Suarez Ready to fire Liverpool to title as Reds jet out to Norwich

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. Customary: Luis Suarez arrives with his flask, containing the South American drink 'mate' Leaders: Brendan Rodgers and Steven Gerrard prepare to travel for the Norwich game Doing his part: The Uruguayan striker poses with a young fan Luis Suarez and Steven Gerrard have been two of the major...

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...

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. Or try one of the similar frocks we've spotted on the...

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.

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. Click the link (right) to buy Rihanna's...

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     ...
