Victoria's Secret 2010 Fashion Show >

Last night was Victoria's Secret Lingerie Fashion show in New York! 

I think they are the most amazing and fun shows - check out these fabulous photos below ♥

Katy Perry opened this year's Victoria's Secret fashion show in spectacular style, rocking colourful PVC outfits! She sang a medley of her hits, including Fireworks, Teenage Dream and California Gurls.

Some of the themes of the night were the exotic "Wild Things," the heavy metal-infused "Tough Love," the flirty "Pink Planet," the sports-themed "Game On," and the wholesome-but-not-really "Country Girls."Left: Candice Swanepoel & Right: Adriana Lima modeling a $2 million fantasy bra by Damiani!

Designed in collaboration with Italian jeweller Damiani, and containing more than 3,000 jewels, the piece took six craftsmen 1,500 hours of work to complete.

Adriana looked amazing returning to the catwalk after having her daughter only a year ago! 

Lais Ribeiro strutted down the runway along with 'warrior' male models

There were a few notable absences from the parade.

Heidi Klum this year decided to bow out of her affiliation with the Victoria's Secret label after 13 years.

'Obviously, it's different,' said Ambrosio, when asked about Klum's departure.

'I miss the way she walks and her laugh and her personality,' Lima said.

Miranda Kerr, who is expecting her first child with actor Orlando Bloom, sat the night out too.

Pregnant Doutzen Kroes, who married to DJ/producer Sunnery James this week, was also understandably otherwise engaged.

The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show screens on CBS on November 30 in the U.S.

Will you watch it? xoxo

Winter Must Have: The Camel Coat

As the weather gets a bit more chilly, it is always important to invest in a beautiful coat. The easiest easy way to upgrade your wardrobe, stay on trend AND make a fabulous fashion investment right now? Look no further than a camel coat - the most elegant way to keep warm this winter. 

Hands-down, camel, is the “it” color of the moment, although, camel will always be a Fall/Winter staple. The popularity of the camel coat heralds the trend of minimalism and back-to-basics that many designers have embraced this season. The camel coat is an invest that can be worn year after year! This versatile neutral can be paired with almost any item in your wardrobe. Wear it in the style of a bohemian jetsetter with a pair of jeans, gypsy blouse and over-the-knee boots or dress it up with a classy pair of gray trousers, skinny belt and cashmere boyfriend sweater to up the chic factor. This color can be worn essentially by anyone. If you feel you are bit too pale to wear camel, look into a camel coat that is a bit more of a warmer tone. I think the camel-coat will never really go out of style and you will not be sorry to invest in one!

Of course I couldn't resist and had to get myself this ultimate Autumn/Winter Must-Have: 

♥ Funnel neck coat by Mango. Featuring belted waist with buckle and pockets to the side.

Available 

online at MANGO or ASOS

♥ Bootleg jeans by ZARA

♥ Snakeskin print heels by ZARA

Camel coats on the runway this fall:

Clockwise from top left: two looks from each by Chloe, Michael Kors, and DKNY. 

Michael Kors says that “camel looks indulgent like winter white but has the pragmatism of gray and black. It’s the best of both worlds. … A camel coat evokes throwaway glamour.” 

I'm definitely loving this trend - are you?

Topshop Lazy Days FOTD

When browsing the cosmetics section at Topshop a few weeks ago I picked up one of their eye pencils. I got the crayon in 'Lazy Days'. I was drawn to it because it reminded me of NARS Night Star eyeshadow, which has been on my lust list for yonks!

Topshop describes it as: Chunky eyeshadow pencil with glitter for shading, lining and defining eyes. 
Its available on the Topshop website for £6

I created a FOTD recently using the Lazy Days Crayon:

♥ Eyes:
Urban Decay Primer Potion
Topshop Lazy Days Crayon (all over lid)
MAC Wedge e/s (crease & lower lashline)
MAC Engraved eyeliner (waterline)

Barry M liquid liner in black (upper lashline)
MAC Maybelline Colossal Volum' Express Mascara

♥ Lips:
YSL Rouge Volupte in Lingerie Pink

What I think of this product? It's a nice and creamy pencil that applies smoothly and is easy to blend. I really love the soft pink/nude colour with its slight gold glitters (which unfortunately don't seem to photograph that well, grrr). The only downfall is that when using this crayon as an eyeshadow it's perhaps a little too creamy and doesn't really 'set' into a powder finish. I used a primer but still found it smudged, creased and faded after only a few hours. Therefore I think this pencil is great for a day look but not ideal for if you are going out at night because think due to heat of bars etc this would smudge and fade too much. 

Do you have any of the Topshop pencils and what do you think?
