Welcome to 2009! Whether you're back at work or still on holiday we've got loads of goodies to help keep you feeling the summer love! Click here for a taste of what we've got...
Eva Mendes is one stylish lady and she has great taste in fashion! Feminine swirls, luxe fabrics and lots of haute couture attitude make Miss Mendes a star to watch. We show you how to get her look from top to toe...
Crisp and Clean A slightly casual look with a polished edge, this outfit is great for work or even an afternoon wedding. Eva gets it right by mixing basic crisp clean items in one colour way - the white broderie dress has a casual girly touch but the simple hair and great accessories really lift the look. This is a great example of the KISS rule (Keep It Simple Stupid) in action. What I really love about this look is the length, it’s short but not too short, making it a wearable length for any body. If you are showing that much leg, make sure they are looking in good condition though. Use a great moisturising shave product like Johnson's Shower and Shave. Echo Eva’s tan with a swipe of gradual tanner like Holiday Skin - the fool proof way to summer kissed skin.

A Little Colour A little colour does not necessarily mean bright hues of green or blue. Eva does colour delicately by wearing decidedly feminine champagne shades. I love the pinkish tinged apricot of this gown which complements Eva’s bronzed skin tone so well!

Sweetly Casual Soft flowing shapes make for great day time pieces as well as for a night time look, like Eva is wearing here. Instead of going for a dress, opt for a flowing top and then pair back with denim for a soft yet practical take on day wear.

Glowing Skin It’s hard to talk about Eva without talking about her skin, for me it’s not so much about the bronze (which is delicious!) but more the condition it’s in! Beautiful satiny skin like hers can be hard to achieve, so finding a good exfoliator is key. I really like using an exfoliating brush with my basic product, and this can be a good choice for those whose skin does not like changing between products (1). Those who are targeting blemishes can benefit from a product dosed with natural nastie killers like witch hazel (2) . To get my own skin glowing, I personally swear by Angels on Bare Skin (3) and a quick trip to my beauty salon for a facial and extraction.
