New Look SS15 Preview: Le Sportif, Magical Marrakech & The 70s

Yesterday New Look unveiled their SS15 collection. Popular SS15 trends that feature are bold prints, sleek sportswear and a 70s revival. The collection has a fun holiday vibe, having me wishing for long summer nights somewhere tropical. Along the theme of irreverent holidays, favourite element of the collection was the cheeky slogan accessories and swimsuits. Check them out below.

Le Sportif

As the title would suggest this capsule is a chic & minimal take on the sports wear trend which is taking over SS15 accross the board. The sleek monochromatic pallette allows for easy adjustment into even the most conservative Parisians city wardrobe, whilst metallic accessories ensure that the collection is streetwear ready.

70s

It's the day your funky aunt prayed for, the 70s are certainly back. This daring era sees print clash, denim, brown and flares, which can actually be quite flattering on a curvy figure. About time! I have been over these blasted show all skinnies for years now -_-

Magical Marrakech

Representing prints  to the fullest, is Magical Marrakech. Printed crop tops, shorts, dresses and jumpsuits in colours ranging from cool subtle blues to warm desert reds.

Swim Wear

Beautifully intricately designed swimsuits for that pool wow factor

Beach please, I'm fabulous.

Metallic Accessories with holiday anthems

Give Presence Lulu Lemon Campaign

Anything that can make me take a retrospective look within I welcome. These days with so many distractions and things to do, I honestly feel like I have emotional ADHD. And is it any wonder? With Facebook in your palm, and Instagram at the tip of your finger there is a whole world of things begging your attention and your emotional engagement. Stimulating headlines and convicting images, how can the simple intimate moments of just spending time with family and loved ones compete with the buzz of what's online.

 For me it has become drastic. I actually never switch off and as a result, never actually plug in. Today I came across this powerful video by LuLu Lemon, which compels us to give presence. It challenges us to show up, emotionally and spiritually in our engagements with friends and family. You only get one life that you can be sure of. Isn't it time you showed up for the thinks that matter? This is an especially powerful message for the holiday season. This Christmas instead of focusing on giving replaceable presents, why not give the irreplaceable gift of your presence? Share the message of love.

Avon #wallofsilence Campaign against Domestic Violence

Domestic violence tragically affects 1 in 4 women in the UK. A silent killer, domestic violence thrives behind closed doors, flourishes in silence and is fuelled by fear. In 2009 Avon, a company built for and powered by women,  decided to shine a light on the masked monster, donating £1.5 million, during their Speak Out Against Domestic Violence Campaign. This year they are back and bigger than ever, with the #wallofsilence campaign, which was conceptualised by Charli Bailey, a surviver of domestic violence and is in association with Glamour Magazine, Women's Refuge & Women's Aid.

How it works is the public (that's you, my lovely) are asked to upload a 'sshselfie' to Instagram or Twitter, with the #wallofsilence and @avon_UK. Every sshselfie will be uploaded to their website to form a wall of solidarity, against domestic violence. For every sshselfie taken, Avon will donate £1 to be split between worthy charities Women's Refuge & Women's Aid, who offer financial support, emotional support and guidance to women who are victims of domestic violence. The great thing about this campaign is everybody can get involved, no matter what your budget, as they are not asking for your money, they are asking for your support.

Earlier this year I watched the tragic true life drama by the BBC titled, 'Murdered by My Boyfriend'. The film followed the life of a bright young girl who fell victim abusive relationship, which would ultimately lead to her death. Whilst she attempted to leave a few times, the obstacles she faced were ones that are common to many women who suffer domestic violence. She had a daughter, which meant that what ever move she would make, she had to be financially secure and she was terrified and terrorised by her partner who had forced her into silence for far too long. It struck me how this awful tragedy could have been avoided, if only she had more support.

Charities like Women's Aid & Women's Refuge offer this support, to attempt to stop any more women from suffering in pain or death at the hands of her abusive partner ever again. Now you can take up the fight too. Stand up against domestic violence, show your solidarity by uploading your ssh selfie with the #wallofsilence @avon_uk and joining the #wallofsilence, encouraging women to speak out and empowering the charities that help them when they do.

We can rid our society of this terrible silent killer. Please post share, tweet, stand together for women.

More ways to help:

If after uploading your selfie you would like to do more, you can purchase the special Avon nail polish in forget me not blue, in which 50% of the proceeds will be donated to the charities mentioned. www.Avonshop.co.uk

If you would like to donate, text WALL to 70500 to donate £5

Whether or not you can afford to give, we can all give our time to do a simple selfie. For the sake of every woman you know who may be suffering in silence, please help Avon end domestic violence today.

Thank you x

Fresh Faced Sunday's: My Guide to faking the natural look

If you know me, you'll know that I am ever partial to a bold red lip. However someday's its nice to do the 'natural' look. Now of course, most girls will know that there is in fact nothing natural about a natural make up look. No it takes ages of careful application, highlighting and contouring to achieve that "who me? I woke up like this" look.After years of perfecting my method, I have finally settled on the following products to achieve natural perfection. Prices will vary depending on where you get your products so I have listed is an average guide based on what I paid.

1. All about that base. As any one of the flawless people who work at MAC will tell you, good make-up is all about the base. I love the radiant effect and so I use the Mac Strobe Cream, I let it dry before applying the primer. I have used a few pre make-up creams from Mac, and this is my favourite.

Both around £24

Followed by Mac Primer, Their standard primer. Works well for me.

Face

Next I have started to use the Mac BB cream (around £24), mixed with some Pro Longwear. The reason I do this is I find mixing the colours makes the colour of the BB cream much more natural to my skin tone, and also lasts a bit longer. I also do this because I find the ProLongwear to be a bit too heavy for the natural look. Once I have applied my base foundation of the two mixed up, I then go back over and apply some ProLongwear to my chin and the bottom half of my face, as this is where it tends to fade more, and it doesn't matter too much if my chin has more makeup than around my eyes. I want to keep around the eyes light to avoid creasing.I apply the BB cream & Pro Longwear mix using my fingers first, and then blend in with their amazing brush

Concealers.

I use 3 types.

1. Studio Fix Concealer, to cover up dark blemishes. I apply this with my fingers, this warms up the concealer and makes it go on better.

2. For under my eyes, I use a mineralise conceal (because it isn't as heavy) and is a shade lighter than my skin. This is for the highlighting look.

3. For serious highlighting, in the centre of my nose, eyebrow arches and under the cheek bone,  I use Collection 2000 Fair concealer (basically any concealer 2-3 shades lighter than your skin tone) in a stick form and draw lines in the necessary areas, then BLEND!!! If you are not sure where to highlight and where to contour, follow this image,

Contour.

See those dark areas in the pic below? To achieve the cheekbones I was not born with I use Mac Studio fix concealer, the same as the one above in a shade that is a chocolate colour. Very similar to the colour in the picture. I put this on my cheek bones, then BLEND. I don't really contour my nose as I like the size of it, but I do put highlighter in the centre.

I then go over my Cheeks with some neutral brown blush. I love Sahara from Sleek. Its like a bronzer with a hint of pink.

Sleek Sahara £4.99 from SuperDrug

Lips and Eyes

For the eyes I use champagne colours from Avon Master Collection Palette, and stick to the top row you can see there,. Starting with the lightest in the corners of my eye and a darker at the end. Not too dark mind, you want a very subtle smokey eye. The exact eyeshadow combinations you use depend on your skin tone.  but be sure to stick to natural browns. I then line with cheap MUA eye liner (£1)n and use Avon Lux rose gold mascara (£9.00 from Avonshop.co.uk)

For lips, I use some Blistex, and the same dark concealer I used for my cheeks. I don't like lighter concealer on your lips, you look dead, but a darker colour works quite well.

To set the look, I go over my chin with the Mac Mineralize powder & spray with the fix spray.

And there you have it a rough rough guide to how to look like your aren't wearing tonnes of make up when you in fact are.  Happy fooling people!

Coast SS15 Preview.

If you know me at all you will know that I am a huge fan of Coast. Statement drama pieces that transform an ordinary city stroll show stopping extravaganza- what's not to love? Far from the occasional bridal wear indulgence, Coast offers statement pieces which transform the everyday ordinary outfit to outstanding. I have been campaigning for women to use some imagination, embrace their fabulosity and bring high drama items from Coast into their everyday lives for a while now. Go nuts! SS15 sees, statement singles, that can be worn together or alone, accessorised with a t-shirt or dressed up with diamonds, the combinations are as endless as they are fearless.

Think Carrie Bradshaw, from Sex In The City, never the wallflower, she was known for her high drama extravagant pieces, styled with flair. Who says you need an occasion to be fabulous?

SS15 Coast collection:

Simple Lux.

Simple Lux enjoys soft pastels, pretty pinks, bashful blues and complimenting creams, occasionally embellished with gemstone details, luxurious lace and shimmering sparkles. Despite all this the collection still manages to be refreshingly light, this part of the collection sees understated easy elegance personified with unique pieces, which stand out on their own whilst simultaniously possessing an elegant subtlety that enables them to be worn together with other items in the collection without clash.

Look 01 Artemis Waterfall Coat, Bliss Top, Paoma Trousers  |  Look 2 Bow Back Dress

New Romance

Takes a modern approach to classic sophistication. A lined printed skirts are paired with lacy bomber jackets for a remix of a classic love story. As well as some great dresses, this section of the collection offers brilliant statement singles that can be dressed up or down to match your mood or personal style.

Nolita Coat, Molly Dress

60's Mono

Power dressing takes a new form with 60's silhouettes, bold lines and a confident monochrome palette.


Luminous Blooms.

Here is where you can really inject some life into your SS15 wardrobe with vibrant modern prints on statement pieces.

Bliss Top, Hyper Bloom Skirt

Modern Muse,
Last but not least, Coast presents Modern Muse, a collection which is a celebration classic of femininity, elegance and charm. Vintage glamour is revisited to create iconic looks which encourages every woman to swap flats for glass slippers, and play the leading lady (if only for a day).

Lessons On Living Shamelessly

Ever wondered what life would be like if you were shameless? Not pointlessly shameless like Kardashians butt pick, but you were decidedly and unapologetically who you wanted to be with no apologies.

Too often, embarrassment, fear of rejection and the wounds of past failures pain hinder us taking the most of an opportunity and living in the now. Yet if we look back at it, more often than not it is not the actual incident that was so bad, it was the emotional pain, chastisement and fear that we attributed to ourselves.

The gift of hindsight truly is a wonderful thing, yet the downsides of death bead revelations, is that it is all too late. To that, I am going to attempt to save you some time with a quote.

"Everything you want lies the other side of your fear". Shame is a useless emotion, the only person you should worry about letting down is you. And the only thing truly hard to forgive yourself for is not the risks you took that didn't pay off, rather it's the risks you didn't take that could of.

So today, I say feel the fear and go for it. The only person you will truly let down if you don't is yourself.

You Can Have Him, But Do You Really Want Him?

Girl meets boy. Boy starts flirting with girl. Girl likes boy. Girl finds out that boy has a girlfriend. Girl is like WTF?

Sadly, its a tale as old as time scenario which I am sure we have all experienced, witnessed or advised on. You meet a guy who seems perfect, and what is even more perfect is he definitely likes you. Everything is going swimmingly until someone else, in some cases him, drops the bomb that he has a girlfriend. What is even weirder? His flirty behaviour and longing looks don't stop now the jig is up. If anything, they get stronger. Here you find yourself in a weird WTF twilight zone. 

I have witnessed so many friends go though this. Nice girls. Who have sat back so many times before and watched a ballsier girl get the guy, or had a ballsier girl in the same situation, steal theirs. After a while of nice girls finishing last, a few have asked me should they just mean up and take him. I mean, he obviously isn't happy, in many cases he may have even told them so. Maybe he just needs a helping hand. You are clearly what he wants and for once in your life its time you won something right? Wrong. He aint no prize honey.

Why? In this situation the ball is entirely in his court. Whilst I understand how he could meet someone else (you) he likes more than his current (shit happens) it is totally not OK to just pine emotionally for someone else (you) for too long without any action to rectify his home situation and move on. Men like this are weak. They do no favours to you, or his current girlfriend.

I mean, who the hell does he think he is? Has he even told his girlfriend that he is having second thoughts in the relationship, giving her a chance or a heads up? Or does he just think he is some kind of irresistible pimp that both you must want? I bet that if his girlfriend knew he wasn't 100% in, she could start winking back at a few men in her life too. But he is not giving her that benefit is he? No, because he likes holding all the cards. You're blind, she's blind, he's a pimp.

Personally, one of the worst things in the world for me is to be with a man who secretly wants someone else but is too chicken to tell me. You having second thoughts bruh? I like to know these things because if you don't want to be here, I don't want to keep you here. This isn't jail, and I am not your parole officer. So many times guys build it up in their head like they are doing their girlfriend a favour by sticking with her when they would rather move on, but in reality that is just boosting their ego. 

Anyway back to you. You don't want to get in on this messy BS. Dip you toe in and you will surely drown.  He is the one who needs to recognise his feelings and act accordingly. Like a man. He should sort out his relationship first and if it is worth salvaging- do that. If it is dead, he needs to end it- and then come for you. Otherwise he is just weak- someone who gazes at what they want without the courage to go get it. And do you really want a guy like that? Only for you to have him and then in a few years he starts pining for your friends, whilst in his head you are second best? No honey. To someone else you will be first. 

My advice, do nothing. Keep being nice (he may be sorting things out in the background) but DO NOT get involved. A relationship takes a lot of unpacking and there is enough to sort out between the two of them without you. You will only become collateral damage if he does sort it out with his girlfriend and if he leaves her due to your advances, you end up with a booby prize- a weak man, who can't act on what he wants.

That's my take on it anyway. Hope it was helpful :)

Jennifer Lawrence, Jenifer Aniston and Solange: The benefits of beingunapologetically you.

As Jennifer Lawrence launches the new Hunger Games movie, Jenifer Aniston launches Horrible Bosses 2 and Solange Knowles gets married in a refreshingly  original wedding for the books, I have to sit back and admire what a wonderful month this has been for women who are unapologetically themselves. All of the women aforementioned have managed to stay refreshingly and authentically original, in an industry and media that piles on the pressure to conform.

Jennifer Lawrence 

                           

Let's start with Jennifer Lawrence, the irreverent  talented actress who stumbled at the Oscars, not once but twice. I love Jennifer for her unpredicable bursts, refusal to engage in bitchy woman bashing, outspoken nature and of course the fact she represents 5 charities. I have no doubt that this untameable shrew  would be a publicists worst nightmare, unpredicatable & candid, she certainly isn't just tits and smiles. And yet we love her. Because she reminds us we are all flawed, yet beautifully so.

Jenifer Aniston

                              

                       

And then there is Jen, who in a sea of being annoyingly compared to Angelina by the cruel and unimaginative media, still holds her head high and occasionally even makes light of the matter. Years after the original scandal, thousands of tabloid covers have been written- mocking, stabbing and biting at her- and you know what? No one has seen her break a sweat yet. 

Solange Knowles 

                             

Then we have Solange, who instead of linger in the shadow of her sister, chose to make her own sunshine and grow. I  read an annoying quote once, it went something like "always be yourself, unless you can be Beyonce, then always be Beyonce". What rubbish. No one can be Beyonce, except Beyonce ( and I am sure sometimes even she must struggle to meet the high standards of her public image). No one should try either, because each person has their own original magnificence to share. No one epitomises this more than Solange, who although being in prime position to take notes on copying Beyonce, chose to instead be herself. Afro and all, wedding and all, eclectic style, music and all. Solange I admire and salute you.

So my note today is be yourself. Always and with no exceptions. Don't you dare want to be anyone else. Because there is only one you, and when you perfect being you, the world will be blessed & so will you. 

Happy Tuesday y'all

Love

Avon Beauty Bus: Christmas Collection Lust List & SS15 Wish List

Yesterday Avon embarked upon their annual beauty bus tour, taking over the city in a cute pink vintage beauty bus which was packed with beauty must haves from this season and the next. I caught up with them outside Vogue House in Hanover Square, where the fabulous girls at Vogue were dropping by to get their nails done by celebrity nail artist Kim Treacy (who told me she just did Kiera Knightly's nails last week) and lips painted by celebrity makeup artist Liz Pugh whilst catching up on all that's new with Avon.

From their origins of intimate community selling Avon is built on the legacy of listening to women's feedback to create products that actually work, that women really want, at prices we can all afford. As well as community sales, modern Avon also operates online as a convenient one stop online beauty store haven, meaning your beauty Christmas shopping just got one click easy. I was thoroughly impressed with their Christmas 2014 collection as well as their SS15. Both are filled with great, quality products I was all too happy to get my hands on.

Celebrity style master class. How to look fat when you're not.

First up, this has nothing to do with weight and these women are certainly not fat, this is to prove that whatever weight you are, the wrong clothes, in the wrong order can conspire against the best of us. But don't worry, I am here to show you where the are the pitfalls and how to avoid them.

I actually Googled to see if Kiera Knightly was pregnant after seeing her in this dress on the Jonathan Ross Show. But no, it is all the fault of this shapeless, criminal dress.

1.  Rule number 1. Don't wear clothes that are too big and have no tailoring.

Even if you are slim, this is a no no. What ever size you are, tailoring is your friend. This dress is criminal. If one must ignore ones waist, opt for a well tailored, straight cut shift dress ( think Twiggy in the 60s). However this dress breaks all the rules of flattery , its shapeless and has a poor attempt at design through these awful curved  lines around the boobs and stomach, giving a convincing illusion of big belly and droopy boobs.

Face stunning, skirt certainly stunning- not sure in a good way, but I'll let it slide, this outfit is a combination of the typical how to look fat no no's.

Rule 2.
Let big boobs breathe.

Ladies with big boobs hear me now. Nothing makes us look bigger than covering up large ta ta's with a crew neck. it gives uni boob. You have to let those girls breathe.  A skin tight crew neck with horizontal lines is one sure way to make you look bigger than you are. 

Rule 3.
Don't get too busy. All the patterns and horizontal lines and tightness just equal an overall too busy look that is unflattering and fattening.

#OOTD Get the Look Chelsea Casuals

Sometimes I just like to surround myself with pretty things and force myself on a walk. No where ticks those boxes more than Chelsea. With ridiculous transport links to the rest of London, it is pleasantly secluded, and forces one to walk in order to enjoy. Up for the challenge my main chick Princess-Anna-Anastasia and I headed Sloane Square for a walk down Kings Road. The the road was dressed in its Christmas best, sparkly, glistening and charming. Sometimes its a good idea to surround yourself in beauty. So pick up a coffee, grab an old friend & get lost in a new part of town. See how to get the look below.

Boots: ALDO, Jacket and Scarf Zara, Bag, River Island, Henley, H&M

Reset Monday. Change your outlook, Change your life.

Although loathed the world over, one thing that can be said for Mondays, they offer the opportunity of a fresh start, and a renewed outlook on life.

I came across the following video last night and had to share. It is all about repositioning your outlook on life. As opposed to looking to take, you are looking to give. Give your talents, your time, your love and apply this outlook to every challenge and moment you engage in today.

For example, 

on the bus: give a smile: you are giving someone else the opportunity to smile.

at work: give 100%: you are giving your colleagues an opportunity to experience you at your best

with friends and family: give 100% attention: you are giving them the chance to truly connect with you.

The great thing about giving is you receive. It's a fact of life. As you approach the day, not from "what can I take?", rather "what can I give?", the day will open up for you, opportunities will make themselves available to you, and you will attract more giving like minded people.

You were made to give your greatness, and you have it in abundance. Today, share it.
