Hi Style Bunnies!! Welcome to the Style List and who and what are hot this month.  I am writing this on the go so the format may look slightly different but I always keep my promise to keep all my stylistas up to date with the most stylish people places and products. I have spent a bit of time in Monaco over the Summer so I can share some superstylish places with you.

MOST STYLISH HOTEL

THE FAIRMONT HOTEL MONTE CARLO not only has stunning views but also incorporates NIKKI BEACH and NOBU in the same hotel. No need to ever leave then ? But if you do it is close to shops for fashionistas, stylish restaurants such as BUDDHA BAR and CAFE de PARIS are nearby. 



MOST STYLISH RESTAURANT an old favourite haunt of mine LA MAREE formerly known as The PORT PALACE. A beautiful place overlooking the marina in Monaco. Barbecued meats and fish are their speciality with fabulous House Rose wine. White table cloths old school service. The a la carte can be expensive but an all day set menu is £25 pp . I have been visiting for 15 years one of Monaco's best kept secrets. Try it !



MOST STYLISH BEAUTY PRODUCT STILA STAY All DAY LIQUID LIPSTICK I tried and tested this as it claims to last 8+ hours .....and it did ! Even subjected it to a sauna ,swim eating and drinking .......and kissing it stayed put for 12 hours. Venezia is my colour but lots of choice and it doesn't dry the lips. Impressed STILA well  done !!



MOST STYLISH FASHION TREND for the new season it's all about the Browns - tobacco and taupe and shades in between. Choose brown over black clothing it generally looks more expensive in brown shades and looks more stylish unless I have diagnosed you as a Winter colouring . Then black will always look better with your complexion. So fashionistas when you are in town ...shop brown !



MOST STYLISH PERSON

Ok back to Monaco for this one. I met the incomparable ANDREW NEIL not only the best Political commentator in modern times. But exudes style he has a summer house in Grasse and was immaculately turned out. Even rocked a Panama hat and was super friendly and very comfortable with himself.  Confidence creates style a guilty pleasure of mine he didn't disappoint. Deserves his place on this list !

STATEMENT TROUSERS have been a massive trend this Summer with statement prints but the trend continues into the A/W collections. Im not a big lover of the loud prints but im loving the huge selection of cuts and styles choose wisely to suit your body shape and personality style. But its all about the statement don't be boring. I have just invested (hugely) into Givenchy basic black but tight fitting with voluminous bell bottoms.

Kem and Amber supremely stylish throughout you either have it or you don't . They both have it in spades and together it is amplified.

THE STYLE LIST JULY 2017

I am writing this in 30 degree heat this is where even style can go off the radar. But don't worry Stylistas, Jojo still can share her top style picks for July as I have been out and about in London and LA through the height of Summer. remember to make it on to the Style List all winners have been personally tried and tested.

MOST STYLISH HOTEL
The London LA




Many people ask me where they should stay in LA for the ultimate style stay. Personally the winner of this category is THE LONDON, WEST HOLLYWOOD the older more iconic Hotels are great to visit but to stay in present a different story. The London is perfectly situated off Sunset Strip on San Vicente. The rooms are uber stylish. Its quiet and sophisticated with rooftop pool views across the city and sssssh... a little secret a hotel limo will drop and collect you if you ask ..... for free.


 MOST STYLISH RESTAURANT

I revisited an old favourite yesterday after many years and it did not disappoint MONTPELIANOS KNIGHTSBRIDGE old school Italien. It ooozes charm and style lacking in modern Italian restaurants. Fantastic fish and authentic pasta dishes. In lovely Montpelier Street just opposite Harrods.
Montpelianos


























MOST STYLISH BEAUTY PRODUCT
As previously mentioned fashion style tends to get overlooked as it is so hot we are wearing as little as possible. So, this month we are going to award TWO beauty products that I have recently discovered. Over the years I have tried and tested many fake tanning products but this one wins hands brown er ... I mean hands down. Discovered in LA but now widely available in UK. Great colour easy to apply and no streaking. RRP £30 but a little goes a long way !! Get tanning Stylistas ...the safe way.



The SECOND beauty award goes to the recently launched KEVIN AUCOIN DIAMOND EYEGLOSS wear on its own or over shadow to make eyes pop. I wear this everyday on its own particularly good for older lids as no creases. Glossy lids with a hint of sparkle brightens a whole face.
 Perfect with a tan and great on the beach for that no make up , make up look!

MOST STYLISH PERSON    
Well as we are in the midst of Wimbledon this has to be a tennis player who gets the award this month. But playing tennis or not the man is super stylish I love to watch him play. ROGER FEDERER serves an ace every time when it comes to style. He is a thoroughbred never seems to break a sweat and is the epitome of style on or off the court.



Roger Federer


So thats our July Awards Style bunnies all tried and tested (except Roger unfortunately) I will continue to live with a month full of adventures ....and dining but most of all done in a world full of style. Have a fabulous Summer come back and visit for all things stylish in August . MWAH MWAH xxxxxxxxxxxxx

@AListLondon_LA
Here it is Stylistas the Style List for May who made it onto the list?
All tried and tested but spent April in LA.

MOST STYLISH HOTEL
Goes to ......THE BEVERLY WILSHIRE LA
I have been coming here for many years but it gets better and better. Had a #perfectday here poolside in a private cabana, platters of fruit, ice buckets of San Pellegrino. Luis bought me rose and margaritas all day long and lunch by Wolfgang Puck ordered from the Hotel menu. The poolside restaurant admittedly needs a menu makeover. The old school service throughout the Hotel is consistent and top grade from Pepe in BLVD Bar to Amy Schuster - In Room Dining management. Well done to all involved !
Beverly Wilshire Pool

MOST STYLISH RESTAURANT

Goes to.......FIG & OLIVE, MELROSE LA
A wonderful and memorable new discovery on this trip. The origins based on Mougins Provence where I used to live. Light and airy the restaurant is breathtaking as you enter. The menu is based on fresh ingredients and the service is quiet and unobtrusive . I actually went twice in one week it was so good.
Fig & Olive

MOST STYLISH PERSON

Goes to........MARTYN LAWRENCE BULLARD
The LA based interior designer. I not only love his designs but appears to be a thoroughly nice person too. The Tom Ford of interior design. Mainly designing for celebrities such as Sharon Osbourne and Tamara Mellon you are welcome for dinner at mine anytime.

Martin Lawrence Bullard
MOST STYLISH BEAUTY PRODUCT
Goes to .........BECCA SHIMMERING SKIN PERFECTOR
This sleek design compact  with a shimmering gloss to sweep across cheekbones eyes shoulders looks great on tanned skin. Many shades available find one to suit you and pop into your handbag throughout the summer.
Becca -Opal



MOST STYLISH FASHION
Goes to........ YOU ! My followers will know by know there is no style in following fashion. Fight your way through the florals (please!!!) my tips for style this May is find some pieces in Tan ,blush and white an elegant neutral look. Just because every Spring to every Fashion house seems to mean florals don't follow the pack. Remember everything I taught you in our youtube masterclass and choose the aforementioned tones to suit your complexion.

OSCARS 2017 THE STYLE LIST

WHO MADE IT ONTO THE LIST ?


TRENDS

There were three definite trends this Oscars Metallic -JESSICA BIEL, DAKOTA JOHNSON, EMMA STONE(see later). White-NAOMI HARRIS, CHRISSY TIEGAN, KARLIE KLOSS. Covered up- ISABELLE HUPPERT, RUTH NEGGA, RYAN GOSLING (shame)

HOT LIST

Taraji





My hottest look of the night was #TARAJI P HENSON who looked stunning in  #ALBERTA FERRETTI a midnight blue velvet gown. Suited her body shape her personality her colouring. FLAWLESS. The thigh split was just right. Elegant and simple.





Halle






#HALLEBERRY really never fails she is someone that has an innate sense of her own style she wowed in #VERSACE. Look at the detail around the hemline. The one shoulder look is great for her and suits her dramatic personality. Hair and make up were pretty much left undone but I loved this look on her. I really want this dress.

#EMMASTONE has been a winner all round during this Awards season both in fashion and film . She certainly looked like a winner at this years Oscars like an Oscar statuette. The gold flapper like long dress  by #GIVENCHY was stunning the fringing gave it some individuality. Her hair and make up were in keeping with the twenties era . Absolute perfection as was the film LALA LAND.

Emma





Ruth



#RUTHNEGGA divided peoples opinions with this more unusual #VALENTINO dress. I love that this was more covered up wit a victorian neckline and long sleeves. It became stylish because this was the right dress for her. Colouring personality body shape the perfect combination made this a real winner and probably will be the most remembered dress of this years ceremony. Well done Ruths Stylist.



THE NOT SO HOT LIST

Emma





Now everyone has stylists there are very few style horrors but I did manage to find a couple !!
#EMMAROBERTS yes I know she is young but it doesn't mean you have to dress slutty and innappropriately it may get you the headlines but not the respect. You have to view it from the side angle to get what I am talking about !! Did not like this #ARMANIPRIVE dress on her or anyone else for that matter.



No no Nicole
OMG another #ARMANI PRIVE dress on the worst dressed and yes once again......... its #NICOLE KIDMAN. The dress washed her out completely and the embellished pattern on the dress totally was the wrong scale and overwhelmed her small frame. Does Nicole have a stylist ? The worlds most consistently worst dressed women. Call me Nicole lets talk 



Let me just give the boys a quick mention. #PHARELL WILLIAMS shook things up a bit in a quirky #CHANEL tux. Super stylish and perfect for him. Only a dramatic personality could carry this off but he wore it with aplomb.

Pharell
Sunny
#SUNNY PAWAR looked adorable in his mini tux too but I loved the fact it was age appropriate with the funky touch of green trainers. I genuinely felt he should have been nominated for an Oscar as he outshone DEV PATEL in the film LION.








 So that completes our round up of the style from this years #Oscars 2017. I think we can say it was a super stylish year on the red carpet with no style horrors. I hope you agree with my style picks my style bunny followers. If not feel free to let me know your winners and losers. Mwah x Mwah x #stylelist50

THE STYLE LIST

SAG AWARDS 2017

Now Girls and Boys the SAG (Screen Actors Guild ) Awards is not the best Ceremony for great style and stunning dresses the girls tend to dress down and save the best for The Oscars. But I have to say this year was the worst year for some time and I really struggled to put ANYONE on the list. There are a few Stylists out there that need to be sacked . There were big mistakes all over the Carpet 

Uzu Aduba

But I did love Uzu Aduba in her Elizabeth Kennedy dress. This dress suited her style completely in terms of cut colour and personality. I really liked the monochrome and it stood out on the red carpet.







Sofia Vergara







I also loved Sofia Vergara as I always do she can do no wrong. This girl really knows her body and I actually think she has never made a mistake This cocktail dress which you can get away with at the SAGS was divine. By Zuhair Murad. Simple yet glamorous but I am not sure this dress would look this good on a skinny girl !



As they were the ONLY two that really stood out for me and made it on to the STYLE LIST this time . Lets take a look at the Not So Hot looks.

Oh dear once again Nicole Kidman makes the poor STYLE LIST . Nicole have you not sacked that Stylist yet ? Is it something to do with being Australian ? or are you surround by people too scared to be honest with you. What were you thinking ? Not only is this dress ugly (shame on you Gucci) but it was the wrong colour and wrong personality for Nicole. Probably the worst dress I have EVER seen on a red carpet . I had to look twice 

WTF ??






SO THATS ALL STYLISTAS FROM THE SAGS  

LETS HOPE IT GETS BETTER. TUNE IN HERE FOR THE
STYLE DIAMONDS AND STYLE DISASTERS AS SEEN 
THROUGH THE EYES OF A SCIENTIFIC SUPERSTYLIST.

Also I could not let Busy Philipps (Cougar Town) get away with this monstrous column dress by Jeffery Dodd. The colours the pattern the cut !!! How are your people not telling you ?????? Even the lipstick and the hair this look is so so wrong on so many levels that I find it hard to believe she would go out like this maybe it was for extra publicity.
