There is nothing better than taking your heels off after a day at work, a feeling Holly Willoughby undoubtedly shares after she was spotted carrying her black skyscrapers on Monday.

The TV presenter looked stunning as she left the ITV studios after filming This Morning with Dermot O’Leary, who is filling in for Phillip Schofield this week.

After changing out of her figure-hugging dress, the 32-year-old was seen stepping out in a pair of dark, skinny jeans as well as a cosy looking coat.

As always Holly’s hair and make-up looked immaculate as she carried some serious arm-candy: a grey and gold Birkin handbag.

For the show, the star had displayed her enviable figure in a purple v-neck dress and black, opaque tights

If you like to wear black as much as I do, listen up. I have become quite aware of the way different fabrics hold black dye as well as which fabrics and textures look good together. With this in mind,

Why I Love Wool and So Should You

Wools are always a deeper black than cottons (wool holds dye better) which is why when I’m buying black trousers, sweaters and of course suits, I stick to wool. And what’s even better is wool doesn’t fade like cotton does over time

Matching Your Blacks

No matter what the fabric, shades of black differ so be careful when putting an all black outfit together. For example, when pairing a black shirt with black trousers, the black shirt might have a purple cast while your black trousers have a brown cast. These differences are subtle, but important.

How to Choose Lipstick Color

Posted on

Choosing a lipstick color might seem as easy as going to a makeup counter and picking what you like, but in reality, selecting the right shade for every occasion takes a little bit more attention. While some women find a lipstick shade that becomes a trademark for their look, most of us need to have a few options at our disposal so we can look perfect no matter what we’re wearing or what the occasion is

How to Choose a Lipstick Color for Everyday Wear

If you normally wear casual clothes such as jeans and a tee, you can opt for a lipstick color that plays primarily off your coloring. Fair skinned blonds look great in a pretty pink or red lipstick depending on blouse color (you don’t want to clash); brunettes can go a bit darker with a light plum or even a peach shade; and redheads should concentrate on subtle lipstick in a soft rose or creamy nude.

How to Choose a Lipstick Color for the Office

For office attire, stronger colors can be used to accent your wardrobe. A red power suit can prompt a matching lip color, or go for contrast with a sober black suit jacket paired with red lipstick. Dove-gray skirt suits look great with soft pink lipstick shades, and you can match your heels and clutch in the same shade. If you like pinstripe suits in navy blue, consider falling back on an appropriate shade for your coloring—pink, plum or rose—and paint your fingernails to match. It’s all about coordination!

How to Choose a Lipstick Color for Formal Occasions

 

For a big night on the town, choose either your lips or your eyes to highlight—never both. If you decide to make your eyes the focal point, it’s important to keep your lips subtle. Choose a shade that blends well with your coloring, or go for a nude effect using just a faint lip liner and some gloss. If you opt to keep your eyes more natural looking and play up your pout, use a lip liner that’s slightly darker than your lipstick shade followed by a lip color that both caters to your coloring and your attire. The little black dress will give you the most leeway; you can go with bright red, primrose pink, or bright plum with impunity. Otherwise, let the color of your dress help guide you to the best shade that will complement your overall look.

 

Every woman should have at least half a dozen lipstick colors to choose from. Depending on how extensive your wardrobe and social life are, you may need two or three times that many shades! Don’t be afraid to experiment with various brands, and try gloss as well as matte versions of your preferred colors.

The Forever Fashion Rules

Always dress according to both the weather and the occasion. If it’s snowing, wrap up, even if you need to look smart.

A leather shift dress is a blank canvas that you can accessories to fit with pretty much any season.

When wearing open-toe shoes, it’s probably best to leave the hosiery at home.

Invest in a Breton T. It will go with everything (including things it shouldn’t, like leopard prints).

When opting for loose on top, go skinny on the bottom, and vice versa.

7 Life-Changing Habits for Your Most Gorgeous Hair Ever

Posted on

Have you ever looked at a woman on a blistery day, wind whipping your hair all akimbo, and noticed her tresses look…perfect. How does she do it? It’s all in how you care for your hair, baby. Granted, hair that doesn’t move is either under a hat or a serious amount of styling product. But that shine, those perfectly un-split ends…that’s taking care of your assets in between styling sessions.

If you’ve ever wondered how to separate haircare fact from fiction (no, trimming your hair does NOT make it grow faster), we’re here to help. Live by these seven rules and you’ll be on your way to giving yourself the hair you’ve always dreamed of. Note: healthy hair is also a product of taking care of your body and your stress level. As if you needed another reason to be an all-around healthy gal, add gorgeous hair to the list. Now, here are the ways to protect hair and treat it right, once and for all!

1.) Skip Daily Shampooing

If you’re washing your hair every day, you’re doing it a major drying-out disservice. I know, you’re like, “But I have super oily hair!” That’s what dry shampoo is for. Or just warm water in the shower. You do not need to shampoo every day. Every other day is plenty and your hair will look better for it. Trust. Try to keep the shampoo on your scalp and the conditioner for your lengths and ends, too.

2.) Stock Up on Vitamins 

Look at the labels of the products you buy and stick to nourishing natural vitamins, minerals and even oils. They do your hair good, just as they do the rest of you good when you eat them. In fact, consuming healthier foods will directly contribute to healthier hair. Think of essential fatty acids, leafy greens and vitamins A, E and C.

3.) Brush Sparingly 

There’s only one reason to brush your hair — ever. If you’re being a good girl and haven’t shampooed it in two or three days, you might notice some oil buildup on your roots. That’s natural, normal and healthy. Use a boar bristle brush from root to tip to distribute that natural shine serum from the top of your head to the tips. Otherwise, stick to combing. Combs don’t flatten your volume or reduce your natural wavy or curly texture.

4.) Dye Wisely and Only Out of Necessity 

It’s sort of common sense to dye your hair sparingly, right? But if you’re an at-home dyer, here’s another tip that will make your hair look 25 when you’re 45: Dye only your roots on a four to six week basis. This saves the length and ends of your hair from extra damage. As for the rest of your hair, it can be dyed only a few times per year if it’s particularly faded or brassy. As a blonde who’s been dying her hair for 15 years and using this method, I revel in compliments about how healthy my hair looks. People assume it’s natural – nope!

5.) Listen to your Scalp 

Your scalp is an indicator of your hair type. If it’s oily, are your strands. If it’s dry and flaky, expect brittle, breakable hair. Depending on what you observe, choose your haircare products. Moisturizing for you dry types and clarifying for extra oily scalps.

6.) Use Protection 

Like skin, hair retains damage from heavy and repeated sun exposure. If you can wear a hat on a sunny day, do so. Now imagine what a blower and flat iron are doing to your strands. Yikes. Too many women think heat-protectant creams and sprays are an unnecessary add-on to their haircare regime, but without them, you might as well be hanging out in the middle of the Sahara in your polka dot bikini sans sunscreen.

7.) Stay Trimmed 

Once and for all, keeping hair trimmed does not promote growth. You hair grows from your roots, not your ends. What getting your hair trimmed actually does for you is keep your ends looking…trimmed and healthy! It also allows your hair to look its best while it grows out. Split ends don’t necessarily stop at the tips either. Without a trim, they’ll just keep moving up the hair shaft, meaning you could be in for losing more hair than you want when you sit down in your stylists chair.
