A serious eye for style runs in the family for the Middletons. High street shoppers and glossy magazines are not the only ones taking notice.

Fashion mogul, 64-year old Tommy Hilfiger, is reportedly very keen to have Pippa Middleton become the face of his brand.

Having spoken in the past about his desire to dress Duchess Kate herself, the designer appears to have his sights set on the whole brood.

Speaking to Hello! magazine, Tommy himself admitted that he’s already sent her some summer pieces that he hopes she wears.

While Pippa hasn’t worn any of his pieces just yet, the designer has said “she’s a candidate for Tommy Hilfiger”.

Not surprising seeing as Pippa’s personal style is decidedly preppy chic. And that's exactly the kind of look that the Tommy Hilfiger brand favours. Indeed, he has said the pieces he sent her were “the preppy casual summer dresses”.

Not too long ago the party planner paired up with Tabitha Webb for a collection to support the British Heart Foundation.

So she’s no stranger to the world of fashion, and Tommy has previously said how much he admires Pippa’s style and noted that “she’s not as under the microscope”…. meaning she has more freedom to choose what she wears in comparison to sister Kate.

The 31-year old could even end up working with one of her sporting heroes. It’s well known that Pippa is a tennis fan and considering Rafael Nadal has just been become the face of the brand’s forthcoming scent.

The tennis champion is understandably excited about his new gig saying he’s “always admired Tommy Hilfiger’s cool, all-American designs”.

If tennis-lover Pippa does work with the brand it won’t just be her sporting idol she ends up working alongside, Kenall Jenner who walked in the designer’s recent fashion show.

Despite selling an estimated 60million albums globally, she has struggled with body insecurities since finding fame at the age of 21.

Indeed, it's an issue she's been refreshingly open about.

However, appearing yesterday at the Los Angeles Pride, Kesha sparked waves of 'did she/didn't she' surgery rumours – namely because of the shapely derriere she sported.

Wearing a skin-tight, glittering leotard for the performance, she teamed the outfit with knee-high black patent leather boots.

Previously, images of the singer show her with a noticeably different shape – though she has yet to confirm or deny the speculation. 

Kesha was admitted to a rehab facility in January of last year for treatment of an eating disorder. 

The 28-year-old has said that the music industry sets "unrealistic expectations for what a body is supposed to look like".

She added: "I felt like people were always lurking, trying to take pictures of me with the intention of putting them up online or printing them in magazines and making me look terrible."

And in a 2013 interview with Self magazine, in which she stated that she doesn't have "a perfect body," she further explained: 'For me, I like showing off my legs because I work really hard on them.

"So you will rarely find me wearing pants."

However, she admitted that she refuses to weigh herself: "I stay far away from a scale because it's not about a number, it's about how I feel. I try to eat healthy because it makes me feel good."

The LA-native also filed a sexual assault civil suit against music producer Dr Luke, someone she once cited as a mentor, in October.

It is alleged that in the past Dr Luke had drugged her and forced himself on her, threatened to take away her publishing rights and constantly belittled her appearance.

The case is ongoing.

Finally, the sun is appearing from behind those nasty grey clouds. Hurray! Except we may be experiencing a mild panic at the thoughts of getting our summer wardrobes together.

Who can blame us? We spend the majority of our time bundled up in chunky knits and dragging our heels in welly boots.

The Irish summer is a pretty magical occurrence and to help you make the most of it, we rounded some stylish summer outfits to help you stay cool, calm and incredibly chic all summer long. Even if it does only last for a long weekend….

White T-Shirt and Skinny Jeans
Light weight fabrics will keep you cool, plus easy practical style is always a winner. Pair it with a sleek blazer in the evening to stay warm when the sun disappears and also to channel some model-off-duty vibes.

 

Striped Shirt and Cut-off Shorts
If you’re feeling brave enough to bare your legs then this is your go-to summer combo. Perfect for festivals with your favourite sunnies or if you’re finally making that long awaited trip to the beach. Don’t forget the bum-bag, making its fashion comeback, finally.

 

Lace Top and Black Shorts
Give the classic monochrome look a summer make-over and pair your favourite black shorts, or jeans or skirt, with a white lace top. Embrace the Boho style and choose flowing dramatic pieces and some laidback Boho waves for the ultimate summer look. Flower crowns optional, but recommended.

 

Fresh Florals
Pretty seasonal prints bring life to any outfit. Cheerful patterns with some bright colours are pretty much everywhere this season so you should have your pick of the bunch. Grab a panama hat to pair the must-have warm weather accessory with your favourite floral piece for serious summer style.

 

Summer Shoes
Don’t be fooled into thinking you have to sacrifice comfort in the name of fashion. Blisters be-gone! This year sees plenty of comfortable options out there with plenty of street-style icons pairing their summer looks with trendy runners. Comfort and style, winning combination for everyone.

Remember, back in the 00s, when clumpy mascara was an actual trend? Celebs like Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie were often photographed with what looked like a good half-tube of the stuff layered on.

The full lash trend never really went away, though, and celebs like Katy Perry, Girls Aloud and Lilly Ghalichi have cashed in on it big-time with their own range of false lashes. Aside from the endorsed ranges, Kim K has named Ardell Demi Wispies more than once as her falsie of choice – and they really are just amazing.

For a more convincingly natural look, eyelash extensions have become uber-popular among loads of celebs (as well as us mere mortals). Megan Fox, Angelina Jolie and Cheryl Cole are all devotees – they’re fine if you can afford the top-ups, but can look a little funny when falling out.

Brows have most definitely evolved over the years; from the pencil-thin Kate Moss ‘90s brow, to the uber-exaggerated Scouse brow of the ‘00s, to the bushy, Brooke Shields inspired natural brow we’re all loving right now.

Anastasia Soare (more commonly known as Anastasia Beverly Hills) has made her name by grooming celebrity brows, and counts Kim Kardashian, Oprah and Jennifer Lopez as regular clients. Many of them swear by her products; the Dipbrow Pomade and Brow Wiz in particular have a cult following.

Another celeb all too aware of the importance of a good brow is Kelly Osbourne. She’s confessed to over plucking in the past, and even included a brow palette in her MAC collection last year. Of course, the eyebrow icon of the moment has to be Cara Delevigne.

Cara’s made no secret of the fact that her brows are all-natural, and she doesn’t do a whole lot with them day-to-day apart from pluck the odd stray. On shoots, one of her MUAs Wendy Rowe also keeps it simple with Cara’s brows. She says: “Cara has really dark, dense brows naturally, so there's not a lot that I have to do to them to get them looking great. I mainly focus on grooming them and keeping them in position. Elnett hairspray, sprayed onto a M.A.C. Brow Gel to keep them in place—it’s easy to just comb through quickly, and when you have a lots of hair it’s important to fix it in shape as it can become unruly.” Noted.

Deirdre Foley is a history grad, sceptic, wearer of red lipstick and self-confessed 'beauty maniac'. She is also the co-founder of fabulous Irish beauty blog, Viva Adonis.

Looking to reinvent yourself a la Kylie Jenner and her sexy mermaid waves? Need to deal with those nasty split ends?

Fear not! Because we’ve gathered the top tips your hairdresser really wishes you knew – so you can get around to attaining your most magnificent mane EVER.

 

Be realistic

Guilty of passing away the hours glued to our favourite Pinterest boards eyeing up hair porn? Finding inspiration online is no big deal, after all we do it all the time. However, it’s worth remembering that most of those shots are styled professionally for HOURS before hitting our screens. That and the stars are usually sporting high-quality hair extensions and the final looks can often be photo-shopped anyway. So keep your expectations realistic before throwing a strop in the stylist's chair.

Long locks take time

Who doesn’t want those Victoria’s Secret Angel tousled waves? But, they take a lot more work than you think. So have patience! Growing your hair out for a year (or more!), refusing to get it cut will probably only result in the number two blade being brought out to get rid of the resulting dry, damaged and sad tresses. So instead, opt for a trim every month or so – a habit which should mean just the ends will need to be tidied up on each visit.

Mind your manners

Don’t forget basic manners at your next appointment. Arriving on time will help you out in the long run and it’s good for business if customers aren’t left sitting impatiently. There are only so magazines we can read after all. If you’re happy with your new look, don’t forget to leave a tip to say thank you for their hard work.

What are you hiding?

Everyone had that one dodgy style we want to forget. But your hairdresser isn’t going to remember all your hair highs and lows so it’s worth confessing your past mistakes in case you need extra treatments or they can recommend new products to help you look your hair look it’s most fabulous.

Know your colours

Want to lighten up a shade for the summer months? Excellent, but know your stuff before you go full-on blonde bombshell. The process involves removing molecules (melanin) from the hair and your best bet to avoid a shocking reveal is to gradually lighten your colour. And adding light brown dye to dark hair won’t get you anywhere as you’re only adding more dark molecules to the hair. So, best leave the bleach where it belongs and make the trip to your hairdresser instead. Even Kim K went for a re-do after that transformation.

The price of perfection

It’s tempting to avail of the latest deal or go for a bargain-basement salon. And sometimes, you can be lucky and strike gold. But, if you ended up with a dodgy bob (not to mention a broken heart), consider investing in your crowning glory. The same goes for your hair-care products: cheaper brands might leave you feeling richer but your locks would appreciate a little bit more lovin’.  

Love your look? Say it, tweet it, share it on Instagram​​

If you’re walking out the door with a smile on your face and camera at the ready for the inevitable post hair-cut selfie, then don’t forget to spread the word. Hairdressers often rely on word-of-mouth and good reviews keep the business booming, so put those hashtags to good use and give your favourite spot a shout-out, who knows, it could even get you a discount in the future. #winning

You spend weeks preparing your killer festival attire: after all, there are accessories to consider, not to mention outfits for every imaginable weather scenario, as well as footwear, bags, and makeup to plan. 

Then there's hair: very much the crowning glory of your fun and fabulous summer getup. In short, no matter how painfully-cool or bang-on trend your apparel is, your tresses still need to be tantalising.

And with everyone from Lily Allen to Rita Ora, and Katy Perry to Paloma Faith sporting bright and colourful strands, in particular rainbow-hair is going to be the key festival look of 2015.

But if you're unsure as to how to create Coachella-worthy styles, thankfully Great Lengths has done the hard-work for you.

Just follow the easy-peasy steps below, and make sure to watch the video at the end too:

Add a little volumising powder to make your hair easier to work with

 

Plait the hair on one side 

 

It should begin to look like this

 

Hold your first plait in place with a clip and move on to the other side

 

Weave through strands from back of your head

 

Now bring your two plaits together from either side

 

Tie them both together at the back of your neck and secure with a clip

 

Fix any loose strands with clips – but don't worry about making it 'perfect'

 

Now back-comb to create a messy look

 

Ta-da! Perfect festival hair

Kylie and Kendall Jenner have given fans an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at their recent shoot for PacSun.

Shot on location at the opulent Pasadena Princess estate in Beverly Hills back in March, props used include plastic flamingos, topiary animals, crochet sets, tennis rackets, and roller-skates, not to mention giant white poodles.

And they’ve released a seriously funky video from the shoot too: it was put together by Cameron Duddy, the 30-year-old responsible for the likes of Mark Ronson’s Uptown Funk, Bruno Mars’s Locked Out Of Heaven, and Britney Spears’s recent Pretty Girls.

The Dreams In The Dunes collection, which has been driven by Kylie, 17, and Kendall, 19, themselves, is released online by PacSun tomorrow.

It includes plenty of statement fringe, lace detailing, dark denim and gorgeous matching two-piece sets.

The sisters already have a festival-inspired collection with PacSun, with tops coming in around €30, denim shorts at €50, and simple dresses and rompers priced at €40.

Later this year, the Jenner girls furthermore release a clothing line exclusively at Topshop.

It's raining; it's chilly; it's windy. In short, it doesn't look or feel very summery out there. Still, we're pretty much ready for sunshine and warmth – and even if conditions don't pick up anytime soon, we're dead-set on defying our nation's bonkers climate by embracing a spot of warmer weather style.

Everyone has their go-to store for seasonal essentials – but this year we've been pleasantly surprised by the wares on offer at Life Style Sports.

From t-shirts, tank tops, and shorts, to sunglasses, flip flops and trainers, there is a load of seriously cool attire to choose from.

In particular, we are loving the quirky Originals Lotus print playsuit (€55) and the Supercolour shell-toe trainers (€80).

This clothes and accessories might even, whisper it, motivate us to go to the gym more.

Life Style Sports this week said: "Our fashion team has handpicked the hottest summer looks from top international brands to create a really unique and wearable collection," adding that the store's "on-trend pieces will look great at home or abroad and will last long after the season is over".

The 2015 collection is available in 60 Life Style Sports stores nationwide and online at www.lifestylesports.com.

Kim Kardashian has an extreme grooming schedule; every hair is in place, her makeup is always spot-on, and her skin is never anything less than perfect.

Why then, does she struggle to find clothes to fit her? Whether she opts for something too small or too big, Kim seems to all-too regularly get it oh-so wrong.

Kim at her book launch in New York this week 

 

Indeed, just this week – and despite having wowed a day earlier at the Met Ball in a custom-made Roberto Cavalli gown – the reality TV star showed up at her Selfish book launch in New York in an ill-fitting cream skirt that did her few favours. She paired it with a too-tight white lace turtle-neck top.

Mind you, it’s far from the first time that Mrs West has made a fashion mishap – and that’s despite spending hundreds of thousands annually on her wardrobe.

Here, SHEmazing! details Kim’s worst blunders of recent times…

If there is one wardrobe essential all women MUST have, it is definitely a little black dress. You will have it forever, and love it forever. Here are five reasons why you must invest in a LBD.

1. They are timeless
Black is always in fashion and loved by everyone. It will always be in your wardrobe and worn on a regular basis.

2. They go with every colour
You don't need to worry about over wearing it because you can change it up every time. Wear statement silver jewellery this weekend, and gold the next. Same dress, completely new outfit. 

3. They are safe and flattering
Black is perfect for flattering all body shapes and you don't need to stress about spilling your glass of red wine on it because it won't stain. Tan is also not a problem. 

4. You can wear it for different occasions
Black is one of those colours that can be dolled up to look night out ready, but also toned down for office style. You can do so much with a black dress, it all depends on how you choose to style it. Casual or dressy, without the hassle.

5. It can always be your emergency dress
Major occasion coming up but no nice dresses catching your eye? Go and grab that LBD and save yourself a moment of panic.

Involving unmentionables such as breakfast rolls with extra mayo, or two packets of crisps washed down with a sports drink, our breakfasts after a night-out are usually best forgotten.

Not so if you’re a gorgeous presenter, it seems. Laura Whitmore last night hit the decks at the glamorous Magnum Pink & Black launch at The Institute Of Contemporary Art in London – but this morning she was up bright and early for a yoga session. She afterwards shared an image of her post-workout breakfast: a plate of healthy salmon, spinach, poached egg, spirulina flakes, acai honey, cashews, seeds, and avocado.

Laura's healthy breakfast this morning

Laura was joined at the event by Mollie King of The Saturdays, as well as model Jodie Kidd and fellow presenter and fashionista Donna Air, who attended without her long-term boyfriend James Middleton.

Laura took to the decks last night 

Just in time for summer, Mollie has now been announced as the face of the new Magnum range. She wore a full-length dress from Galvan, currently on sale for a cool €960.

Laura herself opted for a gold-coloured playsuit which perfectly showed off her toned legs. All the guests were allowed to indulge in delicious Magnums, dipped in an array of sweet toppings including rose kipetti, and raspberry sprinkles. 

 

Jodie Kidd also attended the event in London

It was the second night-out in-a-row for the Co. Wicklow-native; on Tuesday she attended a Dsquared2 store launch, also in London. Mingling with Pixie Lott and and Liz Hurley, she wore a striking €2,215 patterned skirt from the Canadian label’s spring/summer collection, teamed with a white shirt.
