As you all know (or as i have so subtly mentioned alot), colour is the shiz right now.
If you're a little more game, then the bold pops of colour will travel from your top down to your bottoms, like a tradie giving a young girl the hairy eyeball as she walks past....yeah I went there.
Coloured pants are what i'm on about, the next generation of colour blocking, making that commitment to invest in some good quality leg covers is a big thing. You need to have that sit-down conversation with your pants and discuss cost per wear "I know that you are a must-have item Mr pants, but where will i wear you? and will i wear you often?" and Mr pants will reply "EVERYWEAR and ALL THE TIME!!" as to which you will purchase Mr pants with excitement and a little bit of fear.
I had said conversation with a lovely pair of pants at SABA the other week, after sending a pic of them to mum with a "nay or yay?" underneath (who better to justify a purchase than your parents?), with a yay reply i hurried back to the store and lay-by'd my 'lil heart out.
These are the glorious new addition to my wardrobe:
As these are a bit of a man-style i figured a tight fitting top would go very well
and to support my thoughts of why coloured pants are the shiz here are a few pictures of other people who think they are the shiz:
It seems teaming Mr pants with a white tee is the way to go i say! happy pantsing!
If there's one important thing you need to know, it's that i love love love make up.
yes that's right you had to know that.
I always treasure the beauty section in every magazine with any new ideas they could give me,new prods brands are bringing out, and what designer is doing what their models' faces and such.
I also don't mind trying colour, whether that be on lips, cheeks, eyes or feet (maybe not that one). I find i'm the one who buys those coloured eyeshadows that are on sale 'coz no-one is game enough to try - but i am!
It certainly excites me and takes up 45 minutes of my 60 i have to get ready for work in the morning, so you could say it's an addiction.
I have compiled some 'looks' that i desire to mimic this season as they are just super cool:
Matching lips and nails
Dark eyes pink lips
Turquoise eyes
fuschia cheeks
black and yellow smokey
Metallic fantastic
Leopard eyes
Pastel pouts
straight and dark
Lolly lips
I've met girls who plan their outfits the night before, I plan my makeup the night before and work my outfit around that...
I kind of think that the face is like the front cover of a book, it tells you a little about itself but you have to look past that to find out what the book is about.
It's often a first impression, and a last one, and it's how you most engage with other people.
And i want the person i'm engaging with to think "daym her lippy is mighty fine".
So spend a night (or day) at home infront of the mirror and just play around with all that stuff you've got lying around the bottom of your make up bag and see what you come up with, and not just the obvious, lipstick as blush, cream colour as a shadow base for intensity, dipping a thin brush in water and then in shadow for liquid liner, just go with it, why not.
