After a beautiful sunny Easter weekend, and with temperatures set to hit 23degrees in London this weekend, ones thoughts can only go to the summer wardrobe. When considering future purchases, however, I think it apt to consider the intelligensia out there. As a poor dressmaker with a not unusual sense of style I usually fail to adhere to current trends. I love a little dabble (this year I'm going crazy with prints) but full on baby-doll and trapeze dresses have no chance in heck with me. What trends are you going to be pursuing?
This is an excellent article, questioning the development (or should that be decline) of style and the rise of the WAG...
Take the test below and let us know how you get on. I'm delighted to inform readers of Gorgeously that I was unable to answer yes to a single question.
Yes - if you can answer in affirmative to three or more of the following:
• Do you own a set of hair straighteners?
• Is there anything in your wardrobe from Dolce & Gabbana/Karen Millen?
• Do you own a velour tracksuit?
• Have you ever had a French manicure?
• Do you own any jewelled shoes?
• Have you ever owned, or wanted to own, a vanity case?
• Do you own sheepskin boots - even fake Uggs?
• Do you wear a baseball cap?
• Do you regularly use fake tan?
• Have you ever had a personal trainer?
• Have you spent more than £300 on a bag?
• Have you ever copied a celebrity's outfit (be honest now)?
• Do you read Heat/Ok!/Hello!/Grazia magazine?
• Have you ever had Botox?
• Have you had your teeth whitened?
Oh dear. I could answer 4. All hope is lost. Though fortunately I've just lost my ancient pair of D&G sunglasses. And I think we should offer a prize for the first American reader who can guess what a WAG is.

I'm happy to say I could answer 2 (sorry...I'm a heat magazine addict and my hair needs taming once in a while). My sister on the other hand got 8...does that officially make me sister of a wag? Oh dear!

There were a few unfair issues of straighteners and magazines that I think are excusable...
8 though, I think that may just be an offence. But then, would you consider your sister a gorgeously girl?!
