Hello Sunshine…

At the Critics’ Choice Awards gorgeous shades of vivid yellow were the real winners of the day.

All with sweet yellow accents – Diane Kruger in Prada; Elle Fanning in Rodarte; Elizabeth Olsen in Emilio Pucci; and Ahna O’Reilly in Honor –brightened the red carpet like little rays of sunshine.

And for Spring / Summer 2012 yellow is here to stay. In fact, it is one of the key power players. Perfect in little doses – accentuating your look with a picture perfect yellow clutch (see below) or why not unlock a high impact vault of sunlight with head-to-toe yellow.  

Some Friday Sunshine Inspiration…

Will you add a little ray of sunshine to your wardrobe? xx

Dazzling Devine Headbands

Embrace beading, feathers, lace & all things opulently sparkly, for the perfect hair moment this festive season.

Headbands are a no-fail option when your hair just won’t behave. They add instant glamour to a casual outfit and look positively  gorgeous with a cocktail dress or evening gown. Headbands with bows, embellishments and in every shape and colour imaginable play off beautiful dresses, handbags and shoes to perfection.

1920’s Flapper Chic – Elizabeth Olsen’s Gatsby Indulgence
With the 1920’s Gatsby trend in full swing, Elizabeth Olsen’s ‘flapper’ inspired headband is quite simply put… exquisite! Worn loosely around the head and angled slightly forward, the sparkly knot band adds a delightfully playful, chic dimension to her red carpet look.

Classic, Sweet Simplicity – Lily Collins’ Darling Band
I also adore Lily Collins sweet placement of her headband, pictured below left. Placing a modern twist on Audrey Hepburn’s iconic Breakfast At Tiffany’s up-do; Collin’s simple thin black band is classically elegant.
