Diesel has recently announced the launch of the blue revolution, which comes in the shape of their extremely sexy denim collection.

The all-new and innovation jeans are in fact designed to fit your attitude as well as you figure, which results in an extremely flattering wardrobe essential for all!

The collection has launched a total of six styles so far.  These six styles come in the shape of the Highkee 69P style, the Bootzee 0060D, the Flairlegg 0888Z, the Myguy 0668S and the Grupee8880I.

The Grupee envisions that ‘look at me’ attitude and is an easy style to pop on either day or night.  No girl can go wrong with this super sexy fit, which comes in a slim-leg style.  They also come in a few different shades including pearl grey, a black shade and a distressed wash.  These are certainly one pair of jeans that are guaranteed to make you the centre of attention on all occasions.

Thje Grupee 88801 jeans are priced at £210 and are available from any stocking the Diesel brand nationwise.

The classic straight cut, otherwise known as the highkee allows those that wear such a style to don their inner Marilyn.  The cut has been inspired by the 50’s and the slim straight cut legs and high waist give the wearer a sexy and curvy effect, emphasising your silhouette both front and back.

The Highkee jeans are also available from the Diesel brand.

The iconic flair is another look to invest in if you fancy taking a step back in time.  This infamous style seems to come back into fashion more than it goes out.  In order to rock that 70’s vibe to full effect, don the flares with your highest platforms.   The Flairlegg from Diesel offers a pair of jeans designed with the perfect flair and chino style pockets, complete with an unfinished hem.

This season is welcoming colour with open arms, especially on the runway of Jason Wu.  The designer of the season opted to use MAC for his recent catwalk show.

MAC make-up artist Diane Kendall used an eye catching emerald green shade on the model’s eye sockets.  This was in order to pay homage to the Ming Dynasty.  This is exactly what Wu himself wished to create as he too paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty with his current collection.

Prabal Gurung followed suit and also sought the help of top-name make-up artists to create an emerald green feel.  Such a look is very eye-catching and really makes the eyes pop!

Charlotte Tilbury was the make-up artist in question.  She used a range of MAC cosmetics to create the look, which in turn resembled a scarab beetle inspired effect.  Dual tone green was used with a hit of blue on the eye sockets.

Other designers that really went to town on the make-up front included Estee Lauder.  The high fashion house had the help of the colour connoisseur Tom Pecheux.

Derek Lam smoked the eyes out using a deep purple shade.  The end result was something extremely dramatic that certainly turned a few heads on the runway.

If bright eyes are not your thing, why not opt for a bright lip instead!  These were showcased at the runway of Victoria Beckham and also at Thakoon.  Diane kendel was the make-up connoisseur in question and worked with matte acid blocks of colour in hot hues.

Both of the above designers have never taken this colourful road before, it certainly created an impact however!

Now we will just have to wait and see whether the Autumn shows follow suit and opt too for a paint box style of effects!  This is certainly the season to be doing the bright thing!  Head down to your local beauty counter today and get experimenting with a few different colours.

If your work wardrobe is looking tired, it can affect how confident you feel and even how seriously you are taken, so why not invest in some key pieces to see you through autumn and winter in style?

While you ‘might’ want to be seen in your seductive Calvin Klein lingerie, chances are you are looking for more than sex appeal! Although this line of under garments a chic and fashionable, they are also manufactured to wear well, last longer and provide the comfort you need that is so lacking in most lingerie. There really is no need to sacrifice comfort for style and Calvin Klein is here to prove just that!

For instance, nothing is more comfy in casual wear than a T-shirt, but most bras are not made to be virtually undetected under those jersey knits. In the Calvin Klein collection there are two bras that bear mentioning and they are the Garnet Floral T-shirt bra and Perfectly Fit Tailored T-shirt bra, both of which retail for prices under $50. That might sound expensive for a bra, but when you factor in the comfort and support you need under those clingy blouses, you really do get what you pay for.

But what is a sexy bra without matching panties? To match the Garnet Floral bra there is an ultra sexy Garnet Floral thong that has a floral lace band around the hips and just the smallest bit of fabric covering that most intimate part of the anatomy. More reasonably priced is the matching panties for the Perfect Fit bra which are available in two styles, bikini and hipsters.

When it comes to lingerie, you really do get more than style when you purchase designer under garments. Although sexy, designer underwear is simply made from superior fabrics which will last for much longer periods of time. In fact, even though you initially pay more for any one of Calvin Klein’s under garments, you will probably still own them when they no longer fit, years down the road!
