5 Things the Style Team Loves this Month - Aug 2014
Patent leather

Tiny timepieces
Understated and elegant miniature watches are showing up on wrists everywhere. Wear one alone or pair them with a couple of delicate bangles to create a feminine statement.
Left to right: Marc by Marc Jacobs, $180, Watch It!. Kate Spade, $150, Holt Renfrew. $190, Pandora.
Double-duty shadows
These single eyeshadows pack a big colour punch in a small package. Apply them dry for a diffused and glowy wash of colour, or use a damp brush for bold and saturated shine.
Nars dual-intensity eyeshadows, $33 each. Nars wet/dry eyeshadow brush #49. $32. Sephora.
Special scents
These three fragrances are the latest additions to a collection of perfumes all inspired by the life and loves of Coco herself. Treat yourself to one of the luxuries of life with notes of jasmine (1932), lavender (Jersey) and exotic florals (Beige). And as Coco famously said, wear it “wherever you want to be kissed.”
Les exclusifs de Chanel les extraits parfum, $200 each. Chanel.
On-the-glow
These blush sticks add rosy colour and a hint of moisture to cheekbones — no mirror required! Lightly apply the colour (layer it for a more intense hue) and blend using your fingertips.
Clinique chubby stick cheek colour balm blushes, $24 each. Clinique.
