Natalia Vodianova Covers Glamour Paris in Christian Dior and Denim

June 4, 2013

Natalia Vodianova covers the July 2013 issue of Glamour Paris, modelling a tomato red Christian Dior top and a pair of patchwork jeans. The 31-year-old model proves that denim really does work with everything, even high fashion designs straight off the Paris runway! We’ve seen a lot of Dior’s collections on magazine covers, so far this year, but Glamour’s shoot sets itself apart from the rest with the casual styling and cool attitude. Doesn’t Natalia look great?

The glittery pool shoes are a bit of a surprise. And, although I’m not really a fan of the look Christopher Kane popularised in Spring/Summer 2012, I have to admit these particular sandals are actually pretty cool! Both ASOS and Topshop have similar (less glittery) designs on offer, this season, if you fancy copying Natalia’s look…

Do you like Natalia Vodianova’s Glamour Paris cover? Are you pleased to see Christian Dior styled in a different way?

Amy Adams Covers ELLE UK July 2013 in Christian Dior

May 24, 2013

Amy Adams ELLE UK Cover Amy Adams covers the July 2013 issue of ELLE UK. I’m really looking forward to receiving my copy, as I’m a big Amy Adams fan and definitely think she deserves more attention from fashion magazines. But that said I’m not overly keen on the newsstand cover image, so I wasn’t originally planning on posting this story. However, I just realised if I featured the cover I could also share one of the musical numbers from Enchanted, and I think we could all use some Disney magic today! Watch “That’s How You Know” below. And if you haven’t already seen Enchanted you need to order the DVD right now. You won’t regret it, I promise!

Anyway, back to ELLE UK… Amy Adams is promoting her latest movie, Man Of Steel, and models a Christian Dior coat and silk body on the newsstand cover. At present the subscriber’s edition hasn’t been released, but I’m hoping it will be a little more daring. I miss ELLE UK’s bold and graphic covers. Let’s just hope Amy unleashed her inner supermodel in the accompanying Jan Walters editorial. I can’t wait to see it.

Are you pleased to see Amy Adams on the cover of ELLE UK? And is Enchanted one of your favourite Disney films?

The Christian Dior Fall 2013 Andy Warhol Drawings in Detail

April 22, 2013

Christian Dior Andy Warhol Fall 2013

Ever since Raf Simons took over at the house of Christian Dior the label has been dominating the red carpet. Everyone wants to wear Dior right now – from Gwyneth Paltrow through to Jennifer Aniston – and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if celebrity stylists are already fighting over the Autumn/Winter 2013 collection. At Paris Fashion Week, in March, Christian Dior showed a stunning ready-to-wear collection, embellished with drawings from Andy Warhol’s early career as a fashion illustrator. I was lucky enough to get a closer look at the designs, last week, and you can find all my photos below:

With the Cannes Film Festival coming up in a few weeks’ time I’m hoping we’ll see one of the Andy Warhol illustration designs on Carey Mulligan. She’s likely to stick to a one-of-a-kind Prada design for The Great Gatsby premiere, but I’m sure there will be plenty of other opportunities for her to wear this collection at Cannes photocalls and interviews. See more images of the Christian Dior Andy Warhol designs after the jump…

The Dior at Harrods Window Displays {A Closer Look}

March 27, 2013

Dior at Harrods Window Displays

Last week I finally found the time to pop into Harrods for a look around the Dior exhibition, and I’m pleased to say it lived up to expectations. By now I’m sure you’ve been inundated with photos of the pop-up exhibition, so I won’t bore you with another set of pictures (although you can find a few in my Instagram feed), but I did want to share these fantastic shots of the Dior at Harrods window displays. The spectacular windows celebrate British culture (note the London Eye, Big Ben and the double-decker buses) and showcase Raf Simons’ designs for the French fashion house. If you’re not able to get to London to visit the Dior takeover don’t panic, as here’s a detailed look at the fabulous windows. Enjoy…

7 Things To Do This Weekend: The Dior and Michelle Obama Edition

March 15, 2013

Hooray! It’s finally Friday! There’s lots to busy yourself with this weekend, from the exciting Dior “takeover” at Harrods to the newly opened & Other Stories store on Regent Street. Here are seven fashionable ways to fill your time. Take a look:

seven things to do this weekend

1. Buy a bunch of flowers… Why wait to receive a pretty bouquet when you could just go out and buy one for yourself? Wasn’t that the overall message Destiny’s Child left us? It’s been a long, cold and fairly miserable week: you deserve it!

2. Check out the Christian Dior takeover at Harrods… This weekend the iconic fashion house hits Harrods department store. Described as a “luxury-charged adventure combining French Savoir Faire and British charm”, the Dior takeover will involve exciting window displays and a mini-exhibition on the fourth floor. You’ll even be able to visit Café Dior, which will be serving up lobster club sandwiches and Dior cupcakes. In store from March 16th to April 14th, 2013. Don’t miss out!

3. Perfect your liquid eyeliner application… It’s one of the trickiest makeup looks to master, so why not practise over the weekend? I find it easiest to use a gel liner (Bobbi Brown and Mac do two of the best) and a small, angled makeup brush. And, if all else fails, check out this ‘Feline Flick’ how-to video with makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury.

4. Shop at & Other Stories… H&M’s new luxury store, & Other Stories, officially opened last week. And now that the initial buzz has died down it’s the perfect time to visit the Regent Street flagship store. Expect cool statement dresses, printed skirts, must-have knits and a wide selection of handbags and shoes. If you can’t get to London fear not; you can shop online at Stories.com as well.

5. Watch your favourite teen drama again… I spent my teenage years watching The OC and obsessing over Marissa Cooper’s wardrobe. But maybe you were  Dawson’s Creek girl instead. Whatever the show, why not watch a couple of episodes this weekend an revisit your teen years? I’ve actually just started Felicity. I missed it the first time around but have quickly become addicted.

6. Visit the White House… First Lady, Michelle Obama, covers the April 2013 issue of US Vogue. This is Michelle’s second Vogue cover and it’s sure to be another best-seller for Anna and team. You can read Jonathan Van Meter’s profile on Vogue.com now and there’s also a selection of Annie Leibovitz images to view too.

7. Update your underwear drawer… As I’ve mentioned numerous times in the past, I’m not one to get excited about lingerie. Embarrassingly I probably haven’t worn matching underwear in about six months, and the last time was a total accident anyway. It’s never to late though, right? This weekend I’ll be searching out pretty lingerie sets, and top of my wishlist is this poppy print design from Topshop, £26.

Beauty Boost: Brightly Coloured Eyeliner {Trend to Try}

March 12, 2013

Surprisingly one of my favourite Spring/Summer 2013 trends doesn’t actually have anything to do with clothes. Instead it’s all about the eyes. The runways at New York, London, Milan and Paris all had one thing in common, this season… Models were all wearing brightly coloured eyeliner. Whether it was a subtle hint of amber or a bold stroke of fuschia pink, bright eyes were the statement look. It’s a style I’m keen to copy, and I’ll be experimenting with a range of colours and techniques. Here are four coloured eyeliner looks from the SS13 shows – they’re sure to inspire!

My favourite look is the skinny line of turquoise liner, seen at Stella McCartney. It’s fresh, fun and easy to recreate at home. I’m already a big fan of Stila’s smudge sticks (I use the khaki green religiously), so will invest in one of the brighter shades. And I’m also tempted to try Sephora’s jumbo liner in violet for a more dramatic look. If only Sephora would make a return to the UK! Here’s a selection of statement eyeliners to try:

Are you a fan of the brightly coloured eyeliner look? Will you give this new trend a go? Any product recommendations?
