There are many people who would love to be able to keep up with the latest fashions but do not have the ready cash to do this. When you see an item of clothing or accessories you like, it is only natural to want to purchase it right away. However, if you do not have the money and have to spend time saving for it, there is a chance that it will not longer be as fashionable as it was once you have the cash, or you may have gone off it.

 

Fortunately, there is another solution. Many people these days decide to access the latest fashions by using catalogues. This is for a number of reasons. First off, it enables people to spread the payments on the purchases they make. But there are also many other benefits for dedicated followers of fashion to look forward to. You will find plenty of catalogues to choose from and you can find the best ones via sites such as comparecatalogues.co.uk.

 

Some of the Key Benefits

 

So, what are the main benefits of catalogue shopping? Well, as mentioned previously, one of the key benefits for most people is the ability to spread repayments on purchases made. Keeping up with the latest fashions can be a costly affair and not everyone has the available money to do this. However, using catalogues means that you can benefit from increased flexibility and financial freedom when it comes to purchase clothes and accessories. You will have a credit limit that you can work with, so you know exactly what you can afford to spend.

 

Another great benefit of shopping for the latest fashions in catalogues is that you can look forward to excellent choice. You will find a huge choice of fashion and accessories in today’s catalogues including items from some of the biggest designers as well as celebrity designed and endorsed fashion. This means that you can find exactly what you are looking for with much greater ease and speed rather than trawling the various fashion shops in person and coming up with nothing.

 

When you opt for catalogue shopping, another of the key benefits you can look forward to is total convenience. Many people hate going out shopping for clothes, as you have to go from one retailer to the next, scour the rails for the right sizes, spend time in queues, and cope with a pretty stressful experience. When you shop through catalogues, you can even make your purchases online, so you can browse and purchase from the comfort and privacy of your own home.

 

Of course, there are many other benefits you can look forward to when you access the latest fashions via catalogues. This includes the ability to have your items delivered quickly and conveniently to your door. Most will also offer free returns, which means that if an item is not suitable you can send it back without any issues and get the purchase amount credited back to your account.

What do you think of the looks from night? Who do you think was best dressed? Let us know in the comments below

Are you tired of doing the same thing with your eye makeup every day? Are you looking to try something new?

Playing with different eye looks can be a lot of fun! But, sometimes it can be difficult to figure out what to do. You want something different. But, you still want it to look flattering.

If you need some inspiration, you’ve come to the right place. Read on to learn about the biggest eye makeup trends to watch out for in 2019.

Metallic Eyeshadow

While we can’t say what’s happening in the heavy metal music scene right now, we can say that the heavy metal makeup scene is on the rise!

And by that, we mean metallic eyeshadow is about to become all the rage. The new trend is to go completely bold with it, by applying it all over your lid. And, the color should be bold as well.

Popular metallic eyeshadow colors include violet, gold, silver, emerald green, and rose. If you order contact lenses online, consider getting colored contacts to really amp up the look.

Big Lower Lashes

Most people apply heavy amounts of mascara to the upper lashes and only add a tiny bit to their lower lashes. But, now the trendy thing is to give those lower lashes some love.

Bold bottom eyelashes are now one of the biggest eye makeup trends. In fact, you won’t even have to worry about buying two separate mascaras for your bottom and top lashes.

Eye makeup brands are catching onto these trends and creating 2 in 1 mascaras with wands for both the top and bottom.

Inner Eye Shine

One of the quickest, easiest ways to make your eyes look brighter and more awake is to dab some shimmery white shadow into their inner corners.

In fact, this trick does such a good job at brightening your eyes that some people decide to wear it alone and not even add on any more eyeshadow.

This little trick used to be relatively unknown. But now, the cat is officially out of the bag. Expect to see a lot of women taking advantage of this eye makeup trend.

Crazy for Cobalt

Most people stick to the basics when it comes to eyeliner colors: brown, black, and the occasional dark blue.

But, a new color is here to make a name for itself, and that color is cobalt.

More and more women are going for bolder eyeliner colors, and cobalt is leading the charge. In fact, the big trend is to add a defined line of cobalt to your bottom lids and to skip the top lid altogether. Then, the rest of the look is kept extremely minimal, with just a touch of mascara and a neutral eyeshadow color.

For those who frequently have tired, red eyes, this is a trend you’ll want to take advantage of!

Smudged Eyeliner

For those who could never perfect the perfect liquid eyeliner line – rejoice! Smudged eyeliner is officially here to save the day.

Use a black pencil eyeliner to give yourself this slightly punk rock yet still classy makeup look.

While you’ll still mostly see the straight line in work settings, get ready to see a lot of women rocking the smudged eyeliner look for a night on the town or even for their daytime look.

There you have it, the 6 biggest eye makeup trends to watch out for in 2019! Which of these are you most excited to test out? Comment below!

Chanel? Versace? And Wang?! Oh my. New York’s fashion scene was alive and well this weekend as three of the biggest design houses held shows over the course of the week, giving consumers a little taste of what is to come for FW19 with their Pre-Fall 2019 collections!

 

To get the party started, the “arty animal” himself, Alexander Wang, opened the week with his star-studded show with celebrities like Teyana Taylor, 21 Savage, and our very own editor, Claire Sulmers. The “Collection 2” show called “American Hustle” is mixture of social class stereotypes to put the idea of status symbols in a different light. Feelin like an outsider as a young boy, he was always questioning whether he fit in with his upper class peers. From snakeskin mixed with rugby sweaters to women in deconstructed suits, he is dismissing the question of “where do I fit in” and breaking the rules of status and stereotypes to promote individuality. And, if you would like the finer things in life, you have to work hard and hustle.

 

In the city of bright lights, Versace surely achieved the mood of New York through a replica of the Statue of Liberty’s torch in gold. Versace’s Pre-Fall collection was more of a celebration as it was held on Giani’s 72nd birthday if the great was still with us and the partygoers included Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, Young Thug, Lupita Nyong’o, and Tracee Ellis Ross amongst others. With this collection, Donatella showed her love for NY by depicted the modern on-the-go NY woman through luggage and the printed head scarf with sunglasses combination completed with the signature Versace elements of vibrant prints and signature gold. She even brought back the famous safety pin dress from the 1994 Spring collection.

 

The Chanel Métiers d’Art 2019 collection was very much Egyptian-inspired as models were seen strutting with black eyeliner and all gold everything. Even some of the models have their legs painted in gold! Karl Lagerfeld truly knows how to get into a theme as the show was held at the Temple of Dendur at The Met which showcases the architecture of an ancient Egyptian temple. Of course, a Chanel collection would not be a true Chanel collection without the use of the famous tweed material. Lagerfeld references a trip through the times with ancient, classic Chanel, and futuristic references through the Métiers d’Art 2019 collection. Also, you can’t wrong with using Pharrell as a model.

Having a date night at home can be a fantastic idea no matter if you are in the early stages of your relationship or if you have been living together for years. It is a lot more intimate and more comfortable than going out, plus you can make huge savings by staying at home too! Much like any date, it is vital that you put some thought into it so that it will be a valuable, memorable and fun night for both of you. If you have a date night lined up but you have decided to stay in, read on for some helpful advice.

 

– What To Wear

 

It can be tricky to know what to wear as you will want to look nice for your date but there is no need to dress up as if you are visiting a fancy restaurant. Ultimately, you should choose something that you feel confident in so that you can enjoy yourself and feel comfortable and happy. The great thing about date nights at home is that you can quickly change into something else if you end up curling up in front of the TV.

 

– Food

 

Having a date night at home is a great way to show off your culinary skills, but you do not have to be a master chef to impress as there are many easy to follow recipes for tantalizing dishes. One particularly useful option is sweet and sticky tofu which is bursting with flavor and a dish which both looks and tastes good but is easy to cook. Don’t forget to pair your meal with a nice bottle of wine or drink of your choice.

 

– Entertainment

 

You can simply enjoy each other’s company over a good meal, candlelight and bottle of wine, but you may want to pick an appropriate album or playlist to play during the meal and think of a few topics of conversation in case you run out of things to say. Aside from this, there are many excellent entertainment and activities that you could do together. A few good options include:

 

• Playing a board or card game
• Listen to music
• Watch a film/binge on a TV series
• Go for a walk
• Ask each other questions
• Make cocktails

 

– Things To Remember

 

There are a few essential points to remember with this type of date as it is quite different from any kind of date night where you are out.

 

• Remember that you are on a date so do not ignore your partner and act as you would on an average night in
• If they do not live with you, then remember that they do not have to stay over if you do not want them to
• Make sure that there will be no distractions or visitors that come over during your date

 

Having a date night in can be a great way to spend quality time with your partner, but this is also a unique type of date and one which will require a fair amount of planning with the above being the main areas to consider.

Which came first, the runway or the street? This is the riddle of fashion in the 2000s. Streetstyle has influenced the zeitgeist of runways worldwide, with Athleisure taking over even the most luxurious European houses. The quirky blogger who would combine unlikely prints, or the unique immigrant artist who would maybe blend cultural influences, are the types of people that are setting the trends. Labels are exercising those thumb muscles, scrolling Instagram for inspiration. Meanwhile, fashionistas are looking at the runways shows, pulling out the mood, colours and silhouettes designed for us to consume.

Among the huge trends like Neon green and lazerbeam yellows, animal prints and bulldozer sneakers, are smaller sub-trends that pop up. Versace stomped down the Fall/Winter 2018 runways with a punk attitude, mixing punchy plaids and bright tartans in a single look. They juxtaposed colours and prints, blocking plaids on jackets and skirts. This two-face style contrast of prints are now gaining momentum. I’m seeing them in fast and higher end fashion online stores, fashion blogs and social media.

Mixing prints and colour blocking find their way into the trendosphere regularly. It is a cool take on more traditional patterns to mix stark tartan patterns like this. Junya Watanabe combines the tartan with other classic prints like animal, damask and smaller plaids, to create a similar effect.

Here are a few other looks, to give you some ideas on how you can jump on this ride:

2 iconic British fashion powerhouses have joined forces to create an oh-so quirky and utterly British limited-edition collection.

Originally announced back in July via a portrait of Riccardo Tisci, Vivienne Westwood and Andreas Kronthaler on Instagram. Now, the time has arrived to shop the surprisingly accessible collaboration (select pieces start as low as UK£55/US$70)

As expected from the ‘Queen of Punk’ the overall feel of the capsule collection is a cool, grunge-era, unapologetic vibe. Pieces include reimagined kilts, berets, jackets and a handwritten message by Westwood herself emblazoned on an oversized t-shirt. This piece will help raise money for non-profit charity Cool Earth who help put a stop to deforestation and climate change. A cause very close to the designer’s hearts. Westwood will also customize 4 items from the collection to be auctioned, proceeds of which will go to Cool Earth.

The campaign (which also dropped today) feature the likes of Kate Moss and Sistren and shot by David Sims, who’s portfolio includes works for Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga and Calvin Klein.

This sure to sell out collection will be the brand’s first collaboration since Riccardo Tisci was appointed Chief Creative Officer in March 2018.

All these pieces are available to purchase online now through the Burberry website.
