I love fashion just as much, if not more, than I love makeup as anyone who knows me will second . And this week I was wondering what to post and I thought why not put together a complete look from the clothes thru to the makeup etc etc. just as I did with the wedding look , which was a lot of fun to do. I came up with this as I have summer on the brain. Not because summer has arrived but because it keeps threatening to arrive but only staying for a couple of days before needing to throw a jacket on again and think about turning on the heater! All I want to do is throw on one layer with a pair of sandals - nothing else! The other reason I chose this look is because I would definitely wear it….. the makeup is fresh and pretty , the hair is simple but with a twist and the Valentino sandals are on my wish list . Alongwith the ring which I added to the look because right now it is top of my wish list :) It is by Nga Waiata- big and bold - made of wood and blue agate.. a definite lust have. (maybe if I'm good for xmas ) . Enjoy your week. x

 My favourite eye makeup of all time would have to be the cat eye and it's many interpretations. I , myself , have worn it for years ( probably even when it wasn't fashionable but it suited me so I stuck with it ) . As I have gotten older I have gone from a black cat eye to a green cat eye so that the look is softer and more in keeping with my style these days. But this colour is to die for and if I were younger it would be my look right now…. anywhere and everywhere including the supermarket! I love colour when used properly on the eyes and the shape of the cat eye - going right into the corner of the eyes, and the simplicity of the look with a natural lip and strong brows is pure style….. and her gorgeous freckles complete the look for me. x
pic: courtesy of Pinterest I was asked by Lover.ly - ( a great wedding website for brides to collect ideas and organise their weddings) - to put a makeup look together for some of their wedding dresses. This was something I was excited about as I could choose any look I wanted to match the dress….. I chose the dress below to coordinate a look for , as I love the move away from the traditional wedding dress and into something more sexy and wearable. I love colour on the eyes when used properly and this dress was the perfect opportunity to show how this could be done, with those gorgeous lilac ombre ruffles - I wanted the softness of this colour to be translated in the eyes. With a soft black line under the eyes and along the upper lash line, it gives a slight smokiness to the look which is stunning. ( Notice how the black line only goes half way under the eye so as not to close the eye and make it look too harsh). Also the lips are left quite neutral so that the eyes are the focal point. It's a look that is not your typical bridal look but , in keeping with the dress, a look that says sexy and classy on your special day. It is also something that works well for both blondes or brunettes.

I take inspiration from my friends and women I meet in my work. These women are the reason I started this blog , so that I can pass on my knowledge and help women to keep looking, and feeling amazing . I love finding new looks that inspire and you can adapt to your own style . I am also a mum with 3 boys which keeps my life very busy ... and never dull as anyone who knows me will attest to!
