1. Kylie Minogue

Kylie was seen wearing these pair of  oh-so-fun white shorts at the St Pancras International station. She really knows how to travel in style huh? And then there are my oversized sweatshirts and “travel pants”. I need me some of that high waisted goodness!

My verdict: Love it!

2. Jessica Alba in Dior

Look who looked deliciously feminine in a floral Christian Dior strapless number at the Dior fashion show in Paris.  The weave belt and white Dior sunglasses complete the dress making it look effortlessly summery.

My verdict: J’adore!

3. Jessica Alba in Chanel

Of course, no one…not even Jessica Alba gets it right every time. I do love that Chanel dress but paired with that red belt and the black shoes (It doesn’t matter that they are Louboutins) and that hair-do (or lack of it) make me go why Alba why?!

My verdict: I guess everyone’s allowed one faux pas.

4. Elizabeth Hurley

Elizabeth wore a gorgeous Versace gown to to Elton John’s annual White Tie and Tiara Ball with her trademark thigh high split and excessive cleavage. Is this where Blake Lively gets her inspiration from?

My verdict: I’m not saying Liz doesn’t look gorgeous but no one likes a one trick pony.

5. Natalia Vodianova

Sometimes the romantic deep inside me can’t help but fall in love with ruffles. In fact, the more the merrier! I think Natalia looks absolutely stunning in this strapless nude Valentino mini dress. The only thing I’d probably change are those shoes. They’re just a little boring, don’t you think?

My verdict: As my sister would type, “<3 <3 <3!”

6. Ashley Greene in Azzaro

I have been following Ashley Greene’s looks for a while and she almost always seems to go for something too old for her. Case in point: this full sleeved Azzaro Pre-Fall 2010 dress that she wore to the Belgium premiere of  The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. You’re 23 Ashley and you have a long way before you need to resort to matronly dresses like this. Stick to younger looks please?

My verdict: Ashley Greene and Liz Hurley should exchange dresses.

See all photos of Ashley Greene in Azzaro.

7. Ashley Greene in Michael Kors

Case in point 2: This Michael Kors look she sported at a photocall in Madrid. What makes it worse is that hideous hairstyle!

My verdict: Fire your stylist. Also send your hairstylist back to whatever era he/she came from.

See all photos of Ashley Greene in Michael Kors.

8. Bryce Dallas Howard

I’m so excited about watching Bryce in the newest installment of the Twilight series. Something tells me she’s going to be fabulously evil in the movie….almost as fabulous as she looks in this Christian Dior lemon gown at the premiere at L.A. And I’m not even a fan of yellow!

My verdict: Red hair+ gorgeous yellow gown= divine!

See all photos of The Eclipse Premiere in L.A

9. Marion Cotillard

Is that a bed sheet, a curtain or just one heck of a fugly dress? Actually it could serve as any of the three but at the premiere of Inception in London, Marion chose to wear it as a dress with even uglier shoes.

My verdict: Excuse me while I try to erase this from my memory forever.

See all photos of the Inception premiere in London.

10. Megan Fox

When I first saw Megan in this custom made Armani Privé red silk charmeuse cocktail mini dress at the premiere of Jonah Hex, I thought she looked spectacular! The dramatic red against the pale white of her skin creates a delicious combination that is hard not to like. But the more I stared, the more I realized that perhaps the makeup is a bit much, no?

My verdict: Go easy on the makeup hun. You are far too pretty to need all those layers of makeup. Besides, it’s going to do little to hide/change the words that end up coming out of your mouth.

11. Jared Leto

I almost did not recognize Jared in this “Back to the future” kind of look at the Dior fashion show in Paris. Although there is a certain fierceness to this trench, baggy jeans, moon boots and fauxhawk look, I really miss my old Jared with jet black hair, eyeliner and mysterious, dark  brooding eyes.

My verdict: I don’t care what the world says. I want my old Jared back!

See all photos of the Dior fashion show in Paris

12. Robert Pattinson

Surprise Surprise! Guess who finally managed to evoke a lustful gawk from me. None other than Rob Pattinson aka annoying Vampire Boy himself! He showered, shaved and looked absolutely delicious in this maroon Gucci suit at the L.A premiere of The Eclipse. Taylor who?

My verdict: He cleans up GOOD!

See all photos of The Eclipse premiere in L.A.

13. Leighton Meester in Chanel

I love me some Leighton but I really want to know what she was thinking wearing this Chanel long-sleeved leather dress. With the current heat wave in Paris, it looks downright uncomfortable and super duper hot (for all the wrong reasons).

My verdict: Again, everyone is allowed one faux pas.

See all photos of Leighton Meester in Chanel.

14. Leighton Meester in Oscar de la Renta

Spotted. Queen B in a gaspworthy, GORGEOUS Oscar de la Renta Vermillion Silk Organza gown while filming Gossip Girl in Paris. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a dress this divine and believe me when I say I’d kill for it. Of course, no one can do it as much justice as our darling Blair me thinks.

My verdict: I’m too busy falling in love to give a verdict on this one. Go away. Shoo!

See all photos of Leighton Meester in Oscar de la Renta.

My favorite look has to be Leighton Meester’s Oscar de la Renta dress. Can’t wait to see how gorgeous it looks onscreen! And my least favorite has to be Marion Cotillard’s curtain dress. What about you? Btw, if you’ve spotted any extraordinary looks (good or bad) on celebs lately, do leave me a link below in comment box…

The best mascara (sigh) … Every woman at least once in her life called a quest for a mascara that would be perfect for her eyelashes.  And your humble writer is no exception.

So, as a result of years and years of searching, buying and experimenting, I finally found the 5 best mascaras that work perfectly on my average eyelashes.  And the best part is, these 5 top mascaras actually work on all types of eye lashes (my girlfriends tested them for me).

So, here they are, the 5 Best Mascaras that’ll give you the eyelashes of your dreams:

5. Givenchy Phenomen’Eyes Mascara …

a.k.a. “A revolutionary new mascara designed to grip at lashes starting at the roots”

Expert’s Opinion:

“I was extremely skeptical about succumbing to the allures of the ball applicator, but I’m pretty impressed. While I’ve had a lot of luck finding mascaras that give amazing length, none have ever given me much in the way of volume, so to find one that literally does everything (plus has a cool applicator) is pretty amazing!”

- shares Jen, A Beautiful Sentiment Expert

Description:

This revolutionary new mascara is made in such a way that your lashes will be gripped from the roots to the tips. The round sphere may look odd, but it does work ‘phenomenally’ in separating and curling your lashes.

Based on the price and the beautifully fanned out panoramic effect – the Givenchy Phenom’ Eyes Mascara is a superbly good buy. I personally think that no other mascara in the market, no matter how odd-shaped the sphere is – can produce the unique and dazzling effect that will just bring out the beauty of your eyes, whatever its shape and size.  It’s definitely one of the best among all the mascaras out there!

Usual Complaints:

• takes too much time to apply
• is prone to clumping
• does not work too well on shorter lashes
• expensive price

Best Price: $27.00 at Sephora

4. Lancome Fatale Mascara …

a.k.a. “Mascara that boosts spectacular performance”
Lancome’s Fatale is recognized as the best mascara by professional make-up artists.

Experts’ Opinion:

“…Fatale built up my lashes like nothing I’d ever used before. They were thick, lush, and very, very black, without that Tammy Faye look. Fatale has lasted through entire humid days… I am in love!”

- says the celebrity blogger Beauty Addict

“…if it’s length you’re after, it’s all about Fatale… Girls, this mascara is so potent, so dramatically lengthening, that your lashes will seem to touch your brows…”

- says the celebrity blogger Tia Williams from Shake Your Beauty

Description:

Patented 3D Comb gives exceptional filling power. From the first application Super coating formula with Filtex delivers a fine, strong mesh on lash to plump it up. The Plump Wax Complex leaves lashes perfectly coated & maintains fluid texture. A single stroke creates absolute volume to sculpt & plump lashes. Lancome Fatale enhances a glamorous look of your eyes for all day long.

Our Opinion:

What you should know is that it will take you some time to get used to this 3D comb, but after you do – there is nothing like Fatale!  It’s been called the best mascara for years now.  If you never tried it, you definitely should!  Every word in the description of this top mascara is true.

Usual Complaints:

• high price

Best Price: $21.00 on Amazon.com

3. Lancome Hypnose Mascara …

a.k.a. “Custom Volume Mascara”

Expert’s Opinion:

“…I’m the type of girl who hasalways been searching for that perfect mascara, and I finally found it! I wont switch to anything else, ever! I have long lashes, but thin and when wearing this mascara I get compliment after compliment, who wouldn’t want that?”

-says Kiley Kuchler

Description:

Dare to go up to 6 times the volume. With each stroke, the patented POWERFULL™ brush intensifies lashes from root to tip. Exclusive, fluid SoftSculpt ™ formula, enriched with Vitamin B5, wraps lashes one luxurious layer at a time without smearing, smudging or clumping.

Our opinion:

The mascara is perfect for creating the volume AND the length, it also separates lashes greatly.   Being another classic from Lancome, Hypnose is one of the best mascaras I’ve ever tried!  No wonder it’s always on Beauty Best Sellers Lists!

Usual Complaints:

• it might leave clumps, so we strongly recommend you try it before purchasing
• high price

Best Price: $22.00 on Amazon.com

• Lancome’s Powermascara “Oscillation”

2. Dior Diorshow Mascara …

a.k.a. “Dior’s best mascara ever”

DiorShow was named Best Overall Mascara in InStyle magazine’s “148 best beauty buys” (April 2007 issue, p. 460).

Expert’s Opinion:

“Dior’s DiorShow Mascara is as close to perfect as I have ever used…”

- says DrDevience

Description:

Dior Diorshow is Dior’s cult-fave, super volumizing, lengthening, and curling mascara. It creates the longest, thickest, curviest lashes ever, resulting in an ultra-glam “just-off-the-catwalk” look.

Our Opinion:

Dior Diorshow is an excellent mascara, but it does not work for everyone (for me personally it came as a challenge at first, as the wand seemed too big for my little eyelashes, but it gave amazing results once I got a hand of it).   The girls with longer lashes don’t face a problem like that, usually they fall in love with this mascara at first try. They say although the brush is huge, it makes their lashes look incredible, long, well separated, with a lot of volume and curl…  It’s true.  I’ve seen it on my eyelashes and on the eyelashes of my friends – amazing results from a top Dior mascara!

Usual Complaints:

• it smudges after a couple of hours (so it might not be recommended for those with oily skin)
• the wand is too big

We do recommend you try it before purchasing just to see if Dior Diorshow is the right mascara for you.

Average Price: $27.50 on Amazon.com

1. Chanel Inimitable …

a.k.a. “Mascara Multidimensionnel”

Expert’s Opinion:

Description:Now, in a single stroke, Chanel sets a new standard in mascara with a formula that does it all. A sophisticated formula and unique brush design combine to lengthen, plump and curl, delivering lush, long-wearing colour so precisely that each lash, even the finest, is perfectly defined and separated.

Our Opinion:

Being a make-up junkie I tried it all from Maybelline for $2.99 to DiorShow for $40 (that’s what they charge for it in Moscow, can you believe it!?). But Chanel Inimitable beats them all! Just like the ad says, with the first stroke you get the lashes you’ve always wanted! But of course you will need an eye lash curler before you apply the mascara. Your lashes will be spectacular, if you always thought that you had thin and not pretty eyelashes, this is the mascara to prove you wrong, it will make them look gorgeous!  The best mascara ever!

Usual Complaints:

- if you are looking for a very dramatic look and very thick eye lashes – that’s not the right mascara for you, it gives a natural look to the eye lashes (as in the ad of Chanel Inimitable below).
- very pricey

Average Price: $27.50 at Chanel.com

So, there you go, dear beauties

, the best 5 mascaras there are in existence to choose from to get those beautiful lashes of yours even thicker and longer!

Have you tried any of these 5 top mascaras?  How did you like them?  Or do you know about a mascara that tops them all?  Please do share in the comments, I’d love to hear which mascara’s been best for you…

FAKE- (SHRiNK WRAP + SKiNNY CC’S)

FAKE CHANEL INTERIOR:

AUTHENTIC CHANEL INTERIOR:

Another FAKE!

There’s some fake Chanel all around us even with our Celebs!!

I used to get dark circles under my eyes pretty often and the best I could do to camouflage them was cover them with some loose powder.  The eyes looked better, but the dark circles were still visible.  Until the day my good friend Laura introduced me to a concealer that actually worked!

Since then I tried quite a few concealers myself and here are my 5 Top Picks that work best on covering those dark under eye circles:

1. YSL Touche Eclat Concealer …

Price: $40 at ysl.com

Description: Instant highlighter. The best selling must-have take-anywhere pen-brush for adding a touch of light or banishing shadows and signs of fatigue from the eye area, the hollow of the chin, the contour of the lips and the sides of the nose.

My Opinion: I really liked this, although it is pretty expensive. It worked beautifully on my under eye circles. The product has particles that reflect the light, which makes it perfect for hiding such imperfections as the signs of fatigue under the eyes.

The pen does fit in your handbag neatly for touch ups, and the colour blends really well if you get the right shade, which should be slightly lighter than your skin tone (there are 3 shades, actually, #1 is extremely light, so it will work for very fair complexions, 2nd worked best for me – although I too have pretty pale skin and #3 will be perfect for those who are on the tan side.  Unfortunately they don’t have any shades for darker skin yet…)

This concealer works like a click top pen, so don’t worry when you will be trying it for the first time.  Just “click” on the top at least 5-7 times to get the product coming out.  Afterwards, it will be easy.  Every time you click, you’ll be getting just enough product for your entire under eye area.

I often use it on my cheekbones as well, it gives lights up the complexion.  The only downhill is that you should be really careful with how much you apply.  If you get too much product, it will gather in the fine lines under your eyes (not a very good look, trust me).  But you can avoid it by removing extra product from the creases with a swab before you leave the house.

2. Quick Cover by Chanel …

Price: $36.00 at NeimanMarcus.com

Description: Ideal coverage and camouflage. Long-lasting, waterproof formula. Creamy emollient texture diminishes the look of dark circles around the eye area. Effectively covers dark spots and blemishes and evens out skin tone. Light-reflecting pigments provide ideal camouflage and coverage. Sponge tip applicator allows for precise application. Using applicator, stroke on over or under foundation to camouflage any dark, blemished, red or pigmented areas.

My Opinion: This easily covered my under eye circles and my blemishes, and was long lasting too, but it didn’t have that “luminous” quality about it, which I so much like about YSL Touche Eclat.  This is my 2nd favorite concealer, as it covers great, but has a somewhat mousse-like texture which I personally don’t like.  And the other thing that’s a downhill for me is that it opens like a lipgloss, which means it’s an easy place for bacteria to enter.  But the color scheme is pretty good, so you’ll surely find the right shade for you, just look for something lighter than the rest of your complexion!

3. All about Eyes Concealer by Clinique …

Price: $15.50 at sephora.com

Description: Disguises dark undereye circles while helping to reduce the look of puffiness. Long-wearing, moisturizing formula won’t crease or settle into fine lines. Oil-free.

My Opinion: My favorite thing about this one was its moisturizing quality. Throughout the day it kept my skin in good condition, as well as hiding puffy eyes and blemishes. The applicator was easy to use and overall I was impressed, but the shades were at first hard to match, although they do have fabulous ones for dark skin tones.

But before buying It’s worth getting a few samples.  Just try different shades and see how it works for you, cause it might not be a good concealer for everybody.  While it covered my dark circles and made my skin look and feel silky smooth, it didn’t work out at all for a friend of mine, who later said it was getting into the creases and wasn’t covering her skin imperfections long enough …

4. Photogenic Skin-Illuminating Concealer SPF 15 by Lancome …

Price: $27.50 at sephora.com

Description: Lancôme’s new Photo-Flex Complex optimizes the effects of light to perfect the look of your complexion while Ginseng, Ginkgo and Vitamin C help energize your skin and broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreens help protect the delicate eye area from sun damage.

My Opinion: One of my favorites, this one also contains vitamins to help energize your skin while you wear it, and also contains sun protection SPF 15, which is absolutely genius!  It’s a little thicker than the rest, and so takes slightly longer to apply and blend, but it’s definitely worth the money. The shades are close to the lids, but it’s still worth seeing if there is a tester pot you can apply on your wrist to check that you get the best possible color for you.

5. DiorSkin Sculpt Lifting Smoothing Concealer by Dior …

Price: $31 at sephora.com

Description: Conceal imperfections and impart an ultra natural radiance with this new generation concealer. Infused new generation powders work to minimize fine lines while Dior’s A-Resist complex improves the overall tone of the skin. This unique coverup recontours the face and imparts a youthful glow.

My Opinion: This is a great concealer for the dark circles.  My skin looked blemish and dark circle free the whole day, but the smell was quite strong, so try this concealer before buying if you are sensitive to perfumed makeup. Skin does appear radiant, and it has the most natural looking finish, but it’s missing the moisturizing qualities that even some cheaper concealer now offer and just like with Chanel, this particular package might be very bacteria friendly, so think twice if you have allergy prone skin or eyes.

Whether you are going for a just-kissed look, a glittery pout, a lusciously red effect, or a satiny sheer shade, it would all depend on the lipstick that you are wearing. Take a look at our top 8 favorite brands and shades of lipstick and you’ll know what to reach for at the beauty counter!

8. Color Design Sensational Effects Lipcolor Smooth Hold by Lancome …

Price: $22 at Lancome.com

Description: Dress your lips in new Color Design Lipcolor for full coverage, smooth hold and sensational effects in one coat. Creams, sheens, shimmers and metallics — four modern finishes for custom lip styling. A range of 36 shades to create the perfect designer’s palette for any lip tone.

My Comment: If you’re looking for a gloss/lipstick combination, this is it. I tried Smooth Hold in the color Oh My!, which is shimmery and beautiful brown-beige. I love the fact that it almost looks like I’ve applied a gloss over the lipstick, so it gives me that extra shiny look.

Don’t be fooled, though… Smooth Hold is not sticky like a gloss at all. It’s creamy, not drying, and lasts and lasts.

7. Semi-Matte Lipstick by NARS …

Price: $24 at NARS.com

Description: A wide range of captivating shades designed to provide the look and style the color dictates. A highly pigmented matte formula provides a full-bodied, velvety finish. It’s exceedingly longwearing, nourishing and non-drying, with Vitamin E. Once you start wearing NARS lipstick, you won’t want to wear anything else.

My Comment: Shanghai Red is the color for me. It’s a warm brick red, and it is so flattering, but the best thing about this product is the fact that this lipstick never wears off! Semi-Mattes are so long wearing that I actually removed it at night with my makeup. Like the name implies, it’s a matte finish. So, if you’re looking for rich, velvety color with little shine, Semi-Matte’s the one.

6. Double Wear Stay-in-Place Lip Duo by Estee Lauder …

Price: $24 at EsteeLauder.com

Description: Enjoy the stay. Love the shine. Now, double up on color that outstays and outshines your day. One side saturates your lips with stay-on, stay-true color. The other side slicks on shine in one of three fabulous finishes: prism topcoat for super shine with a sheer, opalescent effect; pearl shimmer topcoat for intense shine with subtle pearl highlights; clear gloss topcoat for classic, intense shine. Luscious shades last up to 8 hours–through meals, drinks, busy days. For comfortable color that wont kiss off, rub off or fade out. Your lips will love it.

My Comment: I get so excited when I can get two products in one container… makes packing a makeup bag so much easier. One end is a base coat that’s packed with pigments for luminous, long-lasting color. The other end is a gloss… you’ve got three choices – prism, pearl, and clear. My favorite is Legendary Bronze with clear gloss. The bronze side lasts for hours, and I just reapply the gloss after eating.

5. Joli Rouge by Clarins …

Price: $23 at Clarins.com

Description: Joli Rouge offers an innovative and incredibly creamy, smooth and melting texture with a wonderful sensorial feel on application. The intense colour is enhanced by its shine, to give a really vibrant make-up result. It also cares for lips, providing them with extreme comfort. Finally, Joli Rouge is a delicious treat for lips thanks to its fruity fragrance/flavour.

My Comment: If you’re looking for intense coverage that’s true to the color in the package, Joli Rouge by Clarins is it! This lipstick delivers smooth, moisturizing color that’s totally opaque. It lasts a long time and really gives an eye-popping, dramatic look, but be careful not to get it around the edges of your mouth on your skin… it can be hard to get it off!

My favorite color is Cupidon Red, which is a sexy red shade. If you’re looking for something a little calmer, I also loved the Soft Berry.

4. Color Intrigue Effects Lipstick by Elizabeth Arden …

Price: $19.50 at ElizabethArden.com

Description: Sensational shades. Lasting color. Intriguing effects. Lavish your lips. New Color Intrigue Effects Lipstick glides on smoothly to hydrate, soften and shine. Creates effects that go from cream to shimmer to shine. Moisturizes with vitamins A and E.

My Comment: Color Intrigue went on smooth, delivered a bright, rich color, and lasted several hours! Also, it didn’t bleed or feather into the skin around my lips, and I love that. I chose Wine Cream, which is a brownish plum. I loved the color and thought it looked very professional… this is one you can easily wear from work all the way into a night out!

3. Aqualumiere Sheer Colour Lipshine SPF 15 by Chanel …

Price: $28.50 at Chanel.com

Description: A brilliant pop of sheer colour and ultra-creamy texture provide an immediate sensation of softness and comfort. Lips are thoroughly hydrated with a nourishing, soothing and fortifying action.

My Comment: This lipstick has it all… SPF 15 for sun protection, shea butter to keep your lips youthful, and Vitamin E to slow the aging process. Aqualumiere delivers a smooth color and bright shine, but I also like the fact that it’s a semi-sheer.

This means it also allowed my lips to show through a little bit. I liked that look… it looked a bit more natural. My favorite color is Antigua – a rich, creamy pinky-brown.

2. Dior Addict Lipstick by Dior …

Price: $25 at Saks.com

Description: Enter the world of Dior Addict and see lipstick in a whole new light. Sexy. Shine-drenched. Sensational. Light-saturated colors. All so fresh and easy to wear, they harmonize with everything. Discover a new way to play with color, a new way to express yourself. Give in. Get addicted.

My Comment: Who’s not a Dior Addict? If you’re not now, you will be after trying this lipstick. Dior Addict is a lightweight, smooth lipstick with good coverage, but the neatest thing to me was the multicolor effect it had when I applied it.

My favorite color is Digital Brown, which is a browny-beige undertone with bronze and red shimmer. I definitely want to revisit this color in the summer when I’ve got a little tan- I think it would look amazing with bronze skin.

1. Kiss Kiss Precious Colours Lipstick by Guerlain …

Price: $30 at Bloomingdales.com

Description: Kiss Kiss lipstick is an essential everyday accessory. This satin lipstick provides instant and long lasting moisture. Kiss Kiss provides pure comfort and an exquisite, sensual texture for hours.

Available in 30 shades with three tailor made effects: sensual and volatile metallic pearl, glamorous sparkle, or pure cream. Housed in a polished gold lightweight case, its the ultimate in modern luxury.

My Comment: This lipstick just sounds like fun when you read the name! Kiss Kiss Lipstick is easy to apply because it goes on smooth. I thought it had a really elastic quality to it – meaning that it didn’t crack when I smiled. I love that! It also has a sparkle that catches the light when you talk or smile, and it really plumped up the look of my lips. The most flattering color on me was #545 – Beige Strauss, and it went with everything!

just pictures:) to heat up our greed:))

It’s time to update your wardrobe for Spring and Summer, girls!   And this season there are so many hot trends emerging, you’ll have plenty to choose from!

Here are 7 Hottest Fashion Trends for Spring-Summer season according to fashion gurus from Elle, Vogue and InStyle.  And in between those fabulous pictures you’ll find my two cents on how to utilize these styles to turn into most fabulous fashionista on the planet!

1. Bold Belts …

Dressing up your outfit with a bright bold belt is one of the easiest ways to update your look.

If you wearing a black outfit, opt for a thick colorful belt that will instantly add character and style.

Or show your dangerous side wearing a belt with an animal pattern or a belt made of faux exotic skin!

Who said a belt should be made of leather or fabric? Try a more daring version of a belt with a soft dress, the contrast between the two will play up your whole outfit.  See how much more floating the silk in the pictures is?  It’s all about contrast …

2. Big Earrings, Bangles and Necklaces …

Bright jewelry is the best way to dress up any outfit. And this Spring-Summer season bold jewelry is as hot as ever!

Although, there is one rule of wearing it, which I’ve unfortunately learnt only after my fashion “faux-pas”.

Girls, no matter what your BFF say, there is such a thing as “TOO MUCH” when it comes to wearing bold pieces of jewelry. To play it right, wear 2 pieces (either earrings and bangles or bangles and rings or rings and necklace etc.) at a time and you will look positively fabulous!

Don’t you love these tribe-inspired earrings by Louis Vuitton? Now that’s what I call a statement piece!  I am sure there will be many look-alikes for a more reasonable price…

This season bangles are so hot, the more of them you wear at a time – the better!  And I am so in love with Lanvin bold bracelet made of gems… Didn’t they have something similar in H&M?

Necklaces are getting bolder and brighter as well. Worn over a dress or a T-shirt, a bold necklace will glam up your whole look.  AND a bold necklace can make you look slimmer – how fabulous is that?

3. White and Black …

Go classic this Spring, pick a black’n’white dress or mix your white items with black ones. Pick a white belt, black heels and black earrings, or look for a black and white necklace to complete the look.

If you’re going out after work, refresh the look with a fabulous black hair accessory featuring lace or feathers, and black lace gloves (these are so hot right now!).   And you’ll surely break some hearts that night!

Chanel featured so many gorgeous black’n’white looks for this Spring and Summer! Well, after all this is a classic combination and classic is always in style, right?

I go weak in the knees for these fabulous Chanel shoes on the left! That feather detail is precious … But there are more fabulous shoes to come, keep scrolling!

4. The Nude Hues …

At the other end of the scale, there’s the nude hues. The catwalk went mad for these Spring-Summer 2009, and as a result – there’s a huge range of nude colours on the rails!

Are you consider trying on something in nude? Don’t be disappointed if the first flick you put on makes you look washed out. All you need is to find the perfect hue for your skin – it might be a bit more pinkish, or grayish, just keep looking and you’ll find the hue that’s just perfect for you!

PS: I found that a slight tan helps a lot when it comes to nude colors. A good self-tanner could do the trick!

5. Colorful Bags …

6. Uber Short Shorts …

Do you have killer legs?  If so, this trend is for you!  Well, the shorts girls are sporting in the pictures are a bit too short, but you get the idea – the shorter the shorts you wear this Spring-Summer, the more stylish you look!  Just make sure your bootie stays covered ))

Dsquared2  panties/shorts look so fab!  If only we could take them from the runway into the streets…  But I guess my 80 year old neighbor will have a heart attack if she sees me in one of these )

Marni had a few of these uber-short shorts in their Spring-Summer 2009 collection, but I thought these were the cutest …

7. Cool Blazers …

My friend has made this look her trademark  , by mixing her boyfriends blazers with her shorts, tops and gorgeous bright jewelry. But turns out mixing a cool blazer with a dress or a gown is also an ultra fabulous idea!

Steal her look, or make it your own by mixing and matching skinny jeans, capris or short shorts with big blazers for an ultra feminine look.

So, are you now In-Trend?

Celebrity : Lauren Conrad  /  Brand : Chanel

The always fashionable Miss Lauren Conrad was recently spotted leaving a partying at My House in Hollywood. The bag picked for the occasion is one from Laurens massive Chanel handbag collection, the black lambskin clutch with gold chain knot detailing.

Very chic!

If on the hunt for Lauren’s chanel….

I’m sure most of you know that Chanel handbags can not be purchased online brand new (except for on bluefly), your best bet is on ebay or one of those other auction sites.

Just so happens right now you’re in luck.
