Brand Alert: Revolution Riche.

Whilst a classic grey sweater, most likely a T by Alexander Wang, is a staple, bringing a smidgen of chic urban to each outfit, sometimes a wardrobe needs a piece that’s loud. Loud enough to attract lazy eyes passing you on the street, loud enough to take your otherwise ‘jeans and a sweater” outfit to a new level….louder than, dare I say it, a neon Kenzo SS13 jumper. 

Revolution Riche delivers this volume of creativity, offering a well-curated street collection of sweaters that almost hypnotise your startled eyes. If you’re feeling like P Diddy then the sweater covered in hundreds is for you, or if you’re feeling arty and cultural then “The Virgin” crew neck just might tickle your fancy, either way you’ll find one design that will make you salivate…just a little. I hear your screaming thoughts of the fact that summer is rolling in, albeit slowly, and you don’t want to be in that uncomfortable situation where you thought you’d be fashion forward but instead you’ve only succeeded in bathing in a pool of your own sweat, fear not for these eye-catching creations are now available in a lightweight summer version. And they ship internationally.

What’s stopping you?

Velour Lashes.

We ladies will go to great lengths to achieve the perfect look. This usually includes painstakingly adhering synthetic lashes onto our own less than adequate, unruly hairs sprouting from our eye lids. 

But I write this bringing good news, the days of synthetic are over! Yes, no longer will your false lashes be too long that you’re spending your evening blinking profusely, too dark and thick that you look like you’ve been punched in the eye or too heavy your neck hurts from tilting your head upwards in order to see anything. 

Velour lashes are 100% genuine mink, bringing a fabulously natural look to your eyelashes and come in a variety of styles from those who need a little boost to those who want to channel their inner glamour puss. The band of the eyelash is also designed to aid easier application, which means no more glued-shut eyes. Lightweight, can be reused up to 25 times, boasting speedy worldwide delivery, and selling out, unsurprisingly, at IMATS, it’s about time to turn to Velour for eyelashes that will have everyone you look at, all aflutter.

YSL’s Tri-colour Top Coats

The nail industry seems to be enjoying its time in the spotlight as it keeps churning out different textures and finishes and colours that make us want to squeal with excitement.

But when I saw YSL’s tie-dye top coat innovation, I did not squeal audibly, no, my jaw swung open and I remained silent, in awe of this creation. The four different coats can be applied on plain nails to give then an interesting sheen or on top of painted nails to add a shimmering pigmented edge.

Once again the nail industry has conjured up new and delightful ways to persuade us to part with our money….

Summer 2013 trend: Slip-on Sneakers

Sneakers and high fashion have become very close friends recently, nevertheless, the high-top has ruled the roost - there has been no shortage of instagrammed Christian Louboutin and Guiseppe Zanotti high upper sneakers gracing our smartphone screens.

But this summer, fashion has welcomed a new member of the trainer family: the slip-on skater. Vans has teamed up with Kenzo for a second season, producing a comfy, convenient summer shoe with a clouded leopard print in sumptuous shades. Celine, has contributed to the trend, with their own collection of slip-ons which boast a chunkier tread, available in simple block colours and more adventurous prints. Finally, shoe giant Jimmy Choo has added three glittering versions to its rather broad range of sneakers, which are subtle enough for a sparkle in the daytime.

Perfect for lazy summer days and casual, yet fashion-foward looks, all three of the aforementioned skater shoes are now available for purchase.

Celine My Phone Headphone Plug.

Oh Em Gee. The coveted bag is now available in an adorable rubber mini version that plugs into the headphone jack on mobile devices, so you can have a precious piece of Celine dangling from your phone, or iPad…or both.

Kendall Jenner has already succumbed to the cuteness of this tech accessory, which can also be used as deliciously charming key rings.

Just like the original, the Celine my phone comes in a variety of colours on the website, which ships worldwide: celinemyphone.bigcartel.com or if you prefer the Hermes Birkin, that too is available in a shrunken size.

Finally, you can say: “My phone is wayyy more couture than yours”.

The Trails and Tribulations to obtain the “It” bag.

So, the usual story goes: You see the bag, you fall in love with each other, and you couldn’t help but give it a new home, hanging off your arm. But a rather more irritating story is unravelling in front of me, because, you see, the bag I have fallen in love with, the one I want swinging happily on the crook of my elbow, is the Celine phantom bag. The it bag of the season, and incredibly hard to get a hold of because of that, it’s THE it bag.

The phantom is aptly named, for it walks on a fine line between good and evil. It’s good side is given credit for its beauty, its heavenly structure and its glorious hues. Nevertheless, the bag is like a deadly venomous creature. It tantalises and peaks your curiosity as it dangles off the arms of celebrities, and once it’s captured your appreciation, your adoration, it bites, and you do everything you can to get that bag.

Sure it’s just a bag, and most bags, with the exception of the Hermes Birkin, are easy to find. For example, the Chanel classic 2.5 , you walk into a store and a few minutes later you walk out with it. But not with the phantom, oh no, you didn’t really think it would be that easy did you? They sell out within hours of being out on the shop floor, stores in the London area can’t even put you on a waiting list or call you when they get a shipment due to such high demand. So you’ll have to call, every day, hoping a new shipment has arrived, with the colour you so very desire in the size and material you want. It’s like that, that the phantom has put you under it’s soft calfskin (or python) spell.

So I’ll keep calling, and hoping that my perfect phantom will come along, and until then, I’ll have to try to find an anti venom…
