Fashion Longoria Eva GET THE LOOK As Christmas and New Year draw closer and closer, the celebrities are bringing out their best fur in a bid to look as glamorous as possible for all the glitzy endof-year parties! You can throw a good fur stole over pretty much anything and it will take your look from drab to fab in seconds. Here, Eva Longoria is showing us exactly how it is done. Her rich purple ensemble is receiving an instant style injection with the addition of her glorious brown fur jacket. Watch Eva’s look is very girly, which is why it is nice to see something a little less delicate on her wrist. True, her watch is hardly the chunkiest thing out there, but its solidity offsets the softness of the rest of the look. We have found this very similar design from Longines. They have several similar designs, so be sure to check them all out. Bag Eva’s bag is a patent Mulberry creation and what better substitute for it but another, similar Mulberry design? In keeping with our lust for plum this December, we’ve chosen this darker Mulberry tote — the perfect accompaniment to Lipsy’s one-shouldered dress. We think the patent leather actually looks richer and better quality in this hue. Dress As the Winter really sets in, we thought a nice dark plum would be the most appropriate. You can only see a glimpse of Eva’s purple dress in the picture, but we can tell you that it is a paler, floaty, chiffon number. Our choice is this satin offering from the glamorous, but affordable label Lipsy — perfect for the more special of the festive season’s parties. Coat The best thing about Eva’s coat is the texture — she has opted for something with a really plush, mink-like feel to it. This design means that it instantly stands out in the crowd. It looks so strokable! We’ve delved deep into the furry recesses and happened upon this glorious fur coat from Top Shop. The fur’s patterning and the vertical brown panels make it striking and flattering at the same time. 42 | December 2011 | woman this month
