Jessica Biel is not only a great actress, but also one of the most desired female celebrities on the planet; no wonder it has been rumoured that Jessica and her on-off boyfriend Justin Timberlake have recently rekindled their love. Sadly we cannot help you land a Justin-lookalike of your own, but we can, however, give you the secrets behind Jessica’s hot look and how to get it for yourself.

Part of Jess’s appeal is her girl-next-door looks; although she can vamp it up with the best of them, she also knows how to work her natural beauty. A typical daytime look for Jessica consists of minimal make-up, but expertly applied; the trick here is to use the make-up to enhance your natural looks, rather than using it as a mask. Eye-shadows should revolve around warm tones and focus on green and brown shades; these colours look great on Jess’s hazel eyes and would suit darker brown, and green eyes also. If you have blue eyes then you can make them really pop by adding a subtle touch of a sandy-coloured shimmer; if you eyes are greyer, then a subtle palette of blues will work best for you. The hair is a key factor in getting Jessica’s low-key sophisticated look just right. The hair should look healthy and never over-done. Her go-to look is a centre-parting with a loose wave; just lightly tong your hair with a large-barrelled styling wand.

Skin should look fresh and healthy; Jessica is lady who takes her workouts very seriously and not only does she have a great body, but her skin glows with health. You can recreate the same look by following a strict routine of cleansing, toning and moisturising and eating plenty of fresh fruit and veg; of course if it is the body you also want then I am afraid you will just have to get yourself moving and work for it. Jess is rumoured to workout at least five times a week and favours high-intensity training to get her lean and toned look.

Since the actress Emma Watson appeared on the big screen at the age of nine, playing Hermione Granger in the first Harry Potter movie, she has blossomed from a slightly geeky-looking kid into the elegant and stylish young lady she is today. She is nowadays as much admired for her sense of fashion as her acting skills and many teenage girls and young women would, understandably, love to look like Emma Watson.

Emma knows when it’s appropriate to dress down and when to dress up and always looks stylish, without appearing either too young or too old for her age. Her favorite daytime, casual look is to go for a preppy uniform of skinny jeans paired with ballet pumps, whilst on top she likes to wear vintage blazers or retro trench coats. She often goes for monochrome or pastels and never overdoes the makeup, always managing to achieve a natural look. Emma keeps her daytime bling to a minimum, maybe wearing a few simple bangles. Her hair is always clean and shiny and, when she wore it long, it was more often than not swept back into a ponytail.

For red carpet affairs, Emma really knows how to glam it up! Her look is usually effortlessly feminine but sometimes vampish. She still loves her monochrome palette but sometimes surprises us with a splash of jewel-like color. Emma’s new pixie-style cropped hair really accentuates her elfin face and she has learnt to apply just the right amount of makeup, without overdoing it. She picks just the perfect accessories, such as clutch purses and shoes that set off her outfits and her jewelry is always understated.

The magic of Emma Watson’s look? She always dresses her age, has learnt what suits her and, no matter what she’s wearing, always appears effortlessly well-groomed.

The name Jimmy Choo is synonymous with stunning, hand-made shoes. Born in Malaysia into a family of shoemakers, it was perhaps always to be his destiny to go into the footwear game, but who could possibly have known that from such humble beginnings, his name would become so iconic and his exquisite women’s shoes so coveted? It is said that Jimmy made his first pair of shoes when he was just eleven years old. He studied at the Cordwainers College in London and after graduation, opened his first workshop in Hackney in 1986. The renowned fashion magazine, Vogue can be said to have helped launch his meteoric rise to success when, in 1988, they featured an eight page spread of his shoes and soon after, Diana, Princess of Wales was buying his wares! In 1996, the company Jimmy Choo Ltd. was founded, a joint venture between himself and Tamara Mellon of UK Vogue magazine.

Jimmy Choo’s signature style is to design shoes that are elegant and feminine, high fashion, yet comfortable to wear. From knee length boots to slip-on mules and skyscraper knockout heels, his footwear can be seen adorning the feet of celebrities worldwide. Always elegant, always stylish and always made from the highest quality materials such as leather, silks and satins and with the utmost attention to detail, it is easy to see why these shoes have a price tag to match their heel height! Nowadays, there are also Jimmy Choo shoes for men, made with the same care and quality, as well as a range of Jimmy Choo purses and accessories.

In 2003, Jimmy Choo was awarded an OBE by the Queen, in recognition of his services to the UK fashion industry. Jimmy once said in an interview that he falls in love with his shoes. He’s not the only one!

Being a beautiful woman, and a famous and successful actress, Anne Hathaway suffers from the same insecurities as most beautiful women – “I think I’ve got really weird features…. “, she said in an interview in the March issue of InStyle magazine. Anne goes on to say she is not too happy with her looks – looks with which the average American woman would love to have been blessed!

Anne really takes pride in the way she looks and dresses. How could a woman emulate her natural, signature look, and beautiful sense of style? Style-watchers describe her as favoring mostly clean, classic outfits with bold colors and carefully chosen jewelry and trimmings. She is fast becoming one of American society’s favorite fashion icons.

Keep an eye out for old fashioned or vintage clothing that looks ‘boring’ and plain. Spice up the clothing with exciting, colorful accessories. Start favoring colors such as electric blue, fire engine red, awesome orange. Bright colors stand out on simple, plain black. Choose dresses with just the right balance of contrasting colors to obtain a flirtatious look. Look closely at dresses that are short – similar to an afternoon tea-party style for those competitive black tie evening events. Blouses or dresses with unusual necklines are always an everlasting favorite. If the outfit itself has one or two unique features, make sure the accessories are minimal so as not to overpower the overall effect.

Anne Hathaway’s make up is of course always perfect: keep the foundation neutral, eye color must be soft and natural but with loads of mascara and of course lots of bold red lipstick – et voila! Anne Hathaway herself could not fail to notice an interestingly similar look to hers with a knowing smile! As she says, “I like people who are true to themselves,”.

Nails of the moment are becoming as much of a fashion statement as an outrageous hairstyle! For the first time in New York fashion week history, the Shellac & Fashion Fusion runway show caused quite a stir. Comments like “…it’s a dip into the outrageous without being over the top…” abounded. The houses of Prada, China Glaze and Sally Hansen were all there.

Some of the colors and patterns previewed for this spring and summer are so daring – for example, a whole set of technical-savvy nails literally at your fingertips!

Moon manicures – retro and unusual, a white base color, then a rounded tip of French black à la French Foreign Legion! The moon area next to the cuticle is also black. Nail art pens needed for this if a steady hand cannot be kept.

Metallic and Gold Foil – a flash of heavy metal with a dash of grit dating back to the 1960’s rock ‘n roll! Try mixing Silver Chrome, Putty and Ice Blue Shimmer. Then use Gold polish deliberately “chipped” for the true dashed metal shine – apply with chunks of polish using tweezers.

Pop Art Graphics & Neutrals – creative use of patterns play with polka dots, checks and stripes in any contrasting or non-matching colors – anything goes. Pale pink and white now used to create pretty candy stripes with white. Bold electric blue made an appearance, and try out opaque nail pens! Another first is pale beige with a thin strip of orange between nail tip and the nail bed – very smart looking.

Lastly, get this, in honor of the British Royal wedding, Katy Perry had some customized nail art of Kate and William made, well mainly of William! The mind just boggles with what can be done…

Reports are rolling in of the long-term damage almost certainly caused by the currently fashionable sky-high ladies shoes. Obviously fashion is priceless as no one appears to be worrying too much about future bodily damage as sales for these potentially damaging shoes with high stiletto heels continue to soar! According to consultant podiatric surgeon Mike O’Neill, spokesman for the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists, “High heels make you raise your heel and as soon as you do that your center of gravity is (unnaturally) pushed forward.”

The problem with most young adults today is that they do not realize the long term harm they are causing to their feet. They blindly follow a hedonistic lifestyle to the detriment of their health. In addition, as these shoes become more popular with newer younger generations, they are being worn for longer hours – worn all day at work, worn all night at nightclubs and worn far too long to stand around and have a chat, and then finally, to dance! No wonder when teenagers are fetched from nightclubs shoes in hand, moaning “My feet are killing me…” No prizes for guessing why they are being dubbed ‘killer heels’.

Research carried out recently suggests that women are starting to suffer from the inevitable problems of hammer toes, bunions and permanent injury to tendons in the legs. Naturally, it is obvious that the higher the heel, the greater the pressure; and the greater the possibility of damage to the back and knees in later life. These problems do not occur at odd times in later life, they all converge on the person at one and the same time! Horror of horrors – remember to keep a wheelchair handy.

How high a price do you actually want to pay for fashion?

Amanda Seyfried is the beautiful star of many Hollywood films and TV shows and it is no wonder that so many young women look up to her and would like to be like her. Amanda has graced some of the top fashion magazines and is the epitome of the all American girl next door. If you want to dress and look like Amanda Seyfried then the following tips should help you.

• Amanda has long blonde flowing locks which look healthy and shiny. To make sure your hair is kept in pristine condition, you should shampoo and condition it regularly. There are other products that you can use which will give your hair a deep condition and these should be used on a weekly basis.

• Try to keep your makeup natural if you want to look like Amanda. Amanda prefers the natural look and the best way to achieve this look is to use makeup that complements your skin tones. Do not choose colours which are too bright. Neutral eye shadows and lip colours such as beige, peach and light brown work best for a natural look.

• Amanda has a beautiful figure which is not too thin. She achieves her slim figure by eating right and working out. If you want to have a great figure then you should make sure to eat a well balanced diet and to exercise regularly. Even a twenty minute walk every day combined with a healthy eating program will work wonders.

• Try to choose clothes that suit your frame. Choose clothes that you are comfortable in and which you know look well on you. You do not always have to choose the items that you see in the fashion magazines especially if they are not going to suit your body type.

The iconic era of the 70s has returned to catwalks and style guides across the world this summer and has been passed onto the high streets and online retailers. This summer’s direction has been taken from the likes of Marc Jacobs, Rebecca Taylor and Tracy Reese who have all taken inspiration from the styles first created back in the 70s from forward thinking stylists much like themselves.

The denim trends of the 70s are especially in demand as they begin to hit the streets in the form of high waisted denim shorts and trousers, likely to only appeal to small audience but definitely a style critics say will be big this summer regardless of whether you love it or hate it.

Fun summery dresses inspired by the 70s will also play an integral role in recreating the glam rock look ideal for festivals and summery days. Another 70s favourite which is coming back big this summer is jumpsuits, although not likely to be everybody’s preferred style it will definitely bring back strong visions of the 70s era.

The 70s styled dresses and jumpsuits can be combined with other hot summer trends by wearing them in either floral prints or block colours to maximise the full on-trend summer 2011 look.

However if you’re in doubt on how to get the full 70s look or what to mix the best and safest option will always be our trusty friend – denim! Synonymous with the 70s but by no means a stranger in any of the other decades. To complete the denim 70s look either go for flared or wide-leg style in the customary high waisted jeans.

Kim Kardashian arrived on the social scene amidst a great deal of controversy with her sex video and her nude photos. However, she has since then made a name for herself as a sultry temptress with flesh revealing outfits and flashy jewellery. Her attire and accessories are wonderful compliments to her already flawless, dark toned skin and her make-up accentuates her natural beauty.

For many women Kim Kardashian has become a role-model. She is somebody who personifies glamour and beauty to everyday women all over the world. Her influence is so strong that women are now emulating her stylish dress sense and her sultry looks.

How to dress and look like Kim Kardashian? Kim’s first secret is that she knows that she’s beautiful and sexy. She’s comfortable with the way her body presents itself to the world and she doesn’t mind flaunting her considerable assets. Her look and dress is ‘out there’ and definitely not for shrinking violets.

Kim chooses clothes from fashion lines such as Alex, Gaines, Chloe and Anna Sui. She also runs these lines in her fashion store, Dash. Her clothes are usually figure hugging with considerable cleavage showing. To have the same style, you will need to make sure that you have either the original garments from designers such as Alex etc. or decent knock-offs.

To get her look, you need to make sure that you have perfectly shaped eyebrows and well-cared for hands and feet – especially the nails. This will mean regular visits to the beauty salon. Her luscious, black hair will also be possible with hair extensions, hair colour and lots of attention.

No matter what she looks like, Kim knows who she is and has not lost her own sense of style to prescriptions of others. Make sure you don’t either. The best sense of style comes from your own, natural look and temperament. As long as you know that you’re beautiful in your own right, you will be beautiful. Experiment with a famous look and style, but ultimately you need to be true to yourself.

I wanted to share footage of the DKNY show from this weekend. Donna Karan’s DKNY fall line is inspired by the streets of New York City. Black is centerpiece of Karan’s runway looks this season, as well as versatile pieces you can wear to work or for a night out on the town.
