Katie Holmes - Understated Chic!

So it turns out Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise’s marriage didn’t turn out to be what Hollywood dreams are made of.

I’ve seen many girlfriends go through what  I like to call ‘Post Break Up Make Under’ where suddenly they no longer care about what they look like. They are so overcome by sadness that the thought of getting out of their trackies and ugg boots is enough to send them straight back to bed.

Well this clearly isn’t the case for Ms Katie Holmes.

The days following her divorce settlement, she was seen out and about with daughter Suri and mum Kathleen looking in high spirits and naturally chic.

The former Mrs Cruise has in the past been criticised for her wardrobe choices, with many saying she was become quite the dag, but it looks as though becoming a divorcee works for her!

Want Katie’s natural beauty look?

Why not try a few of these Magnolia Silver pieces to add a bit of glam to your casual ensemble!

Spice up your life!

It’s almost July and on  July the 30^th , the Olympic Games will take place in London. Slowly all the acts who will be performing at the opening and closing ceremony will be revealed. Aussies will start to wonder whether the London games will surpass the Sydney games as, which is considered the best organized and accomplished Games of modern times.

Well, what could be one highlight in these games? What has the UK to offer for their ceremonies? What acts do the majority of people want to see? The Beatles? Unlikely; Paul McCartney won’t be able to represent all the Beatles on his own. Besides the most popular band of all times, Great Britain can offer some other good, still living acts: The Who, Pink Floyd, The Arctic Monkeys, Adele, Blur, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, just to name some. But one is missing in this row of famous British bands. One name that we all know. Of course I am talking about the female correspondent of all American Boy bands. The glorious SPICE GIRLS !!! It is rumoured that the fabulous girl group will reunite at the Olympics as ambassadors of the 90ties in the UK Pop-music genre. The only troublemaker is Posh Spice, nowadays better known as skinny wife of David Beckham-Victoria Beckham. She said that a reunion with the Spice Girls will never take place for and with her. She wants to avoid criticism about her singing and voice and concentrate on keeping up her public image of that fashion wife next to Beckham. She reached fame and glory in fashion business with her denim jeans collection for Rock and Republic. Since 2010 she is independent and launched her own collection of handbags. 

Posh Spice was without a doubt the most fashionable and elegant Spice Girl - the perfect connection to Magnolia! If you want to copy Posh Spice’s style even (even though she might be the one person to prevent the Spice Girls reunion!), we have what you want and what you really,really want. We wanna, we wanna, we wanna a reunion of the Spice Girls to feel the spirit of the 90ties again!!

Rainbow Queen

The focus over the last couple of weeks has been the celebrations of the diamond jubilee of the monarch of Great Britain, Queen Elizabeth II. With her coronation on the 2^nd of June 1953 her reign as Queen of the United Kingdom and head of state in all Commonwealth countries (among them Australia) officially begun. 60 years passed and despite her age of 86 years the Queen still displays dignity in every single appearance in public.

Dignity is probably 70% body language but the remaining 30% is style. Vogue Magazine created a chart that shows quite well that the Queen is not just a monarch but also a fashionista. More than 100 appearances in public and more than 100 perfect outfits. Our Queen is a rainbow Queen!  And we all can agree that she looks fantastic in each color.

Let us take the Queen as ideal and start matching our outfits to the rainbow chart! First and most important step of course: Matching jewellery. And which jewellery offers sparkling necklaces, rings, bracelets and earrings in all colors? Exactly! Magnolia can help you to sparkle like her Royal Highness! Sparkle in rainbow colors for dignity!

Melrose

                                          

 

The ‘Melrose Collection’ reflects Lola’s shopping sprees along Melrose and her style. Her creator, Kai Aiyub, describes her style as “a vintage feel but with a modern vibe”. And all 4 pieces of this collection fit perfectly in the ‘modern vibe’ part of Kai’s description. 

Venice Beach

 

The next part of this collection is called ‘Venice Beach ‘. It represents the relaxed lifestyle at Venice Beach, the waves of the sea, the blue sky. Venice Beach can show you how good life can be and the design of the following pieces totally expresses the part of Lola’s dream that includes the Venice Beach vintage lifestyle.

The star shape that belongs to each item is the essence of ‘Lola’s dream’.

MB Fashion Week Report - Part 1

It’s already the middle of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia and time for a report about two design presentations of the new spring and summer collections. The first days have proven that Australian Fashion Week is in no way inferior to any of the shows in Milan, London, Paris and New York. 

One of the first shows was Gail Sorranda’s presentation of her collection. Her pieces are unusual and colorful for a spring/summer collection. The statuesque models presented the fashion standing on dramatically slow moving boxes that contrasted on the one hand but also intensified on the other hand all of her models and outfits. Also stunning in her collection are the intricate head and hair pieces that she used to restage her collection. 

One of the next amazing catwalk shows was Camilla’s Spring/Summer collection. Colorful dresses, suites, visors and jewellery represented the collections’ topic: Gypset.- a mixture between two actually completely different lifestyles combined by Camilla to maybe one of the most stunning collections at MB Fashion Festival. The one style refers to the jetset living of nowadays generation but the other one refers to the gypsy mentality lived out by many inspiriting people of the 1960s like e.g. Jimi Hendrix, Frida Kahlo or Verushka. This collection contains also two debuts of Camilla: her collection includes ready-to-wear pieces and she designed pieces for children, too. It will be hard for any designer to make the catwalk more colorful than Camilla did it.

During Mercedes Benz Fashion Week of course a lot more designers will present their collections. Magnolia’s Blog will continue tomorrow with reporting about Sydney’s biggest fashion event! Keep in touch and don’t miss this event!

Thank you Mrs Roentgen!

This picture was taken on 22/12/1895. What it shows should be easily recognized by everybody: an x-ray of a human hand. Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen from Germany was the first to use radiation for scanning the body. His experiment object was his wife. Well, his wife’s hand. For this discovery he earned the Nobel Prize for physics. Magnolia Silver Jewellery of course honors Roentgen but has anybody ever spent one thought about honoring his wife as well? On the one hand she had been exposed to harmful radiation. And on the other hand, come on, fashionistas look at the beautiful ring! Her wedding ring is not a classical thin and golden ring. It is a ring with a very big stone – which is quite on trend today! So on physical aspect: Thank you Mrs Roentgen for donating your hand to science! And on the fashion aspect: Thank you for already wearing fashionable rings and showing the beauty of jewellery with this picture which is by the way in the list of the “100 world changing pictures”
