Gatsby Darling

Hi Guys,

So today I am concentrating on one trend thats been forecast for this season. 1920's Flapper Style.
I skimmed over this trend in my Vogue Collection report, so thought i'd go into a bit more detail.

Who?
People who have been pictured channeling this trend recently include: Blake Lively in Marchesa, Clemence Poesy in classic Chanel and Emmy Rossum in Ralph Lauren, who went the whole hog with her hair and makeup also 20's style. 























What?
These three ladies all wore a mixture of 1920's style aspects.
Blake's mid length flapper dress was kept in period neutral tones and decorated with fringing and    sequins, the dress is pictured swishing in true flapper dancing style.
Clemence, pictured wearing a dropped hem mini also with fringing and a timeless, nude silk purse.      
Emmy Rossum wore a classic silk shapeless dress, livened with sequins, her short masculine pixie hair (very 20's) and red lips (see here for makeup tutorial: http://littlemisscouture2.blogspot.com/2012/02/make-me-over.html)

Wear?
Make this style your own:

* DressUp- Sequins, Fringing, short hems, drop                   waists, lace, and decorations galore!!
* Braless- Keep your chest flat and open (very   vogue)
* Nudes- Keep your colour tones neutral.
* Cloches and Turbans and Beaded hats.
* Silk- if you don't dare dress, then play this trend down in a silk shirt.














This trend was all about women becoming more powerful, at the same time and becoming more daring and dancing the night away: let your clothes speak for themselves!!!!

I hope you enjoyed this post, please follow or leave a message if you did :)

Make-me-over!

Hi Guys,

I felt like doing another Makeup post today, still a very trend based post but, on beauty rather than fashion. So my sister and I have been getting really into using skincare products recently, after watching reviews on youtube from "pixi2woo" and "fleur de force." Both of our skin's have improved dramatically!

So anyway, due to our new regime and reading Vogue Collections and seeing the makeup trends for this season I decided in the future I am going to be doing a few more Makeup trials and maybe even some Reviews...?

Makeup Trial One- 40's
The 40's trend was covered by both hair and make up this season. With hair styled in a classic 40's Victory Rolls style, by Preen, and Dior made-up their models with the 40's red lips and barely there eyes.

Dior:                                                                                            

Trial on my sister:



Trend tips- *Use two different Matt Browns one on the eye ball and the other to create a                   shadow in the crease.
                   *Use a plain, natural colour foundation and Matt out the whole face.
                   *Contour your cheek bones with a Matt Bronzer.
                   *Use a very fine lip liner to draw on first the shape of your lips and second to                     fill them in.

Don't forget to use your brightest Red Lipstick, this is NOT for the fainthearted!

Thank for reading guys and please leave a comment of any requests you have for tutorials or posts :)

Yummy Sundae

Hi guys!!!

So my post today is on 7/8 jeans. I love this silhouette, I thinks its very flattering and elongates legs, but it must be approached in a ladylike way.

An expert on this look is Miranda Kerr. I think she's super cute and always looks immaculate. She wears her 7/8ths with pointed pumps, casual shirts or plain Tees, and minimal accessories.

 *Casual Logo Tee
 *Leather jacket
 *Pointed Pumps
                                  *Oversize Bag and sunnies
                                  *Plain Tee
                                  *Simple Blazer
                                  *Cute feminine ballet flats














Here is how to make this look work for the coming season:

Mix it up with Pastels and Florals!!!
*Pastel Pointed Pumps
*Floral 7/8ths
*Oversized Ice Cream Colour bags (mulberry inspired)
*Light Silk Scarves, in your hair 
*And Miranda Kerr perfect make up and hair


Thank you for reading people, and please leave any messages of any future preferences or follow me if you like :D
