Freehand panelling is one of the most popular salon hair painting techniques this season. It can achieve anything from soft and sun-kissed blonde looks to more prominent and bold results.

Freehand Contouring & Amplifying

A huge trend in makeup has been adopted by colourists. Contouring allows you to highlight, shadow and visually define the shape of the haircut.

Soft Shading

Inspired by the New York fashion scene, this technique creates a gentle transition from the darker root colour, to lighter, softer tones
through the mid-lengths and ends.

Blonde Contouring

Enhance the shape of the cut with this face-framing, Haute Couture technique. Inspired by makeup contouring, this colour technique accentuates edges and creates a focal point to a haircut.

Nineties Called

Hm Denim Jacket, Zara White Shirt, Mango Flared Trousers,and Stan Smiths.

When I was looking through Pinterest yesterday (follow ours here) I have been pinning a lot of wide trousers looks or kick flare trousers to just detract from the daily Denim, which can suffocate my creative juices from time to time. It occurred to me that this look was familiar to me and then it hit me, I wore this exact look head to toe back in 1998. There I was only 17 years old, a mere whipper snapper, and I had just spent my entire weeks wages on a French Connection Denim Jacket from the local designer boutique, which was such a great fitting jacket back in the day. So there I was with my Jigsaw Black Wide Leg trousers, White tee and Nike Cortez. Im not so into Nike Cortez this time around, as I feel that they look cheap. I think its the sole that lets it down. So instead I have replaced these with my trusty Stan Smiths. This is one of the most comfortable, yet still feels smart enough to wear for the office or even doing the school run. The trousers mentioned here are from my recent Capsule Wardrobe series (click here for Inspo) I picked them up from Mango. They are a dead ringer for my old Jigsaw ones, those babies would of kept going had I not had actual babies and went up 3 dress sizes… moo!! Any who there is no good pinning over lost figures and make the most of the NEW figure you may of gained after doing your fair share in helping to populate the planet!

The outfit I’m wearing is a Denim Jacket I bought well over 3 years ago from HM. Its a classic,fitted style, with a White double pocket shirt from Zara, Stan smith trainers and the star of the show-Mango Kick Flare Suit trousers. I featured this recently in my How to Shop for a Capsule Wardrobe video and they are the longest trousers EVER!! so if your not 5’11 then you better know a good seamstress. Once you have overcome that hurdle the trousers just hug in all the right places and because it a concealed fastening at the front it really streamlines any hint of a food baby or in my case still hoofing around the old baby weight!!

Perfect Spring Shoes

Kaleidoscope Faux Fur Coat, Topshop Highwaisted Jeans, Primark Band tee, Topshop Mary Janes Journey Shoes.

How are we at Thursday already and more importantly April!! Its mad how we are now in full swing for Spring! While I have been musing on what fluid pieces to add to my wardrobe, I will be sharing this in the next couple weeks. I have been itching to add some more spring tones to my wardrobe and when I spotted these perfect babies from Topshop- Journey Patent Mary Jane Shoes these fitted the bill. I cannot begin to tell you how versatile these shoes are. They look great with jeans, Straight leg trousers, culottes, pencil skirt, and that is to name a few. Today I put them with my stepped Jeans from Topshop, Band tee from Primark. I finally found a band tee that I could get on board with Pink Floyd, what a band! My old faithful Kaleidoscope Faux Fur Jacket as it was a cool, crisp spring day, at this time of year most faux fur jackets have gone into the sale and you can pick yourself a real bargain and you may still get a months wear and pop it away to bring our for next Autumn/Winter. Admittedly the shoes do look Nude but they are more of a blush nude, so I have slightly dipped my toe into this current colour, which literally sends my inner tomboy screaming for the nearest tree to climb as I find the colour Pink just a bit too girly.

I hope you liked these recent purchase and if you want to know more about my journey with the whole Capsule Wardrobe, look out for my first video on this series on Sunday on our Youtube channel to learn all my tips and tricks on getting your perfect Spring Wardrobe together.

The Coat For Spring- Trench Coat

Primark Navy Trench, HM Cropped Khaki Trousers,Zara Cream Blouse and Topshop Mary Jane Blush shoes.

Hi Everyone I hope you have got through the first day of the week o.k. I must say the change in weather has got me chomping at the bit to start my Spring Wardrobe over haul, but I am restraining myself as you ‘never cast a clout until May is out’ or something like that!. With the glimpse of sun comes a little shuffle round in the outerwear department, and for me that means out comes the old faithful ‘Trench coat’. You really cannot go wrong with a Trench coat it is so versatile for so many occasions. The one im wearing is from Primark (similar here)! I bought it 2 years ago for £28 and its still going strong. Saying that though, at the end of the Summer I have my eye on a few more pricey Trench’s for when they go down in the Sale, as I’m not sure whether this one will see me through another Spring/Summer. This is what I called ‘backward spending’. I will talk more about this in future posts. As a Trench gives you that extra outer layer to protect you from a normal British down pour, but yet keeps you cool if that gorgeous sunshine comes a calling.

Will you be trying a Trench Coat this Spring? Let me know in the comments below. Also, have a goosey gander at the Trench Coats below that I have my beady eye on.
