to find help at hand from the lovely people at My Wardrobe.
My-Wardrobe's new Denim Bar. With a 'Fit Factory' and figure fixing advice, you can eliminate the jean buying blues. Sarah Curran, My-Wardrobe.com founder says: "We want to rejuvenate online shopping for jeans; from browsing by designer, comparing skinny to straight leg, or even just finding out how to wear boyfriend jeans."
We love the Twenty8Twelve denim on there and we hate buying jeans!
IT WAS always going to be a tough appointment but, just a few months after the designer's tragic suicide, the new creative driector for his brand has been revealed.
And she couldn't have a better pedigree, Sarah Burton,is described as McQueen's right-hand woman and was working closely with him when he died in February.
The 35-year-old Mancunian began working for McQueen while in her final year at Central St. Martins and was appointed head of women's wear design in 2000.
She said of her appointment: "The creation of modern, beautifully-crafted clothes was at the heart of Lee's vision. I intend to stay true to his legacy."
We look forward to seeing her work.
SHE may have worn fluorescent yellow for New York but there was a darker tone to SSarah Jessica Parker's outfit at Sex and the City 2's London premiere last night.
The star gave a nod to her favourite British designer - the late great Alexander McQueen.
The 45-year-old, who reprises her role as New York columnist Carrie Bradshaw in the eagerly anticipated sequel, wowed in a strapless McQueen gown, bag and heels, and a show-stopping hat by Philip Treacy in London's Leicester Square.
"There's only one person I could have worn tonight and that was Alexander McQueen. Lee, this is for you. I miss you very much," she said.
Two years ago, in 2008, SJP also chose a McQueen frock and Treacy headpiece for the premiere of Sex And The City: The Movie.
Do we think that venus Williams has just caught sight of her own reflection here?
In all seriousness though, burlesque outfits have no place on the tennis court.
IT'S highly likely that your Sex and the CIty experience this weekend will involve some alcohol and if you want to be like Carrie and the rest of the girls, you could be partaking in a Cosmopolitan or three.

WE are not really into techy stuff here at Style Towers we prefer shoes and handbags.
But this gorgeous laptop has got us drooling a little bit.
Firstly because it is named the "clutch" (which sounds like a handbag) and secondly because it is the one owned by Samantha in Sex and the City 2.
The mini notebook includes high-performance audio software and the design is inspired by the classic Chinese love story 'Butterfly lovers'.
It also has a built in webcam that can turn into a mirror, includes HP QuickWeb software and has up to 5.5 hours of battery time.
