’Coleen trackies’ top fashion error - Dec 7 2007
Velour tracksuits worn by famous faces such as Coleen McLoughlin have been named the number one fashion disaster.

The casual outfit was even more disliked than shell suits, which were second most disliked by survey respondents.

Other fashion faux pas included puffball skirts, leggings and ra-ra skirts.

The survey for UKTV Style found the little black dress was the number one iconic fashion item, followed by jeans in second place and the Wonderbra in third.

Nearly all the respondents (96%) owned at least one item that featured on the list of fashion disasters.

Commenting on the top 10 best fashion items, UKTV Style presenter Brendan Courtney said: "Whilst different generations might have their own ideas about style, many of these iconic fashions have shown their ageless popularity. It just shows that true style lasts forever."

The online poll of 3,000 adults was commissioned by UKTV Style and carried out by market researchers 72 Point.

Coleen considering Italian castle? - Nov 9 2007
Coleen McLoughlin is apparently looking at a Italian castle for her forthcoming nuptials with Wayne Rooney.

The 21-year-old flew out her mum and her wedding planner on a private jet to see the Castello Brown in Portofino, near Genoa, reports The Sun.

The 16th century features a banqueting hall, extensive gardens and top security because it is on a steep hill.

"The castle is as close to a fairytale setting as you can get. It’s the sort of place any young princess would dream of getting married. Coleen was left breathless by its beauty," a source said.

"This was a very hush-hush trip and Coleen was so excited. She’s seriously thinking about having the wedding overseas."

Wayne was unable to go with his missus because of Manchester Utd’s Champions League clash with Dynamo Kiev at Old Trafford.

Coleen is also said to be interested in the nearby 18th century Villa Durazzo, where Rod Stewart married Penny Lancaster in June.

The duo are expected to get married next year. It is rumoured that they have signed a £1.5million magazine deal for the wedding rights.
 

Coleen smells sweet success - July 23 2007
He’s full of bravado on the pitch, but Wayne Rooney has shown his sensitive side - by helping fiancee Coleen create her forthcoming perfume.

Rooney was a driving force behind Coleen McLoughlin’s new signature scent, she told The Sun newspaper.

The 21-year-old WAG, who launched her perfume this month, said: "I went to France to test 50 different smells. I brought my favourite ones back and gave them to my family and Wayne to help me make a decision.

"Wayne was really a big help and he was even insisting on the one for me to choose. He loves playing with the perfumes."

Coleen has signed a deal with Robertet, one of the oldest perfume firms in France, and Fragrance and Beauty Ltd.

The ten-year deal for the fragrance, entitled Coleen X, and beauty products, could earn the celeb £10 million.

The 100ml bottle of fragrance is presented in a box bearing the signature of the famous footballing girlfriend, as well as a kiss.

It will be in shops nationwide from August, priced £19.95.
