Inspired by // Miles Donovan Solar System (2) C/2011

Now that we are post Christmas I am starting to think about the fashion and beauty trends for S/S 2017 and have spent many hours browsing Vogue for catwalk pictures from designers big and small.

I was then separately browsing Pinterest (as you can do for hours on end) for collage artists (my new obsession) and stumbled upon this picture which I later found out was by Miles Donovan.

Upon seeing this picture a light bulb went off in my head - the colour palette was nearly identical to that used by Nino Banukhadia in their Spring/Summer 2017 RTW collection.




The varying shades of grey will cool yellows and khakis are beautifully offset by the warm reds used around the eyes.

This is a colour palette I could incorporate into my wardrobe and makeup this season quite comfortably as it is not too far of a departure from the dark greys (and blacks) that I wear on a daily basis.

Red eyeshadow is something a bit different for me, though - I love the idea of being bold with my eyeshadow but I never am using my glasses as an excuse.

I'm going to try and work on that so have put together my warm eyeshadow wish list.


    Caramel Melange Eyeshadow Palette available from Cult Beauty* in the UK or directly from Zoeva

This pallette is getting rave reviews and if the quality is like the other Zoeva palette I can understand why.





  • 35 Colour Matte Nature Glow Eye Shadow Palette (35OM)
  •   available from Cult Beauty* (currently on a waitlist) in the UK or directly from Morphe.

I have the original 35O but seeing as it is the perfect palette for a warm red eye some version had to be featured. 

Coloured Raine Queen of Hearts which is available directly from Coloured Raine

This palette was a late edition to my Christmas list, but unfortunately, it was too late to have made it to my stocking. I do hope I get my hands on this as it is getting rave reviews and the swatches look amazing.

Seeing as I have been a bit palette heavy I thought I should mention some singles





Steampunk (DC) Showtime (F) Flame thrower (F) Cherry Cola (M) Morocco (M)

Makeup Geek Singles are available in the UK from Beauty Bay or directly from MUG and I haven't purchased a shade yet that I don't love,


Do you have any warm eyeshadow favourites?

Throwback post WWCW // Denim Jacket with Patches

I posted this blog in January 2016 - expect to see an update on the Denim Jacket in the next few weeks My first ever style icon was Clarissa which is probably showing my age somewhat and I have decided that 2016 is the year I go back to my (un)fashion(able) roots and make clothes fun again. To do this I am going to ask myself...   WHAT WOULD CLARISSA WEAR?? Answer number 1 is a pair of denim shorts with patches which isn't really suitable given my age so the next best thing.. A denim jacket with patches along the lines of these... I have yet to get the jacket (off to eBay I go) but I have already decided on a number of patches and pins (all of which are from Etsy) which as always I wanted to share.

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
