Elizabeth Taylor.


Another day a different look.

Just because sometimes your life can be stuck in a rut it doesn’t mean that your look has to fall with it.
Applying my daily makeup routine I realised that something I once enjoyed doing has become a boring but necessary standard procedure.  When did life become so mundane?
It’s time to take note from the stylish women around us that have inspired, entertained or simply made you double take and look twice!  
I have always taken inspiration and collected looks and adapted them to what suits my emotions on that day. There is a particular woman that I look to for my beauty regime or for tips on how to put together and accessorise an outfit. This flawless lady has been an example to generations of women over the years and I class myself as one of them. Elizabeth Taylor, the beauty queen, the silver screen legend and one of the most enigmatic style icons that ever existed. She is a woman that always knew how to enhance her attributes from her beautiful features, her distinctive violet eyes, to her curvy body. Wearing her low cut fitted dressed illustrated how comfortable she was with all she was given and this sex appeal oozed onto the screen and led her to be admired by all men and women alike.  The things that I love about Lizzie’s style is that in sharing that curvy body with most normal women and girls she has set a good example and made us feel proud to live in our own skins. She always dressed well for her body shape and that is something that everyone should take notes on. It’s something that takes time to learn and who better to be your teacher than the mistress of glamour, Elizabeth Taylor.
Her statement eyebrows, enhanced with her bold eye makeup to accentuate those trademark violet eyes contrasting with her plump red coloured lips is a look that never fails.
Take your tips from this goddess of beauty!



Kate Moss is the Boss.




When walking down Oxford Street you experience more than the buzz of the crowds and the smell of the streets as your push your way through the structured maze. Grazing against secret souls, you would never expect to come across the soul of the party that is Kate Moss! Despite the tube strikes the crowds were out to see Kate Moss reveal her new collection for Topshop and the wait has been way too long since her last collaboration for the most popular hight street brand.




Be aware there is nothing High Street about this collection. The fabrics, the detailing are incredible and the price tags are to match…yet you can’t help but let these items burn a hole in your mulberry purse because after all Kate is the Guru of fashion and if Kate’s name is on the label you know you’re rocking catwalk standards.
When I laid my eyes on this bohemian festival frenzy I could see that she has put a lot of her own style inspiration into this collection and this is responsible for setting her collaboration against the best of the rest. This collection is full of paisley patterns, rugged florals and Aztec prints, with a splash of dreamy embellishment, flawless beading, tailored suits and much needed fringing.
Of course this collection is selling out quicker than a call of duty pre sale but as an owner of Kate Moss’s previous collaborations the items never get old and investing in even only one piece will be something that you will never regret.
Kate you will always be a fashion icon and I think its about time you started branching out on your own label. Let us pray that Kate continues to make the most of her talent as a designer.
