I recently had the opportunity to check out the amazing stylings of Carmelita Couture first hand (www.carmelitacouture.com), and was instantly in absolute lust with each and every look they had to offer. To put it simply, the style is party girl nirvana.
Not only was I enamored by all the vibrant colors, luscious fabrics and playful prints, but the silhouettes are the true peak of perfection. Fun, flirty mini’s paired with hourglass shapes that beautifully accent the female form make their signature dress style both flattering and ultra-feminine.

…NOW FROM GREATER HEIGHTS!

Hopefully by mid-September, there will be a brand new shoe hall in Selfridges. After three years of planning, the retail genius has pulled together over 120 brands, from River Island to Christian Louboutin, and put them under one roof. Tate St Ives designer, Jamie Fobert, created a unique floor made up of six special “salons”. Each salon has a different style and price range. There are other quirky little rooms, including the Coco Chanel “Apartment”- designed in the style of her old abode- Topshop “Pad” and Prada “Suite.” And with any new swanky shop, it’s all about the extra little details- exclusives such as the Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte shoes, and a limited edition Balenciaga black-on-black pair, as well as Tamara Mellon herself picking the furniture for the Jimmy Choo Lounge.

Street style. It’s out of control and I blame Scott Schuman; it all began with The Sartorialist. What started with a lone man and his camera spawned a legion of fans, a book and countless copycats. Where fashion was an exclusive and high-end concept, the phenomena of street style has subverted the dominant narrative of style and replaced it with the notion of ‘the people’s fashion’. Whereas street style once emulated high end and high-street fashions, it now influences, if not creates, it. From geriatrics to teens to cyclists to off-duty models, it would appear that no one is safe from a snap-happy stylista. In an over-crowded fashion bubble, ESVIE takes you on a walk off the beaten track to bring you the greatest under-the-radar street style blogs from around the world.

Being the official sponsor of Miss England, Helen E products are sure to be fit for a princess! We all deserve to live like royalty so I thought I would indulge in a selection and report back with my favourites!!
Cream and Concealer duo:
A beautiful compact with a yellow toned concealer and a skin smoother. Suits most skin tones as you can mix each part to create your perfect colour. Use by it self or on top of your foundation. Either way you create a gorgeous smooth dewy finish. Lush!
Powder Blush (Peach cheeks):
I absolutely adore the piece!! I use it for myself and for my photoshoots! The colour is so warm yet gentle and compliments most skin tones. The blush stays on all day too. A definite ‘must have’ for summer! Read more »

Introducing Maria Lau’s fourth collection ‘Tribal Clish-Clash’. This collection brings a fresh and youthful edge to the brand with bright colours and new materials on a base of black. While keeping her signature materials of hosiery and skillful techniques of braiding, Maria has introduced some new textile additions of neon pink hair, black lava beads and sophisticated colour-clashes. I am confident to say that this collection for Autumn/Winter 2010-11 pushes Maria Lau towards a more edgy, fashion forward style! Read more »

Heidi Montag
Written by, Becky Harris,

I thought I’d seen the worst of it all when “The Hills” star Heidi Montag, 23, left a surgery after ten hours of her bits and bobs being blown up, cut up and stuck back on. But no, sadly, it seems this trend is now branching down to even younger beautiful people. And these people really are beautiful; whoever is suggesting they need to be tweaked must be blind!
