Known for her effortless glamour and perfect make up, it was only a matter of time before Palermo created her own line of make-up. The former reality star has teamed up with Ciate London and debuted their fall color collection at Sephora in Times Square two weeks ago.
Wearing a stunning Misha Nonoo monochrome dress and ankle boots by Freda Salvador, Palermo couldn't have looked chicer and cooler. Perfect New York attire.
Victoria's Beckham's new RW 2016 collection was a definite departure from her previous collections. She says her transatlantic lifestyle of living in London, traveling to LA and raising a family hasn't totally influenced her collection but told WWD before her show that it's "subliminal. You see it there."
All of Victoria Beckham's collections have had classic fuss free lines with beautiful tailoring. However each collection has become less body-con, still with classic tailoring and simple silhouettes, but this collection more than any has more casual flowing cuts and a mix of materials perfect for spring. With calf length skirts and dresses, low cut v's paired with flats, this collection gave way for a much lighter, carefree and more ethereal collection.
Also another departure for Victoria and perhaps the most surprising was the patterns and pops of color she used. Unlike her previous collections using only classic patterns or none at all, this collection used a mix of patches of brighter patterns, gingham and much bolder colors. Some even adorned with images of surfers, others with a mix of patterns.
Overall this collection I believe will appeal to a much broader audience, with much easier to wear pieces. Some beautiful key pieces you can mix and match with items in your own wardrobe and even more that you can throw in a suitcase for a chic holiday. Bring on spring! Scroll down for the full collection.
Victoria landed at JFK today and certainly didn't go unnoticed in a hot pink sleeveless top and and matching flared trousers, with a pair of platforms underneath. The singer turned designer is in NY ahead of this years Mercedes Benz fashion week.

In other VB related news, the Spice Girls 20 year anniversary is coming up. The other band members seem keen to reunite in honor of it, with both Mel B and Geri Halliwell saying in interviews there have been talks about it. However it has also been rumored that Victoria has already opted out. She's frequently spoken about her time with the Spice Girls fondly however she's always ended the statements saying that time of her life is over, and she has other passions and concentrations now, namely being a successful designer. The last time the band performed together was at the Closing Ceremony of 2012 London Olympics. Although it was a great opportunity for the band, VB did look somewhat uncomfortable throughout the promotion and performance and does seem much more comfortable in her new role as a designer. I have a feeling that the Spice Girls will just reunite without her.. Watch this space!
Kendal was also out and about with good friend Haley Baldwin last week.
Whilst in Paris, as well as visiting vintage store Didier Ludot, I also love going to Rue Boissy D'angais, one of paris' most coveted shopping locations. Home to the flagship store of Hermes and with other stores such as Lanvin it's definitely a fashion lovers dream. During my last trip to Paris I visited Anne Fontaine, a store which really fits my own style. Anne Fontaine, a Brazilian designer opened her first boutique in Paris in 94'. She started with a simple white classic shirt and since has begun designing other clothes and really created a lifestyle brand. Filled with easy to wear trousers, unique capes and coats it's a beautifully classic place to shop and you'll be sure to have the pieces in your wardrobe ten years from now. They are investment pieces that whilst being comfortable and easy to wear and will still look relevant 10 years from now. You'll feel like you've taken a piece of Parisian chic with you.
I purchased two items in the Anne Fontaine store. One was this cape jacket. It's classic and reverasable so you actually have two items for the price of one! The black side is for more every day and you can reverse it and have the white side for more of a wow factor.
The cape seen here on the right in the window. Belted through the centre it gives you a great shape and can be thrown over jeans and gives you instant chic look.
The second piece I bought was this sleeveless dress/ over trouser waistcoat. Again it's a wonderfully classic piece that can be worn either as a dress with a slip or black skirt underneath with a black vest tucked in. I've already worn mine as a dress and over jeans for a totally different look. This picture is from the Anne Fontaine website, but I've been wearing mine with a thick black belt around the centre to give it more shape.
I've already worn both these pieces and absolutely love them!
