WHISPER it now but our offices here at Style Towers are not quite the haven of interior design that we wish they were.
However we recently took a peep around a premises much more befitting fashion mavens such as us The Villa by Barton G in the sexy setting of Miami's South Beach - or as it is better known to fashion fans like us - the Versace mansion.

There I am standing outside and then allowed into the hallowed courtyard!

Here at Style Towers we receive a lot of surveys on everything from whose lips are sexiest to who we would most like to sit next to on an aeroplane.
But this is a first: Which male celebrity do Brits think would have the best-semlling hair?
Not an obvious question we think you will agree.

And you are on tenterhooks now to know then let me tell you, it's Hugh Grant.
The floppy-haired one beat the likes of Simon Cowell (13%), Colin Firth (10%) and Jenson Button (5%) to the top spot in a survey conducted by Head and shoulders.
Across the nation there was split opinion as to who should take first place; the North East (18%) crowned pop mogul Simon Cowell's crop as the best smelling, whilst the Midlands (17%) and East of England (21%) contested, saying they thought floppy haired-heart throb Hugh Grant should take the top spot.

WITH Dannii fit to pop into impending motherhood any minute we have been missing the daily fashion fights between the Aussie and Cheryl Cole as the X Factor audition bandwagon takes to the roads.
Various songstresses have been roped in to cover for Ms Minogue but Geri Halliwell vs Chezza was never going to be much of a fashion fight was it?

This week American star Katy Perry took on the judging role as the auditions reached Dublin and while she managd to wriggle out of the latex frock she wore for Graham Norton on Monday, Russell Brand's squeeze certainly dressed for the occasion.

And looking at these pictures, sorry Cheryl but it's round one to Katy....

Celebrity super-stylist Mark Hill is renowned for his mastery of sexy wearable hair and beach babe glamour. As the creator of the multi-award winning Holiday Hair collection, for summer 2010, Mark has checked out some of the worlds most
exclusive holiday hide-outs and put together his guide to the hottest (quite literally) beach hair looks for this season...

This season's most fashion forward beach look is the super easy fishtail plait as seen here on Diane Kruger. No fuss, no messing, just a soft sexy plait that will take you seamlessly from beach to bar.
Use Mark Hill Holiday Hair Beach to Bar Dry Shampoo (RRP £4.99) to prep the hair before plaiting. Hair is then thrown over to one side and using the salt residue from the sea, sectioned into four and weaved into a big fishtail plait.
Part the hair into two equal sections then take a smaller section from the underneath of one plait an weave into the middle of the two larger sections, repeat on the other side and repeat.
It's a bit more interesting and clever than a three strand plait, leave a few strands of hair dropping out of the fishtail to give it that relaxed beach style feel.

YOU might have noticed that we love to steal Mossy's style here at Style Towers. After all she is pretty much our high priestess.

So we were delighted to discover that this gorgeous charm necklace, spotted dangling from her neck at Glastonbury is available courtesy of one of our favourite Liverpool fashionistas Benna Harry.

The necklace is by Annina Vogel and is available from Benna at benna.co.uk priced £1,100. We are already saving for ours...if we cut back on daily lattes we might just get there in time for next year's Glasto!

This little fella is snapped being groomed during Thailand's 9th International Dog Show in Bangkok.

Yep we know that feeling.

IT was the first time in like forever that the festival was not a mudbath so no wonder people seized the opportunity to look a bit more stylish at the first and biggest festival of the summer.

Emma Watson led the charge in her Louis Vuitton bustier and shorts, bringing a flavour of high fashion to the proceedings.

THESE days you'd be hard pushed to find a celeb without a tattoo or six but us Girls Behaving Stylishly have so far reisted the lure of the ink (we are a bit chicken and change our minds too often to deal with something so permanent).

But when Karl Lagerfeld sent models down the runways at Chanel wearing temporary tatts we went crazy for them. Sadly the GBS budget wouldn't stretch to $75 a transfer and it seemed an awful hassle to fly to New York to get our hands on them.

THE long-awaited fashion collection from Dannii Minogue and designer Tabitha Somerset-Webb finally hits the clothing rails today.
Project D was unveiled by the X Factor judge and her friend a couple of months ago and includes a collection of day and evening dresses which will be exclusively available in Selfridges.
