Floral designs by a flower engineer

Floral designer Andreas Verheijen is a flower engineer. He sculps plants display the way a sculptor would sculp clay. He creates hair pieces of feathers and moss and carves gourd into sensual art and makes colour pop in ways that look unnatural, yet the pieces are real.

These images are fantastic and unique, it shows the beauty of flowers and the colours that it exurbs.

Wine extracts in new cosmetic line


Award winning winery Group Matarromera have recently launched a cosmetics line that makes use of the antioxidant-rich grape skins that are left over by the wine-making process. The brand Esdor taps into the powerful polyphenois so abundant in the skin of red grapes. The new Esdor cosmetic is made with 85% natural compounds including 7.5% Eminol - includes anti-aging, anti-wrinkling and skin elasticity. It is 100% sustainable that generates more energy than it consumes.

Double hit for Angelina

Angelina Jolie

A double hit for Angelina Jolie this week. With Tourist bombing at the box office and her supposive red carpet looks failing too, it definately has not been a good weeks for her. I don't think all the looks are that bad, what do you think?? I think my personal favourite is the white long sleeved dress with the sexy slit.

How many time can a dress be worn??

Juliet Lewis, Scarlett Johansson, Christina Aguilera

How many times can one look be worn and rocked on the red carpet. This Dolce and Gabbana lace cocktail dress has seen multiple apperances this year in June, October and December.

Scarlette Johnasson rocks the look at the MTV movie awards - the green versions and black pumps.
Juliette Lewis in the screening of Conviction wears the red version with black strappy sandles
Christian Aguilera wore it to the Burlesque photocall in Spain with a black belt, tights, heels and a cardigan

The festive bow and ribbon trend

Michelle Williams, Elle Fanning, Kristin Davis, Reese Witherspoon, Anne Hathaway

Hollywood's fashionistas are getting in the holiday spirit and rocking the festive ribbons and bows look. But who did it best??
Michelle Williams
Elle Fanning
Kirstin Davis
Reese Witherspoon
Anne Hathaway

Deja vu - January Jones

Going back in History, she is back in the modelling world. The sexy January Jones strips all off to just her stilettos for Versace's latest campaign.

January should not have been in the shadows for so long as if she can rock these looks, i can see her being the talk of the town and the next popular model for 2011.


January Jones, Versace Ad

Natalie Portman's georgous dress

Natalie Portman

Saw this dress Natalie Portman is wearing and have to write about it. It is absolutely amazing and she looks fantastic. This off the shoulder, tight bodice and ruched bottom dress is a definate to go down in history.

More Kate then Will and Kate

Kate Middleton, Prince William

The Kate and William frenzy has still not gone away except now people are less interested in William and more interested Kate's outfits. Check out this dress below, it is absolutely georgous. This beautiful princess does bargin shopping rather then normal celebrities who spend a horrendous amount. This white, long sleeved Reiss fall dress which retails less then £300 and a vintage silk blouse from Whistles' fall 2008 line for the casual close up really finishes the look.
Who ever her stylist is has really got it right, Kate is always looking a 10 in photos but now unfortuantely for her she has to look like this all the time. The bad part of marrying a royal, there is no bad hair day or slobby clothes.
That would be awful!

Sexy Suits are in

Jessica Alba, Anna Lynne McCord,  Olivia Wilde

The latest trend on the red carpet is Sexy suits, not just for men but for women too. So who are the celebrities in question, Jessica Alba, Annalynne McCord and Olivia Wilde they definately know how to rock the look and look sexy as ever.  But which outfit do you prefer out of the looks, as even though they are all wearing suits they come across very differently?

Another Lady Gaga outfit for show!

Lady Gaga

I know Lady Gaga is not normal and she wears some (fantastic) i think that is the nicest way to describe it 'outfits'. But this one really takes the bullet, with a spiked chastity belt this week.

A New Era for Royal Style

Kate Middleton
A new era of royal style. Will Kate Middleton be the biggest icon's next year and her style and trend be what leads us into 2011?

You decide, but i definately think everyone is loving the new princess

Marc Jacob's new cancer campaign

Marisa Miller

The new Marc Jacobs campaign sees model Marisa Miller take it all off for Marc Jacob's new skin cancer awareness campaign, 'Protect the skin you're in.'

This sexy stunner will appear on t-shirts and will be available at Marc Jacobs boutiques, with all the proceeds benefitting the NYU Cancer Institute.

For men this is definatly a good way to make cancer known and i must admit i think it would sell most girls as well. Definatly love her shoes :)

New jewellery line

Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie designs a new pricey line of jewellery with Robert Procop ex CEO of Asprey. There line will feature necklaces, rings and much more.
Due to Angelina's huge charitable nature all the proceeds from the sales will go to Angie's charity Education Partnership for Children of Conflict.
The only bad news is, it will not be sold to the average joe only these expensive high-end pieces will be sold privately to Procop's clients. BOO!!!!

Lace = decorative doilies???

Kirsten Dunst, Katy Perry, Eva Mendes
Lace is it in???
As the 70's start to creep into 2011 these new spring looks are big on the trend chart.
Lace is in for these sexy celebrities, but what do you think of it??? or is it a bit of a decorative doilies look??

Who wore it best???

Anna Wintour, Carey Mulligan

Who wore it better the mother of all fashion Anna Wintour or Carey Mulligan?? These Lanvin designs where worn by these 2 celebrities in 2 different events. Anna Wintour wore it at the Michael Kors show in New York 2 months ago and last week Carey Mulligan wore it for Goggle Boutique's launch. I think that definately means Carey copied Anna - but again - who wore it best???

Alexa Chung, Chloe Moretz, Nicole Richie, George Kotsiopoulos

The new trend this autumn is shorts and i bet most of you are wondering how do you where winter shorts like those clebrities. Here are Chloe Moretz, Alexa Chung and Nicole Richie.
Shorts arn't just for summer anymore, they're now a seasonless alternative to a mini skirt. There more comfortable, give ease and movement and you don't have to sit really elegantly and cross your legs when you sit down - it is the modern mini :)

Emma Watson on a role

Emma Watson, Leighton Meester


Well the look at the moment is Emma Watson who has done amazingly well the last few times she has been in the spot light with her spot on style. Im still not to sure about her hair but then if i has her face and her body - i would definately shave all mine off.
Firstly Emma nailed it is the vintage Rafael Lopex dress with a see through bodice and flirthy, feathered skirt for the London premiere of the Deathly Hallows.
Emma Watson


Then she flew half way across the world to Manhatten where a little black dress did not let her down again and she looked georgous. This very 90's sleek black Calvin Klein dress is to die for. I think i prefer the London premiere dress but this one is still lovely.
Im excited to see what she will wear for the next premiere - don't let us down emma you are definately on a role :)

Heidi Klum in Mondo Guerra - what do you think??

Heidi Klum

Jon Hamm, Ryan Reynolds, Brad Pitt, Kellan LutzThe new trend for the boys - its the newboy caps, shades and dark jackets. As an addition it is either a scarf or a satchel ove rthe shouder - ooooooooo stylish :)  This is the look for celebs such as Brad Pitt, Ryan Renolds amoungst others

New trend of underwear by David Beckham ;)

David Beckhams Emporio Armani underwear campaign has had a huge effect in not just the ratings. Now the football star and underwear model is in question for setting up his own underwear line called Schwing - well i definately wouldn't mind especailly if he still continues to be the model and ware some very tight and skimpy number ;) He was so big form Emporio Armani it sort of makes sense to make even more money then he already has. But I'm not complaining, as long as he is on the editorial side :)David Beckham, Giorgio Armani ad

Bobs to best and worst outfits











The new hair for Winter and the start for 2011 is thebob - it is one of those hair styles that never goes out of style or fashion and some of these celebrities are wearing these new stylish and sexy cuts very well. Stars like Scarlett Johansson, Keira Knightley and Nicole Richie.
But each have made there own individual cut with a twist. It is nnot all one length it is edgy and lopsided but in a good way.
It also has flexibility as these cut allow the ease to wear hair extentions as well :)


These are some sexy ladies and some sexy outfits and definately deserve the title of best dressed. With Carey Mulligan in Preen, Eva Mendes in Versace and Nicole Kidman in Lanvin. Good work ladies.

Now with a positive there is always a negative - and these ladies got it very wrong. Everyone is meant to look good in black but these ladies definately get voted the worst dressed. With Julianne Moore in Alexander McQueen, Ashley and Mary Kate Olsen in some unknown fur and Blake Lively in an unknown designers. Sorry ladies but you definately got these outfits wrong.

From glits and glam to tragic and gothic







Well these two are completely opposites in their outfits - you have glits, glam and sexy and then you have goth, ranchy and scary. The dress Halle Berry is wearing is a Yves Saint Laurent gown which is absolutely georgous - you wouldn't have thought she had kids. Taylor Momsen - well i don't know what to say expect who ever inspired her to wear such a horrible outfit, it definately is a worst dressed look for the red carpet.
The new MWM x Militag Jersy - well that is definately a site for sore eyes with its vibrant colours, shape, geometry, aerodynamics and speed. This is one saucy outfit to wear out as you are cycling down the road - you definately wouldnt be missed. what do you think??

3 in one thats a lot of spots!

So doesn't everyone hate it when someone is wearing the same outfit as you to an event or a party - you are always judging and thinking do they look better then me, that bitch how could she do that. Well what happens when 3 celebrities where the same Dolce and Gabanna dress but just in different colours. The worst thing is that it even has the same prints - the leopard print is back but 3 in one go - well leopards never change their spots do they. So poor Kylie Minogue, Denise Richards and Katharine McPhee.

New fashion trend for spring could be Aprons!!!
Random I know but when fashion designers being inspired by an article of 'utilitarian clothing that once represented 50's era gender roles' - well what do you expect? Y&H will have to ponder this some more i think - I don't know if many people will come out of the house in aprons - well maybe if they had forgot to take it off. It strikes me as a sign to our culture - men start in the kitchen :)
Bergdorf Goodman is focusing on the top 10 prints with -
Alexander McQueen, Akris, Arkis Punto, Dolce and Gabbana, Emilio Pucci, Etro, Jean Paul Gaultier, Piazza Sempione, Roberto Cavalli and Stella McCartney

Bieber fever and Katy Perry's wedding dress designer







Justin Bieber to bring out a new fregrance called My World - thats ironic isn't it, coming from one of the youngest pop stars - seriously he really should discover pupity, not fregrances - it is not healthy. (Take note here is the next star to go into rehab).
New reveal - Katy Perry's wedding dress designer is Elie Saab haute couture - which is not a surprise seeing as she has worn her designs quiet a few times before. But what did it actually look like????
