Rihanna is searching for Britain’s most exciting new Fashion designers!

Rihanna is searching Britain for the next generation of raw, undiscovered designer talent and has hand-picked Girls Aloud star Nicola Roberts to head up the challenge for her.

Over eight weeks twelve unknown designers will be challenged by Rihanna and Nicola to create outfits for a string of musicians and celebrities. The show will celebrate the extraordinary talent and creativity in the British fashion scene. With Rihanna, a fashion icon herself, and Nicola, who created her own Dainty Doll make-up range, at the helm, the show will recognise the increasing influence popstars have on mainstream trends.

The final challenge and ultimate task for the winner will be to design a unique stage outfit for Rihanna’s Wireless performance in Hyde Park in July 2012. The chance to dress one of the world’s most famous women for an event that will attract worldwide coverage is the perfect springboard for the aspiring designer’s future fashion career.


Executive producer, Rihanna said:

“I’ve always had a great love of fashion. It’s a constant source of inspiration in my life, and is a big reason why I’ve grown into the person and artist I am today. I have been very fortunate to work with some truly amazing designers and stylists throughout my career, and they have been instrumental in making sure my creative vision reaches the stage. I am excited to follow the journey of our aspiring contestants and see how their individuality influences their efforts during the course of the show.”

Nicola added: “I’m so excited for us to get started on finding a new up and coming British designer who just needs a chance, a little bit of help in getting their skills noticed. There are talented people, undiscovered because they don’t have the means, or their circumstances are too far away from the fashion world. This show is here to discover those people and give them a shot. I’m looking for someone who can think outside the box, and who isn’t going to give up at the first hurdle”

Applications must be received by Sunday 5th February. Filming takes place over 8 weeks in the UK from April 2012.

Kiss Lashes truly are the business!!

So if your lashes are anything like mine...ridiculously curly... making the experience of adding on a pair of false lashes rather terrifying, then fear no more, Kiss Lashes have the definitive answer!!! No more spending countless hours trying to figure out how all the how-to-add-false-lashes vloggers do it! Kiss have come up with an amazing concept to save you time and enable you to join the glam pack and all for under £6!!!

The Kiss Ever Easy lashes are an absolute god send. They give you the easiest application of false lashes EVER! With a patented technology you simply pick your style, apply glue to the lash and place over the eye-lid by holding the strings. Once completely dry, hold the lash in place and gently tug on the longer strand of the red string. You’ll find that they slide out so easily and leave you with a perfectly applied lash- no sticky fingers, tweezers or cotton buds needed!

What’s more, Kiss Ever Easy Lashes are made from real hair, which means you can apply mascara, clean with make up remover, and re-use whenever you like. There are a total of 10 styles to choose from including a subtle daytime look, fifties pin-up glamour, A List luxe and full on drama.

Happy New Year!

“When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.” – Alexander Graham Bell ________________________________________________________________

I just wanted to wish everyone a fantastic 2012!!

2011 has truly been an amazing year and challenging year with the continued recession hitting many. Although I am one to constantly say “Gosh where does the time go??” When looking back and reflecting on the year, I actually realised that so much had happened and the most important thing is to appreciate we made it through to 2012! Many didn’t and I sometimes feel we don’t appreciate this statement enough.

Below are just some of my 2011 memories in pics :)

Looking forward to charing my 2012 with you all !

Enjoy!

BEYONCE SPARKLES IN RALPH & RUSSO COSTUMES ADORNED WITH SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS ON HER FIRST TV SPECIAL

A few years ago I got to work with the Amazing Ralph and Russo Duo at the La Dolce Vita event in Olympia which I was manging and one thing I could say is this brand has been amazingly consistent with their show stopping creations! So when I heard Beyonce wore some of their fabulous pieces on her recent show ' “A Night With Beyoncé” on ITV1' I surely was'nt surprised but very proud :)


Sixteen-times Grammy Award winner Beyonce wowed the audience in her first ever TV special “A Night With Beyonce”, which aired on ITV1 last Sunday 4th December. The singer dazzled in two Swarovski encrusted costumes designed by luxury couture house Ralph & Russo.

Ralph & Russo used over 50,000 SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS to create the sensational costumes - a daring nude mesh bodysuit covered in smoke blue Swarovski crystal, and a dramatic red leather flared skirt with bronze metallic cut out corset also embellished with thousands of crystals.

Designers Tamara Ralph and Michael Russo commented on this exclusive collaboration: “Both outfits were designed especially with Swarovski Elements to help create a fun, edgy feel for her show.”


The superstar performed some of her greatest and best known hits as well as tracks from her latest album, "4".

Catching-up with Interior Design Shop Owner Jane Trozzo,,,

With Christmas round the corner I had the privilege of interviewing Jane Trozzo, the fabulous lady behind Janetrozzo.com to find out all about her Fabulous Stylish products ...

1) What inspired you to make the transition from florist to interior design shop owner?

Ever since I was young I have always been passionate about design in any form. I love creating and designing whether that is with flowers or about the house with homes and gardens accessories. Setting up www.janetrozzo.com just seemed like a natural and logical step to take after working as a florist and another way for me to share my love of design with others. I still do floristry even now and janetrozzo.com just gives me another outlet for design. I am glad I took the step!

2) What makes janetrozzo.com unique from other sites?

janetrozzo.com is different because of our ability to source stylish decorative items, that aren't easily found on the high street. I have always liked things that are hard to find and make other people say: Ohhh!?? Where did you get that!? That is the essence of janetrozzo.com and always will be. I love researching home and garden accessories and putting together collections that will really add something distinct to people's homes. I try to stock products that people will fall in love with immediately and hopefully add something special to their homes!

3) What is your best selling product at present?

Currently our best selling product is the Sunflower Mirror and has been for about 3 months. It’s antique gold effect and just looks amazing! It really does have that ‘WOW’ factor and I guess why people keep buying it! It’s large at 34 ½ diameter and made from metal and glass and just looks stunning! A real head turning addition to anyone's home, literally!

4) What can we expect from janetrozzo.com in the near future?

To keep sourcing new and unusual products and to keep designing new ones myself! The Christmas range , and I designed 15 new items. I am already receiving some very encouraging feedback! There is a red ruffle heart, made from felt, a red ruffle Christmas tree, which is very popular and then the rest of the range includes pot pourie, garlands and cinnamon sticks. Designing my own range of products is like creating with flowers, only now also products for the home and garden!

Friday Night with the Fabulous Kelly Rowland :) ...and a Snake Lady :S

The event took place at the exquisite 141 Club in London Mayfair. My good friend Seb manages the venue so it was so much fun and he went the extra mile to ensure everything I needed was sorted immediately :)
