Trends: All White Errthang

I haven't quite figured out what season we're in at the moment with the weather being so temperamental but one of my favourite trends this season is the All White trend. Trends such as this one works perfectly for me as it requires little to no thinking. I often find myself staring at my closet wondering what to wear but with the current trends of the season, getting dressed is easy peasy. Apart from the fact that this trend is a no - brainer, this trend is so chic! As I grow older I find myself gravitating towards smoother silhouettes, cleaner lines and softer colours. White on white not only looks chic and fresh but gives the wearer a revitalized look, especially if teamed with a sleek hairdo and clean make up.

Adding a pop of colour to an all - white ensemble looks gorgeous too. Uplift your outfit by adding a statement necklace, colourful handbag, or even a bold lip. The little details make such a difference to a look! Another easy way to uplift your look is to play with textures, clashing textures is a fun way to add dimension to your look while still maintaining that clean, polished look. 







  


Crystal Kasper from New Hipster posted this look some time back. I love how she played with different textures and paired the outfit with a barely - there gold sandal heel. 


 What do you think of this look? I'm so going to try it out!

Make Up Brush Set Giveaway

My dear friend, Neil Ramautar of Drama Queen Studios recently gifted me with a contour brush set. I've started taking a keen interest in makeup so I was quite chuffed when I received the brush set. Apart from skill, your tools are of greatest importance when applying makeup, from the makeup itself to the brushes. I do have a few big brand makeup brushes but I was slightly less than impressed when the bristles fell off, I thought I grew a pair of whiskers!

I was excited to try out this new set of brushes (partly because it was clean, I am so lazy to clean my brushes) and am happy to report that it is amazing! It makes application so easy and gives a flawless finish. Because I love these brushes so much I've asked Neil to give me three more sets so you too can feel as pretty as I do when I use em.  

The set includes a Foundation Brush, a Stippling Blending Brush, a Powder Brush, Contour Brush and a Concealer Brush and a swanky leather pouch for safekeeping.
