GET THE LOOK: Fergie

This is a great style if you want to accentuate your cheekbones, recomeneded only if you do not have a f.o.d like me. (forehead of doom) .

To get this look- add hair extensions here if you want extra length- tip your head dupside down and hold above head , pull it tightly so that it is pulled very slickly away from the face. Make sure it is positioned around the crown of your head. To do the hair over bobble bit, either take a section from the pony tail, wrap it roudn the bobble and secure it underneath with a bobby. or do the same thing but leave a piece of hair out and put the rest into the bobble.

GET THE LOOK: Kate Beckansale

This look is flirty, stylish and modern.
To get this look, take a wide section of hair (could be your fringe/bangs) and backcomb it to add volume, whilst holding this in place slick both the sides back tightly and pull to the back of the ehad, allowing some slack for the "quiff" part at the front. To create the texture in the back yu could allow the hair to dry naturally or use a medium sized curling barrel and curl the ends to add that flirty flick xx

GET THE LOOK: Lauren Conrad

To get this quirky ponytail read on <3                                                                          
Tip your head upside down and secure so that you ahve a really high, preppy pigtail. Make sure your fringe/bangs are out. Then use a wide barrel curling iron to curl the ponytail at the back, leaving it big and bouncy. Use a hairspray to keep it secure and neat and for lasting power xxx

Glittery lip tatoos!

Hey, another post. I'm sorry to everyone who already knows either about these particular ones or jsut in general that you could get make-up lip temporary tatoos. I jsut found out, and i think it is awesome!.

What are they?
These ones are glittery lipstick style tatoos. They come in a set for one mouth i think like an upper and lower lip , then you pop them out, measure it to your mouth and apply with water. Then you jsut peel it off and wallah, you have lipstick with a ton of glitter that in theory stays on. If anybody has/is going to try this could you let me know how it went on? i'm intrigued, but i don't suit lipstick. I'd love to see a picture or reveiw off someone if you use it :) purplestar@hull7.plus.com

heres a link to the shop CLICK ME, And here is a video on how to apply them for you ;) im not in the video, but if you do mistake me for her (her being a supermodel and all) i would be "well" chuffed.

Mila Kunis, new fashion icon?

She's quickly making a name for herself after staring in brand new film "friends with benefits" with co star jsutin timberlake. After just glimsping at her wardrobe history i realise not only is she an up an coming acting superstar but also a new face of fashion? thats up for you to decide. I've put together a few of her recent outfits (4) and i'll leave you to make up your mind, with a bit of persuasion on my half.

Here she is in russia for the friends with benefits moscow premiere (what a mouthfull), wearing the outfit from the Elle Saab 2011 couture collection. She looks like she has just stepped of the catwalk, i absolutley love it. She is also wearing Elle Saab shoes. I think she looks liek a ballenrina and has definatley got the hautre vote from me. Also, it ties in perfectly with the theme of her last film which was "black swan".
Dress Details:
  • Plunging neckline
  • Beige mesh front
  • Beading on the mesh
  • Embroidary on the flutter sleeves and shoulders.

Here she is wearing a gorgous red lanvin dress. It shows off her figure and her tan beatifully with both the colour and the bodycon shape. It has an off the shoulder sweetheart style neckline, this has broadened the shoulders slightly which shows off her curves as it balances out ehr hips making ehr waist appear even smaller. Her hair has jsut been straightened and kept off her face by wearing it down her back, To acheieve this look use a silky conditioner like this tresemme product and follow up with some Ghd's. The overall look is both simple and sexy, being finished with only 4 accesories, a pair of long earings, some black pumps and 2 simple bracelets.



Not only do i think she is excelling in the world of fashion and acting, company magazine seem to aswell. She has scored the front cover! i mean i got offered a coupel of front covers but i turned them down, i mean i am just so busy busy busy (that was a joke...) Starting with the dress, the stylist here has very much channeld the 60's era in this dress. Ther architectural , bold print, storng cut of the dress and square belt is definatley 60's glamour. Her hair has lots of volume and is very much that grunge sort of feel (not dirty or greasy or trampy), as in theat straight , almost slightly wavy, effortless bed hair. To get this, i recommend tipping your head upside down after blow drying your hair and spraying this volumising spray over your hair, tip back up and wallah. You could allways make adjsutments with hairspray and ghd's/ other straightners. There are not any accesories in this look besides the belt which ahs a wooden appearence. They do handcrafted wooden belts here. The makeup is simple , exept for the eyes which are sporting a brown smoky eyed effect. For a make-up tutorial on how to do this click here.



Here she is at the spike tv awards in 200d in los angeles, California. I really liek this look, i think on the wrong person it could look sort of peacocky'y (not a word :/ ) but on her it just emphesises how thin she is and also shows off her lovley tanned legs. I found two dresses , different variations of this one, the first has lots of detailed sequins on the bodice, it is strapless and has a ruffled skirt just liek this one, you can find that here. And the other one is also black and strapless, with a softer black skirt here. The shoes are a contrasting black and cream/white. New look do a really nice pair of contrasting, high heeled t strap shoes in black and white. They arn't the same as these but are really nice and will still enable you to get the look. Her hair is short, glossy and lightly curled and she is wearing an over sized metal cuff. Finished with a simple manicure and natural make-up. Try this home french mannicure kit.

How to wear night jewelry during the day


all rights reserved, not my photo
 Most people have that necklace or bracelet that they wear only at nights, be it pandora or diamonds or other. But there is a way you can bring the bling (like what i did there?) out of hiding and wear it during the day. The key is to mix and match untill you find a conmbination fo jewelry that you would wear every day and your glam stuff. For example wear your pearls with some costume jewelry, a set of different coloured beads or just put it on for a bit of a boost. Wear that high-end cuff with 2 bangles in similar but different colours/shades. Its all about matching it to what your wearing, how your feeling anf where your going. As you can see , left, shes worn a very intricate , sparkling necklace with a reasonabley plain beaded necklace wrapped around a few times. Its little tricks like this eg. wrapping the necklace round twice and putting another one over the top or putting a long necklace and a short necklace together. Keep playing around untill you find a match, but don't be scared to wear jewelry during the day. You only live once.
