Fashion's Best Kept Secret

Kurt Geiger, the premium footwear retailer, has launched discount website Shoeaholics.com. The site sells out-of-season stock or slow-moving lines of men's and women's footwear at hugely discounted prices, and theres hundreds to choose from! We love this Eden 2 shoe by Miss KG, originally £65 down to £45. Other shoes and boots have been reduced by hundreds of pounds, get looking now!

Penelope Sizzles in Armani Privé

























Penelope Cruz looked hawt in a Armani Privé Spring 2011 gown at the Pirates of the Caribbean premiere in Germany.
We definitely prefer the long sleeves on Ms. Cruz which gives the dress a wow factor.
And great hair and make up choices. Anything too fussy would have been too much.
Kudos Penelope!

Balenciaga Giant Town Bag

If you ever want to invest in an amazing designer bag, Balenciaga is always a good option! This timeless design will never out- date and the leather gets better with age the more you use it. The handy mirror and personal number id inside are nice features, we love this colour which goes with anything but is a fun alternative to black!

The F Word Hayley's 8 Question Interview!



Are there any new labels you've discovered recently?
Robbi & Nikki is a great new label thats recently just come into Harrods. They do some amazing stuff! I just bought this top which has a sexy egyptian feel to it and looks so good with tight skinny jeans.

What are you favourite jean brands?
I'm a size nine in jeans so it makes it really difficult to find any that fit in the high street stores, so saving up for these is essential! My two favourite are Current/Elliot and J Brand. My favourite have to be my black J Brand Doll Jeans.

Who in fashion inspires you right now?
Nicki Minaj of course! Her style is so crazy and i'd love to be able to pull off those amazing wigs.
What are your makeup essentials?
I've always used Chanel's liquid eyeliner because it glides on so easily and doesn't crumble off like others do. I love MAC's lipstick in 'please me' which is a deeper shade of pink and also my Shavata eyebrow kit which creates the most sexy, bold eyebrows! Something I recently bought was Bobbi Brown's new skin foundation, love it!

What are your most treasured possessions in your wardrobe?
My Thomas Wylde swavorski crystal skull dress is just amazing and my very rare Christian Louboutin shiny black boots and Giles Deacon for Mulberry bag are incredible to own, it's nice to have a few exclusive pieces in your wardrobe. I love my Topshop skinny jeans aswell, if those ripped it would be such a bad day!

Do you believe in following trends?
Not at all! I just buy what I like, as long as i'm happy with what i'm wearing i don't see what the problem is!

Whats your favourite store?
I absolutely love Sephora, but it's not in the UK which is such a shame, theres nothing like it here! For the high street i go to American Apparel for basics, but i'll usually save my money to buy more exclusive pieces. Harrods is such an experience, i could spend the whole day there!

What hair products do you use?
I will either wash my hair in frederic fekkai or L'Oreal colour protect, smells so fruity. Aveda hairsprays are great too and hold your hair in place for hours.

From Runway to Reality: Kim Kardashian in Burberry

























Kim Kardashian looked hot in this Burberry tudded sleeve bonded twill trench coat worth $4,495 2,807.98). The trench coat is part of Burberry's spring 2011 collection. Even though the Kardashian rocked the coat, we love the clean cut lines Burberry exhibited at their fashion show.
Either way, we want!

The F Word Hayley's Favourite Foundation




Iv'e tried many foundations but this has to be my personal favourite. The light weight formula doesn't block up pores, but still gives full coverage. I like to mix the foundation with Giorgio Armani's 'fluid sheer' (top photo) which gives a great radiance boost and defines cheekbones like nothing else. The foundation comes in 14 different shades and the fluid sheer in 8, which has also been voted a best beauty buy for 2011. Check out http://www.giorgioarmanibeauty.co.uk/

Our Favourite Paris Haute Couture Shows: Christian Dior




To be honest, we haven't been amazed by a Christian Dior show for a quite a
time. However, the S/S 2011 couture show exceeded all our expections and
confirmed the greatness that John Galliano is capable of.
Taking inspiration from the illustrations by René Gruau, an artist who became famous in the 1900s, John Galliano brought these drawings to life in his decadent interpretations.
Truly beautiful.

Check out the breath-taking show below:

Our Favourite Paris Haute Couture Shows: Elie Saab





If there was one word to sum up Elie Saab, consistency would probably be it. Season after season the collections that Elie Saab has brought out have wowed us. The intricacy on every piece really shone through this season. A fresh pastel colour palette ushers in spring; perfect for the awards season.
Expect to see some of these amazing gowns on the red carpet.

Our Favourite Paris Haute Couture Shows: Zuhair Murad











Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad presented his Spring/Summer 2011 couture collection during Paris’ Fashion week at the Ritz Hotel. A collection that totally blew us away! A perfect mix of embellishment and luxury fabrics shows us a modern take on Middle Eastern glamour.
Zuhair Murad has done it again!
