50 Shades of fashion


Have you ever wondered where fashion trends come from? 

Well believe it or not they are a result of what is popular in our society at the time!
What is the biggest film that year? Who is the most popular and influential popstar? 

For example:

The popular period drama "Downton Abbey" had a big impact on designers throughout 2012.

We're talking tweed, velvet, 3 piece suits, flapper dresses and vintage styling.






And remember when Cheryl Cole wore these outfits?




We all ran to the shops to see what military style pieces we could find and our favourite high street stores stocked up on this trend knowing it would be a hit as Cheryl was at the top of her game and we all wanted a piece of Mrs.Cole!

So is it any surprise that one of the hottest Spring/Summer 2013 trends is S&M?

Think leather,sheer panels,lace,harnesses and belts!

Is it really possible that we have been this influenced by Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele's unconventional love story?

Of course it is!

50 shades is the fastest selling paper-back of all time therefore it is no surprise that it has had such a big influence on designers such as Miu Miu, Mulberry and Valentino, which in turn translates onto our high street!


So girls dig out that leather mini (we all have one) and don't be afraid to show off your best assets through flattering sheer panels!

Sexy is definitely in and if you're going to do this trend you may as well go full throttle!

Cocoa Brown 1 Hour Tan Review

Image
With so many tans on the market claiming to be "the best tan ever" it's hard to know which ones are worth trying!  So many come with expensive price tags but that is not always an indication as to how true their claims are. As a pale Irish girl constantly seeking a tan I have tried numerous brands and formulas but never finding that "perfect" one. I have tried them all, from the high end brands to their cheaper counterparts, tanning wipes (disaster), gels, spray tans the list goes on and on!  I found tans that were beautiful when first applied but left me looking scaley after the first wash. Then there were some that turned out perfect but just took too many applications to get the right shade (not too light, not orange, not too dark..is that too much to ask for??!)  So on my never ending quest to find the "one" I decided to try the much talked about and much hyped up Cocoa Brown. The main reason I decided to give it a go was the m

All About The Base...

Image
When it comes to make up the most important part of my routine is the skin.  Yes I love a smokey eye, winged liner and perfectly arched brows but a flawless base is what brings any look together! In this blog I will tell you about the products I rely on to achieve that flawless finish. Primer:  I start off with MAC Prep & Prime Skin.  This evens out my skin tone, reduces redness and creates a smooth base for foundation while hydrating the skin. Concealer: Like many girls I suffer from breakouts, particularly on my chin.  I like to use Mac Pro Longwear Concealer to cover those spots before I apply foundation. If you are yet to find a concealer that covers your blemishes then this one is for you! Foundation: My all time favourite is Estée Lauder Double Wear. It gives the most amazing coverage and it does not budge.  It's heat proof, sweat proof, dance proof and the perfect foundation for nights out or occasions where you want your make
