If Brendan Rodgers' message to his
Liverpool players were to keep calm in the title race, his players were
certainly listening to his advice as they prepared to take on Norwich.
Victor Moses and Raheem Sterling were spotted laughing and joking at the city airport as they made their way to Norfolk.
The Merseyside giants are edging towards a first Premier League title sitting two points ahead of Chelsea behind them.

Chelsea 1-2 Sunderland: Advantage Liverpool as Blues suffer crucial defeat at the hands of relegation battling Black Cats
On the most astonishing evening of the
entire season, Chelsea surrendered their lingering chance of the
Premier League title, Jose Mourinho’s 77-game unbeaten home League
streak and much of their self-respect.
When
the Football Association come to review the shameful events at Stamford
Bridge, the punishments will be spectacularly severe.
In
the last few minutes of this extraordinary collision, one of the
Chelsea coaches, Rui Faria, was dragged back by his hair by Mourinho as
he attempted to attack referee Mike Dean.
Minutes
earlier, Dean had awarded Sunderland the penalty which won them the
match, and while replays reinforced the correctness of Dean’s decision,
Chelsea’s anger was beyond all bounds.
Winner: Liverpool loanee Fabio Borini coolly slotted home the...

Give gingham a go in Jacqueline's Topshop trousers
When not on Albert
Square, Jacqueline Jossa looks a world away from her alter ego. As she
rubbed shoulders with glamorous ladies like Danielle Lloyd and Abi
Clarke on the red carpet of the Locke premiere last night, she got it
just right in gingham trousers and a bright white crop top.
If
you associate gingham with the Wizard of Oz or your school days, then
we’ve got news for you: it’s only gone and grown up! Gingham has been a
thing for spring ever since designers such as Balmain and Meadham
Kirchoff featured it in their runway shows. So of course, it is
beginning to filter down onto the high street too.
Jacqueline's
trousers are actually from Topshop, and you can buy them by clicking the
link (right) now. They're also available in a pale blue hue, or Tall
and Petite versions...
Toughen up your look in Saint Laurent's biker jeans
Alex Gerrard has some serious designer kit on today.
The
queen of the WAGs was out and about doing a spot of shopping at the
legendary Cricket store in Liverpool and she didn't stint on dressing up
for the occasion. Her coat is Isabel Marant as are her wedge hi-tops,
her bag is Givenchy and the jeans are Saint Laurent.
See what we
mean? Serious style savvy right there. And those skinnies are something
special, which would explain the price... they've got very cool leather
biker details on the knee as well as stand out zips. And of course the
label alone adds value.
If you've got a WAG sized budget then
click the link (right) to buy these jeans now at Net-a-Porter. But if
your clothes allowance is a bit more high street than high end then take
a look at the moto skinnies we've...
Toughen up your look with Rita's Balmain trousers
A pair of skinny leather
trousers is a must-have wardrobe staple for any style maven. Although,
coming in at well over £2000, we’re not so sure that Rita’s coveted
Balmain bikers are quite what we had in mind.
Featuring quirky
side pockets, gold fastenings and quilted leather panelling, these
stand-out trousers are classic Balmain. Great for day and night-time
wear, they will inject instant cool into any look (that’s if you can
afford to wear them out of the house).
Team with a monochrome
ensemble and sky high Louboutins for a chic outfit that Kate Moss would
be proud of, or opt for bright separates and clashing accessories for a
nineties inspired feel.
Luckily the high street has some great
alternatives that won’t break the bank. For those of us on a tighter
budget, faux leather...
Rock the red carpet in Danielle's tuxedo dress
As glamorous WAG
Danielle Lloyd stepped out on the red carpet in Birmingham this evening,
we couldn’t help but notice her eye-catching white and gold ensemble.
From
her daring tuxedo dress to the towering gold platforms and her classic
Saint Laurent shoulder bag, the 30-year-old certainly stole the
limelight at the premiere of forthcoming film Locke.
Luckily,
with pale shades back on our fashion radar, now is the perfect time to
be investing in a crisp white dress for the summer weather.
It
might have been bang on trend for AW13, but the practicalities of a
white dress or skirt mean that wearing it was a careful balancing act,
particularly when splashing through puddles and dodging the stormy
weather.
But, with the weather hotting up, we no longer
have an excuse not to...
Bring out your playful side in Selena's floral romper
Play around with two of
this season’s hottest trends, summer blacks and classic rompers, in this
pretty monochrome playsuit from Selena Gomez’s latest collection for
Adidas.
If you’re heading away for Easter, this easy-to-wear
number is an ideal beach staple. Perfect for poolside posing, or even
better, the evening tan show off (if you have one), a playsuit is the
ultimate in simple holiday dressing. What’s more, it will take you you
from day to night with only the slightest of changes.
So, if
you’re keen to get Selena’s dressed-down vibe, click through to Adidas’
website to pick yours up now! Or, shop our pick of the best alternatives
to get the look for less. We love this softly tailored version from

Wrap up the regal way in the Duchess' dress
So far on this Royal
Tour, the Duchess of Cambridge has been a resounding success in the
style stakes. And today we feel like we've come full circle, as she wore
a wrap dress not dissimilar to the MaxMara number she sported when she
first arrived in Sydney.
This one is by Diane von Furstenberg and
when paired with her favourite £245 Russell and Bromley wedges (this
isn't their first outing!), Kate looked as chic as ever.
Wedges
on the edge of a cliff might have been a bit of a risk, but this dress
was a sartorial safe bet. 2014 marks the 40th anniversary of Diane von
Furstenberg's iconic wrap dress and although over the years, hemlines
have changed according to trends and prints have come and gone, the
super flattering shape has stayed precisely the same.
A DVF dress
doesn't...
Give your spring wardrobe a royal makeover in white Broderie Anglaise
The Duchess of Cambridge
may have been recycling a few looks while on her royal tour of New
Zealand and Australia, but yesterday she not only wore something new,
but it was also by an up and coming designer.
This lovely and very
spring appropriate dress is by Australian label Zimmermann and we love
it. We've been fans of this brand for a while now and although it's
mainly known for its swimwear, Nicky and Simone Zimmermann, the design
duo behind the label also create the most stunning ready-to-wear.
Unfortunately
the dress is not available to buy but we've found a very similar look
by Zimmermann at Net-a-Porter. Check it out below. It has the Broderie
Anglaise of Kate's dress and will look gorgeous on a sunny spring day.

Do grown up sophistication in a jumpsuit by AQ/AQ
Don't you love a date night? The chance to get dressed up, put on our highest heels and step out in style, is always welcome.
And
Little Mix's Leigh-Anne Pinnock went all out for her date with
boyfriend Jordan in this sleek and chic jumpsuit by AQ/AQ. Jumpsuits are
a fabulous alternative to that other date night staple, the little
black dress, and if you haven't invested yet then this is the time to do
so.
Leigh-Anne's bandeau look is perfect for showing off toned
shoulders and the cigarette cut of the legs keeps it dressy rather then
casual. Adding high heel sandals elevates the look to grown up glamour
and ensures your pins are lengthened to supermodel proportions.

Do sporty chic like Rihanna in a Lovers + Friends hoodie
Rihanna may be a
creature of habit when it comes to her favourite restaurants (she ate at
LA's Giorgio Baldi two nights in a row) but when it comes to fashion
she's a chameleon.
The singer just loves to mix it up going from
high end Prada and Chanel one day to urban streetwear the next. Oh what
we'd do for a peek inside her wardrobe. For dinner number 2 RiRi opted
for a low key look that's easy to replicate if you fancy stealing her
style.
The jeans are a slouchy boyfriend fit that work perfectly
with the Nike Air Jordans and this super cute sleeveless hoodie by LA
based label Lovers + Friends. It's a favourite amongst the crowd of hot
young things like Kylie and Kendall Jenner and is great for bohemian
looks that can translate to evening.

multi-strap sandals from Lipsy.
Perfect for the impending
summer season, these elegant sandals will elevate all your glamorous
looks so why not add a pair to your capsule closet now by clicking
right? The shimmering metallic promises to lift any outfit in a flash!
Didn't
get a pair in time? These fail-safe shoes from Boohoo, New Look and
ASOS will lend all your looks a glamorous finish, the trick is to treat
the metallic like a neutral...
Duchess of Cambridge picks dress by Australian designer Zimmerman which has also been worn by Naomi Watts
Shoppers crashed the website of
Australian designer Zimmerman after the Duchess of Cambridge chose the
label for the third day of the couple's Down Under tour.
Kate
made the most of the Sydney sunshine in a white lace sundress as she
and William attended the Royal Easter Show at Olympic Park on Friday -
without baby George.
She
paired the knee-length 'Roamer' day dress, which retails at £274 (AUD
$495) and has been previously worn by Australian actress Naomi Watts,
with a pair of beige corked wedge heels and as usual, carried a small
matching clutch in her hands.
A nod to Oz: The Duchess of Cambridge wore an
Australian designer for the first time when she stepped out in a white
sundress by label Zimmerman at the Royal Easter Show on Friday
