It has always amazed me how important some people deem clothes, shoes, accessories and alike.  I myself have a penchant for long winter coats (sounds crazy I know, but I love them).
 
I have never however considered myself Fashionable or Glamorous, but I would like to think I have my own unique style and therefore am somewhat stylish.
 
But are these terms as distinct as they once were.
 
It seems that nowadays every celebrity is considered Glamorous or stylish and we’ve all seen them rocking the newest most fashionable frock – whether it’s their own style choice or that of their stylist.
 
The over-use of such terms has made me question who indeed is truly Glamorous, Fashionable or Stylish.
 
Using Girls aloud as an example I would say that if we are talking old school Glamour, the red head from Girls aloud Nicola Roberts seems to hold that position. She sits comfortably beside the likes of Audrey Hepburn.  Her dress sense is so classic and chic, when pitched beside her band mates she gets the Glamorous top spot.

 
When you mention the likes of Cheryl Cole she definitely has what many consider to be characteristically Glamorous appeal, but I would put her beside Jlo and call her more of a fashionable woman. She’ll almost certainly take advice on what to wear from someone who knows fashion and how to stay on trend.
 
Then you have the edgier Sarah Harding who is most def the stylish one of the bunch. She remains on trend whilst having a very definite look that helps her stand out from the other girls.   
 
Although I have crudely separated these ladies into distinct clothing types it is common to hear them all described as Glamorous, stylish or whatever seems easier to the writer or presenter in question.
 
Is it flattery to call someone what they are not or is it just easy because no one is willing to challenge authors about their descriptions?
 
It maybe a completely pointless argument but I consider it important to know who is who and not tag all celebrities with an ill-fitting label – look around and I bet you find loads (cough!! Jordan, Glamorous!)
 
What kind of messages does it send out to young women and men who often aspire to be like these celebs?
 
I was out on Friday night in Central London and it seems that women or young girls are starting to all look alike.
 
Wearing the shortest, tightest outfit you can find is not Glamorous my dears. It truly isn’t. – You may have a lovely body, but showing everything you have, with big hair, big earrings, and a designer bag under your arm does not make you Glam. It can however make you look tacky esp. when that dress is leopard print and the hair is obviously not your own. Please if it’s a weave no one should be able to tell.
 
It seems that people have forgotten that being an individual is cool and that being Glamorous isn’t synonymous with being trendy or fashionable. It is about owning your look; it’s about having a natural sparkle not piling glitter all over your face or body.
It’s about having a mystique, even in some ways an aloofness that is tantalisingly seductive.
 
Please ladies (and gents) DON’T TRY TO HARD – it should look effortless, an everyday thing that is part of your life.  A glamorous person is never Glam one day and tacky the next – NO! It is a way of life.
 
So please, let’s not get it confused with the fashionable or stylish, because true Glamour doesn’t change and all the others do.
