Pantone colour of the year - Ultra Violet accents in your makeup bag

I may be alone in this but each year I get excited about the release of the Pantone colour of the year.
Last years colour 'greenery' was pretty but nowhere near as exciting as the colour for 2018.

'A dramatically provocative and thoughtful purple shade, PANTONE 18-3838 Ultra Violet communicates originality, ingenuity, and visionary thinking that points us toward the future'

 I have spoken before about wanting to add colour into my overtly colourless wardrobe and this jewel-toned purple is the perfect place to start but this is going to take some building up to so for now I shall be adding the colour into my makeup bag.  I have been reading/studying up on colour theory (which I will share shortly) so I am feeling ok with making this colour work for me.

There are numerous items on my current beauty wishlist so I have picked a few of the purple items to share with you today. I own each of these products in different shades so know the formula for each is fantastic and they come highly recommended by me (and half the internet)

Are you excited to wear Ultra Violet this year?

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
