Glow Baby Glow.
Contrary to how it may appear, finding that perfect balance of 'glow' when it comes to skin is not the most easy. Treading the thin line of shiny (yes, that dreaded word that has had us stuffing our bags with blotting papers), that fresh faced glow is made even more difficult for those cursed with combination to oily skins. One word; t-zone.
Never the less here is a combination of products all from Hourglass which we have been testing out to achieve that perfect finish, and have subsequently fallen in love with.
a. Hourglass "Nº 28 Primer Serum"
b. Hourglass "Veil Fluid MakeUp No 2"
c. Hourglass "Ambient Lighting Powder in Radient Light"

“If I'm alone at home, I get increasingly restless, bothered by the idea that I'm missing some crucial encounter out there somewhere. But if I'm left by myself in someone else's place, I often find myself a nice sense of peace engulfing me. I love sinking into an unfamiliar sofa with whatever book happens to be lying nearby.”

“What was beauty unless you intended to use it, like a hammer, or a key? It was just something for other people to use and admire, or envy, despise. To nail their dreams onto like a picture hanger on a blank wall. And so many girls saying, use me, dream me.”

Vanessa Axente for Calvin Klein
Thursday, 18 July 2013
In their simplicity, Calvin Klein Campaign's are virtually timeless and their latest one is no exception. Photographed by the dynamic dup of Mert & Marcus, Vanessa Axente (we first noticed her walking for Alexander Wang last season) looks beautiful, modern and elegant. Featuring looks made up with dark leathers and shot in black and white, the Campaign is rather dark and ever so captivating.
Vanessa has something a little Christy Thurlington about her, no?

Theyskens' Theory Resort 2014
Wednesday, 5 June 2013
Alright so Olivier Theyskens admits that he is "kind of obsessed with cool girls". Surprised? We're not.
This (resort) semi-season, Theyskens' Theory gave us their usual monochromatic neutrals mixed with sharp tailoring, whilst as per usual delving into the world of crazy unknown textures. We can't get enough of the collection's '90's esque sportswear, with the re-introduction of the good ol' crop top and the bomber jacket. And who can miss the showcasing of the new and improved Theysken style bermuda short.
In opening our eyes to new textures, Olivier shows us glimpses of technical materials, in the form of dense 3-D mesh and a silk embossed striped multi-purpose fabric. Hint's of skin are layered with tailored pieces such as a narrow tailored french blue (as well as patterned) pant. Whilst full-skirted silhouettes are draped with fur and tattered denim jackets.
As for the colour palette, tones of not-quite-black are meshed with stark white, stone grey and denim blue. Creating an overall very versatile collection, Olivier focused on the "real essentials" with the strongly edited look book focussing on those quintessential wardrobe basics (of the chic Theyskens' woman... of course).
