It’s time to sort out that make-up bag and make way for the next must-have makeup trends. With SS 2012 nearly upon us those winter beauty hues are being placed in the bargain bins to make room for the latest colours.
One trend that made a huge impact on the catwalks for the next season was red lips. Vixen reds, dark berries and orange tints are pushing out those gothic red lips of AW 2011 with Anna Sui, YSL and Erdem all leading the way.
Go for the classic Hollywood red lips as seen at Jason WU or go for a dark shade as shown off at Donna Karan. Pale skinned beauties will look great wearing a red lippy with an orange tint, while the matt look shown off at Erdem is great for darker skin types.
See the gallery below for all the designer hues hot next season.

Hippy 70s chic and boho were the order of the day for Anna Sui.
Sui’s designs have got to be one of my favourite collections of NYFW. Models marched down the catwalk channelling Woodstock and flower power.
Denim playsuits (I’m holding on to mine from this season) teamed with 70′s style floral crochet cardigan knits and hats filled the catwalk.
And it didn’t end there with rouched suede boots and floaty chiffon and cotton “maxi” dresses, in a patchwork of florals, paisleys and Liberty prints completing Sui’s collection.
I can’t wait till I can get myself some of the highstreet copies.
View the gallery below and let us know what you think of the designs.

Hi fellow fashionistas
I’m Andrea, the new editor of ShinyStyle. As a girl obsessed with all that glitters, sparkles, or even just has zips or buttons, I’m looking forward to bringing you all the news on the latest fashions.
And it’s not just clothes. Oh no, we’ll be talking about everything from bags, shoes, make up and accessories from the highstreet to high end.
Let’s admit it, we all love a bit of Primark (yes, I hold my hands up, my top in this picture is one such creation) as much as we adore Anna Sui and coo over Chanel.
I’ll also be bringing you the latest on celeb trends, which although look great most of the time, will sometimes also have an (almost gratifying) element of “what was she thinking?”
But who am I to judge? I’ll let you into a little secret, I too have made mistakes in the past. Think multi coloured tights teamed with a similar style dress, and no I wasn’t going to a 70′s club night. Oh dear.
I would love to hear more about you too so please get in touch via our comments and let me know about your favourite outfit, whether it’s Primark or Prada, and your worst fashion mistake. Come on, don’t be shy, we’re all fashion friends now.

Following the internet leak of the Anna Sui for Target lookbook last month, Target execs have been quick to backpedal on any suggestion that the range has been inspired by Gossip Girl.
“One of Target’s top executives got nervous about being that closely associated with the show, given the [debauchery] its characters get into,” a source told the New York Daily News.

Comparisons are being drawn between Anna Sui’s previous collections, and her forthcoming range for Target. The designer has already cited Gossip Girl as inspiration for her Go International line, but clearly her past runways have also provided a good start. Four dresses from her 2006 and 2007 collections have been modified for her new retail range which is set to land in store on September 13. Most of the items will sell for under $50 (woot!) click here to check out the lookbook.

“Drum roll please!”
Last night’s CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) Awards in New York attracted the cream of the crop from our design pond, but only a few could take home a gong.
Rodarte’s Kate and Laura Mulleavy were the toast of the evening, winning the Womenswear Designer of the Year Award. They brought along a very happy Kirsten Dunst as their date.
Proenza Schouler were named Accessory Designer of the Year. While a very confident Alexander Wang was awarded the Swarovski Award for Womenswear.
For the first time the Popular Award was given to Ralph Lauren. Special honors included Anna Sui for the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award, and Marc Jacobs for the International Award. Check out a full list of the winners after the jump…

Kim and the Catwalk Queen gang have been waiting eagerly for the arrival of Agyness Deyn and Daisy Lowe at New York Fashion Week and here they are! The duo, alongside Lily Donaldson, stormed the runway at the Anna Sui Fall 2009 show last night. The collection itself was a romantic, feminine affair inspired by ‘reading lots of Proust’, according to the designer. Silk bohemian fabrics and early French velvet coats held such drama that one might have been forgiven for thinking they were watching a theatrical performance. This was my fashion week buddy Melissa’s favorite show of the week, and she’s gone to all the biggies.
Click on to see a video of the show and to watch your fave models in action!

Taking a very odd cue from the Spice Girls reunion and Britney Spears’ disastrous “comeback” performance at the MTV Video Music Awards, belly-baring tops are back. Marc Jacobs, Anna Sui, and Phillip Lim (shown) all sent models down their spring runways in tops that showed off the models ribbed, not ripped, tummies. Of all the styles to bring back, we couldn’t have had something a little more user friendly?

Now that all the major Fashion Weeks–from New York to London to Milan to Paris–are over, we’ve gone through every collection and chosen the ten designers we like best for spring ’08. There were so many gorgeous collections, but we were looking for fabulous pop-out prints and designs that were really awe-inspiring. Overall, I loved how most of the collections were beautiful, but very wearable at the same time. Continue over to the jump to see our Top 10 Fashion Week Designer picks.

At Anna Sui’s spring show, attendees were given a T-shirt in their gift bags that had an Old West style wanted poster printed on it with the words “Forever Wanted,” an image of the owners of Forever 21, and the Bible quote, “Thou shalt not steal.” The shirts were in reference to the lawsuit Sui has pending against Forever 21. Sui claims that the retailer has been copying her looks since 2005 without her permission. Other designers, like Diane von Furstenberg and Gwen Stefani, are in litigation with the store as well, and are lobbying congress, trying to get a bill passed protecting their designs under copyright laws.

Spring and summer ’08 look to be wonderful seasons for fashion, with plenty of styles to choose from. Half the designers went with more muted colors–gray, white, black, and beige–and longer hemlines, while the other half went for a more bright, colorful look ranging from bright yellow to red to green to blue and shorter hemlines. But overall, the trend for spring is waist-defining dresses with light, flowing skirts, and lots of belts–from skinny to wide. Not to mention hats! I love that hats are back–from floppy wide brims to porter hats to straw hats. Take a look at the summary of some of our favorite designers’ shows and more pictures from their shows, after the jump.
