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?!

Makeup: Laura Mercier Body Bronzing Makeup

Firstly I have been neglecting my blog a lot lately. However it was for a good reason.....news of that very, very soon!!!

This weather and cold is getting my skin down. When I say down I mean it is now almost translucent.....whitegirlproblems! Take a moment to grieve our long lost summer tans!! With the sun no where to be found and my summer glow a distant memory. Fear not, I have found a saviour thanks to one of my best friends....shout out to my sista from another mistta Lolly :) Laura Mercier's Body Bronzing is probably the best body bronzer out there for any skin tone. This is a hero in a bottle gals!! It gives you just enough bronze and glow without ruining you clothes; and it smells amazing almond coconut milk heaven. The price tag is the only downfall at €47.....but it's worth it. To get the most out of it and less of a bronze I add Soap and Glory's Glow Lotion to the mix also. These two blend like a dream. Who wouldn't want instant radiant, bronzed skin- without the long term commitment?! I'm hooked :)
