First up we have spotted a great sports style jacket from the designer Nick Pinnicle.  This particular jacket has an eighties edge to it! It boasts a contemporary mix of denim and PVC.  The jacket is available from nikesportswear.com.  Those that wish to invest in such a look can work towards pulling of this season’s casual lux style.  Sports attire is making a big statement in the fashion world and designers are beginning to look at such a style in a different way.

Trainers are no longer shoes quite simply worn on your off days or to actual sporting events, they are instead worn to a variety of high-fashion occasions.  This season’s trainers have come in the shape of high top wedges, perfect with skinnies and a statement tee or lux style knit jumper.

If you invest in the above, you will of course need a pair of snazzy shades to finish your style!

Check out any one of the major shoe boutiques in order to gain a little style inspiration.

Be an American beauty in a pair of retro cool sunglasses.  The ones we have in mind come in the shape of a vivid mix of hues.  The Prada sunnies have in fact been inspired by hot rod cars and are available from David Clulow.

Another must-have investment is a vivid nail hue!  Create retro, quirky nails in a pretty intense turquoise shade.  This is most certainly a subtle nod to the aquatic theme this season.

Check out the other shades in the range at feel unique online.

If you are feeling extra brave, step out in a pair of vivid hued neon heels.  These heels most definitely embody this season’s heroine…ladylike with a twist and most importantly, well heeled!

This season we are entering into a new age; this is the age of cosmetic equality.

No longer do make-up brands quite simple cater for one skin tone, they instead house an assortment of shades, each tailored to a different individual.

The likes of Bobbi Brown, Mac and NARs are just a few of the iconic make-up brands that have pushed their shades further.  Those with very fair, medium, tanned, golden and dark skin are all able to find the perfect match.

As well as Barbie pink shades and cutesy pale hues, make-up now also offers deep rich shades!

Once upon a time, prestigious make-up artists would have to mix foundations themselves in order to come up with a true match.  This is no longer the case and there are a variety of times, textures and shades available now!

Those that wish to achieve a flawless finish can in fact invest in a an airbrush tool!  This is the make-up artist’s dream!  It applies a flawless and untouchable finish to any skin, perfect for photo shoots and high fashion shows.  It also means less work for the graphic artist when it comes to retouching!

Make-up is all about enhancing what we already have as appose to hiding our features.  Some girl’s make the mistake of caking foundation, eye shadow, blusher and lipshine on.  This results in a heavy look that certainly doesn’t look natural or flawless.

If you are unsure about how to apply your make-up, invest in the help of an expert.  Many beauty counters will offer a makeover to those interested in their products,  They will also show you what suits your shade and also how to wear the products in question

This may be due to a heavy workload, staying back and doing a little overtime in the office, a hectic home life or having to tend to the kids as soon as you get in!

All of the above leaves us little time to actually sit down, never mind perform a full beauty regime.

There is however products available that boast to refresh and revitalise our skin in moments, giving it that desirable and youthful glow.

Many of these products come in the shape of facial scrubs, cleansers, toners, facemasks, tonics and creams.  In order to decide on the right products for you, you should first begin by considering your exact skin type,

For example, do you have dry skin?  If this is the case you will need a formula that tackles this dry area and one that boasts to create a smooth and soft complexion.

If you however suffer from oily skin, you will need a formula that boasts to tackle the oil and one that reveals a matte complexion.

Then there are those that have combination skin.  These individuals will need to find something that tackles both of the above problems.

Once you have find your perfect product, you will then need to make sure you use it both in the morning when you wake up and again before you go to bed, a good tip is to wash your face when you get in.  This will have the effect of taking all the dirt and grime away.

Late nights are inevitable, especially if we have a heavy workload, a party to attend or a few good friends to catch up with.  These late nights often show up in our eyes the next day, this being the tell tale sign.  There is however a way to conquer this!

The skin around the eyes is extremely delicate and a few late nights can cause fine lines, bags and the skin can appear deflated.

The skin is also very fine around this delicate area, which is why it is important to choose the correct skin care regime.  Heavy creams can accelerate the slackness here, as they will apply too much pressure.

Air light eye gels are however a better option and will instead work to fix the signs of tiredness without damaging the skin around this area.

All of the above products are a must-have if you wish to keep up a great beauty regime.  They are also a great way to keep both signs of age and tiredness at bay.

The first thing that lets on that we have had a later and restless night is our eyes.  They will either appear red and angry or alternatively baggy and shadowed with dark circles.

If you wish to invest in any of the above products, you will be able to do so either online or at any department store stocking such brands.

There are so many similar products on the market and the only way to really see which ones work for you is to try and test them.  Every one is after all different, and what may work wonders for one person won’t actually do anything for another.

Reviews are also a great way to check out the products you wish to try prior to actually purchasing them, as these tend to come from a variety of different people, each with a different skin tone.

So if you want to look ‘so totally now’, ‘bang on trend’ and ‘a la mode’ then all you need is a collar!

This can be in the form of a desperate neckpiece that attaches to a variety of outfits, a white collar underneath

Collars, collars and more collars!  That’s exactly what we are seeing on the runways this season!

So if you want to look ‘so totally now’, ‘bang on trend’ and ‘a la mode’ then all you need is a collar!

This can be in the form of a desperate neck piece that attaches to a variety of outfits, a white collar underneath a smart black dress or jumper, an ultra vivid shirt under a muted tee or top and an almost outrageously hot blue collar splashed on an exotic print dress!

Fashion is mad at the best if times and yes, this season all you have to do to be fashionable is invest in a collar!

Designers left right and centre are producing collars faster than we can note down this season’s fashion forecasts!

Log onto your online designers boutiques and here you will find a selection of cracked leather versions, cotton poplin style collars, silk crepe styles and pearl style collar necklaces!

Prices range from as little as £14 to £140!!

Collars are a great way to add an extra something to an otherwise plain outfit.  If you are rocking a casual tee but intend to head out later in the evening, a dressier collar is the perfect addition to your look.

If you wish to create a high fashion look, wear the collar with a dress.  This detached look screams over the top.  It also rebels from the norm and creates a catwalk trend.

Whether we choose to give that special piece of jewellery to a gift to someone we love or wear it ourselves, Pandora’s all-new birth stone rings are a great way to create a happy memory for either a loved one or yourself.

Each ring means something different.  Each style is created in sterling silver and houses a cabochon gem complete with its own special meaning.

Lets start from the top.  January is created in garnet and means safety, travel and love.  February comes as amethyst and issues the message of security and sincerity.  Peridot is for August and symbolises luck, fortune and friendship, whilst December comes in the form of turquoise and issues friendship, health and also luck.

Whether you wear them alone or choose to mix and match them in order to create a colourful statement, these make great gifts for both yourself and a loved one.

Prices start from as little as £40.

Each ring can be sourced from the Pandora jewellery store.  If you are looking for a thoughtful present for someone or just fancy treating yourself, look no further than these gorgeously colourful rings.  They are certainly a great style to invest in for spring as they boast to brighten up your current wardrobe in no time!  Which one will you choose first?

They are delicate enough to be worn alone or in the masses.  Wear one or all of the range, and be sure to remind any loved ones of them, especially if you have a birthday coming up!

Bold red lips, dramatic eyeliner flicks in a variety of hues and heavy brows are proving to be a hit on next season’s autumn and winter runways.

The London and New York shows have already provided us with an assortment of hot make-up trends to look forward to.

Marc Jacob, Donna Karan and Rodarte are just a few of the designers to keep an eye on.  Rodarte’s models were seen sporting over-bronzed cheeks, whilst Marc Jacob opted to don his fashion clad in grungy lined eyes.  Donna Karan chose a more subtle fashion route and models were seen sport feminine and chic, pretty manicured nails.

Backstage at the fashion shows is a great place to be, especially for the models.  They are after all the ones that get to see the new trends emerge direct from the make-up artist’s chairs!

Bright eyes were certainly a big hit this season and the majority came in a peacock shade, this vibrant colour really works to add an instant ‘wow’ factor effect to any look.

The vivid coloured palette was definitely most prominent in New York and model’s boasted big blue eyes and sleek, shiny locks.  The end result…a truly dramatic look!  Perfect for a night on the tiles or a glamorous dinner date.

The look was finished off with a twist.  Classic eyeliner has certainly taken on a new spin for 2013.  Such eyeliner will looks will add a sultry spin to any make-up style!

This season’s eyeliner looks include a double swish as appose to the standard single flick of 2012.  The best way to achieve this look is to use a very high tech eyeliner pen.

The thinner the pen, the more accurate the flick.  Opt for a quick drying eyeliner product to avoid any unwanted smudging around the eyes.

Not all of us are lucky enough to actually attend the new season shows; this is why reading up on the style reports allows us to keep in the know!

So what’s hot and what certainly is not for 2012?  The low rise and skin tight jeans of past season are just that and in the past!  These have instead been replaced with wide leg pants and flared jeans that are in fact popular with both sexes.

Another style to check out is this season’s 360 degrees clothing styles.  The designers have taken this opportunity to dress up the back of their designs as much as the front!  This in turn means you can buy into a style that offers different contours and drapes, which in turn produces a 3D look.

Accessories are always going to be big as they play a key part in dressing an otherwise subtle outfit up!  This season’s accessories are appearing in organic colours, vintage is also still hot right now!  So if you are lucky enough to raid your Grandmas trinket box, then look into getting your hands on stylish necklaces and brooches.

Loose any metallic accessories as these are definitely not making a comeback this season and designers and fashion gurus are already creating new looks for next year!

Don’t however discard all of your 2011 garments just yet as you can still style these for 2012.  Simply make sure you are innovative with your existing clobber.

You don’t have to spend a huge amount in order to be fashionable. Simply be clever about it and you too can look just as good as the A-list celebs.

One thing that will be a gift for both of you is a silk-satin chemise.  This sexy little number will make you look and feel great and will get you all of the attention you desire!

The silk-satin chemise from the infamous designer Stella McCartney is a great shout and is available from Net-a-Porter.com.

Another fashion must-have comes in the shape of a cutesy jewellery box.  You never know what you may get from your man this Valentine’s Day and if it is jewellery, you will need somewhere to keep it!  A great shout is the Lapis jewellery box from Smythson.  The jewellery box houses a compartment for every trinket.

The accessory of a season is definitely a felt hat.  Emma Fielden has a great little red number, which is available from £220 and is the perfect colour for the winter season.

If you have an evening of fine dining planned for the event, then you will need to invest in a pretty outfit for the occasion!  Opt for something that is demure and flattering, rather than something that is a little too dressy.  A great outfit for a fine dining establishment is a cutesy elegant shirt, team with equally elegant trouser and heels or a block coloured skirt.

A tulle blouse from ‘by Alice by Temperley’ is a great option for such an event and the black embroidered print on the sheer white shirt works well to create a very high class look!

Add a little bling to the look with a few pieces of simple silver jewellery and will be turning more heads than you expect!  All of the above are available both online and at your local department store.

Sadly as we contemplate our navels, trying to ignore the expanding belly, baggy red eyes and sallow skin, we know its time to change.

Yet is it the right time?  The information we are about to give you may make you put that New Year diet resolution on hold.

Doctors say it isn’t the right time to diet, as losing weight in January may be harmful rather than benificial.

Morosely staring at the overflowing recycling bottle bin, you may be wondering ‘how can this be?’  Dr. Mark Wright consultant herpetologist at Southampton general hospital said ‘Detoxing for a month is futile’.  If you think you are helping that abused liver by going on a detox for a month, then think again.  People then assume they can drink as much as they want after this detox and for the rest of the year.  This action will however just put your body back into shock.

It would instead work much better if you cut out a few days drinking each week throughout the year rather than a whole month of no drinking.

Just as a drink detox can be hopeless, New Year plans to lose weight can be just as hopeless.

Statistics say that 61% of the population does not understand the correct way to diet.  41% of the population understands the correct calorie consumption, but one in eight people do not realise how to diet healthily.

Again there is no quick fix way to lose weight you need to change your lifestyle over a period of time.

Market analysts Mintel say that 7% fewer people today follow a healthy diet plan than three years ago and the sad fact of todays life is these people are more concerned about finances than staying well through a few lifestyle changes.
