let's face it… we’re getting older. And it shows. </span><br />

a love-hate relationship with the idea of Botox. When I am experiencing hostile

strong distaste for the paparazzi, Sienna is one of few to make a stand and took
legal action against photo agency <b><a href="http://www.bigpictures.co.uk/">Big Pictures</a></b>. She credits this decision with
the heightened success of her acting career and an increased respect from high
society movers. Her sister also shies away from the social spotlight,

This year
has been all about the Middletons. Kate Middleton became the Duchess of
Cambridge in a Royal Wedding that was celebrated by the nation. Her style has
been forensically observed and every detail analysed. With no obvious mistakes
and her innate ability to mix high end with high street fashion, Catherine has
pleased both the public and her critics more often than not. Pippa Middleton
has been more daring with her choices; that red dress with a plunging neckline
was hotter than our summer. Generally, both women earn praise for exhibiting
classic tailoring and herald the return of traditional elegance.</div>

<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: black;"><b>One of my
favourite ways</b> to warm things up during the chilly winter months is to sport striking,
rich lips. My most preferable hue this season is deep plum and exploring such a strong makeup trend also provides a
quick and easy way to transform your look as darkness arrives. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I attended an art exhibition in <st1:place w:st="on">Mayfair</st1:place>. After
a hectic day, I had less than 30 minutes to take my look from office drab to sophisticated
glam. I decided that it was time to coat my pout with one of this season’s most
desirable shades. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: black;">Not only have dark
lips recently taken centre stage on the catwalk but they have been showcased by
a number of stars such as Miranda Kerr and Catherine Zeta Jones. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;">Everyone can pull off this trend with the benefit of a few
helpful tips.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: black;">When choosing to
sport high impact lips you must always remember the golden rule: accentuate
only one feature of your face and leave the rest very simple. Keeping your eyes
natural will encourage all the attention to focus on your gorgeous pout. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: black;">A deep plum shade
is guaranteed to add instant definition to your face and you will feel like you
have walked straight off the catwalk, rather than out of the office. It is best
to opt for a lipstick that has a slight shine and by steering clear of matte
textures you will avoid a vampire-esque result. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: black;">One of the best
tricks I have learnt from working with makeup artists over the years is to
always couple lipstick - especially dark shades - with lip liner. You should colour
your entire pout with the latter to create definition and provide a base coat
for your lipstick. This not only helps it last longer but it will prevent
undesirable smudges from spoiling the chic finish.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: black;">I tested this old
trick at the art exhibition and I am delighted to report that I managed to
enjoy sipping champagne without a single smudge; a necessity for lip wear on an
evening out. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: black;">So, if you are
caught unaware by an invitation to a drinks party, or simply fancy spoiling
yourself by dining at your favourite restaurant; don’t forget to include plum
lip colour in your hand bag. It is a quick fire way to add some festive glam
and transform your daytime style. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
With Halloween and Guy Fawkes Night behind us, the party
season is about to begin with a bang. As Christmas approaches our diaries
become even busier than normal with festive celebrations aplenty. Dressing to go
straight from work to a drinks party - with no time for a pampering session at
home beforehand - can prove a tricky task.<br />
With this in mind, <b><i><a href="http://thesloaney.blogspot.com/search/label/Sloaney%20Fashion">Sloaney Fashion</a></i></b> has
created an outfit that will help you move from desk to dinner in style.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
The base piece for this look is a chic jacquard effect dress
by <b><a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/167261">Lela Rose</a></b>. Opting for an elegant dress for daytime provides you with an
aspect of versatility as you can easily add some extra pizzazz by accessorising
the outfit as dusk arrives. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The blends of ivory and black enable you to keep the look simple,
yet chic for work. Wear some black tights with these gorgeous thigh high boots
from <b><a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/162525">Chloe</a></b>. The <b><a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/172253">Antonio Berardi</a></b> jacket has sequin-embellished sleeves that will
give a hit of festive glamour to the look. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The black <b><a href="http://www.mulberry.com/#/storefront/c5486/5998/moreviews/">Mulberry Tote</a></b> is a key part of this outfit as it provides
you with a great work bag that is spacious enough to carry your evening
accessories. By the end of the working day you can draw further on the hint of glamour
reflected in the sequins on the jacket and enjoy a gold rush. </div>

from <b><a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/171151">Yves Saint Laurent</a></b> and complement this by replacing the accommodating Tote

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">After trialling both options, the main advantage of a temporary extension is that you can take it out when you don’t need the added volume. Therefore, you will have much more flexibility for styling your hair and following the latest trends. Not only can permanent extensions be difficult to wash, but they will also weaken your hair after time. By removing your hair piece as you please, you can give your own hair some respite and special treatment. </span></div>
