Trends Feature: Maggi Sottero evening gown

WOW! The Emmy Awards ("fashion show") was fantastic. For those of you who didn't see the coverage, check out my Emmy blog.

The Awards show inspired me to find glamorous evening pieces, so that's my weeks dedication.

Today, I've found you another beautiful Maggi Sottero evening gown. As I noticed alot of blues and bling at the awards, I found the dress that incorporated both.



This gorgeous encrusted piece is so chic and elegant, you can relax on the accessories. Although if you choose to over load on the diamond bangles like Kim Kardashian, I won't object.

Hype up that hair!

Yesterday was a hectic, long but satisfying day. We styled the 'Hype Coiffure' hair salons portfolio shoot. With up to ten looks to style, the day was anything but boring.

As the hair looks will be featured in the Wahl Hair Awards, we cannot show you any of the hairstyles, but we love you so much that we put together a little bit of the backstage fashion pics (with their hair purposely cut off, of course!)

So look out for the full editorial pics, which we'll bring to you some time in November! (We can't wait that long either!)

Ladies (& Men) in Red

This week I'm creating a 'Ladies (& men) in Red' theme. Although the weather's not red hot, I was inspired by 'Good girl but really bad!' Rihanna's fiery new mane.

So this week I'm asking you to send in your red hot pics to: shine@twynkleloves.com or you can upload them on my facebook page, to show me your ways of using red in fashion. This can be in make up, hair, accessories, clothes or shoes.

I'm setting no limits and I'll upload my favourite pics to the blog daily. So make it hot! xx

Trends Feature: H&M Print Jumper Dress

Today I was out & about and spotted this simple but chic print jumper dress from H&M.

Try gold accessories and slim line belt for a sparkly finishing touch.

International Salute: Manish Arora

Today we feature ‘Indian’ fashion designer Manish Arora, who creates the ultimate dazzling collections. Mixing traditional Indian techniques with western silhouettes is what gives this master of fantasy his edge, using embroidery, applique and beading.
Aroras designs are not able to go unnoticed as the bright psychedelic colours have you hooked from the initial gaze, the sculptured pieces have you fantasizing about the perfect figure and his extravagant body art accentuates the fine details.

The attention to detail is what has brought Manish Arora so far, having shown at London fashion week since 2005 and Paris Fashion week since 2008 and has allowed him to collaborate with sportswear leader Reebok to produce the successful 'Fish Fry' line since 2005.

Regarded as the John Galliano of India, Manish Arora has a strong following and great recognition in the industry with five flagship stores in Delhi and Mumbai and is stocked at 84 stores worldwide, including Dover Street Market, Harrods, Maria Luisa and Saks Dubai.

Having quickly conquered India, Arora is steadily making waves in the western world and it’s a good thing too because we’re so loving his designs.
