I love a good hat.......they add to any outfit and hide a bad hair day! What is not to love?! I adored Hedi Slimane's first collection for Saint Laurent (yes I am still getting used to the dropping of the Yves). It showed that a felt hat was now more than just a head-warming accessory, it was now a fashion statement. It was proudly displayed on the January edition of Vogue, with the felt hat taking center stage on Gwen Stefani. Gwen wore a full look from the collection on the cover.....swoon!!!!! The felt hat is now spotted on many women around the world. I love how you can mix it up, keeping it casual or dressy. I have one from Nasty Gal which I love. My new lust is this Topshop beauty which you can get here!

Eye Candy Makeup Photo Shoot

Hey Guys,so I finally got my laptop back!! One of my friends Ger has recently set up her own makeup artist business called Eye Candy Makeup. You can find her on Fb! Like most girls I love my makeup....Mac is my guilty pleasure!! Yesterday my friend Laura and I did a photo shoot for Eye Candy Makeup. It was soooo much fun! Don't get me wrong I am no model, but we made it fun so there was no pressure. Ger did an amazing job on both our looks.

Laura had a more sophisticated, smokey look. She wore a dress from Zara, that she got for a steal in the sale, which gave her that VB designer look. Of course those long legs and beautiful hair made the look complete! I had a more pop pink look which was so cool for a change and totally out of my comfort zone. The eyes were a purple tone and I had an amazing bubble pink lipstick applied. I also had eylure lashes applied, which I never ever wear, but I think I may be a new false eye lash lover!! I wore a hounds tooth pencil skirt and a Topshop grey cropped top. In some of the images I wore a cool neon pink beanie from Topshop and some geek like specs. I thought Ger did an amazing job on both our make up applications. I will be using her for all future events, to feel that extra special!

Bowler Hats

The bowler hat trend has been on my radar for a while, but I have always been too chicken to pop that hat on my head....until now! That's right I finally bought this wardrobe staple *hurrrrah* Bowler hats are a quirky trend that give an indie edge to any outfit. The traditional bowler hat has that Charlie Chaplin round bowler head. As I have a rather large head, any time I tried one on I immediately took it off again. Thanks to Topshop my problem has been solved. The correct name is a Pork Pie hat, It is just more squared on the crown. Grab it here. This is a great version, even if the original style doesn't suit you. You can find the bowler version here. Who else loves this trendy hat?!

Style Crush: Kourtney Kardashian

Being verrrryyyy short in height, I find it frustrating at times to style myself. Miss Kardashian has proved it is very possible to be petite and still pull of stylish trends. Her outfit choices are huge inspiration to me. She is so gorgeous and definitely my favorite Kardashian.

Asos Picks

I made my Monday trip to ASOS for a look, it is a habit of mine. Most of us have spent hours trawling through this site. I hope I am not the only one who fills up a basket and struggles to log off....MUST NOT BUY MORE CLOTHES!! The great thing about ASOS is they are always on trend....floral, pastels...you name it , they got it. I decided to share some of my picks. I could spend hours on this site and pick loads of things, but I have kept it short and sweet for today, it is Monday after all ;) My list has a variation of items, a cool pink sweat top for chill out days to summery white denims. My fave is the Mango yellow maxi skirt, pair it with a white tank and the super on trend bowler hat....lovage!
