			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hermes have revealed some very exciting news, this news comes in the shape of the fashion house celebrating a very special anniversary!</p>
<p>In total there will be 12 interactive rooms set up at the show, all of which will reveal a different aspect of the label, including the various styles available in both past and present lines.</p>
<p>Each room will talk its audience through the fashion house&#8217;s various leather collections, ranging from small clutches to travel bags.</p>
<p>Crafts people from the label will also talk fans of the brand through the work that goes into making such a bag.</p>
<p>Each piece ever made has gone through a painstaking process and all are entirely hand made!</p>
<p>This just makes us want to buy one or several as soon as our bank accounts allow us too!  Buying a Hermes bag is seen as an investment.  The timeless style captured by the brand allows the bags to stay in fashion as long as we do!</p>
<p>There is no need to update the bag every season, nor are owners required to stop using their existing style once a new one comes along!</p>
<p>If you wish to learn a little more about the legendary brand, make sure you are in London during the month of May.</p>
<p>The venue will be the Royal Academy’s Sister Space and the event in question boasts to be the biggest ever thrown by the stylish yet timeless fashion label.</p>
<p>Those that are fans of the label will most definitely already have the date in their diaries and those that don’t should be noting it down as we speak!</p>
<p>If however you don’t manage to make the bag show of the season, make sure that you read up on the event in question after it has taken place!</p>

<p>Make-up trends are heating up this season, with an assortment of new styles emerging on the Catwalk!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With so many styles to choose from, you&#8217;ll find it difficult to stick to just the one!  This is where a little much-needed advice comes into play!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>One predominant look is the sci-fi style!  This look is very futuristic try also very minimalistic!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Such a look combines a flawless complexion with clever lighting techniques.  The tones used are almost silver-&#8221;like, all of which create a very statement look!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The skin appears like glass to look at and the cheekbones, jawline and eyebrow bones are emphasised in an overly dramatic way!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This look is certainly not one for the shy and retiring wallflower!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In order to create such a style, you will need to invest in a few clever make-up tools.  You will also need a selection in highlighting, shimmering and sheet products!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This new era of make-up products have however hit the beauty counters by storm, so you certainly won&#8217;t run out of places to find them!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Check out the runways for a little style inspiration.</p>
<p>Make-up is as much a part of a look as our clothes are.  The make-up is the finishing touch to the outfit and the one thing that draws the entire look together.</p>
<p>Teaming your make-up to your attire is a must!</p>
<p>If you don’t follow the above simple rule, you may end up running your look.  For example, wearing a clashing lip hue with a statement top or pretty pinks with a demure and sultry outfit, neither of the above will enhance your style, they will instead offset the look in a bad way.</p>
<p>Soft hues work for some occasions, where as bright and overly statement hues work for other occasions.  Make sure you pick the right make-up for the right look!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Spring is upon us and that means one thing and one thing only!  It&#8217;s time to brighten up our wardrobes come rain or shine!</p>
<p>Hot hues and statement brights are certainly essential this spring season and appear to be hitting the runways with force!</p>
<p>Think statement oranges, hot reds, vivid blues and canary yellows!  Even if the weather is miserable, at least your wardrobe won&#8217;t be!</p>
<p>The cut this season is still quite dramatic!  Sculptured shoulders are still very much in!  Such a style will certainly work well to make an impact.</p>
<p>Peaches are also proving to be huge this year and such a colour is definitely proving to be one of the hottest shades of this season.</p>
<p>Prints are big and this year the runways are showcasing a huge choice when it comes to styles.  Think ditsy florals and abstract prints.</p>
<p>Ditsy florals tend to be more delicate in look whereas statement prints tend to create more of a statement.  Your choice will really depend on your personality and of course the occasion.</p>
<p>Florals always seem to make an appearance on the runway and are therefore classed as a fail-safe option when it comes to on trend attire.</p>
<p>If you wish to add a hit of colour to your closet this season, spring trends are certainly the way forward!  It doesn&#8217;t however mean that you can&#8217;t opt for a few pastel shades too!  If you are little shy when it comes to colour, pastel shades are a great shout!  Or alternatively paint your nails and lips with a bright hue and keep your attire simple and subtle.  This way you will stay on trend but won&#8217;t appear over the top!  As the weather starts to get warmer, don&#8217;t forget about your feet!  A hot hued pedicure will look great with sandals and a brighter than bright maxi dress!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>There are many fragrances around today, the choice is in fact endless, but one, which is outstanding, is Miss Dior. In 1947 Christian Dior wished to create a new and intriguing perfume to excel in his Dior new look. Several months before his new collection was to be launched he wafted a blend of patchouli and jasmine throughout his couture house in Paris. Many of his clients complemented him on the gorgeous smell, so Christian Dior decided to market the fragrance. A stunning design was needed for the bottle and of course a memorable name, but Dior wanted something classically British.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The glass bottle was embossed in a hounds tooth design but it took time to find the right name. Dior’s muse Mitzah Bricard was debating the name to use when his younger sister walked in the room. The name immediately occurred Madamoiselle Dior, but loving all things British he ignored French misgivings and called the perfume Miss Dior Eau Fraiche, which can now be purchased for a cost of £49 for 50 ml at dior.com.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Of course there are many more fragrances around to test and try.  One such perfume comes in the form of Diane, which costs £64 and is by Diane von Furstenberg in its beautifully designed bottle.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Calvin Klein Eternity Eau de Parfum is another great scent and comes in at £58 for a 100ml It is a scent that will send you heaven. La Fumee Eau de Parfum costs £85 and is by Miller Harris and with its artistically flower design bottle it will grace any dressing table with style.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Perfumes are a great way to add a little something extra too any outfit. Just make sure you separate the day scents from the evening scents. Wearing something too strong throughout the day could have the adverse effect just as wearing something too light at night could.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Finishing touches are important to any outfit.  Nails are a great way to add that little extra punch to any look.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We have a little inside information from the L’Oreal Paris Nail Expert to help you on your way!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In order to achieve an elegant looking set of nails, try and keep your nails only a few millimetres above your fingers edge.  If you haven’t quite managed to grow them just yet, keep them short and square.  Even short nails will look just as neat as longer nails as long as they are kept well manicured.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Shorter tails should rock a look that is a cross between oval and square.  Longer nails should be filed into an oval shape in order to achieve an elegant style.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As long it matches your outfit, you generally can’t go wrong between a nude, navy or bright red hue.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you ever find yourself in an ‘EEK’ nail moment, there is a way to fix it!  If you are rushing out the door as many of us have too, you may find that you have suddenly smudged a nail.  Quickly touch up the smudged area and apply a fresh coat over the entire nail.  If you are really rushed, finish with a quick dry topcoat, such as ‘Good to Go’.  This can be purchased for a price of £10.95 from Essie.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>There are an array of products available that boast to make that mani last!  These include applying nail oil every night in order to keep cuticles soft and groomed.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If varnish chips during the week, instead of re-doing the entire nail, dab colour neatly only the chipped area only.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Dry hands are inevitable, especially throughout the winter months.  Make them soft again with a good hand cream.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Liven your nails up throughout the week with another coat of polish in the same shade.  This will create that fresh ‘just done’ look without the hassle of getting the nail polish remover out!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We tend to opt for the bright lip shades in the summer and the eyeliner styles in the autumn and winter months.  Eyeliner acts as a comforting fail safe make-up style and one that works to add a little edge to an otherwise subtle look.</p>
<p>However the make-up trends for 2013 are proving to be a little different and a little more defined in style.  Eyeliner has taken on a new twist in order to receive a much-needed update for 2013.</p>
<p>The double swish was one such look that was taking centre stage at New York Fashion Week.  Forget the single flick of last season and welcome a more volumised style.</p>
<p>Altuzarra invested in the help of a MAC expert for their most recent show and this is the show that introduced the aerodynamic double swish.</p>
<p>Tom Pecheux used this revamped style to create a grunge punk couture feel.</p>
<p>Francis Daly opted to work with NARS cosmetics in order to create another double whammy style for the 3.1 Philip Lim show.  However his look was slightly different to that of Pecheux&#8217;s!  He instead used two colours to create the swish style, one in a deep black and one in a hot pink shade.  The end result was a completely revamped and refreshed style for 2013.</p>
<p>Carolina Herrera appointed MAC make-up artist Diane Kendal in order to create yet another stylish make-up option.  She worked to create a fine line of product along the upper lashes.  This in turn defined them in order to create the illusion of lashes coated in copious amounts of mascara.</p>
<p>The infamous colour artist Jenna Mennard worked with the models at Karen Walker in order to create an extremely detailed style.  This detail style didn&#8217;t however hold the original flick of past seasons and instead stopped at a straight edge.  This had the effect of a contemporary and cool style.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Valentine&#8217;s Day has arrived and most of us will either be out on the town or out with a certain individual.  Whatever you have planned, we can guarantee you wish to look divine!</p>
<p>An occasion dress is the perfect attire for such an event and will certainly make you stand out from the crowd.  Occasion dresses work for arrays of events.  Such occasions include the likes of Christmas eve, New Year&#8217;s eve, a prom, a birthday, someone else&#8217;s birthday and of course, Valentine&#8217;s Day.</p>
<p>If you are ever unsure of what to wear, a long black evening dress will usually tick all the right boxes.  It is stylish without being obtrusive and works for just about any dressy occasion.  This could be a dinner date, a gallery opening or even a ball.</p>
<p>However evening attire doesn&#8217;t have to always be of a black shade.  Adding colour to the mix can work to create a great impact.  Most evening events are full of excitement and entertainment, so why not make your outfit do the same!</p>
<p>Evening attire is all about the exquisite make-up, the shimmering gown, the superb skyscraper heels and the finishing touches.  These generally come in the form of jewellery, a cutesy clutch and a statement shawl.</p>
<p>This season is very much about the silhouette.  Many designers are creating 3D wear, which in turn translates to your outfit having as much detail on the back as it does on the front.</p>
<p>The shapes are really contoured and provide a definite impact, which in turn will make your date sit up and pay attention!</p>
<p>There are of course many other styles, which include the likes of A-line, mermaid, high and low waisted, ball gown, short and cute or long and elegant.  With so many styles to choose from it is wise to understand what your exact body shape suits.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are the kind of girl that prefers her denim pretty, in bloom  and right on trend, look no further than Hawaiian blooms, ditsy florals  and rose prints.</p>
<p>All are hot right now and all will work to really add a little sunshine to an otherwise dark and wintery wardrobe!</p>
<p>However  this season&#8217;s floral patterns are appearing a little different to the  floral prints of last season.  This season the floral pattern is donning  arrays of different items, including the likes of denim hot pants,  skinny jeans, skirts and cutesy denim jackets.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t be afraid to  mix and match prints, for example teaming a floral shirt with a floral  skirt actually works.  The key is to make one piece a subtle pattern and  the other a loud pattern.  This way they won&#8217;t clash but will instead  create a retro on trend look!</p>
<p>If you prefer to keep the look a  little lowkey, make only one piece a floral print item.  For example  team subtle floral print flairs with a simple tee, a pastel blazer and a  pair of hot heels!</p>
<p>Off set the look with a completely contrasting  clutch.  This clutch could be in a completely different material such  as a tiger or animal print.  This will create a retro twist and a vocal  point to the outfit!</p>
<p>Team the look with loose wavy locks and girl next door make-up  for a sweet and carefree style!  Think urban yet feminine.  The floral  trend is certainly a great look for the summer season but that doesn&#8217;t  mean you necessarily have to dismiss it through the winter months.   Simply team those cutesy denim floral shorts or hot pants with tights  and a grandad knit!  This is a great way to add a little lift to your  winter wardrobe and is certainly one way to brighten up a dull day!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This season denim has gone print-tastic, we might as well call it the new stonewash!  Think wide horizontal stripes, pastel stripes and coloured spots.</p>
<p>When wearing this look opt for a &#8216;thrown together&#8217; style!  As well as denim shorts and trousers, patterned denim shirts and jackets are also big this year!</p>
<p>Wear denim shorts with cutesy socks, printed shirts and a hot hued blazer.  This look is the perfect casual/cool look that offers a retro and stylish feel.</p>
<p>Places to check out if you wish to invest in the all-new denim print trend include the likes of Current &amp; Elliott at Net-A-Porter, Mango, Warehouse, Cheap Monday, Brat and Suzzie, Topshop, River Island, Hudson at Trilogy and Citizens of Humanity.</p>
<p>When wearing this look, don&#8217;t be afraid to team patterns with prints, this will in fact create a retro-cool look that works very well with this trend.</p>
<p>However if you wish to keep the look a little more low-key, maybe for a casual office style, then opt to keep the patterned jeans the main focus and keep everything else a little more toned down.</p>
<p>Pastel stripes look great with a crisp white shirt and brogues, finish the look with a cutesy yet stylish mac and a statement bag.  If you are wearing a certain colour on the jeans, try and make the accessories colour opposites in order to tie the entire look together.</p>
<p>Since the denim is so over the top, you can afford to get a little creative with both the accessories and the hair.  Try a twisted top knot if you wish to make a statement!  Try to tie your jewellery in with the outfit in order to tie it together.</p>
<p>Floral enthused brogues also work really well with either spotted, checked or striped denim!  This is certainly one outfit that won&#8217;t be ignored!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We, at present live in a pretty ordered world.  High streets blur into one, designer stores feature globally and even the vegetables we purchase from the deli conform to the same shape.</p>
<p>This consistency however is about to change!  Prepare yourselves for a fashion revelation and a fashion rebellion!</p>
<p>The individualist is about to emerge in the shape of a rebellion against the plague of sameness!</p>
<p>People are now looking beyond the &#8216;one size fits all&#8217; experience and instead are opting for something that solely fits them!  This is great way to invest in a one-off piece as no one else will in fact own anything like it!</p>
<p>Buyers are now wishing to invest in something they can personalise, this could be as simple as the addition of an initial or gilt on a diary or notebook, such as the ones styled by the brand Smythson and Anya Hindmarch.</p>
<p>Louis Vuitton are allowing customers to choose the coloured stripe on their purses and the shoe connoisseurs at Giuseppe Zanotti are allowing customer&#8217;s to choose the exact placement of bling on their newly purchased skyscraper heels!</p>
<p>Le Labo at Liberty provide perfume made to order, which is an extremely special gift.  Isn&#8217;t annoying when you realise someone is wearing the exact same scent as you?  Well with the personalised perfumes from the above brand, this scenario will no longer be a worry!</p>
<p>Nike iD are another brand that allow you to add that little extra touch by enabling customers to design their own trainers!</p>
<p>However if you really wish to add something a little more to a purchase, why not invest in something completely bespoke?  Annina Vogel has released a series of charm necklaces and all the individual charms can be chosen by the buyer, whether this is a gift for someone else or a gift for someone special, this is certainly one way to stand out from the masses!  Check the charm necklaces out at Selfridges.</p>
