Wearing sunshine

So the sun has been shining in the UK this week, what better way to reflect this summer glow than to work some yellow accessories?

Building blocks

Yesterday I tweeted that 'fabric blocking' was a trend to watch, this is not a term that most people have heard of so I will explain more...

Fabric blocking uses the juxtaposition that can be seen between colours in colour blocking and interprets this through fabric textures. For example, you could wear a beautiful skin such as crocodile with an Angora knit or a soft silk against a long fur. To highlight the fabric blocking and the beautiful textures, try too keep to one colour in an outfit, nude is best for this.

Cover girl

Estee Lauder has just announced the news that they have signed up gorgeous model Arizona Muse as a brand ambassador. Muse will now represent the prestigious brand joining an impressive list of names such as Elizabeth Hurley, Carolyn Murphy and Lui Wen. 


The world famous face was described by Aerin Lauder as 'a truly modern Estee Lauder woman'.

Rogue brogue

Okay, so 'practical' and 'comfy' are not words that are often connected with fashion butttt...that has changed with the popularity of brogues. I know that they have been popular for a while now but this also means that designs have had to adapt to keep us interested, this has resulted in some beautiful new versions hitting the shops. 


Wear brogues in fun colours against quirky tailoring like Pixie Lott.

Out of this world

The last time most of us wore a transfer was probably a few years ago... The new generation of transfers, however, are less concerned with emulating tattoos of Spice Girls but with creating unique effects that could not be achieved with conventional make up. 


Kim Kardashian experimented with lip transfers from Violent Lips, also popular with Lady Gaga, to achieve this unique monochrome look. 




Nail Rock have also discovered the possibilities of transfers and has made them widely available on the high street. The innovative designs will transform how we adorn our nails, lips and now eyes.

Seeing double

Twins Mary-Kate and Ashley have developed a unique eccentric style piecing together luxurious vintage finds with new season designs. Their skill has now culminated in designing several lines of their own including The Row, inspired by the legendary Saville Row in London. 








Tuesday

Sweet as..

The colour palette for Spring/Summer 2012 is dominated by sugary pastel shades...toughen them up by snapping up fashion forward shapes and sharp tailoring. Remember, just because you're dressed like a good girl it doesn't mean you need to act like one!

Unlikely hero

Hair heros normally come in the form of primped and preened models and actresses. This season, however, I will be taking my cue from Elizabeth, the Lhasa Apso who was awarded Best in Show 2012 at Crufts yesterday. Keeping the centre parting, ignoring all side parting temptation, wear your mane long and wear it sleek.


Regular haircuts and intensive conditioning after colouring will ensure a soft effortless result.
