Pretty Pastels

Hello Everyone,

As it is Spring and Easter is just around the corner pastels have been the main colours featuring in Fashion, Beauty and Clothing. I thought I would share some pastel colour combinations I think work well and some items that are reflecting on the pastel trend!



Some pastel combinations that are more girly are the light pink and light purple and also coral. Many people (Dame Helen Mirren) have been sporting pastel pink hair and when done right it can look gorgeous. The colours are girly and pretty and it would work well if you could incorporate these colours into you fashion or beauty looks at the moment.

Another pretty pastel colour that looks so chic is mint green! This colour is dainty and pretty and can look really elegant on jewellery, clothing, nails and in the home! Many people are adding touches of mint green to there homes and it is a really fresh and clean colour, for an example see the wallpaper with intricate white patterning. This colour looks great with white.

Thank you for reading this post, I hope it gave you a bit of inspiration and have a good Easter!

How to get the Vogue Look

Hi everyone,

So the April Vogue edition is out and I love the new cover and photoshoot with Cara Delevigne, Georgia May Jagger and Suki Waterhouse. The models and dressed in gorgeous outfits and look fresh faced and youthful.

I particularly am a Suki Waterhouse fan! She has been in the film, 'Love Rosie' which I am yet to see but loved the book and in 'Insurgent' the latest movie from the Divergent series which I am excited to watch! I think she is gorgeous and always looks naturally beautiful, not overdone. So I am going to show you ways to get Suki Waterhouse's look from the Vogue shoot.

Suki has a fresh face and that can only be achieved by a good skincare regime. It is recommend that you exfoliate your face only once a week but personally I believe that exfoliating every other day is good for my skin (but its a personal choice) so make sure you exfoliate regularly! Use products like
Boots tea tree and witch hazel charcoal face scrub,  or Burts Bees Anti Blemish Scrub.

Also, you must cleanse your face daily, any typd of wash is good, it is best if it is a product with natural ingredients,  try The body shop seaweed cleansing wash. As this is made from natural ingredients and shouldnt be harsh on your skin. Moisturising is important, even if you have oily skin use a moisturizer that controls oil and shine.

So that is how to get a good base to work with, your skin needs to be clean and clesr before you do your makeup. Also, as a model, Suki will know that to get clear and healthy skin you need to est healthy and drink lots of water. Recently I have started to drink more water and I can see less blemishes on my skin.

In the Vogue shoot Suki has fresh skin, as I have already explained how to get that I will tell you how to get her gorgeous makeup look!

Suki's skin looks natural, so wear a light foundation with good coverage or just a tinted moisturiser.  Try Rimmel stay matte foundation, it's not cakey and looks natural. On her eyes, she has a light brown eyeshadow which gets darker towards the outer corner of her eye (blend!) and she has some black eyeliner. A good black eyeliner is Soap and Glory supercat. I love Soap and Glory and although I've not used the product myself all my friends rave about it! To finish the Suki look wear either a nude ligloss (what she wears on the cover) or a bubblegum pink lipstick (what she wears on the main shoot) the pink is bright and matches really well with her skin tone!

Her hair is messy but eleganly so, put your hair in a messy ponytail or plait or wear down and wavy to complete the look.

I hope you enjoyed reading this post, I just loved the shoot and had to post about it!

Happy International Womens Day!

Hello readers,

Today, March 8th, is International Women's Day! This makes me think of a lot of things; what is it to be a women today, the expectations of women and girls and what i can do to promote women s rights?

Back when women received the right to vote, feminism was popular among women but not men and since then people think that's all we can do and feminism has become a taboo subject. But in the past year many campaigners have spoke out to say that we still aren't equal to men. Emma Watson's campaign HeForShe has got many men also thinking about what they can do, because men are a large part of gaining equality.

Along with Emma Watson, people such as Tavi Gevinson and Lena Dunham have spoken out about women's rights. So as much as we still have a long way to go with women's rights and equality, things are looking up. So I for one am postive!

Thank you,
