Vintage is a hot trend this season. However, it’s not just making a huge impact on our wardrobes, it’s also filtering into our make up too. This season one key look is golden buff, a trend which gives a nod to 40s sepia style prints.
And it’s also a great look for all skin types. To get the look start with a cream colour base foundation before coating eyes in two types of gold eyeshadows.
Add mascara and a contrasting frosted pink lippy to finish the look. See the gallery below for tips and where to buy the products we used.

Do you feel left out when the guys in your lives are busy growing tashes during Movember and doing their bit for charity because of your inability to cultivate such flamboyant facial fluff (personally I’m happy that this isn’t one of my talents)? Fret not ladies, because there are lots of accessories and ways that you can show support for the cause and be a Mo Sista!
Check out the gallery below for our favourite moustache accessories this Movember.
Moustache necklace by Tatty Devine - £27.00
Love this spiffing tache necklace from Tatty Devine. Made in hand-varnished walnut wood this is a great way to show support this Movember. Buy.

Novelty knits are no longer just for Christmas! Cute and quirky animal motifs have taken a leading role in knitwear this autumn with both high street and designer brands showing their love for furry friends. Featuring everything from dogs to peacocks and the odd fantasy animal (we wish unicorns were real…), we’ve gathered our top ten of the animal prints available. Which one is your favourite?

We’re sooo over the style excitement of Halloween and already can’t wait for this weekend’s firework displays. However, dressing for this event isn’t as easy as it seems.
You want to keep warm, yet stay stylish at the same time, and while the heels are calling, they are hardly practical. Therefore we suggest a casual chic look.
Go for a cutesy themed knitted jumper, which will keep you warm but also give a nod to the night and team up with a pair of skinny jeans or jeggings that can be tucked into flat on-trend knee high boots.
Finish off the look with cute mittens and a hat and a chic parka. See the gallerybelow for our best buys.

Famous for its sexy lingerie, Agent Provocateur has made its premium collection Soirée available online. The range, which launched two years ago, has until now only been sold through selected stores worldwide because some of the items contain Swarovski crystals, making them so expensive that they need their own security.
Made from the finest silks, all Soirée items are sold in limited edition so are quite covetable objects.
To mark the online launch, Agent Provocateur has created a short horror film, Fleurs Du Mal, which sees stunning robot-vampire like models playing… almost torturing each other while dressed in the rather risky lingerie.
The most expensive item of the collection, the £15,000 playsuit will however unfortunately not be available online.
CHECK OUT THE GALLERY BELOW FOR MORE OF THE COLLECTION

If you want a make up look that will really make you stand out this season then you’ll love the subtle grunge look. The trend was all over the AW 2011 catwalks championed by both Vivienne Westwood and Vera Wang and goes perfectly with the 80s clothing trends that are hot at the moment.
To get the look you’ll need to focus mainly on the eyes to get a smokey look. Keep the foundation to a minimum and add a touch of girly frosted pink lippy.
See the gallery below for a masterclass on how to get the look as well as what make up to buy.

If you’re going out this Halloween weekend but aren’t sure what to dress up as – of if you should dress up at all – finding the right outfit can be a nightmare! One simple, yet eye-catching way of adding a bit of ‘something’ to your appearance is investing in fake eyelashes. Luckily there are lots to choose from these days so you shouldn’t have a problem finding a pair.
Selfridges has a great selection of false eye lashes by well-known brands like Shu Uemura and Mac, as well as dramatic make-up brand for your alter ego, and a ShinyShiny favourite, Illamasqua. We also love the paper lashes from PAPERSELF. Inspired by the art of Chinese paper-cutting these lashes blend an element of traditional culture with contemporary design.
Take inspiration above for your next party – just don’t forget to bat those lashes!
