Get the Look: the Oh so Chic Cotton Commercial

The interiors used in the latest Fabric of Our Lives cotton commercial with Leona Lewis are absolutely gorgeous and I'm determined to make the space mine!

The interiors used in the latest Fabric of Our Lives cotton commercial with Leona Lewis are absolutely gorgeous and I'm determined to make the space mine! With Asian-inspired lily wallpaper, a striking red grandfather clock, a green tufted chair, a Hollywood Regency style sconce, horse photography, and a Boston Terrier pillow, it has a perfect, eclectic mix of styles. While the influences are all over the place, the palette is somewhat reserved, with mostly reds and whites and one parfait pop of faded green. The diamond and square door treatment is also quite fantastic and totally doable way to spice up simple doors!

Kate Moss Has a Lovely Ball With Friends in London

Kate Moss was quite the social butterfly at last night's Love Ball in London.

Kate Moss was quite the social butterfly at last night's Love Ball in London. She flitted around greeting and posing with friends like Stella McCartney, Michael Clark, and Mario Testino. Kate has been squeezing in her usual downtime between Fashion Week events, where she's a fun-loving staple. Designers like Diane von Furstenberg and Donna Karan let loose a bit as well to celebrate at the charity event. Sometimes Kate's passion for partying lands her in the headlines, but this time it was Elizabeth Hurley who raised a few eyebrows in her totally see-through sari.

How to Do Retro Without Looking Too Costume-y

Leona Lewis has really amped up her look as of late, and her appearance at the Elle Style Awards showcased a cool vintagey style.

Leona Lewis has really amped up her look as of late, and her appearance at the Elle Style Awards showcased a cool vintagey style. To re-create a throwback look of your own without looking like you're headed to a costume party, don't go for a literal look. Think retro-inspired instead. Check out some of my tips:

  • Modern color: While Leona's bright red lipstick has an Old Hollywood appeal, using an of-the-moment bold coral, the palette suddenly feels fresh and new.
  • Modern touches: The key is to add your own modern touches and techniques by doing something unexpected, such as pairing a notice-me lipstick with a contrasting light shadow. Play down the rest of the look with a pretty pink blush and some standard black liner.
  • Tone it down: Notice how Leona's lightly-tossed-to the side pony gives the look a less-structured feel. Fingerwaves and highly styled looks can work, but a more casual approach will keep you from looking like a Douglas Sirk character.
