The best way to beat winter blues is... to shop for summer.

X FACTOR; OLD JUDGES V NEW

This year we saw the X Factor being completely revamped. There is no doubt that Kelly and Tulisa have brought fresh girl power to the panel, but have we lost out on the fashion front? Time to find out whether the class of 2010 or 2011 can boast the X Factor style crown...

Metallics are the latest trend to take off this winter so get into the party mode with these gold metallic shorts.

WHO WORE IT BETTER? Sophie Habibis v Cher Lloyd

It's X Factor 2010 v X Factor 2011 as Sophie Habibis and Cher Lloyd go out in the same dress, but who wore it better?

There's no question about it; Cher wins this one hands down. The 'Swagger Jagger' star pulls off one of her best looks to date in my opinion. The vampy lips are daring and the blue heels contrast with the red dress perfectly. On the other hand, Sophie looks like she's about to burst out of her dress. I also find her hair and makeup too boring, if you're going to wear a daring dress you've got to go for it completely.

What do you think? Who wore it best?

If you're looking for a chic dress this winter then look no further.

X FACTOR STYLE

The X Factor is over for another year and we'll all miss Louis' terrible impersonations, the panel drama, back stage tantrums, big productions, and the dazzling outfits on display.

To round off an entertaining and exciting year The Doll House is taking a look back at some of the best outfits from the series, but for once we're forgetting about the judges and all eyes are on the contestants style.

TEMPORARY:SECRETARY

Shopping for accessories in high street stores, such as New Look and H&M, has often left me feeling unsatisfied; all the jewellery seems to be generic and uninteresting. Very rarely will I spot something unique and quirky that stands out from the crowd. So when I was browsing online one day and came across an English breakfast ring (yes it has bacon, eggs...the lot) I knew I had to find out where this eccentric and unconventional ring came from.

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

Amy Winehouse was a British music sensation, an incredibly talented song writer, and quite frankly one of a kind. She was mostly known for her musical talent but she was also a fashion icon, she had a unique style and broke boundaries. Whilst we sit and listen to "Back to black" and "You know I'm no good" we look back on Amy's fashion forward outfits and quirky style, and we sincerely hope that she rests in peace.

BLAKE LIVELY V ALEXA CHUNG
