Benefit launching new beauty bar in Harvey Nichols,Birmingham.
Don’t you just love Benefit cosmetics! Where would we be without Benetint to add a bit of colour to our cheeks, or High Beam to highlight those (almost) non-existent cheekbones. For those of you who don’t know the brand, Benefit is a fabulously quirky collection of make-up and beauty must haves that come in the most amazing retro packaging that make them appear to have come direct from a 1950s make-up bag. They bring the fun into make-up, and from September 3rd, they will be available from Harvey Nichols, Birmingham, when a new Benefit bar is opened. This is great news for all beauty fans.

And Kate, as usual, looked amazing. Wearing Alexander McQueen, which seems to have become her design house of choice since the Royal wedding, Kate struck the right chord in looking stylish, but respectful in her dress.

Violent Lips are a range of temporary tattoos that come in a whole range…

Balenciaga’s new fragrance to launch exclusively at Harvey Nichols
When asked to think of a label that exudes style, sophistication and timeless elegance, Balenciaga is sure to spring into the mind. From the days of the legendary Cristobal Balenciaga, who changed the silhouette of women with his tunic dresses and empire lines, to the modern-day innovations of Nicholas Ghesquiere, Balenciaga is synonymous with luxury that for many of us, is unobtainable. But whilst we may not be able to afford the dress, we can buy into the fantasy through the beautiful fragrances. Last year’s Balenciaga Paris was a huge success, and now Balenciaga are about to launch a new fragrance. Balenciaga L’Essence is an intoxicating mixture of violet notes…

Lily Allen weds!
This Saturday saw the wedding of Lily Allen and Sam Cooper, and the surprise but heart warming news that Lily is more than 12 weeks pregnant. All eyes were on the dress, as Lily is known as a vintage aficionado, who has here own vintage clothes shop, Lucy in Disguise, that she co-runs with sister Sarah, and has recently launched her own vintage-inspired line to be sold through Harvey Nichols. Lily is also a sometime muse of Karl Lagerfeld of Chanel, so he was another possible designer name in the frame. As it was, Lily plumped for an exquisite 1920s style dress by French designer Delphine Manivet, that owed something in style…
