Marc Jacob's Daisy Perfume!

After receiving Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume as a gift on Christmas day in 2011, I instantly adored the smell and chic look about the whole perfume. The shimmering gold, and the light reflective silver metallic, gave the bottle a beautiful look from the minute your eyes are upon it. Now, just over a year later, it seems like the fabulous perfume has had many makeovers with the design coming in colours like red and black.

Each one holds it's own look but it's fair to say that they are all amazingly designed and are still stunning to match the incredible smell hidden inside the bottle! Now that Summer is around the corner, Marc Jacobs has revealed another line up of designs, with this time the bottle holding neon, vibrant and bold colours which is perfect for any girls handbag this Summer! See them below:

Beyonce for H&M!

Queen Bee has taken the music world by storm, and now it looks as though she is ready to take over the H&M campaigns! Beyonce will be showcasing the new Summer collection, inspired by her own personal style. After shooting the campaign in the sunny island of Barbados, Beyonce told H&M: "I've always liked H&M's focus on fun and affordable fashion. I really loved the concept we collaborated on to explore the different emotions of women represented by the four elements - fire, water, earth and wind. It was a beautiful shoot on a tropical island. It felt more like making a video than a commercial."

Beyonce was captured by photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin and it's fair to say that it clearly wasn't a normal day at the office! 

Matchless campaign featuring Kate Moss!

Kate Moss has landed a new campaign for one of Britain's oldest motorcycle brand - Matchless! The campaign featuring the British Supermodel, is to showcase the brands debut clothing collection for both men and women. The main items of the collection will be for outdoor wear and is set to be released in June.

Terry Richardson captured Kate lying over a motorcycle, making the campaign very significant and personal for the brand. As seen above, jackets are one of the main items involved in this collection, including the extremely popular leather jackets. From this alone, you can imagine there will be quite a difference in the price range; the leather jackets are priced between £900 - £1,300, whilst the other main feature of the collection, the washed cotton jackets, are going for between £600 to £900. It may sound a lot, but I'm pretty certain it will be perfect for you as soon as you head out the door wearing your brand new jacket!

Victoria's Secret's new Angel...

Victoria's Secret has a new angel, and it comes as no surprise to be taken by American Supermodel, Karlie Kloss! After making her debut at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in 2011, Karlie has continued to work with the brand starring in campaign and adverts for the luxurious collections. 

Kloss's most recent for work with the American giant brand, was to launch the Fabulous collection which boasts fresh, new, vibrant collections perfect for Spring. The looks come in a multiple of colours, but Karlie was chosen to showcase the pink set with white lace detail in both the campaigns and the television advertisement. 

It also looks that Kloss new bob that she showcased at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2012 (extensions were added for the show), is here to stay as she has been seen experimenting with new looks for the brand.

YSL Beauty Campaign featuring Cara Delevingne!

Cara Delevingne has landed yet another fabulous campaign, showing the fashion world exactly what she is made of and why she was named the Model of the Year. 

The beauty campaign for fashion giant Yves Saint Laurent showcases the new 'Baby Doll mascara'. It sure makes Miss Delevingne's lashes look insanely long, but I wouldn't be surprised if she was blessed with naturally long lashes anyway. 

The glistening gold packaging features the words 'Baby Doll' in a light shade of pink down the side and will come to stores along with the eyeliner on the 22nd of May 2013. 

It seems as though Cara has taken up many of the campaign this year and we are only three months into 2013! What does she have in the bag next?

Paris Fashion Week highlights!

What an incredible Paris Fashion Week it has been! With only one show to go (Wunderkind), I'm going to take a look back at some of my favourite shows from all the talented designers!

Celine:

I love Celine. Every collection is always beautifully elegant and sharp, without a thing out of place! Amazing shapes, and crisp bold colours following the likes of pale pinks, whites, creams, blues, reds, yellows and blacks were seen throughout the designers Autumn/Winter 2013-14 collection. An array of oversized coats, shin length skirts, and sharp, smart tops were all featured on the runway!

Chloe:

Chloe was all about the blue! In shades from dark to light, it was seen on items such as coats and skirts. To enhance the stunning looks other mixture of white, grey, red and gold were used. The collection is perfect to add a pop of colour to the dull winter months towards the end of the year and look to be perfect for any occasion that comes around!

John Galliano:

A variety of shapes were seen on the runway for Galliano this Autumn/Winter 2013-14 collection. It followed a line of deep, dark bold colours including purples, blacks, greys and blues. along with splashes of prints with some ombre from blue to orange seen in the mix. There was a majestic feel about the whole show, from how it was designed to the collection, which I think definitely achieved John's goal to make every women feel confident and fabulous.
