The other evening I was watching a tv programme about who women style themselves on.

From my own point of view I am an individual and hate to follow the fashion trends.  I am what I am and if people don’t like the way I dress myself then tough.  I’m not going to rush to the shops to buy the clothes just because so and so is wearing them.

However, my teenage daughter loves to follow the latest trends and her favourite teen at the moment is Pixie Lott.It is funny that Pixie is only a few years older than my daughter and already she is a massive pop star.  Can they really go from little girl to huge pop star in such a short time of space.

Currently my daughter and her friends are absolutely obsessed with any sort of silver jewellery.   Her dressing table is absolutely crammed full of silver necklaces and silver bracelets.  Most of it she will never wear, but she buys it just the same because her favourite pop star is wearing it.

It is amazing how many of these pop stars start out their careers singing a few songs, then a few years later low and behold they bring out their own fashion ranges and so our teenagers still continue to buy their products.

Their management are very clever and I suppose they know that their clients only have a relatively short shelf life, so try to make the very most out of them.

Mind you, saying all that, I can remember the days when I was a teenager and I got to go and see my favourite band – Adam and The Ants.They were absolutely brilliant live and for weeks and weeks I pestered my parents to buy me a jacket just like the one that Adam had.I came so close to my dad buying me one, but mum was a real spoil sport and put her foot down at the last minute.So maybe it’s not because things have altered that much, it’s just that I have finally grown up!!
