Pictures: Chanel Paris-Bombay 2011/ 12 collection
By Andrea Petrou on December 7th, 2011
The fashion world took on a Bollywood theme last night with Karl Lagerfeld showing off his Chanel Paris-Bombay 2011/12 collection in Paris.
Indian inspired dresses in metallics, soft floaty fabrics and beads sauntered down the catwalk all giving a nod to the glamorous Bollywood look.
Jewelled bindis featured heavily on model’s make up, whilst golds, reds, greens in tunics and saris finished the looks.
We can’t wait to see how the highstreet interprets these.

Christmas party dress inspiration from the red carpet premieres of New Year’s Eve and W.E
By Andrea Petrou on December 6th, 2011
If you’re looking for inspiration for that Christmas party outfit then this week’s red carpet events will give you just that.
Yesterday a huge host of A-listers turned up on the New Year’s Eve premiere red carpet in a range of frocks. Lea Michele shone in a stunning off-white long frock- perfect for more formal occasions – while Fergie and Hilary Swank went for embellished short numbers, which we think are perfect for that night out on the tiles.
Over on the W.E premiere red carpet Madonna sported the skinny jeans and blazer, which is a perfect alternative for frock fearing ladies, while Chloe Sevigny showed how to vamp up a Christmas party outfit in a red dress.
See the gallery below for more Christmas party frock inspiration.

The Collection of Elizabeth Taylor reaches New York ahead of auction
By Elisabeth on December 2nd, 2011
If there is one place we wish we were right now it is New York – and Christie’s – and The Collection of Elizabeth Taylor.
After completing a three month world tour, the iconic collection has now come to its final destination before it is being auctioned off later this month. Among the pieces to be auctioned off are: the sunflower-yellow chiffon dress Taylor wore to her wedding to Richard Burton in 1964, an Andy Warhol lithograph portrait of the iconic Hollywood legend, personal mementoes and stunning jewellery pieces such as the diamond ring gifted to her by Richard.
A display of Old Hollywood glamour and the culture of America, this is an amazing collection that is almost sad to see being split apart.
The collection will be on display at Christie’s New York for ten days from tomorrow, Saturday 3December, before the auctions start on 13 December.
Take a look at some of the gems in the gallery below and visit www.christies.com for more information.

Celebrity and designer AW Trends: Feathered dresses as seen on Tulisa, Sarah Jessica, Blake Lively and more
By Andrea Petrou on December 1st, 2011
Celebrities are channelling the feather trend in their bucket loads this season.
Taking inspiration from designers such as Chanel and Giambattista Valli, A listers such as Tulisa, Blake Lively and Sarah Jessica Parker are opting for frocks in this birdy fabric, which also gives a strong nod to the 20s flapper vintage trend.
And of course the highstreet is full of these feathered frocks.
Copy Tulisa’s look and go for a dress with a feathered skirt and PVC top – buy the replica from Warehouse – or give a nod to the bridal look with a white feathered skirt and satin top like Sarah Jessica Parker at the British Fashion Awards.
If you want to go all out then follow Olivia Palermo who showed how to wear feathers all over, but be careful, too many and you could end up looking more Big Bird than stylish sista.
See the gallery below for celebrity inspiration and keep reading to see our top five feather frock picks for the Christmas party season.

Make up trends for AW 2011 and those Christmas parties: Bold Lipsticks
By Andrea Petrou on December 1st, 2011
It’s the 1st of December, which means we can officially start getting excited about Christmas.
Yes, yes, we know, we’ve been talking about those Christmas parties for a while now, but a gal has to be prepared for some of the hottest parties of the year.
If you’re still unsure of what make up look to go for then why not take inspiration from Kate Moss and Glee’s Jayma Mays and go for the bright and bold lippy trend. Orange, bright pink and rock chick purple are all hot colours this season thanks to designers such as Marc Jacobs and Vivienne Westwood using these at their catwalk shows.
Darker skinned ladies will benefit from bright reds and purples, while those fairer can get away with oranges and pinks.
Keep eyes minimal, foundation light and add some blusher with similar tones to really show off those kissable lips. All you need now is the mistletoe.
See the gallery below for our top five bold lippys.

Christmas party make up looks: Glitter eyes as seen on Kate Moss, Emma Watson and more
By Andrea Petrou on November 30th, 2011
Christmas is the time that you can really get away with OTT make up. One trend that we’re loving and is perfect for that Chrimbo party is glitter eyes.
The look seen on the likes of Emma Watson and Kylie Minogue can be as bold or as simple as you like.
For a toned down look go for a glitter eye shadow with lashings of mascara and dark kohl a la Kate Moss and Katy Perry or take a leaf out of Emma Watson’s make up book and add some little gems for a more dramatic look.
See the gallery below for some celebrity inspiration.
