LET'S GET GOING!This season is the season of change. Bold colours create an aura of confidence, minimalist pieces are set for you to personalise, virginal and long flowing hollister jeans dresses create a sense of purity and desire. Whether you're going for the romantic Dolce, sailor chick Dior, Anna Sui's boho or Marc Jacobs' flower power, they're all here to make you feel good. But that's what fashion's about.
So, welcome to Spring.
This season's hair is all about being 'laid back'. Messy buns with cute flower accesories, beach waves and feminine braids are perfect for completeing the sophisticated, feminine look.
Next up skin. After an intensively cold winter, it's important to get back into the routine of moisturising and toning. And if like me, you have many a late night and few hours sleep, Garnier's Caffeine Eye Roll on range helps hide dark circles and brighten your eyes. (You could always get some eye drops, too.) Bamford Body Cream has an amazing scentthat will wake you up and leave your skin feeling smooth and hydrated. In terms of perfume, try Nina by Nina Ricci, or DKNY Be Delicious.
Lighten your make up. Use a delicate blush (try Bourjois) with a rosy glow, and subtle pink nail poilsh. If you're like me and you're not a fan of pink, you could always go for a more striking red or pale blue. Maybeline's 'Dream Matt Mousse' foundation creates a sheer texture on the surface of your skin and doesn't turn oily like some liquid foundations tend to; if you're feeling like spending a little more, go for a mineral foundation instead it's much kinder to your skin and easier to blend. Neutral eyeshadow shades add colour to your eyes without making too much of a statement use lighter tones on the inner corners of your eyes, and darker browns towards the edges, blending all the time. To add some colour, line your top lid with a colour that matches your outfit. Opt for a pearl lipgloss to complete the look.
Hair heat protection is essential for your hair. Although the hollister london natural look is the best look this season, I recommend Tigi's Catwalk Heat Protecter. It has hollister london a gorgeous fruity smell, and if you don't have naturally curly hair (I envy you.), this means you can style your hair guilt free.
If the shoe fits get something different something that's really you. Flat. Bold. Elegant. Edgy. Wedge y. Whatever it is, make a statement. Skinny jeans in a range of colours, big jackets and bold, bright tee's blazened with logos and slogans took charge of the catwalk and what a gorgeous sight it was. (And I don't just mean the models.) There was pop art style feel to the show, and it was definitely a different take on the Dolce show earlier in the week. Infused with prints and color, the latest collection puts a playful spin on a well executed stable of menswear. From suiting separates and the casual bib shirt to shorts, the label applies a relaxed formula to their range and captures the easy spirit of summer.
The latest collection from Louis Vuitton took inspiration from Amish sources. Experimenting with a variety of fabrics and teasingly using vibrant orange, the lineup consisted modern lines and shapes tailored for a sophisticated feat.
Okay I've found it hard to blog about menswear, so I think I may leave it for a while.
Now I know this is normally just a fashion blog, but I've discovered reams of new bands that I HAVE to blog about. So here goes. (A majority of these videos I couldn't embed, so I posted YouTube links instead)
1) Diagram of the Heart:
This modest twosome are set to be huge. Their music is a fantastic blend of rock, indie and dance creating music that's accessible to everyone but remains individual in its own right. What's even better is they sounds like they do in recordings when they play live. I hate when bands sound completely hollister clearance different live, so for me this is a big plusplus. Check out their singles Did I and Dead Famous, and pre order their album Vital Signs set for release on March 27th. (Ten days before my birthday. Fact.)Here's their upcoming single, If I were you.Formed in 2006 in NYC, not many people know about these guys, which I simply hollister outlet don't understand because anything that's not 'I BANG DESE HOES AND FLASH MA CASH MONEYS' is a lot less popular in the states than it is over here. Their self titled album was released in 2008 and is available on iTunes, and includes the amazing singles Rich Girls and One Week of Danger. I love them and hope they come to the UK again soon.
3) Two Door Cinema Club:
Their album Tourist History was a huge success over here, and they were named one of the top 15 Best Rising Stars of 2010. And rightly so. They've been around for a while now, but still they deserve to be in this list even though they're not all that new.
