Make Up For Ever is expanding the Aqua collection for summer style

The weather may be one way to tell that it’s finally summer, but the debut of bright new makeup colours is certainly our favourite sign! Make Up For Ever has announced a new range of summer colours for their popular waterproof Aqua line—just in time for sweaty temperatures or days spent by the pool. The new colours include five Aqua Rouge lip shades, two Aqua Lip pencils, three pastel Aqua Cream pigments and two new Aqua Eyes pencils. And because the season is all about bright, sunny shades, the Make Up For Ever Aqua summer collection is full of vibrant colours. (If you’re ready to bring out your inner seapunk, this collection is for you!)


Topshop festival has launched a music festival style collection with Kate Bosworth


Working with the Topshop design team, Bosworth created items that extend the actress’s style and work hand in hand with the Topshop brand. The special 21-piece collection consists of signature pieces ranging from neon printed shorts, fur lined vests, gladiator sandals and even feathered wings. And before you click through to our gallery of all the Topshop Festival items—you may have already seen them: Bosworth wore many of the items at this year’s Coachella festival.
Just in time for this summer’s music festival season, Topshop is launching an interactive campaign called Topshop Festival. Inspired by the energy of the ever-growing popularity of British music festivals and its fashion, the campaign includes music, movies and, of course, must-have products. Even better, Topshop turned to Kate Bosworth—a Coachella devotee who’s always embraced the festival fashion trend—to help create some items for the collection. It’s not a collaboration, per say, but more of a Bosworth-approved edit of the Topshop Festival collection.

A celebrity is a person who has a prominent profile and commands, Lily of the valley print is having a celebrity moment


celebrity is a person who has a prominent profile and commands some degree of public fascination and influence in day-to-day media. The term is often synonymous with wealth (commonly denoted as a person with fame and fortune), implied with great popular appeal, prominence in a particular field, and is easily recognized by the general public.

A favourite flower of Christian Dior – the designer wore a sprig of it in his buttonhole and sewed it into the lining of dresses before they were worn on the catwalk – lily of the valley is currently enjoying another moment in the spotlight. Or, rather, on the red carpet.

A print using the pretty, bell-shaped white flower is in Dolce & Gabbana's spring collection, and, made into trousers, tops, dresses and even kimonos, it's been adopted by celebrities in a big way. Penny Lancaster wore a shift with the print on it last week, while Kylie Minogue donned a pyjama-style blouse and printed pants for a premiere of The Great Gatsby at the weekend. Helen Mirren has worn her version – a pleated knee-length number – to three different events since last December.

Why is it so popular, and why now? The print appeared in only one look for the brand's spring/summer show but it was used in around 15 designs in the commercial collection, which is traditionally more wearable.
