feast for eyes

I realized that after two posts about make-up you might need something more fashion-y. So I'm gonna show you a picture I've come across recently. It's a photograph of a very young Kate Moss in Vogue Italia (year 1992 edition). I love black and white photography and this one is just so chic! Very Chanel with a nice twist. LOVE!!!

calling all Michael Kors fans

Good news for all Michael Kors fans. The great american designer is putting his talents into beauty as well as fashion. Collaborating with noone less than Estee Lauder, they are creating limited Very Hollywood make-up collection. There are two pallettes: Bel Air Beige with nude and peach shades,and Rodeo Pink with stronger raspberry tones. I know which one I'm gonna go for.. Available from Harvey Nichols exclusively from 4 January and nationwide from 1 February.

juicy lips

I am addicted to lip gloss. If I only had to choose one make-up item to take on a deserted island it would be a lip gloos. And there are so many great ones out there! I am a die-hard fan of Juicy tubes by Lancome. They smell great, moisturize and last forever, making my lips feel very kissable. Shiny lips in a nice colour are the perfect last touch to a great outfit. I like playing with the different shades. I've just discovered a new edition - No 98 Strawberry Funk and I'm hooked! It tastes so yummy and has quite a rich pink tone, which I just love!

face of the moment - Lara Stone

Another decade is over. It will be remembered for various fashion moments - good and bad. After a long time of models being ultra skinny I'm glad there has been a new wave emerging of girls with curves.
And one of them is Lara Stone. She may not be typically beautiful. She's got a gap between her front teeth and is not a size zero, but that girl is god damm sexy. And the world has noticed. She has been fronting major ad campaigs, appeared on the cover of about any important magazine and walked catwalks for many great designers. And you can see why she has everyone at her feet. She isn't afraid to show her body and prove to everyone that curves are sexy. I hope people will realize that and stop starving themselves.
Have a stylish day.

style chameleon - Rihanna

As the decade comes to an end I am looking back again over the last year and wonder who really stood out in the style stakes. The one person who comes to my mind is someone who has been topping best-dressed lists over and over again and got thumbs up not only for her fashion choices but ever changing hairstyles. And it is noone else that Barbados born singer Rihanna. Known as well for her outfits as for her music, Rihanna isn't afraid to rock any trend. Photographed in Chrispher Kane Baboon dress, sporting impressive shoulders in Dolce and Gabbanna and wearing THAT jacket by Balmain, there probably isn't anything she hasn't tried. And does she do it well! Hell yeah! Her choices didn't go unnoticed when she was picked to front an ad campaig for Gucci. She usually wears one designer head to toe and I would prefer it if she gave it her own edge by mixing and matching but I have to admit she looks hot. Loving her Louis Vuitton outfit, especially that pink skirt.. Her wardrobe is boasting in expensive pieces that some people can only dream of. Good on her. In my eyes she isn't a style icon, because I'm not sure what her style is.. Catwalk looks straight after they hit the runway? But she is definitely an inspiration.

nail it

Fashion isn't just about clothes, but the whole look. Don't think, that if you're wearing designer clothes head to toe and your face is scruffy, your hair is having a bad day or your nails are chipped, people will not notice. They will! And it will ruin all your efforts. Therefore I am gratefull for all the miracle beauty workers there are. And in big numbers! One of my favourites is Chanel Le vernis nail colour in black. It's very chic and goes with anything. It has a great lasting power and you only need one layer. Great for busy girls on the go. Black is timeless, sophisticated and cool. No wonder many celebrities are painting their nails black too. So no excuse for your hands to look less than perfect.

sunglasses - an accessory for every season

Today's post was inspired by the lovely weather. It is a beautiful sunny day and I realized how important it is to have a good pair of sunglasses. It is an accessory you need in every season. Well here in England maybe less than in other countries, but we still get some sunshine and a pair of gorgeous sunnies is a must. My favourite style is aviators especially those by Ray-ban. I owe two pairs - one all black that goes with everything and one with gold frames which is more summery and goes well if I feel like wearing gold (I'm mostly silver girl). I think aviators are another timeless classic and by now you probably realize that's something I love. I like investing in pieces that will stand the test of time and just buying few bits every season to update your wardrobe. No need to buy into trends and renew all your clothes all the time. I also think they look really cool and can be easily worn with your casual clothes as well as with your dressier outfits. Perfect solution. Now let's just hope for more sunshine.
