blanket coat


The new trend for A/W is the blanket coat it was seen on the Burberry catwalk worn by Cara Delevingne, the wool ponchos were made in muted reds, blue and yellows.

The likes of Kate moss and Olivia Palermo have been seen wearing them I personally think they look comfortable yet stylish a lovely way to layer up in the colder months but will you be jumping on the trend bandwagon?

Review l'oreal casting creme gloss light brown 600

when it comes to dying my hair I want it to be quick, easy and not damaging for my hair.
my hair is natural hair I have never used a perminate dye, 3- 4 times a year I like to use a dye just to make it a little richer in colour here is my review for lo real casting creme gloss.

 before use any dye you should do a tester spot to make sure your not allergic, the dye its self doesn't have a horrible smell to it like some do, you get the creme colour and developer you pour the colourant into the developer and shake really well.

you apply it to wet towel dried hair and apply it evenly through the hair and leave for 15 minutes was out the colourant and apply the apricot scented conditioner it smells so good wish they gave you a bigger sachets it doesn't last for the 28 washes that the dye is meant to last for which is a shame as it does really help keep the colour vibrant.

After styling my hair looks so shinny and healthy I have found in the past some dye don't last as long as they say but this really does last 28 washes. it washes out evenly so your not left with roots showing it turns out a few shades darker than may natural colour. I have tried several of their shades and they are also lovely and last a long time.

Jessica Alba white/grey copy

when it comes to style I have to say Jessica Alba has it down, she never seems to get it wrong, she always loves to play with different styles, fabrics and colours. Jessica was seen going to work with her daughter honour wearing a white and grey ensemble, it was effortless chic like always.

Its such a relaxed and comfortable look that can easily worn to work, or to do the day to day errands here is my take on the look enjoy!

Gold dress Jessica Alba inspired

Jessica Alba presented an award at the espy awards at LA's Nokia Theatre on Wednesday, Jessica wore a gold vintage haute couture Elie Saab dress and Brian Atwood metallic heels.

Freshly from her holiday she was glowing with a healthy tan which showed the dress to its best she wore her hair down and poker straight with a side parting.

Her make up was ultra glam bronzed with a dark smoky eye and a neutral lip, as it half way through the summer her in the UK everyone wants to show off their tans here are some of my favourite gold dresses that will show it off.

kim kardashian app

I have to admit though I'm not a fan of the Kardashian clan as they have no talent but are huge celebrities I have watched an episode or two of their show. I found Kim to be self involved though I really liked Khloe she comes across as the best one out of the lot caring, funny and more real.

You would think with all the projects Kim has clothing, makeup TV show she would be making enough money but no, she has now released her app on how to be an A -Lister that in its self is disturbing as its aimed at young girls and they already have the wag and wanting to be a celebrity mentality instead of having a career and working hard.

The app will rake in 85 million dollars for Kim, the app its self is free but for example Kim takes you shopping in the app for ever five thousand dollars you spend in virtual world you spend $4.99 in the real world so you can see how that it going to add up as she has expensive taste.

Putting aside what I feel about Kim herself I find the concept of the app really sad if the world isn't all about celebrities enough I can see teens to early 20's interested in this app as they are part of the I want to be a celebrity when I grow up generation this is just feeding into this notion of I want to be famous without having a career just being famous for the sake of being known.

when Kim takes you shopping on the app and is telling you "bible you look hot" "that looks amazing on you" peoples bills will add up and how will the younger fans be paying their parents the bills could add up.

I cant  see people wanting to play this game for hours on end surly it would get boring spending money on virtual clothing that you cant actually wear with the money you are spending you could go ACTUAL shopping for things you can actually buy and wear.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE APP? WOULD YOU BUY IT?

'I love that on you!' Kim's self-titled game app allows players to select clothes, hit the clubs, and 'fall in love' as vapid house music swells in the background

summer look






 
 
For my base I made my own tinted moisturiser a used a pump and half from my no7 foundation in calico with a pump of simple lluminising lotion with spf15 and a pump of Loreal lluminising primer.
you may think too products with luminiser in would be too much but  it gives you skin a healthy glow. I then used the no7 concealer in calico under my eyes and to cover up a few blemishes, I didn't use a powder to set as I had a nice blow from the cream and primer I didn't want to loss that glow.
 

Instead of using a shadow I used the bronzer from my Estee Lauder cheek palette all over the lid and couple of coats of boots natural black lash curl mascara.

For my cheeks I used the soap and glory face highlighting powder to highlight my cheeks and applied Estee Lauder plum blusher.

To finish off my summer look I applied boots natural collection raspberry high shine lipstick I just dab this on my lips to get a pop of colour.
