1. Sandy Beige Colours. If there’s any defining features which will immediately get you thinking of Mad Max, it’s the colour schemes. Although you can’t pin it all down to this film, you can pretty much bet on it being the reason why how much of the high street gravitates toward sand and beige tones recently, especially during summer. Add it together with some silver or gold jewellery and you’ve got an ideal outfit for a casual occasion.

2. Short Leather Biker Jackets. When you watch the film again and then go into a number of stores, you’ll be hit with the realisation of just how much is carried over from the film into real life. The short leather biker jacket is just one of them.

3. Gladiator Sandal. A desirable Summer stable for the last three or so years, it introduces a bit of class to a somewhat messy style.

4. Shoulder Details. Bulking up your shoulders might be a throwback to the ‘80s, but when couples with any of these others, it’s almost a statement that you’ve gone for a Mad Max-esque swagger.

5. Messy Bedhead Look. Topping it all off, the ability to master the look by seeming as though you haven’t put that much effort into it is by going for a bedhead look. Although not everyone can pull it off, making yourself seem a little rough around the edges will make it seem that you haven’t tried too hard to pull off a magazine look and are more asy-going than your obsessive fashion-conscious mind.

Hot.

- Rihanna’s Reb’l Fleur. 2011 was Rihanna’s year. You could have said this every year since 2008, but it was definitely true of 2011 too. Other than her massive achievements in music and the many activities she’s been getting up to around her career, launching Reb’l Fleur is another major reason to get excited about what she’s up to.

- Kim Kardashian’s Love. Always one to make a song and dance about her every new venture, Kim K knew what she was doing when Love dropped and was met by a warm reception from the public. It’s not hard to see why this would be the case either: Love is a fragrance shrouded in secrecy, was limited to just 1,000 bottles and comes with an unforgettable bottle design. This one is really a good job all-round.

Not.

- Katy Perry’s Purr. if it was down to the matter one which one had the most desirable bottle, this one would win hands down. The stand out purple design is one which grabs attention on the shelf and its cat stape is one which will force thousands to buy into it, from those mere details alone. The fragrance, however, can’t be valued as highly as its container, which will come as a disappointment to her massive worldwide following.

- Taylor Swift’s Wonderstruck. Remaining as understated as ever, Taylor Swift putting out her Wonderstruck perfume might not have attracted the sort of hype that it was capable of, but that might just have a little something to do with what this scent is like. It’s far from a prime pick and best worth forgetting.

Below are just five of the things which you can get to liven your parties up:

1. Hamper. For those who haven’t got the time to prepare all the food themselves and can’t source a few extra hands in time for the event, it’s often an idea to get it all done for you in a hamper. They come in all shapes and sizes to fit the needs of every customer, so if you’re not willing to spend into the hundreds, you don’t have to.

2. Ruwa Beverage. Non-alcoholic and halal, this is a drink which gives off the impression of a end-end vodka product, when it couldn’t be further from the truth. Marvel at the bottles heavily crystallized design and all the fine details which make it look so elegant.

3. Beluga Caviar. It’s certain that you’ll impress, if you whipped this out at a party. The roe of begula are among the world’s most sought-after, so have it there at your disposal to knock everyone off their feet.

4. Crystal Head Vodka. This is a great talking point, as well as a quality source for some of the best vodka you’ll find anywhere. With a bottle design which was made before the makers even decided what they were going to put inside it, this will make your get-together one to remember.

5. Chocolate Fountain. Functional and fun, chocolate fountains can often be that one extra thing you could add to your party to give it that splash of excitement. Use it to add a final touch to ice cream, marshmallows or whatever takes your fancy on the day.
