Warehouse Summer trend alert!

We love it when you girls make an effort to look the part when attending our castings and we couldn’t help but notice the Summery twist on the basic model uniform while in Manchester last week. Our favourite looks spotted in the Style Studio were florals, pastels and pale denim, all bang on trend for this season and perfectly accessorised with Warehouse key pieces such as a gorgeous fringed bag...ideal for the festival season! Check out these highlights from the Manchester Style Studio and to start working on your Summer Wardrobe and to see the full image gallery go to http://www.warehouse.co.uk/

Feeling Friendly for Friendship Necklaces

Friendship necklaces are totally it right now. The main reasons they seem to be popping up everywhere are that 1) they are adorable 2) they remind us of our childhood 3) they have to be handmade, meaning that every one is unique and that makes us feel special. All 3 of these reasons are also why I am 150% pro-friendship necklace. There are a lot of options out there, but my favorites are by Kate who designs For Me, For You and Caroline who designs Brvtvs.

Erdem Nails: April Showers Bring Nail Flowers

After doing a couple of rounds of nails inspired buy Miu Miu collections, I got started thinking about which other collections I loved and which ones had clear themes that could be translated more abstractly. Erdem's Spring 2010 collection immediately popped into my head. How awesome would it be to take the springy painterly florals and try to do that on nails? That's why I was so excited when I found myself at a Claire's in an outlet mall in Virginia. Hello flower nail stickers. I bet you didn't imagine you'd be used by a 24-year old going for the Erdem S/S 2010 look, did you?

EML's weekend in Manchester!

When the Elite Model Look team stepped off the train in Manchester we were overwhelmed...firstly by the scale of the Trafford Centre (absolute retail HEAVEN) and secondly by the incredibly high standard of potential models that applied over the two day casting. Thanks to Samsung Diva’s, Warehouse style inspiration in the Style Studio, Toni & Guy hair excellence and Eylure lashes, we left Manchester with ten fabulous winners who we literally can’t wait to see at the next stage of the contest!
