Not such a Poor little Rich girl!

Following a recent image transformation from Barbie Girl to Dominatrix which was backed by a walkout midway through a recent TV interview with ABC, it is rumoured that Paris Hilton's perfume line alone is worth US$1.3 billion!

She can definitely afford not to take shit from anyone!

Lovebox and Latitude – is it possible to stay stylish in the rain!


Festival lovers will know that the weekend that just passed was a big one for UK Festivals.   Lovebox, the East London boutique music festival was held this weekend, as well as the more theatrical Latitude Festival in Suffolk.   As usual, the British summertime weather was trying its best to dampen everybody’s spirits with two days of glorious rain!  So spare a thought for all the festival goers over the weekend who had to contend with the rain and mud whilst attempting to retain their image of cool festival chic.

We were most amused by Alexa Chung’s fashion tip for the weekend; “wrap up warm”, well that kind of goes without saying Alexa…..

Also we can’t quite work out just what look Beth Ditto was after, with this giant green poncho piece! Maybe an homage to Kermit the Frog? Who knows!



Below are a few of our favourite style picks of the weekend!

'Look Reem, Smell Reem, Be Reem'

 Thursday - As an homage to the cast of Shrek. especially Amanda Holden, our very own Hayley Allen (who saw the performance on Wednesday night) insisted that the website team post this picture of her being Shrek'ed.
Wednesday - New Miss Patina stock arrived today and is already on the website for you to see.



Tuesday - Violet Hill/MyViolethill.com went into sale. The Lupo bags are proving to be very popular !

Sale time!

Its that time of year again, when many of our brands including Dyberg/Kern, Forever Unique, Lola Rose to name but a few have an amazing 25% discount. Today Violet Hill has been buzzing with excited customers reaching sale fever. I have chosen a selection of my favorite items in the sale to share with you online.



I am loving the Jovonna Feather Maxi Dress teamed with a gorgeous pair of Dyberg/Kern earrings, the Drancine set in Shiney Gold with the matching Lilalia bracelet compliments it well.



Whilst looking through all the amazing Angel Jackson collection i came across the Feather Tote bag with studs and chain detail. The individual design caught my eye, with a mix of boho chic and daytime glamour, this tote combines beautiful long feathers with black leather and a large gold studded section with an exposed chain around the opening.



Be the envy of all your friends and place your order now!

The Duke of Essex Polo...

Is it true the Duke of Essex Polo is going to be renamed the Annual Re-union of Jordan's Exes? Her own personal polo team of four of her exes arrived at the bash at Gaynes Park, Epping. Unfortunately the Captain herself had failed to inform them that she was actually playing at a match in Wiltshire and therefor team Jordan had to withdraw much to our disappointment. (Take a moment to visualise the four handsome stallions below trying to play polo)


Aside from that it was lovely to see the TOWIE girls out in force promoting Essex as only they know how!



Our inside source said a great day was had by all! (Although we dont think she actually remembers much at all!)

Autumn/Winter 2011 What's HOT ...

Trends for Autumn/Winter 2011 range from Fetish to Forties Glamour. Other trends include Super Glam, Jewel tones, Print and Pattern and the Sixties Scene.

Revolving around the pencil skirt the Forties Glamour includes fur, pearls, gloves and shrugs. Think classic Chanel.



Fashion's palette has moved on from summer's acid brights and paintbox pots of colour into the sumptuous realm of jewel tones for Autumn Winter. Amethyst, sapphire, emerald, ruby and garnet have the power to make you feel sensuous and sophisticated.



The Sixties has always been a favourite era for fashion to draw inspiration from. Fashion has gone back in time leaving the summer of obsession with the 70's and replacing with a fascination with all things 'Mod'. Imagine the doe eyed look of Twiggy and Edie Segdwick and the supreme style of fashion icon Mary Quant.

Fashion goes A-List......

Have you noticed the current trend for A-List celebrities creating their own fashion lines - Project D by Danni Minogue, L.A.M.B. by Gwen Stefani, Forever Unique by Alex Gerrard and House of Dereon by Beyonce and Tina Knowles. Probably the most famous A-List celebrity in the UK having their own fashion brand is Victoria Beckham. The Former Spice Girl is adding another less expensive line called 'Victoria' by Victoria Beckham to her already successful collections. Hubby David Beckham is also due to release his underwear line later on this year!



Following Beyonce's fabulous performance at Glastonbury we can't wait for the House of Dereon collection to hit town as it will be launched with a bang at Selfridges in September. Shortly after that it will be found in stores across the UK.

Here at Violet Hill we are currently stocking dresses from the Forever Unique by Alex Gerrard collection. They are absolutely Gorgeous!



Celebrity collections always seem to do well - probably because the A-List star behind them is always in the press!
