GLITTER LIPS

Add lip balm to your lips. Then with a sharp, deep pink liner edge the lips, following the natural shape of the mouth.

Take your favourite shade of red or pink lipstick and fill in.

Add clear lip gloss and dab over the top.

With a small brush or your ring finger stipple red glitter densely onto the lips.

To create a 3D look, pout in the mirror and add fuchsia glitter to the centre of your lips. Get ready to sparkle!

CHRISTMAS AT CLARIDGES

Each year, the legendary Mayfair hotel  Claridges invites one global fashion brand to design an extravagant Christmas tree to light up its pristine art deco lobby, and this year is the turn of fellow iconic British brand, Burberry.


While the hotel slept, Burberry’s elves sprung into action piecing together the elaborate design through the night so that guests were greeted by a breath-taking moment of festive magic when they came down to start their day.


Playing on its longstanding association with the changeable British weather, Burberry’s chief creative and chief executive officer, Christopher Bailey, dreamed up a giant mirrored, metallic umbrella tree stretching up to the first floor.

One hundred gold and silver umbrellas interlock to form the towering six metre structure, which bounces light all around the lobby like a giant glitterball. But the finishing touch comes courtesy of over 77,000 motion reactive lights which follow guests as they descend the staircase and give the illusion of sparkling raindrops falling down the tree.

This is the sixth year Claridge’s has invited a fashionable guest to put their mark on its festive decorations. Previous collaborators include Lanvin’s Alber Elbaz, John Galliano and Italian design duo Dolce and Gabbana, who returned for a second time in 2014.

Its unveiling has come to symbolise the start of Christmas in London W1 as much as the switching on of Oxford Street’s lights, and draws visitors from across the city and around the globe.


“It is so wonderful to see the tree in such an incredible setting as part of Claridge’s seasonal celebrations,” Christopher Bailey said, “I hope that it helps to bring guests a sense of festive fun.”

TRASPARENZE

 
£21.00 at tightsplease.co.uk

One of the stars of the AW15 catwalk shows, crochet net is emerging as a must-have fashion trend for the season. In typical Tightsplease fashion, we have just the way to make your market on the popular trend, with a pair of the beautiful Acquamarina Tights, which arrived from fashion favourites Trasparenze.

You can always rely on Italian brand Trasparenze to be at the forefront of fashion, and these stylish woven tights are no exception. From the waistband, you’ll find a multitude of vertical stripes that descend down the leg and benefit from a tantalising crochet effect. Revealing some skin and bring some all important texture to all of your outfits, the crochet effect will leave your legs looking bang-on trend and provide the perfect solution to your classic net hosiery. Made from a woollen blend for a snug warming feeling, the tights are made in three chic colours, all of which are perfect for boosting your fashion capital across the autumn and winter months.

Forget your grannies cardigans, crochet net is a must-have this season, which is why owning a pair of these is a must. They couldn’t be easier to style either; the trick is to leave your legs the main focal point of your outfit, teaming with simple winter ensembles such as jumper dresses and cable knit sweaters. Step into a pair of ankle or knee length boots to complete a chic layered look. But if you’d like to wear these crochet charmers in the evening, dig out a skater dress and heeled ankle boots for an alternative take on evening glamour.

As the netted effect runs sheer to waist, you don’t have to be concerned about any brief material from showing through. For fans of boots, the reinforced toe means protects the fragile part of your tights from any damage, keeping them looking their beat season after season. Comfortable too owing to a stretchy waistband, these tights represent the perfect marriage between fashion and function
