Glowing.

Since getting back from holiday 2 weeks ago my tan is slowly fading but I’m determined to keep the glow for as long as possible.  The best thing you can do for your skin is keep it hydrated. Use a light weight body mosterisor so your skin stays plump but not caked in a greasy residue, I find it best to do this at night before bed so it has all night to seep in. Similarly your shower routine is very important I’m using Right Guard’s shower oil it’s rich in argon, almond and coconut oils -great for your skin and smells amazing. It’s good to buff your skin over with the palm of your hand as not to scrub your tan away.

And finally for finishing touches I use Body Shop’s bronzing dry oil on my arms and legs to add that extra glow especially now my natural colour is fading a little.

 

A post on the perfect glowing makeup to match your glowing tan is to come, so stay tuned! 😀

The Big Black Bag.

The black bag is every girls staple. Its more wearable than the little black dress- the black bag can accompany anything from jeans and a T shirt on weekends to work to a night out. I just wanted to talk you through my favorites right now. With the black bag you need to consider what makes it different from other bags- think different textures something that breaks up the shape.

For everyday- Go Big. Think Tote, Shoppers, Box bags. Keep it black but consider contrasting leather with suede, gold or silver finishes and consider croc- a popular texture for the season.

From left to right. First we have River Island Suede and Leather Shopper bag £45. I love the croc suede, you don’t often see it, also the luggage tag adds a relaxed feel perfect for the weekend. Next along is Zip Top City Bag by ASOS £32- the all over crock makes it stylish and sophisticated, the gold finishes and boxy style make it perfect from the office. Next along is Pieces Tote bag in Contrast Black with Strap Detail £40, the perfect bag to wear on your shoulder suitable for any occasion and a good size for all your must haves. And finally Mango Hobo Bag £34.99- the most relaxed bag of them all but the slouchy nature is dressed up with the contrast black nylon with leather front pocket, perfect for Monday all the way through to Sunday.
