Happy Easter for tomorrow my lovelies! What are you wearing? I am wearing my vintage jeans  and my white top with the lace sleeves from La Redoute annd my new cardi (see last post) If you ever feel you can't afford all the things I put up, feel free to go onto www.roiworld.com for all the latest style dress up games! When i couldn't afford things I went onto roiworld and created gorgeous fashions :)

Country Chic

Hey people, I went back to Primark today, and got a cute cotton and viscose cardigan in cream. I made a country chic style by teaming it with my gorgeous sleeveless shirt in colour caramel from La Redoute (check it out- you can even get a FREE red trench coat with your first order, while stocks last!) and my vintage denim jeans. I stuck on some gold and white jewellery for glamour, and red lips, then I carefully curled my hair and voila! Instant gorgeousness xoxoxo

Primark

Hey people! I'm on me holidays  now, at my aunties. It's lovely, in the country, with nice clean air but she also has fab shops nearby her, shops that I don't get at home. Hands up who likes Primark? I bet you do! Today I circled a H-U-G-E primark today, and got some bleached jeans for £9.00 (bargain or what?!) and a bunch of colourful tops. If you get the essentials, like skinnies, a couple o' print tees and long sleeved tops, you can then mix and match, like Sadie J. She can be ridiculously out there, but she has her own style. She usually has a long sleeved top, with either a vest or a jumpsuit or short dungarees over. She hardly ever wears trousers, usually tights/leggings under shorts. Then accessorise with a trilby hat, a cute jacket and a necklace! Have natural make-up, and let your clothes do the talking! Mwah, darling!

Hippy Chic

I love the hippy chic look-it really gets me into the mood for summer :) Think florals, floaty tees and beach babe hair. Here's a little tutorial on how to do a gorgeous halo braid.
1. Make an off-centre parting.
2. Start the braid. take a strand of hair from the front and start plaiting.
3. Once you've done a couple of turns, start to take pieces of hair from the front and back, as you would a french plait.
4. Once you get to the ear, stop filling in and take a couple of turns, returning to a normal plait.
5. Pin the braid behind the ear using kirby grips.
6. Brush and fix. Use hairspray to texture. Spray on the braid.

River Island is a lovely place to get the hippy boho look.

Vintage Style :)

I love all things vintage. Whether its scrapbook papers, ephemera, makeup. clothes...anything! Today I decided to try out a 50's movie star style. As I don't have the right make-up to do this, I used my watercolours (though I don't advise you to do so). First, I put on some concealer and foundation. I added a little highliter to my cheecks and chin, and shader to under my chin and just under my cheekbones sweeping down to the corners of my mouth. I have quite a chubby face, sort of square-ish, and I read that doing this would make the face seem slimmer. I applied lash-lengthening mascara then got started on the focal points of the face. I put lipliner on forst, carefully outlining right to the corners of my mouth. Then I filled in with red, even in the corners, and applied Vaseline over the top to seal the colour in. Then I used black to create a beauty spot just underneath the corner of my nose, where the chubbiness finished. Ta-daa! Instant movie star glamour. With my brown curls it looked stunnning :)

Fashion and Beauty's Hottest

This season it's all about prints and pastels. The biggest prints are:

• Bird-silhouette preferably.
• Floral
• Heart (try ditsy hearts print for a geek-chick look)
• Polka dot
• Car prints

The pastels have been all over the catwalk on the spring/summer shows. Forget ice cream colours though-think muted bold hues! Ditch rich winter shades like mustard for a zingy lemon. Don't be afraid to clash colours, create a totally unique look!
