Goldenballs for Elle!

Today it has been revealed that Elle magazine will feature David Beckham as its first solo male cover star.

Now, Its no surprise that I love a bit of Becks oggling - I did a post in January about his underwear range for H&M (http://www.lipstickglamour.blogspot.co.uk/2012/01/david-beckham-for-h.html).

For the cover, photographer Doug Inglish decided to replicate that memorable moment where Daniel Craig made his way out of the sea in those swim shorts. Eye candy much?

Itsy Bitsy Bikinis...Really?

I recently stumbled across this month's German Vogue cover featuring supermodel Carolyn Murphy in a gorgeous tangerine swimsuit, photographed by the well respected fashion photographer - Alexi Lubomirski. I adore this image for three reasons: 1) It instantly made me want to go on holiday 2) I love how the swimsuit is striking (orange is the perfect colour to compliment a tan...that is unless you have a tendency to turn lobster red) and 3) It fits in well with this season's trends.

Miss Metallic

Whilst we thought the metallics of the winter season were long gone, it seems the ever-changing fashion industry has surprised us once again. This S/S season brings a new meaning to the golds, silvers and bronzes we once associated with tinsel and various other sparkling decorations. 

In fact, with the Summer sunshine fast approaching us (we hope), these metallic colours are a perfect match for our newly bronzed bodies. 

The trend really came to the fore at last week's Met Ball, with celebrities such as Jessica Alba, Cameron Diaz, Carey Mulligan and Camilla Belle all looking fabulous in various shades of liquid metal. 

The Met 2012

Well, what can I say about this year's Met Gala... WOW. 

For the first time I managed to stay awake and watch this year's celebs and icons of the fashion industry walk down that famous piece of red carpet, elegantly flaunting beautiful dresses that I can only wish to ever own.
