We were shown around New Look in Highcross which is one of my personal favorite places to shop from. It's much bigger and there is a lot more variety. We were shown what colours and tones are in for the season as well as the top sellers. A lot of different textures and prints as well. Loving the tartan and the fur particularly. I loved the reds and oranges. The red bag on display really caught my eye. A great statement piece.Their display last month by the way was gorgeous. If you're from Leicester you must have seen it. It was so Christmasy and wintery. Loved it. We were also shown the Menswear section in new Look which is actually really good. Some really great pieces with a very selective range all being great.
Next stop was Urban Decay where we were shown the New Vice Palette and how it came about. The colours are stunning and the packaging is gorgeous. I expected nothing less from Urban Decay. This new Vice palette is all about going back to the roots of Urban Decay and bringing that back. However what really really caught my eye was the Gwen Stefani Palette in collaboration with Urban Decay. One of the best collaborations in my option and oh my gosh it is beautiful. The colours and packaging which is unique and the overall look of it is interesting. A lot of neutrals but there is still that pop of color to it so it's so very easy to create a day to night look with this. A very urban (hence Urban Decay) and rustic look to it that I think looks beautiful and something that defines Urban Decay and Gwen Stefani's signature look.
Such a great evening to be a part of and I am so glad I made it. Gotta say Highcross is really doing well! Everything you can ask for and more.
