Gold metallic trousers

Anna Krahn — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 06:41:35 +0000

If your wardrobe turns from bright to dull the minute the seasons change what you need in your life is a pair of gold trousers. We’ve missed metallic colours for the last few seasons so it was nice to see a bit of metal back on the catwalks particularly in the form of gold trousers. The inspiration is Balmain for Autumn/Winter 2010 but we’re loving Reiss’s 80s inspired gold skinnies and River Island’s subtler take on the trend in the form of dark gold jeans.

Wardrobe essential: A rose gold watch

If there is one accessory we’ve decided that we can’t live without for next season, it’s a watch in rose gold. We love this Guess one that we spotted at the press day and is now in stores. The Michael Kors watch is a classic updated with an elegant twist and for those who want something a bit more square the Armani watch from Goldsmiths is a real head turner.

Guess watch at H.Samuel £179, Michael Kors Glitz watch £250, Emporio Armani slim rose gold watch at Goldsmiths £329

Blake Lively and Leighton Meester in Michael Kors

Anna Krahn — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 11:47:44 +0000

Blake Lively and Leighton Meester each have their own unique (ridiculously fabulous) style and both have recently stepped out in different styles of Michael Kors’ gorgeous cut out dresses.

Blake Lively shone in a cobalt blue dress at the MTV Movie Awards this weekend, which she teamed with a pair of platformed purple Louboutins, while Leighton Meester recently drew many a stylish nod for her black floor length dress with cut out sides.

So, in the dress wars, which of the Gossip Girls rocks Michael Kors best?

It’s So Very Hollywood!

Jayne — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 09:29:26 +0000

Here at Westfield HQ we get very excited whenever there’s a new limited edition beauty collection – and the new range from Estée Lauder, Michael Kors Very Hollywood Color Collection – is no exception.

Since this gorgeous new collection landed on our desks, we’ve been smitten with it. From the sleek beige packaging to the very glam colours, it’s a collection destined to make you feel like a Hollywood star – even if you live in Lewisham as opposed to LA!

According to Michael, “The inspiration for the Estée Lauder Michael Kors Very Hollywood Color Collection is iconic Hollywood glamour, both past and present, interpreted for everyday life.” And we can say that for once, the blurb is very true.

The Bel Air Beige range features a classic combo of beige and coral, with shimmery peach lips, cheeks and a smoky eye, while the Rodeo Pink range contains vibrant shades of raspberry, with the focus being on bold lips.

Our favourite item in this gorgeous new range though has to be the Estée Lauder Michael Kors Very Hollywood Shimmering Loose Powder. It may not make you look like Angelina Jolie, but we find the silky formula gives us a gorgeous glow, making us feel like we’ve just come back from an A-list holiday in the Bahamas.

It’s a fabulous range, which looks as good on your dressing table as it does on your face and we’re pretty sure it’s going to be a sell out. So, to make sure you enjoy a touch of Hollywood glamour at home, get down to your nearest Estée Lauder counter from 1st February!
