Fashionable buys!

It is not just the clothes that are causing a statement on this year’s catwalks, it is the faces as well!  An outfit just wouldn’t be complete without a made-up face to match!

However, in order to create the perfect made-up face, you must first prep the canvas.  A great way to keep your complexion youthful and dewy is to invest in a great facial serum.

The novelty Mrs White’s Physick Rose Youth Serum is packed to the brim with a whole load of skin friendly ingredients.

These novelty ingredients boast to boost cell regeneration, which in turn will reveal a fresh and glowing complexion.  This glowing complexion is the result of the included organic cold-pressed rosehip seed oil.  This element is a an extreme antioxidant that contains a variety of much-needed fatty acids as well as the vitamins A and C.

This serum oil is certainly an excellent wake-up call for lack lustre skin.  It is also great news for skin that has been over exposed to the sun or holds any blemishes due to acne for example.

The Physick Rose Youth Serum should be applied to the face prior to moisturising and is available from beauty counters nationwide.

If you suffer from dehydrated skin, a great formula to invest in La Mer.  La Mer is the hydrating facial made for extremely dry skin that is prone to fine lines and age blemishes.

Sequins and stars

Every girl loves to add a little sparkle to her life and by that we mean to her wardrobe!  This season has certainly given us a pass to do just that and sparkle we will!

Sequins and stars are both killer trends this season and we are now even seeing them side-by-side!  Whether you opt for a head to toe print style or a subtle addition, both of these trends will certainly allow for a carefree party style.

Metallic sequins are a must this year and appear to be the new grunge-vintage take on the original sequin style.  These sequins are worn with flats and carefree tees for a laid back look that still screams party but in a different way.

Dolce & Gabbana are certainly one fashion house to look to when it comes to this season’s trends of stars and sequins.  They have released the metallic sequin with star combo and such a style comes in the shape of a long sleeved maxi that is perfect for the winter season and looks great teamed with killer chunky heels and opaque tights.

Wear with curls and statement watches as well as a few in your face rings for the ultimate style queen look!

Other pieces to invest in include the likes of a star embellished jumper, a pair of metallic skinnies in super shiny red, a cute pair of embellished sequin shorts, a metallic skirt with zip additions, a statement full length sequin maxi, a tie up star sheer top and of course, a pair of killer lace-up metallic heels!

All of these pieces are must-have wardrobe investments for this season and will look very in fashion throughout the whole of the winter months.

What they wore!

London Fashion Week, in fact any fashion show is always a good place to look if you wish to steal a few seasonal style tips!

This isn’t just because there are an array of stylish models sauntering down the catwalk and an assortment of new creations working their way on to the wishlist of many fashionistas but also because of the invited.

Those that attend the events are as equally stylish as those that model the clothes. They know that they are in the media’s eye and therefore have to look their best! Who knows what the magazines and journalists will say about them if not!

This season was no different from others and saw an array of young fashionistas take up their places centre stage. Some of which included Dianna Vickers, Dionne Bromfield and model star Poppy!

The cape

There are various fashions that feature in films and many fashionista’s will try to create a certain look that they have seen in a renowned movie.  Maybe it was something their idol wore or something created by a top designer name.

Fashion is all about expressing ourselves, this can be done through colour, style, attitude, eccentricity, and simply the way we wear our clothes.

The cape is one such item that is often associated with films and such an item shows us how film and fashion really come into play!

Thanks to the recent vampire obsession we all seem to be entertaining, the cape is high on our need-to-invest-in list this season!

The cape is most certainly the coolest cover-up for the winter months and comes in an assortment of styles, colours, and fabrics.

Think solder style and opt for the military look, checked for a more English appeal, fur lined for a winter must-have, and side buttoned for a more elegant feel!

And the summer style gongs go to…

This summer has certainly seen an array of trends, especially from the A-list!  But which styles get the gongs this year?  First up cut-off denim is a must and every fashionista should have at least one pair of trusty denim cut-offs in their wardrobes.  Think faded denim, lace embellishments and button detailing if you really wish to work this style to the max!

Team those denim cutoffs with a playful camisole, a long length delicate chain necklace, some hot shades and maybe even a trilby.  However keep the look  classy and don’t make the denim short enough to reveal a cheek or two!

A floral print tea dress is also another must-do style for the warmer months, however when winter does strike, simply add a cute cardigan and a pair of opaque tights to the mix!  For a summer wedding team the cutesy dress with a pair of prom-esqu heels and for a more daytime affair, look to a wedged espadrille for a more low-key and beachy look.

The tea-dress is certainly proving to be a big hit of our time and has once again emerged as a key trend for summer.  You will most certainly see this look at an array of festivals, functions and openings on many an occasion.

Choose a few different styles in statement prints and also block colours in order to update your current wardrobe for summer!  The best bit, such a dress will roll up easily into a weekend bag with out creasing, top points from us!
