SOCIAL MEDIA SHARING // INSTAGRAM FAVOURITES #2

I am an avid social media follower and I check my Instagram, facebook and twitter religiously for news and updates so thought I should share some more of my Instagram favourites.





@nicolabrightondesign


I don't recall how I found Nicola's account but I am so glad I did because I love her designs. ESPECIALLY this camo flower embroidered jacket sent from the heavens. I am sooooo tempted to purchase one from her Etsy store but I am not sure the largest one would fit at the moment.


@makemeupmissa

I recently joined the facebook group Mrs Gloss and the Goss and one of the first live streams I sat down to watch were by Missa. She is absolutely stunning and her makeup skills are second to none so I set out to find her on Instagram and youtube. Before she posted this picture I wasn't sure that I needed the Jeffree Star Androgyny Palette but I think I do now

@Horrorshowgoods

Pin sellers are always in my favourites on Instagram and I just love this sandworm pin. I think I am going to get it to add to my collection whilst i save up for a Beetlejuice inspired tattoo

@jeffreestar

JS is one of my all time favourite makeup brands (i will do a post on my whole collection shortly) so I am excited about every new product but I am especially excited for this collab.

@mondoguerra


Over the last week, I have binged watched the two seasons of Project Runway that are now on Netflix (UK). Mondo is by far my favourite designer to have ever been on the show and I am so glad that his brand is now flourishing.  I love his whole aesthetic and one day will own some of his pieces.

@valleyeyewear

I have just been told I need new glasses so I have been scouring Instagram for some inspiration. Some of my favourite pairs have been from valley eyewear. Sadly these are not going to be easy enough for me to get my hands on this time round but they are beautiful to look at and I will keep checking back for inspiration.

More glasses but this time sunglasses and on a completely different end of scale cost-wise.  Sol Theory is a subscription box with a difference that I have seen a few people mention. each month it contains a fab pair of sunglasses and you can choose whether you add on some jewellery or makeup as well.  They ship worldwide so I am going to do some more digging and perhaps get myself a few boxes.

@Iamleah @kelseyannaf @sstrazzere @juscallmetara

aka The KvDArtistryCollective. These women are all so talented and completely imbibe the KVD aesthetic. Words cannot do their work justice so i suggest you go check out the YouTube channel


Gin has become my drink of choice over the last 12 months or so and I have finally decided there must be more to a spirit than Gordons (as nice as it is) so I was very glad to learn that my home city has their own gin distillery. I was even more excited when they posted that picture of Strawberry & Black Pepper Gin - how delicious does that sound !! I will be picking up a bottle at the earliest opportunity.

Etsy : The perfect place for a unique Advent Calendar

Over the past few years, I have shared with you my favourite unique Christmas cards, stocking fillers and tree decorations, all available from Etsy This year I want to share my favourite advent calendars. Maybe like me, your children are growing up and so they will appreciate a unique advent calendar for the treat it is, or maybe you would like the joy your family members get from opening their gifts to extend beyond the one day, or perhaps (also like me)  you just want to treat yourself a little bit. The possibilities with Etsy really are endless, and there are many more options than those that I am sharing, so I would highly encourage everyone to grab a cup of their favourite hot beverage and spend a fun 30 minutes persuing these sellers, and many more besides that. For the foodies, I have a list of food-based calendars  that contain items such as pork scratching and cheddar cheese, alongside those containing the more traditional chocolate options.  Cheesies Advent Ca...

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. (c) Miles Donovan  (02/12/2011 20.20 UTC) Solar System (2) C/2011  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.

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
