| L'Oreal Studio Secrets primer We recently fell in love with L'Oreal's Studio Secrets primer, something we feel like dubbing "Photoshop in a jar". Which may sound like an overstatement, but when the primer is placed under foundation other make-up simply wears better and blemishes (read: wrinkles) are far less obvious. You can read Fashionising.com's review of L'Oreal Studio Secrets primer, along with reviews from our readers and fellow bloggers, by following the link.

Every year Fashionising.com works hard to provide you with inspiration for the year's trends, hence we're currently putting together the take on 2011's hairstyles and 2011's fashion trends. But hairstyles are only a part of the equation; another part is made up by the year's haircuts and another its hair colors. And what will they be, might you ask?

Nowhere is that truer then of men's suit trends. While there are distinct styles of suits that feature amongst 2011's fashion trends I should note from the get-go that they're not unique to the year - in fact, many of the key looks you'll find in this guide will still be in-fashion come 2012 and beyond. Which is a great thing - it means you can afford to spend more on a suit thus buying a quality piece of workmanship that you'll still be able to wear for many a year to come. The same can't be said of most fashion trends. But what styles, cuts and cloths should you be looking for? Read on to find out.

Of course, the pixie crop isn't a new hairstyle for the year: Fashionising.com has been writing about its popularity and evolution since 2007. And in 2011 the pixie crop will do just that, evolve. Or at least, revert. Spurred on by celebrities and trend influencers, such as Emma Waston, the pixie crop returns in 2011 to be a short crop - putting it in contrast to the longer interpretation of the hairstyle that was popular in 2010. Read on for more on the pixie crop, including:

And how could she not? Entitled The Iconic Brigitte Bardot it's another retelling of a style of attitude, hair and make-up that is hard to tire of. So to inspire you to pick up a copy of the magazine, just as Tania did, or experiment with your inner Bardot here's a preview of the photo shoot.

I mean, they'd only go with so many things, be suitable for so many occasions. But then again, every wardrobe should have room for some knock-out shoes as well as the versatile, relatively sensible ones. And as far as sweeping, sexy, bohemian Spring boots go... these Pucci's top the list.

The latter balances out the former where perhaps a softer type of outerwear - like a shawl or formal jacket - can be dull. Here it's a dress by John Galliano and a jacket by Jean-Claude Jitrois.

This is one I picked up online, made from beautiful quality vintage lace. I totally fell in love with the bell sleeves and scalloped hem - and while I paired it with Gucci heels and some vintage jewellery for the Kenzo flagship store launch, it can also be easily played down with a pair of wedges and a big spring hat.

And since then I haven't been disappointed - always sharp, always unique (but perfectly wearable), always thematic and always with an edge, she's remained relevant. SS10/11 takes the title Song Bird 7, subtly themed with swan motifs, feathers, and light fabrics with soft flounces like birds in flight. And the look book? A more-gorgeous-than-ever Zippora Seven features with heavy eye makeup and messy waves.
