Ever wanted to get an insight on the most stylish star’s beauty secrets?  Well you have definitely come to the right place.

Hot fashions are almost always finished with a hot make-up trend.  This is why it is important to get to grips with whats on trend and also what make-up styles go with your hair, eye and skin colour.

It is no good wearing a catwalk look if it doesn’t suit your style!  After all being super stylish is also about being super confident and wearing a look that you feel happy to carry off!

Wearing something that doesn’t suit you, isn’t what you normally would wear and all in all a little over the top is a sure way to create a look that not only isn’t you but isn’t on trend for the new season!

Take a few style tips from your favourite A-list stars.  However look to stars that resemble the same features as yourself, otherwise you will end up creating an alien look that quite simply won’t suit your assets!

Olivia Palermo is one such star that always seems to look completely polished.  She says her beauty must-haves include the exciting new range of Topshop make-up, especially their blushes and lip shades.  her favourites include the liquid blush and the lips in Mink!

Another stylish star that always appears to have perfectly shiny locks is the singer and songstress Jessie J.  Her uber luscious locks are helped along with carefully applied conditioning treatments.  She also claims to use brunette enhancing shampoo in order to keep that shine in shape and looking luscious for the many shows she attends!

What has happened this season that has truly inspired us, made us stand up and take note or simply looked damn good?  Well the answer to the above question is in fact an assortment of things.

Well firstly the singer Amy Winehouse, who unfortunately passed away only a few weeks ago!  The nation was certainly hit hard by such an unexpected event and the fans that stood outside her house in London to show their respects was immense.  This is truly a sad ordeal and a tale of the little girl with the big voice.  her music however will continue to live on forever and her record sales in fact shot up after the news hit.

As well as her singing talent, Amy held some pretty impressive fashion sense.  Her eyeliner traits were one detail that have been cavorted by the likes of infamous designers and fashionista’s worldwide.

Her beehive was another thing that by no means went un-noticed and many model, stylish individuals, TV presenters and celebs copied the look.  None however could quite create the impact that Amy did.

Her eclectic dress sense, make-up style and hair were three of the things that made her who she was.  Her voice however was the thing that really made her an icon and to have lost such a talent is extremely sad indeed.

Try cavorting some of the style queens looks, backcomb the hair to the max, don the catlike eyes and go to the ballet pumps.  We don’t recommend you try and attempt the singing however, we’re not sure anyone could match up to Amy!

With winter approaching, you may have noticed that many high street stores have suddenly replenished their stocks of winter boots. Gone are the prominent displays of sandals and slip ons that defined summer shoe wear – instead you can find a wide range of ankle, calf and even thigh length boots designed to keep your legs warm and stop you from struggling in ice and snow this winter. To help you wade through all the different varieties of boots out there, here is a quick rundown of the 5 best pairs of winter boots available online.

Work boots have become very popular over the past year, giving your outfit a casual grungy look without sacrificing style. Work boots are very comfortable but also look fashionable, and can even be combined with a glamorous outfit for a night out. Top of our list are the Jane Leather Worker Boots by CAT, a reliable producer of sturdy boots for both men and women. Fur lined, these boots will keep you comfy and cosy all winter, and are available for £100 from online retailer Very.

Speaking of furry, fluffy boots, Skechers’ Snow Day ankle height boots will definitely keep your toes from freezing. They even take advantage of Skecher’s popular tone up technology – the sole of the boot is designed in a special way that means you are exerting more force and therefore burning more calories when you walk in them. For £85 at K & Co, these boots will see you through the winter.

Biker boots are another popular style this year, in shades of black or faded grey, to give your outfit a little bit of attitude. Buckles and chains over a leather finish complete the biker chick look. We love these ankle boots from Ellos at www.ellos.co.uk, which come in black or tan and are a steal at just £45.

A little more masculine than the pointed toe of the Ellos boot, these buckle boots from designer Distressed can be found at Joe Browns for just £39.95. These boots combine the biker and work boot styles, with buckles around the back and laces criss crossing the front. Great for festivals and gigs, or just for walking through cold conditions this winter.

Although summer is over, one of its most popular footwear trends has carried over to many winter boots – the wedge heel. This sturdy heel will actually work well in winter in snow or ice because unlike other types of heel, the wedge gives a lot of support to your feet. Our favourites are the South Dinah Shearling wedge boots, £50.00 from Littlewoods, which combine the fur lining and insulation of traditional winter boots with the fashionable wedge heel.

Big news just in is great news for Coach fans in the UK.  The major fashion brand are set to open the doors of a new store, but this time on our very own shores!

The American accessory brand are said to be opening the all-new store in London very soon!  Any fans that wish to pay the store a visit will have to take a trip down to London.

The store is said to take up 3,000 square foot and will stock an array of uber chic accessories.  These will include the likes of handbags, purses, totes, travel accessories and luggage, shoes and also mens accessories.

This is great news for those that love to try before they buy as no longer will they have to order online or visit another country.

The much anticipated store will feature two entrances, one designed for girl’s and one for guy’s!

We guarantee this particular venue to be pretty busy!  This is possibly why the accessory giant have also designed to reveal a second store.  The second addition is set to open up on the infamous Bond Street, in the place of the former Mulberry store!

Coach has been established for a series of years now and in fact started up as a family run shop in America.  The family consisted of six artisans, who were experts in handcrafting leather goods.  Each of the designers handed down their skills to other members of the family from generation to generation!

Consumers world wide have shown their appreciation for the label by continuing to purchase their quality goods.
