Imelda May Style Tips!

Eve chatted to the stunning rockabilly singer Imelda May just before her gig in Carrickfergus at Live at the Castle.

"I love pencil skirts, belts and high heels, whatever ever flatters a women's

body, belts also hide a multitude of sins," she laughs.

Imelda always has black eyeliner and red lipstick in her makeup bag, "no matter how your feeling, red lipstick will always make you look and feel good."

Fashion Turns Back Time

Titanic Vintage Day is a new and exciting Northern Ireland event and tourist attraction, which will be taking place at Titanic's Dock and Pump House, Queen's road, Belfast, on Saturday 22nd August from 10am to 4.30am.

Presented by Autoregister and Frock around the Clock Vintage Fairs, the inaugural Titanic Vintage Day promises a day out with a difference.

The Titanic's Dock and Pump House - steeped in history is the perfect setting for such a celebration with vintage and classic cars on display from all over Northern Ireland. The vintage Austins on display will date from 1907 to 1930.

It is likely that the models on display resembled those which transported passengers to the Titanic before her fateful voyage. The area is particularly awe inspiring as you can witness the sheer size of the ship from Thompson's Graving Dock - where she rested before her maiden voyage.

A Vintage Fashion, Textile, Jewellery and Decor Fair will be held in the Studio Room of the Edwardian Pump House, where visitors will be able to buy vintage treasures dating from the early 1900s to the 1970.

Among exhibitors will be Decadence Vintage, Lulu Rose, Raspberry Beret Belfast Vintage, Alexandra Crawford and Banshee Vintage.

Entrance to the exquisite day is free with exception of guided tours.

Contact infor@northernirelandvintage.com and info@autoregister.co.uk for more information.

Titanic Vintage Day is sponsored by the Northern Ireland Science Park and the Titanic's Dock and Pump House.

Jimmy 'Choo'ses H&M

Style bible Vogue has released the news that Jimmy Choo will be joining forces with high street giant H&M this November. Clever marketing or an attempt to make high fashion more affordable?

Co-Founder of Jimmy Choo, Vogue accessories editor Tamara Mellon said the collection will appeal to "fashion savvy, street smart women" and will also include pieces for men. The designer will create a clothing line as well.

So does Jimmy Choo brand that can boast patronage from Diana, Princess of Wales and also feature heavily in Vogue need to boost its image?

And are we all collectively jumping for joy at the thought of tottering around in affordable desinger heels?

Not being a proud owner of Choo's (yet) I think I would prefer the genuine article rather than a highstreet version of a designer label...but then again how many of us can afford such luxuries in the current nasty climate?

I can't help but feel that a designer will somehow lose some of its sparkle by jumping on the bandwagon of a highstreet retailer...whats next, Chanel for Primark?

Still, I will certainly be checking out when the Choo's steam into H&M - just in time for Christmas of course.
