Retro Thigh High Socks

Now you would of heard of the trend for thigh high boots this autumn, but thigh high socks? They are available at American Apparel in a whole host of colours from girly pink to neutrals like black and grey. I am a fan of the sporty stripes that edge the top, retro cool with an exuberance of glamour. Perfect for lounging around in at the weekend with a vest dress or worn out to give your outfit an unexpected twist.

Eau Mega Victor and Rolf Fragrance

October sees the launch of Eau Mega, the second fragrance from Victor and Rolf. Their debut perfume Flower Bomb developed a huge following and no doubt this will have the same effect. Encapsulated in a glamorous bottle with an integrated gold bulb spray with notes of violet leaf, jasmine and basil, who could resist?

The advertising campaign features model Raquel Zimerman depicted as a super heroine in New York. Eau Mega will be available in 30ml, 50ml and 75ml from £43.

There is no denying that tea towels have taken a back seat in our kitchens for too long, well things are about to change thanks to Sally and Dave of Todryfor.com.

With over 100 original designs printed in a spectrum of colours tea towels are no longer dreary; they might even encourage you to do the dishes.

Long Gloves

Long gloves are a must have for two reasons this winter, they keep the frost bite at bay whilst instantly turning you into a glamour puss...well they are a few notches up from magic gloves! Online check out ASOS for elbow gloves a plenty. If you prefer stud detailing and exposed zips visit River Island and Reiss to satisfy your inner rock chic.

Neon Delights

Summer days may be a distant memory but there's no need to drape yourself in black just yet. The neon trend is here to stay, take inspiration from the chain print neon leggings by Alexandra McQueen www.mywardrobe.com or trade in your black opaques for a fluro pair.

This photo from an editorial by Ralph Pulmann shows off neon colours beautifully. These vivid multi-colour lips are fun and definitely worth trying out, makeup palette at the ready for some luscious tropicana lips!
