Luscious lashes were a key trend on the Spring/Summer 2012 catwalks with a huge range of designers putting a great emphasis on these.
One look that really stood out however were doll lashes, which were feathered, curled and defined to really give that pretty girly look.
Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs kept their look simple with minimal make up and a thick line of liner to emphasise the lashes, while Viktor & Rolf turned the good girl into a bad rock chick thanks to their use of bright pink mascaras.
See the gallery below for the top five darling doll lash looks.

If you suffer from bad hair days then one Spring/Summer 2012 trend you’ll love is the wrap look.
That’s right, next season you can hide your bad barnet in style thanks to the likes of Marc Jacobs, Kevork Kiledjin, Anna Sui and K Nicholas making it fashionable to stick our hair under turban like wraps.
Give a nod to the ethnic look and go all out with a turban style head scarf or take a more subtle approach inspired by Marc Jabobs and Luca Luca stick your hair under a wrap with bow detailing.
We think this look is perfect for those beach locks and if you’re feeling barnet brave, a night out too.
See the gallery below for designer inspiration.

Victoria Beckham has achieved what many singers, actresses and models all desire. She’s created a successful fashion range, which is taken seriously by the style world.
Unlike many stars which have ventured into this industry hoping their name is enough to sell their ranges, Victoria has grafted hard to achieve her status as a respected designer, showing at New York fashion week and creating ranges we all want.
She’s also become a “must have” label for stars to be seen in on the red carpet. Last year Cheryl Cole showed her old pal some serious style satisfaction wearing a light pink creation on the Pride of Britain Awards red carpet.
However, she’s not the only one with the range grabbing the attention of Gisele Bundchen, Kate Winslet and most recently Michelle Williams who wore a short patterned number for the 2012 Academy Awards Nominee Luncheon.
See the gallery below for our top five celebrities wearing VB’s designs on the red carpet.

We touched briefly on slicked back hair yesterday during our top SS 2012 classic styles. But we thought this 80s throw back deserved a post all of its own.
Taking inspiration from the era of pop and punk, this trend already showcased by the likes of Emma Watson and Pixie Geldof, has made catwalk head ways for the spring/Summer season.
If you’re a gal who likes to keep her barnet long and down then take lead from Rebecca Taylor, Victoria Beckham and BCBG which showed off loose slicked back locks, while updos and styles for shorter hair were key at Ralph Lauren and Ruffian.
We’re off to buy that all important hair gel now.
See the gallery below for the hot looks of SS 2012.

We’ve cleared out our make up bags ready for the S/S beauty trends and will soon be shoving our snoods and scarves to the back of the wardrobe. And that leaves us with just one more thing- our hair.
Next season there’s a huge range of hairstyles, many of which have been given a little twist from the 80s.
Rebecca Taylor amongst others showed off the 80s slicked back look, whilst Chanel reinvented the classic chignon.
Over at Louis Vuitton the slim sparkly hairband made an appearance and Valentino showed us how braids can be worn bang on-trend next season.
See the gallery below for the top five reinvented styles of SS 2012.

Every year, around this time, we begin to see a pattern in celebrity red carpet dress choices.
The Golden Globes are over for another year, the SAG awards are over and the Oscars are heating up.
This awards season one trend has really made a stand and that’s the white dress.
However, unlike last seasons, this frock has been transformed from the white wedding ball style gown into a sleek straight number seen on the likes of Angelina Jolie, Jessica Biel, Kelly Osbourne and hundreds more A-listers.
Some give a nod to the sixties with short hems and lace, while others are more seventies with billowing sleeves and sparkles. We can’t wait to see what other trends emerge on the red carpet later on this year.
See the gallery below for our top five ladies in white on the red carpet.

Like the frocks at this year’s National Television Awards, the make up did us proud.
There was hardly any over tanned Orangutans in sight and no streaky legs of faces. Instead stars from the TV world looked to next seasons hottest make up trends to make their beauty stand on the red carpet.
Tulisa redeemed her disastrous pink frock with bronzed skin and pale pink lippy, while Elle Macpherson and Michelle Keegan kept it clean with their minimal make up looks.
Showing off that bright red lippy was Fearne Cotton who went for a vintage feel, while Lydia Bright teamed up hers with vampish eyes.
See the gallery below for our top five beauty trends of the night.

Yesterday we bought you all the fashion fun from the Versace Haute Couture show and today we only thought it fair that we included a range of the other gorge designs shown off at this event.
We’ve therefore decided to put together what we think are the best five looks from a range of designers at this year’s fashion shin ding.
Of course we couldn’t compile a list like this without including Chanel, which amongst other great designs gave us a very 50s sequined blue shift frock with a hint of 80s styling in the shoulders.
Dior gave us a stunning girly net tea length dress, while Louis Vuitton went all lacey and 60s with a cute cream frock.
Over at Giorgio Armani the tone was all glam, with our fashion eyes landing on a metallic fishtail frock and bolero, while Stephane Rolland went all out with a flamboyant twisted white skirt and black bodice. We heart.
See the gallery below for our top five.

Metallics are no strangers to the fashion world, often making an appearance on clothing, in hair and of course eye make-up and next season they make more than just a cameo.
For Spring/Summer 2012 this trend has a leading role in the eye make-up show. However, unlike this season where metallics were dark and bold, next season is all about pale shimmery hues.
Copy the look seen on the Chanel, Ralph Lauren and Gucci catwalks and go for an almost white metallic eyeshadow to make your eyes stand out.
To combine this, and the smokey trend gently brush lower lids with this hue, but not too much- this trend is all about softness.
See the gallery below for our top five designer looks.

The Spring season is almost upon us and we can’t wait to push those jumpers to the back of our wardrobes. It’s also a great excuse to revamp our make up bags.
If you’re a girl who loves the 60s look then you’ll adore this season’s beauty trends, which give a huge nod to this era. One such look is statement smoky eyes.
Seen on the catwalks of Gucci, Rodarte and Erin Fetherstone this look lets you be as big and bold as you like.
Coat those eyelids with dark bold colours, which spread to the brow and of course under the eyelids add some thick eyeliner and you’re ready to dance away to those cheesy tunes in one of this season’s hottest looks.
See the gallery below for our top five statement smoky eye looks.

You may not feel it, but spring is most definitely on its way, at least on the highstreet anyway. This season there’s a huge range of styles to choose from and we can’t wait until the frost thaws and rain goes, so we can begin to channel these looks.
The first trend we can’t wait to get into is the 20s flapper look, which has been given a summer make over. Gone are the feathers seen in AW 2011 and in come the sequins, drop waisted dresses and light fabrics, which really emulate this era.
If you’re a girly girl then the cute and sweet Sugar Doll look is also a must-have trend. Florals and girly colours fashioned into lace and simple cut frocks make up this style for the SS 2012 and was hot on the Louis Vuitton catwalk, while pastels also compliment this trend.
Those who like to show their casual side will also love the glam sports trend. Shown by Victoria Beckham, amongst others, this smart take on the sporty look – think sleek trackies, metallic vests and cute trainers – is great for those chilling out days.
See the gallery below for our top five trends.

We’re not afraid to admit that we have far too many pairs of jeans.
Yes, some may look like another pair, but the fit is different and it would of course be rude not to own as many styles as possible. Some show off our booties while others elongate our legs.
Some can be worn with heels for a night out while others are great teamed up with trainers for a casual day at the park.
However, sometimes we struggle to find that perfect look and that’s where celebrities come in handy. We heart Rihanna’s take on the boyfriend jeans, while Angelina Jolie shows how to wear the bootcut look and give it a smart edge.
Then there’s Jessica Alba and Alexa Chung who rock the coloured jeans, teaming them with a plain top to really accentuate that hue.
See the gallery below for all the celebrity denim inspiration.

Move over Miranda Kerr and Karlie Kloss, there’s a new model pack in town.
Whilst we adore you, it seems designers are slowly moving the bar, introducing younger, fresh faced ladies with a different look to showcase their creations.
This year it’s all about haughty, willowy gals such as Maja Salamon who was a hot face on the Balenciaga catwalk and Dempsey Stewart who captured the fashion world’s hearts at Louis Vuitton’s SS 2012 runway.
See our top five new faces in the gallery below.
