It's officially the party season!!! <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Invites ready and rsvp'd, oufits hung and pressed in the wardrobe, just make sure that you have the appropriate undergarments that will work and enhance your figure, so as not to ruin the final look. The Style Eye has identified 4 party outfits taken from this season's catwalk, one from the high street and one all time classic cocktail outfit and paired them with perfectly working and matching lingerie from French specialist, Chantelle. Looks 1 and 2 are both taken from Vivienne Westwood's AW13 Red Label collection. They are perfect for a work-to-party option or for a posh Christmas lunch.<br />
Ditch the fail safe LBD this christmas and choose a cocktail dress with a dash of sparkle and colour, like the Isabel Marant for H&M seen below here. The easy drape top of this dress allows for a less structured undergarment on top, like C Magnifique. Chantelle's Hausmann, is a T-shirt bra with luxury styling details found and inspired by Tuxedo dinner jackets. Wear this bra with a YSL Le Smoking with the satin edging peeping out of the collar rever.<br />
<i>All lingerie is available at <a href="http://www.chantelle.com/">www.chantelle.com</a> </i></div>

What's not to love about autumn? Who can resist the look and underfoot feel of crisp, fallen leaves on the pavements & the vibrant shades of red foliage that is still to fall, and after having spent warm summer nights sitting on stiff garden furniture, reclaiming your comfy sofa, sipping a nice glass of red? Autumn is here and that means red wine is back on the menu & the lips!<br />

And it just so has it that fashion is very approving of a Bordeaux stained lip to complement this time of year. From Bottega Veneta to Dolce e Gabbana- the beauty message could well be 'guzzle as much Sassicaia as you can handle/afford - for it will only add to the intensity of this season's dramatic lipstick led look'<br />

Although, my savvy Style Eye readers, I'm sure you'd rather be spending your euros on fashion & beauty than v. expensive rare vintage Tuscan reds.<br />

How about Hourglass Rouge Liquid Lipstick in Icon? A true plummy red that stays put for hours. Packaged like a gloss complete with soft sponge applicator, it actually has the consistency of a velvet finish lipstick. Or for a really luxurious treat go for<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Lipstick Queen's Velvet Rope in Black Tie. It's a pinkier hue of plum packaged in a dynamic gold art deco-esque case, to make a bold statement in the powder room. Balance vibrant plum lips with velvet skin - prepare with a dusting of Houglass Ambient Lighting Powder over your usual foundation base & add just a hint of blush - let your lips do all the talking with this beauty look.<br />

A great compliment to a bold, Bordeaux lip is Nars blush in Oasis. Eyes work best in swiftly shaded in bronze, but if you want a totally high octane 'Guy Bourdin' style look, then layer autumnal brown eyeshadow hues below a swish of gold.<br />

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwoTq69dpg3FIc0ukhvNOZiPgtsYUe_U_Bo-uvp5slGhS8Qg4A5gX521bk1VxD4epkerhdp5Jbk5dz55PR1DHw36jCgZxpQSDBoCDMXUbLv_9xyUYPAndZZBUAwaaZFr8Ji-eGz3xrWmA/s1600/Unknown.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwoTq69dpg3FIc0ukhvNOZiPgtsYUe_U_Bo-uvp5slGhS8Qg4A5gX521bk1VxD4epkerhdp5Jbk5dz55PR1DHw36jCgZxpQSDBoCDMXUbLv_9xyUYPAndZZBUAwaaZFr8Ji-eGz3xrWmA/s200/Unknown.jpeg" width="200" /></a>In very hot heat, it only takes a short walk to the station and a stuffy tube ride to have all your make-up artistry end up on your chin. Not a good look. Stop this from happening with a little before and after preparation. I was introduced to <a href="http://www.johnlewis.com/elemis-pro-radiance-illuminating-flash-balm-50ml/p467233" target="_blank">Elemis Pro-Radiance Flash Balm</a> via <a href="http://www.redonline.co.uk/" target="_blank">Red Magazine</a>'s gift giveaway this summer. Applied before your usual foundation, it gives a glowing base that stays put all day long, for added staying power swipe over <a href="http://uk.spacenk.com/protection-naturelle-spf-50/MUK200006164.html?dwvar_MUK200006164_color=UK200006164&gclid=CN7N5YyZkbkCFSXLtAodDVoAoA" target="_blank">Chantecaille's Protection Naturelle</a> to set your make-up. Mid- afternoon touch-ups with this handy brush tube will keep you looking fresh and glowing until evening. Looking for an eye-pencil that doesn't smudge and never ends up anywhere else apart from where you applied it? Then <a href="http://uk.spacenk.com/larger-than-life-eyeliner/MUK200007608.html?dwvar_MUK200007608_color=UK200007608&start=12&q=nars" target="_blank">Nars Larger Than Life Long-Wear Eyeliner</a> is the one for you.<br />

I believe every season one should always treat themselves to a luxury beauty product - why? Because you are worth it. This summer, <a href="http://uk.spacenk.com/neroli-portofino-body-oil/MUK200009612.html?start=3&q=tom%20ford" target="_blank">Tom Ford's Neroli Portofino Body Oil </a>was what I treated myself to. After spending a hot day by the pool, it's the perfect 2-1 product after a cooling shower. The luxurious quality oil moisturises, whilst the summer fragrance, reminiscent of hot sunny days and nights in the Italian Riviera, lightly scents the skin without any need for spritzing a fragrance which can feel heavy on a hot day.<br />

From celebrity hairdresser's girlfriends to polite people on the early morning train, many of you have been asking about this bag. So here's a heads up on my <a href="http://campanas.com.br/" target="_blank">Campana Brothers</a> for Melissa white basket. </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
I was given it in 2005 by a friend who owned a fashion boutique in East London. He stocked the matching shoes, and he gave me the bag as I believe he had a few given to him for promotional purposes. </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
I decided to revive it from the top of the wardrobe late last summer as it seemed the perfect bag for a day trip to Whitstable, as you can throw in purse bags, clutches, make-up pochettes and Institut Esthederm sun protection with ease. The plastic irregular lattice work allows for hanging extra bits, like a Pucci visor and sunglasses, as seen here. The lattice work reminds me of Humberto & Fernando Campana's iconic Blow Up fruit basket which is produced in Italy by Alessi. The shape of size of the bag, are not commuter compliant by any means, but then neither is Chanel's SS13 Hula Hoop bag, yet they have been spotted in fashionable towns and cities too. </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Baskets seem so right for now, and this one in a modern plastic from a pair of cult designer brothers gets no better. Search the web, you never know if someone is willing to part with theirs, although they'd be silly if they did. In my opinion this bag is a modern classic. </div>

Everyone needs a new woolly jumper to at the start of the Winter season. The Style Eye is particularly fond of this fuzzy cocoon shaped number from Alexander Wang. The perfect item to pair with a full circle skirt to balance a chic daytime look. <br />

Who really needs a pair of totally impractical sharp stiletto heeled suede thigh high boots? Not many I suspect will need them, although I can imagine many will lust and covet. Just as we do. Top of The Style Eye's wishlist are Pucci's AW13 catwalk boots. <br />

Getting dressed to any sort of stylish standard was the last thing on most people's mind. So, imagine then what it must be like for the legions of fashion superstars who attended the international collections, having to make more than an effort to look good in the driving snow and sub-zero temperatures. Most, if not all, I gather from the street style images, adhered to the ' Seventy per cent of body heat leaves through your head rule' and about ninety percent of those outside the shows popped on a knitted beanie or bobble hat variation. <br />

The other, roughly, ten per cent of popular fashion heroines, including Miroslava Dumas and Giovanna Battaglia opted for an old school classic - a printed silk square folded on the bias covering the head and tied at the chin. This look was inspiring as an alternative way to stop the snow from falling directly on to the head and to keep the warmth in, without being fashioned from wool or such like. Although, on the catwalk, the prize for one of the best uses of wool most certainly goes to Dries Van Noten and his university striped scarves. Tied at the neck in a feminine half bow, this look is the quirky and cool way to wear woolly scarves next Autumn/Winter 2013. </div>

Copper-brown is the key 'neutral' shade for next autumn/winter. Like the 90s phenomenon that saw brown as the new black and all that blah blah blah, camels, mustards, tans and flashes of yellow are also added to the palette complementing this autumn 2013's main colour story. To be on trend, subtly include a piece or two to next season's outfits as many shades of copper are going to be the new.. err, black? </div>

The Style Eye would love to create new autumn outfits with a pair of Emilio Pucci thigh high softest suede boots and a burnt copper knee length pleated 'A' line skirt by Bottega Veneta ( although not worn together - well, not this season) What should you wear with this colour then, if not going head to toe like Bottega Veneta? </div>

Pair camel tones with a flash of neon yellow or Chartreuse as seen at Veronique Branquinho or with classic pieces in basic black like this simple trouser at Bottega Veneta. Martine Sitbon's Rue Du Mail sent down copper furs flashing coral belts and shorts underneath to create a modern look. Topshop Unique encourages the new full circle skirt silhouette by showing it in a desirable shade of orangey-tan. </div>

The masculine and tailored menswear look for women has been bubbling away for a few seasons now. For next autumn/winter 2013 this trend continues but blurs the lines between masculine and feminine styling. Best examples of this trend can be seen at designers Dries Van Noten and Holly Fulton. Their message is easy. If it's feminine clothing then sharpen the look with menswear accessories. When borrowing from the boys but cut to fit the girls clothing such as shirts, trousers and jackets then mix with girly prints and detailing. Be inspired at how the effortlessly gorgeous Giovanna Battaglia blends a mannish jacket and flat brogues with a simple yet feminine mini skirt, opaque tights and chic ladylike bag to balance the outfit. <br />

There is a riot of colour stampeding style and fashion this spring. Lively yellow chequerboarding on dresses at Louis Vuitton and plenty of orangey-reds and corals at Chanel and Prada. Endorsing hot hues is the style message for clothing and accessories this season, and that is why the beauty pundits are applauding and promoting nails that are from a pale palette. These 'Supernudes' are the shade of varnish for spring and can be found at all beauty counters. There isn't one exact must have shade, its more of what works best with your skintone. One tip that The Style Eye will suggest though, make sure your hands are perfectly manicured. Wearing natural shades enhance jaggedy cuticles and show chipped ends much more than a deep red or vibrant pink would, in fact thinking that this is an easy shade to wear isn't actually the case. The same goes for pale lips. The Style Eye loves a matt beige lip, such as <a href="http://www.selfridges.com/en/Beauty/Brand-rooms/Designer/TOM-FORD/Cosmetics/Lips/Lip-Color_450-3001058-LIPCOLOR/?cm_mmc=PLA-_-Google-_-PlusBox-_-Tom+Ford&_$ja=cgid:5189056654|tsid:35948|cid:116283454|lid:24800246374|nw:search|crid:19879381294&gclid=CO22urWJsbYCFc3HtAodIiEAGw" target="_blank">Tom Ford's Blush Nude lipstick</a>, and this too requires an immaculate foundation. Before applying a pale lipstick first scrub the lips with a homemade mix of gentle exfoliator and a decent lip balm to prepare the surface. <a href="http://uk.spacenk.com/Baume-de-Rose/MUK200000730,en_GB,pd.html?cm_mmc=Google+UK-_-F3D+-+By+Terry-_-F3D+-+By+Terry+-+Baume+De+Rose-_-by+terry+baume+de+rose-Exact&gclid=CJmb_--HsbYCFabLtAod0HEA0Q" target="_blank">By Terry Baume de Rose</a> or <a href="http://www.marksandspencer.com/NUXE-R%C3%AAve-Miel%C2%AE-Ultra-Nourishing/dp/B002DN23CA" target="_blank">Nuxe Reve de Miel Ultra Nourishing Lip Balm</a> come highly recommended. Wipe clean with a cotton pad or tissue and then smooth over a little <a href="http://www.liberty.co.uk/fcp/product/liberty/primers-and-concealers/veil%20mineral%20primer/65225" target="_blank">Hourglass Mineral Primer</a> to make a good even base for your chosen beige lip shade. <br />

If the thought of spending on £550 on a evening clutch is a little extravagant, then bear in mind you can pay ten times that for the Chanel see-thru mini box bag version! My advice would be to nip into Zara and bag their methacrylate clutch for just £19.99. </div>
<a href="http://www.31philliplim.com/" target="_blank">Philip Lim</a> said recently of this new fabric trend '"Perspex feels fresh because in a subversive way it's like the wearer is saying 'I have nothing to hide' " Show you have nothing to hide by filling your clutch with a couple of gorgeous goodies for everyone to spy and admire. Make like BBC 6 music radio DJ, Lauren Laverne and protect your phone with a Marc by Marc Jacobs creature case. Lauren went for <a href="http://www.my-wardrobe.com/marc-by-marc-jacobs/shorty-animal-creatures-phone-case-648593" target="_blank">Shorty</a>, yet here at The Style Eye we are loving little lime green <a href="http://www.my-wardrobe.com/marc-by-marc-jacobs/rue-animal-creatures-phone-case-816406" target="_blank">Rue</a>. There will be just enough room for a lipstick, so make it a good one.

Many of today's fashion trends start from being spotted on cool city sidewalks and areas that surround the international fashion weeks. Check back to street snappers and blogger's reports from Spring/Summer 2013, and you will notice that behind the fashion scenes there was a small rush of sweatshirts and tees emblazoned with mis-spelt-but-the-same-font of top international fashion brands. Sported by a few of fashion's elite personnel, a crowd who usually are styled and trend perfected to within an inch of their lives, and who are also well versed in the knowledge that images of themselves casually crossing the road, invite in hand, will be beamed around the world for fashion industry insiders and fans to peruse, judge and almost certainly copy. </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
So doesn't it seem funny that within this bunch, whose every fashion choice is scrutinised, that there are a few who would rather wear a misappropriated version of a designer logo than the real thing? </div>

Casual wear brand Conflict Of Interest are also producing a small range of T-shirts that also fit into this latest trend genre.

'Benzo - Bronx'</a> is a nice take on the recent fad for the Kenzo branded tiger knitwear and sweat jumper range. The creators have applied much attention to detail to recreate a Mercedes Benz front grille which cleverly imitates the popular Kenzo original version. </div>
With brands like Brian Lichtenberg seemingly getting away with producing and selling these versions, then there is probably room to create your own take on a designer brand classic, Chanel-esque 'SuperChic' anyone? <br />

And not just the usual up-and-down the catwalk shows, oh no, more than that! Hour-long relaxed events where one was fed, watered and superbly entertained . Who knew that upstairs at the <a href="http://www.swarovski-crystallized.com/stores/london.php" target="_blank">Swarovski Crystallized</a> mega-boutique on the corner of Regents Street, that there sits a fantastic disco-party space with bar and DJ? We didn't until we called in for an exclusive showcase featuring lingerie and swimwear collections by <a href="http://www.whatkatiedid.com/" target="_blank">What Katie Did</a>, <a href="http://www.dirtyprettythings.uk.com/" target="_blank">Dirty Pretty Things</a>, <a href="http://www.kissmedeadly.co.uk/" target="_blank">Kiss Me Deadly</a>, <a href="http://www.fredandginger.com/" target="_blank">Fred & Ginger</a>, <a href="http://www.poshtotti.co.uk/" target="_blank">Posh Totti</a> and <a href="http://www.paolita.co.uk/" target="_blank">Paolita</a>. Armed with champagne vouchers, we climbed the stairs to the sound of some very cool party beats, I wanted to dance, but alas no, we were there for a fashion show. <br />
Pre-show we scoffed handmade chocs and had a set of lustrously gorgeous SheebaRaye eyelashes applied for our pleasure. We took our seats for the show, and the tunes kept on coming, but still no dancing - since the show was about to open. As our feet tapped in time, we saw an array of silky intimate separates from designers What Katie Did and Fred & Ginger, neon babydolls a la Yootha Joyce on acid from Dirty Pretty Things, an amazing sheer floor length boudoir robe by Kiss Me Deadly, expertly wrapped, twisted and folded printed sarongs by Posh Totti and Masai inspired printed swimwear from Paolita. We left with totally uplifited, minds, bodies and eyelids! <br />

Over at Fashion Scout, we arrived at the decadent surroundings of Freemason's Hall for <a href="http://www.lizblack.net/#!untitled/sitepage_12" target="_blank">Liz Black's</a> A/W 13/14 'Wear Me' presentation. To get us warmed up for the collection inspired by the world of Wonderland, we were given Campari and Cutesy Cake cupcakes, of which the latter was plucked from the tea party table, the central point of the presentation. Models playing the part of Alice in white scupltural show piece dresses, walked the red carpet handing out a couple of silk roses by <a href="http://www.so-handmade.com/" target="_blank">So-Handmade</a>. We were lucky enough to have been handed one of these artfully made pieces in crafted in white silk stained with red paint, presumably after the Queen of Hearts demanded all the flowers in the garden be painted red. The next moment the Red Queen makes her entrance in a stunning red zip front mini dress with a raised collar that spread into over exaggerated shoulders and sleeves. If you think this sounds rather like something <a href="http://lizblackfashion.wordpress.com/2011/07/28/liz-black-on-fashion156-com/" target="_blank">Lady Gaga </a>would wear, then you are on cue as she has worn Liz Black's designs several times on the international red carpet. Although the show was centered on the eye-catching Wonderland designs, the presentation also included mannequins with designs that reflect Black's minimal and elegant aesthetic, for her collection of chic and tailored pieces for A/W 13/14.

The big debate amongst friends and colleagues this week has been 'What to give my loved one for St.Valentines day?' It's not like a birthday or Christmas when one is readily willing to present a gift and card. It's slightly trickier... Firsly, what to get? Most gift ideas for him or her would have been used up as Christmas gifts & stocking fillers with the giant gift-giving season just having passed only short while ago. The obvious choices of chocolates, champagne and flowers just seem a little tired, boring and an over used cliche. So what else is appropriate to exchange with a loved one over the candle-lit dinner table tomorrow night? And how much should we spend? And of course, how romantic should the gift be? </div>

Ok, so The Style Eye has ideas for those of you in this quandry. Think slighly quirky, fun and don't spend a fortune. On both counts, one must remember it's just a made-up day to remind the one you love you love them. You both know you do so a lighthearted token is totally sufficient here. How about a fancy Martin Margiela feather pen to inspire a flurry of hand written love notes throughout the year? Fun, functinonal and fairly resonable at £35.00 for a piece of an avant-garde fashion designer. If you didn't quite make it across the channel for dinner in Paris then how about browsing where cool Parisian folk maybe spending their Valentine's night in with Thames & Hudson New Paris Style interiors tome. And finally a cushion to cuddle up to, especially if it's printed with a dressed up version of their favourite pup! </div>

<a href="http://www.playfulpromises.com/" target="_blank">Playful Promises</a>, the hip London lingerie, swimwear and gifting boutique recently set a competition to find an emerging design talent to collaborate on a limited edition collection to add to their already successful range of ladies undies. The competition was open to all and was promoted mostly through design colleges. The response was overwhelming. Yet, Emma Parker and Louise McNaughton who design for Playful Promises had to choose a final winner, or three even? Just like the last season of Masterchef, whereby the last two finalists shared the winning trophy because Greedy Greg and his pal John Torode couldn't decide which finalist's plate to go for, the girls at Playful Promises went one better and indulged themselves to three final winners! After carefully studying the entrant's submissions, Emma and Louise selected a handful of the best aesthetically pleasing designs that captured the Playful Promises signature style. Delphine Thwaites of Playful Promises outlines the x- factor the judges were looking for "It was vital that the design had something that was signature to Playful Promises, something a little retro but with a quirky and directional design. But we were also looking for something a little new and exciting and unique. And we found three!"<br />

</tbody></table>
The three winners were Eva Lai, Carli Pullinger and Pippa Davidson. Pippa was inspired by the fusion of eastern design and western beauty, her contemporary purple and pink print was applied to a retro bra and brief set. In contrast, Carli Pullinger and Eva Lai took inspiration from the 1950’s. Carli focused on the female figure and 1950’s glamour and Eva used a nude and pink colour palette with a hint of lime green detailing. The limited run of pieces will be available from May 2013 as part of Playful Promises SS13 collection, online at <a href="http://www.playfulpromises.com/">www.playfulpromises.com</a> and at the <a href="http://www.playfulpromises.com/shop/info/boutique" target="_blank">Playful Promises Boxpark </a>boutique in Shoreditch . Playful Promises intend to launch another design competition in May for AW14 designs, so watch this space for more emerging lingerie talent! <br />

Maybe it was the 'Carine' effect that spawned this latest trend. Former editor of French Vogue, Carine Roitfeld would always arrive for duty at the international fashion shows, immaculately dressed in sharp heels ,with a very laissez-faire French attitude to beauty, i.e. rocking just a smoky eye and easily dressed hair. And most groundbreaking of all 'sans sac'. Whilst other doyennes of the fashion world were schelpping the shows with outsize totes and must have giant designer holdalls, Carine confidently carried 'rien'. No bag - all Carine held was a gilt edged invitation to a front row seat ( ironically, not that she would even need to produce such documentation as her presence alone would suffice for entry to any show she desired to view) </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Whilst at the show, I would wager Mrs Roitfeld most probably left a few things in the car with her driver, or had a team of assistants, interns and the like to do the carrying of any important items required (pen and paper for making notes? not Carine) </div>
Whatever the reason, I am sure it has influenced the death knell of the 'It' bag. Thank gawd!! <br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
It was becoming a joke, quite frankly, scrawny celebs carrying bags that weighed double their body weight just to make them look even more fragile and tinier. The size of Birkin's toted around town as handbags were larger than most budget airlines would even let you check in for a two week's holiday. It then spread out to the celebrity obsessed suburbs, and well of course, that also killed it. Fake or real Lariats or Bayswaters - the end was nigh for the 'It' bag. </div>

So ladies, lay the big 'It' bag to rest in its A2 sized dust bag somewhere safe until fashion deems once again big is beautiful. In the meantime, be inspired by fashion's international influencers and edit your items down to just a few essentials into what is just basically a purse on a strap or an oversized wallet. </div>

And finally your third favourite post is <a href="http://www.the-style-eye.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/The%20Grand%20Vintage%20Ball%20and%20Vintage%20Attire%20Pageant" target="_blank">'The Grand Vintage Ball and Vintage Attire Pageant' </a>I guess because vintage never goes out of style, just like The Style Eye! <br />

Next season we are presented with specific silhouettes and shapes for fashion, yet it is usually the details such as prints, accessories and styling that identifies the 'looks' from one season to another. Although we have seen bold and oversized statement jewels such as necklaces filter into the mainstream fashion recently, next season it is pearls that get blown up and enlarged. See how Chanel has exaggerated the their pearl bracelets and necklaces to balance the proportions of their voluminous silhouettes. In fact, Chanel has oversized sandals too, sparking a trend for clumpy-clompy shoes. Next summer shoe styles are lacking in any sort of discretion, wear any of the footwear as seen at Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, Prada and Louis Vuitton and you will let them know you are coming from streets away. If the shoes alone arent enough of a style statement then just add a large hat. At Chanel see how Karl Lagerfeld fuses a traditional spanish Cordobes riding hat with an huge 'compact disc' like brim. Saint-Laurent also chose to go large on the headwear with seventies style floppy hats.

Usually reserved for bridal wear and fancy holy communuion dresses, white and off -white satins fabrics were featured in high fashion collections for next spring summer 2013. At both Celine and Alessandra Rich, long, loose and flowing pants were present in both collections also including silk satin wrap tops at Celine and a waistcoat/corset hybrid at Alessandra Rich. The Style Eye recmmends that with the delicate and pale nature of this fabric, that silk satin items be worn for at special evening occasions only, just avoid the red wine! </div>

They certainly are now that we have adjusted our clocks back one hour last weekend. Darkness falls in the U.K. around 4.30pm at the moment. But don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, in fact the opposite. It means that my latest beauty must have is getting a good airing. Ladies, let me introduce you to your winter make-up essential, <a href="http://www.dlecosmetics.com/" target="_blank">The Dle Cosmetics All Natural LightUpGloss</a>. This wonderfully innovative product looks like a regular lipgloss complete with mirror, that is, until you open it. I know it's is Halloween today, but believe me this is no trick. Unscrew the cap and from inside it instantly lights up, aiding you to apply your lipstick with care and precision in the dark. LightUpGloss allows you to add a slick of moisturing gloss whilst avoiding all the horrors of ending up looking like the ghouls and witches that may knock on your door this evening looking for a treat. And talking of treats, here at The Style Eye, we are offering all our readers free shipping on all U.S. orders of All Natural LightUpGloss by using the code <a href="http://www.dlecosmetics.com/" target="_blank">'LiaLoves'</a> when purchasing these products online. <br />
One last little treat readers, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu71vbS7wuw&feature=player_detailpage" target="_blank">Little Boy Blue by Little Buck</a> as 'Days are getting shorter, nights are getting long, girl......'

Boxy and bold are the key stand out shapes and silhouettes for Spring/Summer 2013. From the shoulders to the waist the look is to go for large shoulder with even a touch of padding to emphasise the trend. Generally shapes are volumious and oversized. Tailored jackets and macs, which look like they have been borrowed from the boys were popular at Topshop Unique, Ports 1961 and Fendi. With so much emphasis on the top half of the body, designers balanced the look with slim fitting trousers, although, this season the waistband has moved higher to sit snuggly on the midriff. Balenciaga and Acne illustrate best the latest trends in silhouettes. </div>
