SAVANNAH MILLER AND ARTIST ROSE WYLIE IN CONVERSATION
Last night we found ourselves truly inspired at Westbourne Grove Church at ‘Savannah Miller and artist Rose Wylie in Conversation’ – an event hosted by the Friends of the National Museum of Women in the Arts, UK.
The evening marked the most recent Twenty8Twelve guest artist collaboration where Rose has designed two original t-shirt prints for Autumn/Winter 2010. Every season Sienna and Savannah search for and support an emerging artist whose work they admire; their work is then included on the swing tags of all Twenty8Twelve garments sold globally.
76 year old Rose Wylie is a talented artist who has recently been included in the ‘Women to Watch’ exhibition by the National Museum of Women in the Arts at Washington DC.
Throughout the discussion, Savannah and Rose described how their partnership came to be, citing key moments that resulted in the final designs.
The evening continued at the flagship Twenty8Twelve store on Westbourne Grove where Rose has also designed a window installation for the season. Her compelling artwork is on display and available to buy until the New Year.

NARS PURE MATTE COLOUR MATCHING AT SELFRIDGES
Yesterday saw 22 of our favourite beauty bloggers treated to an evening of champagne and all things matte at the NARS Pure Matte colour matching event, held at Selfridges Oxford Street. Celebrating the release of NARS’ brand new Pure Matte Lipstick available in 6 to-die-for shades (We’re already collecting), bloggers were colour matched to their perfect Pure Matte shade, from the palest nude of ‘Tashkent’ to the deepest rouge of ’Volga’ by one of three NARS stylists at the pop-up NARS counter on Selfridges 3rd floor. Lucky enough to be matched by one of the talented NARS team, I have fallen utterly in love with blushing rose shade ‘Tonkin’…
The NARS Pure Matte lipstick range is available now exclusively at Selfridges during September before rolling out nationwide; visit the NARS counter to be matched to your perfect shade and check out the Pure Matte video featuring the gorgeous Heather Marks as the face of the NARS Pure Matte campaign we posted yesterday below.

NARS Infinite Reflections - Behind the Scenes from Modus Publicity on Vimeo.
NARS announces the release of its first short film, Pure Matte: Infinite Reflections, to celebrate the launch of this fabulous collection of lip treats.
The film’s director Tim Richardson created a bold and glamorous film, featuring model Heather Marks, based on the original Pure Matte campaign, photographed by François Nars. “I wanted to combine two essential qualities of NARS. One is the graphic, strong nature of the brand, and the other is the idea of iconic glamour,” said Richardson.

MUTED TREATS FOR THE HANDS AND FEET!
It’s that time of the year again. The leaves start to fall, the temperature drops and nails inc. bring out another gorgeous new collection of Autumn/Winter season’s must-have shades.
The A/W trend reports are complete and the verdict is in. This season the overwhelming message from the dazzling world of haute couture is clear; the hottest must-have colours are variations of black, particularly an array of gorgoeus grey tones. Never one to let a fashionista down, nails inc. have got this trend covered (and glossed!) with their new range of darker, muted shades to compliment the luscious hues spotted on this season’s catwalks.
These four limited edition colours also boast THE must have nail colour for A/W - Lowndes Square. This perfect shade of lilac mink will, without fail, make every ‘look’ sizzle this winter!
