A Hot Vintage Secret

We have a surprise for you all. Fashion Limbo is going to give away something truly special, something we recently found at a vintage store that is simply too cool to remain homeless. Feeling lucky? Watch Fashion Limbo for more details coming up very-very soon.

A clue? it’s two of them 🙂

Easy & Chic Summer

Fearne Cotton strikes again. The BBC Radio 1 DJ and fashion icon wears a LBD in such an effortless way it makes us all run to ditch our summer heels and grab a pair of All Stars. The silver bag and the studded waist-coat add style to a look we must replicate. Do you love Fearne

as much as we do?

Happy Birthday Queen M!

Our Fashion Icon: Diane Kruger

If Fashion Limbo loves any one’s style, that is Diane Kruger‘s. The Inglorious Basterds star has been seen in many a red carpet this summer and on every occasion she has been a lesson in style.

In Hervé Léger, top picture, stunning how the nude colour of her dress combines with her sultry red lips. The wavy hair style complements the look making it very 40s and bang-on trend.

In Chanel, second picture, very classic and boyish. This look is going to be hot this autumn. Straight-legged black trousers, a fitted white shirt, add some suspenders and be the sexiest gentleman in sight.

In Balmain, third picture, a gorgeous LBD that shows off her fantastic legs. Team this kind of number with heels and a clutch, make-up kept to a minimum.

Last but not least, Versace, and the dress is full of sparkle and embellishment, another key trend for this upcoming season. The frock says it all, so hardly accessorise.

We just love her, don’t you?

The Shoe Every Girl Should Have

We have fallen hard, hard and it hurts so much. We are clutching our heart and pouring tears for this exquisite Lady Page shoe from Christian Louboutin. With a silk and velvet trim, topped with a gorgeous velvet bow, we must have them.

How to wear: Team with this upcoming season’s high-waisted pencil skirt, or wide-legged cotton trousers. Wear at work and your colleagues will either love you or hate you, wear with a dark blue and if you dare, green, cocktail dress, or a black ruffle skirt, to club in style.

Upcoming Trend in a Hollywood Set

Glamour UK features this image of Jennifer Aniston on the set of her latest flick. The reason we chose this picture is because she is wearing one of the hottest current and upcoming trends, the high-waisted skirt. Fellow blogger Neslie has already asked us about it, and we must say that we will be buying a few high-waisted pencil skirts ourselves.

It is a very feminine cut, very flattering but remember if you are a tad short, the length of the skirt cannot be too dramatically long. Plus, it will always look better in high heels, elongating your figure.

Where to nab one of these hot skirts? They are going to be everywhere….!!!!

Time to Sunbathe

OK, we have seen this gorgeous picture of Eva Mendes on the Glamour Magazine website and it has made us grab our hotpants, sun cream, hat and shades, and lie on our terrace to catch some rays. The pretty actress looks all summery and natural wearing a girlie white linen dress (big trend this summer), with wedges and a beautiful tan.

Always remember to sunbathe responsibly!!!!

Brunettes Have More Fun

With the new season approaching you may be wanting to give your hair a colour boost, and right now, going brunette is a hot trend around Hollywood starlets. However, Jennifer Connelly, is a natural chocolate girl that always makes us want to ditch any highlighted look. The Balenciaga girl has made her brown locks a household name.

You can go bare-faced in terms of make-up, unlike platinum blondes, but remember to put some colour on your lips to avoid a washed out effect.

Red lips look stunning on brunettes, especially if you go for blue shades. Keep the rest of the face neutral and your hair and lips will stand out fantastically.

If sunbathing, wear a hat, especially if your brunette shades are not natural. The summer sun will lighten your hair, so use a colour wash or a semi-permanent tint to bring back the depth in the colour, but only after your holidays.

Lily Adores Chanel

One of Chanel’s hottest and sassiest fans, Lily Allen is featured in the fashion power house upcoming autumn campaign. Very Chanel, channelling a bit of Audrey Hepburn, Lily is still pure cheekiness.

Is classic Chanel one of your inspirations?

And what about the rumours about Mr Lagerfeld retiring from the brand?
