London Fashion Week
From the beautiful sheer panels at Preen, Erdem and Alice Temperley to the jewel tones at Burberry, we saw some key trends emerging for the SS13 season at London Fashion Week. I particularly loved the pastel tones and the blending of different textures and patterns – everything looked so fresh! I’ve been reinterpreting the look by revisiting my Dior 5 Couleurs in 224 Swimming Pool this week.
Natalie Portman Nude Campaign
I really can’t get enough of Natalie Portman in the new Dior Nude campaign. The new mum is the perfect endorsement to the luxurious Dior Nude foundations: absolutely beautiful and always luminous.
Duchess of Cambridge Privacy
We’ve all seen the snaps (although if you’re anything like me, you probably felt a little guilty for it afterwards). The Duchess of Cambridge has such poise and grace that those topless pictures feel like a big injustice. Not that she’s showing the strain, though – she’s handled herself in an admirable, impeccable style ever since.
Early Morning Makeup
These autumn mornings are getting increasingly darker. It was a big wake-up call this week when I had a very early start and I was struggling to put my makeup on in the faint morning light – mistaking your liquid eyeliner for your eyeliner makes for a very sore eye!

DIOR 5 Couleurs Croisette Edition - Couture Colour Eyeshadow Palette 7g
I treated myself to this luxurious palette to wear on a hot holiday abroad, and the colours are simply divine. I normally favour 'natural' brown and nude eye shadows, so buying this shade of palette really was out of my comfort zone! However, I was really pleased to find that all these eyeshadows are sheer, buildable and very easy to wear. They are shimmery, apart from the middle blue shade, so they can be used as highlighters or blended over the top of other eyeshadows to add dimension. The colours all complement each other, do not crease (tested in over 40 degree, sweaty heat!) and look great mixed or used alone. Fantastic for a gentle, subtle wash of colour for a fresh 'Winter/Spring/Summer' face, or for a pop of cute 'pastel' colour on the eyes. Best of all, they complement both pale and tanned complexions, which makes searching for versatile 'holiday', compact make-up a thing of the past :)
