Currently available at www.houseoffraser.co.uk, the collection comprises two distinct looks - Pixie Party and Pixie Rocks - inspired by the singer's own rock chick girly style and her favourite style icons past and present.

Pixie Party is the ultimate party girl wardrobe with 50s inspired prom dresses, sleek and sophisticated evening dresses with lace detail, satin bows, layering and plunging backs. Delicate cream, nude and dusky pink coloured dresses are contrasted by more dramatic graphic print dresses and classic black styles ? there is something to match every woman's party style.

Pixie Rocks is all about edgy, rock-inspired style. This capsule collection has been designed for Lipsy and is available online at houseoffraser.co.uk.

It has everything from studded leather biker jackets to statement full length black jumpsuits and leather tassel skirts. Flashes of leather and stud detailing feature across many styles and collection highlights include an uber?glamorous Dalmatian print fur coat.

Commenting on the new Lipsy range Pixie said: "I'm having such great fun turning my style ideas into an actual fashion range so am really excited to be launching my second collection with Lipsy. This time I've taken inspiration from some of my favourite style icons like Bridget Bardot and Eddy Sedgwick and what I love to wear out with my friends."

Jeremy Stakol, CEO of Lipsy, said: "Pixie has a natural flair for design and style and this works incredibly well combined with Lipsy's signature look. The spring/summer collection was an instant success with our customers who couldn't get enough of Pixie's festival and party wear. It's been a pleasure to work with such a talent and we've no doubt the Autumn/Winter collection will be another huge talking point in the fashion world this season."

Customers looking for glamorous party dresses or the latest fashion will find the perfect piece from Pixie Lott's Autumn/Winter collection designed exclusively for Lipsy. They can shop online at House of Fraser to purchase Lipsy dresses and other items from the collection.

A wiki for the biofuels research community

2010-10-30

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI) have created a technoeconomic model that should help accelerate the development of a next generation of clean, green biofuels that can compete with gasoline in economics and well as performance. This on-line, wiki-based model enables researchers to pursue the most promising strategies for cost-efficient biorefinery operations by simulating such critical factors as production costs and energy balances under different processing scenarios. "The high production cost of biofuels has been the main ...

Surrogate decision makers wish to retain authority in difficult decision

2010-10-30

The decision to stop life-support for incapacitated and critically ill patients is, for surrogate decision makers, often fraught with moral and ethical uncertainty, and long-term emotional consequences. But as difficult as these decisions are, more than half of surrogate decision makers prefer to have full authority over the choice than to share or cede that power to physicians, according to a recent study out of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. "This report suggests that many surrogates may prefer more decisional control for value-laden decisions in ...

Breast density, no lobular involution increase breast cancer risk

2010-10-30

Women with dense breasts and no lobular involution were at a higher risk for developing breast cancer than those with non-dense breasts and complete involution, according to a study published online in The Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Apart from age, family history, and age at menarche, two additional factors associated with breast cancer risk include mammographic breast density and extent of lobular involution. Lobular involution is the physiological atrophy of the breast epithelium and is known to increase with increasing age. To determine whether ...

Researchers use math, maps to plot malaria elimination plan

Charges of political corruption have little impact on voter opinion

2010-10-30

Republican claims of political corruption in North Carolina's Democratic Party have made little impact on public opinion among potential voters in the state, according to new polling data analyzed by North Carolina State University researchers. The findings show that highlighting actual corruption is not necessarily an effective electoral strategy. "The North Carolina Republican party has tried to brand state Democrats as corrupt, but we don't know whether voters respond to this strategy," says Dr. Michael Cobb, an associate professor of political science at NC State. ...

Discus fish parent young like mammalian mothers

2010-10-30

Few fish are famed for their parenting skills. Most species leave their freshly hatched fry to fend for themselves, but not discus fish. Jonathan Buckley from the University of Plymouth, UK, explains that discus fish young feed on the mucus that their parents secrete over their bodies until they are big enough to forage. 'The parental care that they exhibit is very unusual,' says Buckley. Intrigued by the fish's lifestyle, Buckley's PhD advisor, Katherine Sloman, established a collaboration with Adalberto Val from the Laboratory of Ecophysiology and Molecular Evolution ...

New insights into the development of epithelial cells

2010-10-30

Scientists of the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) Berlin-Buch and the Experimental and Clinical Research Center (ECRC) of MDC and Charité in Berlin-Buch have gained new insights into the development of epithelial cells and their molecular repertoire. Dr. Max Werth, Katharina Walentin and Professor Kai Schmidt-Ott have identified a transcription factor (grainyhead-like 2, Grhl2), which regulates the composition of the molecular "bridges" that link adjacent epithelial cells. The authors were able to demonstrate that Grhl2, via DNA-binding, directly regulates ...
