Summer Nail Trends
Summer is here and it might have caught some of you so fast that you haven’t yet fully updated your summer wardrobe, afterall, we weren’t entirely sure that she would show up! Never fear there is an easy way to update your look instantly, one that can even be done on your lunch hour, the answer lies in your nails.
Designers have released wonderful shades of summer brightness in a bottle and are all available now.
Chanel
I have always used Chanel as my safe go-to for traditional red and pink colours and never really thought of Chanel for up to the minute on trend nail polish shades. Imagine my delight, then, when I saw these were released for Spring Summer:
Les Vernis by Chanel
The coral colour is on trend for summer as it is perfect in shade and texture, while the blue and green are shimmery metallic which seem to change in tone and texture with the light.
YSL
YSL have embraced the fashion world’s love for dip dye tones and come up with a brand new concept, layering three tones in one bottle to get three looks. They are surprisingly easy to use: take the brush out smoothly and paint straight on to nails for a solid coat, swish the coats around for a dip dye look or shake the bottle up to add a shimmer to nails.

In this case it is all about texture, don’t expect a smooth finish.
Dior
Dior nail polishes perform hard and are always my selection when on the go. Perfectly in keeping with the ”girl on the go” Dior have created these twin pairings – two completely different, yet complimentary shades.
Dior Vernis
You can grab them and pair them with very little thought, imagine turquoise on your fingers and pink on your toes or be bold and paint a pinky in a contrast shade.
Lovely shades of summer in a bottle , just in time for flip flop season.
Roberto Cavalli AW13
Every girl loves shoes, and both Elle and I are guilty of having one pair too many, so the feeling we are about to describe will be one that we are sure many of you have experienced. It’s that heart pounding moment when you see a new pair of shoes that you simply must have. It doesn’t matter how practical the shoes are or if, at the back of your mind, you know you might not really wear them that much, they just need to be yours (even just to take out the box and stare at).
This is how we felt when we saw these by Roberto Cavalli for AW2013.
Cavalli has never been known for subtleness and is best known for loud and proud animal prints but this new collection is so wonderfully feminine yet directional. Each shoe looks likes a work of art as the print appears to be done by hand. Cavalli has referenced pottery as his inspiration with the flower pattern deriving from ‘’Capodimont’’ pottery, which has Italian heritage. The colour white dominants on a strong base colour which is a perfect blend of Summer and Autumn as we transition into a new season. The rest of the colour palette itself is taken from the world of porcelain with English pottery making being represented in black, navy, cobalt blue and purple colours. The colours peony and peridot are atypical of Capodiment pottery and are represented in this collection in shades of nude, orange and canary yellow.
These works of art would make such a statement with a cropped black peg leg trouser and we can already picture the boots perfectly tucked into our faithful 7 For All Man Kind skinny jeans. They have a perfectly summery vibe that is so fitting for July but which is certain to cheer up any dark and wintery December. An investment item that updates any wardrobe.
Not that we need any more reasons to make them ours.
Glastonbury 2013 Style
Hi everyone. A very quick introduction from me. I’m Victoria and I will be working with Elle as an editor on her blog. Don’t worry you will still get frequent posts from Elle herself I’m just here to bring you up to the minute fashion trend reports, up and coming product reviews and some insider tips. Each post I write is in collaboration with Elle and is always based on a topic true to her own heart and style. Speaking of which, let’s start with Summer Festivals. . .
It’s the end of Glastonbury 2013 and the cleaners set in to clean up and restore the land to its former glory. The lucky few, with tickets, are now left with a Glastonbury sized hole in their lives but what will always live on, long after daisies are growing again in the fields, is the sweet memories of who wore what. Here is our round up of the best.
Kate Moss is a seasoned festival veteran and knows how to rock effortless festival chic. This year Kate rocked Glastonbury in a brown aviator jacket, skinny black jeans and gorgeous black-heeled boots, full respect for being able to walk around a field in those. While half the Glastonbury population were caked in mud Kate looks effortlessly glamorous yet true to her rock girl heritage.

Sienna Miller returned to her boho roots with a black vest, black shorts and a Technicolor dreamcoat . The oversized hat and wavy hair is reminiscent of Woodstock and is wonderfully romantic and will always be the look Sienna does best.

Millie Macintosh hit fashion headlines as she lost her Glastonburgh V plates (she was there to support her Finance, Professor Green). She took hot-pants, the festival girls staple, but made them her own in leather. Yes, leather, we salute you Millie.

Caroline Flack showed us all why the Brits win the festival style battle in a waxed Barbour jacket and Hunter wellies and if those wellies could talk wouldn’t they have a few stories! Hunters still reined as the festival footwear supreme despite a few rocking a heel.

Finally we can’t conclude without a little nod to couple dressing and who rocked it better than our girl Flo (from Florence and the machine) and her beau. Perfectly coordinated in their prints and John Lennon rounded sunglasses. It’s not like Florence to show her legs and now we see this photo we have to wonder why she doesn’t get those pins out more; epitome of young and in love.
His ‘n her style
Sigh.
For a few days a year, in a field in Glastonbury, the world seems at peace.
