Plum Pout

Agyness Deyn
Sonia Rykiel
From ELLE
The plum lipstick trend was around last year, however after finding one of my own plum lipsticks only today I thought that I would wear it and make a post on it as I rather quite like it now!The pictures above are of darker plum shades similar to the one I have, im not so sure on wearing it for casual though ill see how brave im feeling!
I think that Agyness Deyn looks really good in the picture above, although it should look quite gothic, her blonde hair seems to bring it up to date. The third picture is from Elle's website however it was also shown in a later magazine which also had other shades of lipstick shown.
I think this colour looks its best if it is worn slighly darker at the outer corners of the mouth as this gives the lips definition, it also make them look much bigger.

Audrey Hepburn - Thick eyebrows

You cant get more classic than Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Audrey's style is admired by many and I really like her eyebrows in these shots, they are very thick but still look very elegant as they are not bushy brows they are very defined and sculptured.
Thick eyebrows have always been fashionable, more so in recent years and still are this year too, which I'm glad because I have always had rather thick eyebrows considering that I have caramel blonde hair!
I think that anyone can recreate this look. To make the eyebrows look softer you could use an eyeshadow to define, or to make them look very sharp you could use a brown, or even black (depending on your eyebrow colour) to draw an outline.

More Audrey Hepburn

Even more Audrey
Not great picture quality - but look at those brows!

Pastel Pretty - Spring 2011

Clarins

Dior


From harpersbazaar.com
A great trend this spring is pastel eye make-up, shown in just a view images I found (I particulary like the top one). I often wear a lot of darker shades of eye make-up, mainly browns so i thought this would be a great look for me to try just to be slightly different. I think that green, blue and purple are the best shades but yellows and oranges can look great too. I think pastel colours are great with other make-up being natural although it depends on the brightness of the colours, it does also look good with stained lips I think. What do you think?

Givenchy Nightingale - The Bag


Reece Witherspoon

Givenchy Nightingale quilted
I have wanted this bag forever, its such a popular choice for many celebs. I guess that's no shock due to its classic shape and style.
It seems to work with everything and I SO wish I had one! They are made with a choice of leather and come in several designs. I like this quilted patent one, however I would buy the plain black one or the tan colour as they would work much better for everyday as I think they would look better with casual clothes as well as smart wear.

Beach waves - Ashley Olsen



Hey, this is my first ever post on my first ever blog so bare with me! I want this blog to show all the pictures and things that influence's me in regards with fashion and beauty.
This is a picture of Ashley olsen which I think is relly cute, I really love the olsens hair especially here. I love the colour and beach waves/boho look that compliments her natural looking golden make up, definately a look to recreate.
