I Love Stars- The Twinkling Kind

     
Rose gold and cognac diamonds

Those who know me, know that I have a ridiculous obsession with Zoe & Morgan. When I first discovered them I heard ‘hallelujah’s’ in my head because I thought I had finally found jewellery designers who were absolutely in tune with the style of trinkets that I love. It's rock’n’roll meet magic. It’s 100% me. I also aught to tell you that the team at Zoe & Morgan are fabulous- I say so through my own personal experience with them. Once upon a time I wrote about them in my student newspaper and I thought I aught to let them know and sent a copy of my article. They were then later kind enough to have it up on their website- a gesture which was totally  unnecessary but one that I love and appreciate. For that reason, Zoe & Morgan, alongside their sister Ruth will always have my vote and recommendation. The rings featured here are on my personal wish list. Rose gold and cognac diamonds - one day they will be mine!!!

Victoria's Secret

Lily Aldridge for Victoria's Secret

So, its been a while since I last wrote. To be honest with you I haven't had a a lot to say...the world has been rather boring! Thankfully Christmas is all over and the new year has brought new interests. I'll be talking about makeup today and what might be nice for spring. A while back I was researching makeup and new looks when I came across Victoria's Secret Sexy Little Bride photographs. The face of the project is Lily Aldridge, who only recently married Kings of Leon singer, Caleb Followill. So, it is only fitting that a bride should star in the campaign. What I noticed however, in terms of the makeup they used on her, was that pastel shades were the in thing. Indeed, pastel colours, I think are refreshing and especially in tune with the fact that spring is on its way.  Pastels are happier colours, they are gentle, they also lead up to the brighter colours one might see later on in the year in the summer. there is also something angelic about pastel shades yet one must be careful and only use shades that work with the skin tone.
