My autumn/winter 2016 mood board

Every couple of months I try to change up my look (as much as I can, given practical constraints like money and expectations of my job) and to help me come up with some ideas I always put together a little mood board.

In previous years A/W has been about the blacks and dark greys and browns. This year I want to try and add a bit more colour. Nothing drastic but maybe some rust's and purples and greens and maybe some nudes which seem to be EVERYWHERE at the moment.

There were a few trends from the catwalk that I feel like I will be able to incorporate into my looks with little expense and I think these are the way I am going to add the colour.




Bold earrings in beautiful earthy tones and touches of embroidery on my clothing or in my accessories are what I am going to aim to add to my wardrobe. And then there's the makeup which I haven't quite decided on yet but I'm sure black kohl will feature heavily !!

How does your look change in the winter ? Is there anyone that really inspires your look?

Products I have shared lately

I am going to try and find some sort of middle ground so I thought I would start with things I have been talking about elsewhere on social media lately. To start with we have my new favourite book (albeit that it is for children).

I think the pop of neon with neutral colours is something I want to experiment with.   what is your favorite illustrated children's book? Finally - my product of choice at the moment is Turner gouache though I am going to treat myself to some of these Shin Han hybrid paints this month to try them out I have set up an Amazon store with some of my favorites so it is easy for you to find everything I love in one place.   h...

Spring Summer 2017 Beauty trends

As I mentioned the other day in my Miles Donovan post now Christmas is behind us I am starting to think about my wardrobe (clothing and beauty) for Spring/Summer. As I am keener to experiment with my makeup than my clothing (office day job and strong reliance on black clothes that cover my belly) I paid most attention to the makeup looks and have I picked a few (more) of those that I would like to try to share with you. Do you change your look each season or do you have a go-to look you stick with? What is your favourite spring/summer product? Tessa
