Smart Casual

My outfit is for a day of running errands and meeting up with friends for lunch. I’m a big fan of basic staples, like a comfy flowy blouse, smartened up with a blazer coat, black statement floppy hat and a quirky blue stone necklace. This is such a simple, minimalistic outfit that can be easily put together to pull off the ‘smart casual’ look.  Im not ready to ditch the jacket yet so this light and trendy blazer alternative seems weather appropriate.
For my makeup I have done a simple smokey eye paired up with a muted brown lip.
Face: Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation in Light Beige 
Contour: Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit in Light to Medium

Festival Shooting in the Forest

What a fabulous weekend I have had! I was kindly invited to a Festival inspired photoshoot, organised by the makeup artist Jen Eachus. Festival season is swiftly approaching and being a festival lover myself, I was instantly interested in this event.
The photoshoot itself not only highlighted Jen’s astounding talent for makeup but also showcased the beautiful and dynamic ‘Soul Junkie’ clothing.  Soul Junkie is a Bohemian inspired bespoke boutique launched by Vanessa Mitchinson. Her aim was to create a contemporary selection of diverse looks from a range of cultures that can be worn particularly during festival season.  She expressed her love for spiritualism and wanted to interpret this through her Mystic collection. The bold and vibrant colours in these looks inspired me to mix up my summer wardrobe and dare to try something new!
The photoshoot was made up of three different looks:
1.) The Western Girl

 

2.) African Tribal
3.) Mystic

Spring Loving Style!

The dungarees craze is my kind of trend!
I love this Pinny/Dungarees style dress teamed up with a white collared shirt underneath. Florals are renowned to be associated with spring. I wanted to collaborate the spring florals into an effortlessly styleish outfit that would also be fit to face the Manchester chills.
After thoroughly rising my wardrobe of all its dark coloured knits and heavily insulated jackets, I thought it was about time to add a splash of colour! My HUGE spring clean was exactly what I needed, out with the old and in with the new.
