September Loves ...

Summer is gradually fading away an Autumn is falling upon us, the slight warmth of Summer still lingers as the ink of the night sky gradually appears and as the seasons change, September brings about many new chapters.

New adventures are under way as school years begin, pencils are sharpened, blank notebooks are opened, uniforms are pressed , friendships are blossomed and made.

Autumn/Winter wardrobes are being re-modelled, chunky knits I simply love, Winter boots I look forward to breaking in, Jewel tones I can't wait to explore. Chanel metallic nail varnishes I can't wait to wear, perfecting the use of Mac 'Brave Red' lipstick an the eyeliner I have finally cracked. London Fashion Week sets the capital alive and opens our eyes to the creativity, talent and beauty that we will soon be gazing at in the editions of Vogue.

Recipe pages are book marked on homemade thick crusty breads, pipping hot chunky soups, apple & cinnamon cake. Stacks of books have been collated from the classics, to bestsellers ready to be discovered on the perfect Sunday afternoon with a cup of milky tea. X

July Loves...

Middle of summer here we are already, oh how you have creeped up on us...Warm, lazy weekends spent peacefully reading classic books. Bright, pink lipstick to add a splash of colour to your summer pallet. First glimpses of pre-fall collections, oh those Mulberry dresses & bags i want you all. On the look for the perfect jewlerry to go with that classic crisp white sundress. Messy buns or perfect waves the perfect hair mix for summer when its too warm to do anything too perfect, just go with it. The navy blazer has been purchased to wear with the pink chinos, an ideal summer outfit that i love. The enjoyment of bright warm evenings in a beer garden catching up with friend after work, its not the weekend but it feels like one. New music is being discovererd and loved as the summer festivals have kicked off. Waking up in crisp white sheets to the sight of a blue sky.

Pretty Pink

Pink, who doesn't love this colour it's so summer, bright and of course girly an that is exactly what my long weekend was like! With my first girly hen party pink was a key feature of the day, with pink cupcakes, cocktails, decorations it was perfect! Then on a shopping trip I discovered a pink dress that I'm having made for the Wedding and it really was love at first sight! So really I don't think that I need any more excuses, so enjoy these gorgeous pictures X

Chanel Spring Make Up

Are you still wearing the same makeup that you wore last winter? Spring is here and there are some great new colors to check out and Chanel is one brand whose makeup collection for 2011 has definitely caught my eye.  Les Perles de Chanel is a really gorgeous mix of shimmering peachy, pink and green shades with a little bit of iridescent greeny black pearl thrown in the mix. 

Pearls and Chanel go hand-in-hand and Peter Phillips, the Global Creative Director of Chanel Makeup has used the iridescent reflections of pearls as inspiration to design the fresh and radiant Les Perles de Chanel Spring 2011 Makeup Collection.

The one thing I always really look forward to  is the nail polish collection from all of the new Chanel makeup collection I always seem to find one or two colours that I love and will wear all Spring/Summer.  There are 3 Le Vernis nail polishes in the Chanel Spring Makeup collection, Pearl Drop, Pêche Nacrée and Black Pearl.

Chanel Ombrés Perlées de Chanel eyeshadow compact has the most delicate and shimmering colours in its classic compact black little box. It hold 5 beautiful iridescent eyeshadows for the Spring Les Perles de Chanel makeup collection. The 5 colours to choose from can be worn as a simple look in the day or mixed together for a more drastic effect of an evening. 

There are four new shades of lipstick for the Chanel Les Perles de Chanel Spring makeup collection and I think in Summer have a delicate pale colour on your lips against sun shimmered skin is so refreshing in the warmer months. 

• Flamboyante – a shimmery rosy red lipstick
• Coquete – a vivid pink lipstick

• Jersey Rose – a pink lipstick that flatters all skin tones
• Peregrina – a delicate coral lipstick

So what do you think? I personally am in love with the whole collection especially the lipsticks, i think the whole range that has been put together is perfectly ideal for Spring/Summer. It it wearable for all users and no matter if you go for simple or drastic I don't think you can go wrong with Les Perles de Chanel.

Kate Moss A Dior Addict

With all the attention that fashion house Dior have had on them in the past couple of weeks it was their long anticipated arrival of the Dior Addict lipstick advert featuring iconic supermodel Kate Moss that grabbed everyone's attention.

The advert is an epic 90 seconds long and was directed by Jonas Akerlund who has collaborated with artists such as Lady Gaga and Britney Spears. Kate is featured in a Parisian hotel getting ready to make an appearance at Paris Fashion Week, applying the lipstick in her room and again  in the back of a vintage car on her way to the Dior S/S 11 show. She is looking glamorous as always with her tousled hair, Dior sunglasses perched upon her nose and of course wearing Dior Addict (colour 596.)

March Loves....

March is here which can only mean one thing, Spring is just around the corner. Everyone starts to come out after hibernating all Winter, the layers of jumpers are gradually peeled away, days are longer as we are no longer under a constant sky of black ink. Fashion talk turns towards what pieces to purchase for your Spring/Summer wardrobe,  summer holidays are starting to be planned & booked, flowers are starting to bloom and colour is coming back in to our lives.

There are various thing that I love about March, one is that so many of my friends & families birthday are in this month & I love nothing more than going on a birthday shopping spree. Flashes of pink lipsticks are starting to appear against the last remains of Winter's neutral palette, Chanel launch their Spring/Summer Limited Edition nail varnishes which are always in eye catching colours. Flowers are in bloom & there is nothing better then purchasing a few bunches & scattering them around your house.  Pale pink rolled up chinos, skinny belts, Moccasin pumps & thin knit cashmere jumpers are perfect to still keep out the last of the Winter chill. Talk of planning trips across Europe warm you up as you think about which cities to explore and what you will discover on your trip.

Exploring what you want in March who knows what will blossom in to Summer...
