    MAC: Spring Colour Forecast

    As spotted on the runways from the Spring Summer 2010 shows, here are the hottest colours of this season! Work these colours into your everyday routine or add a rebellious edge to your look... try a deep plum on your lips for attitude you can't miss or dab some eyeshadow on the corners of your eyes for a soft focus. This collection's MUST HAVES - the Stacked! pigments and the super smooth Blush Ombre (pick depending on your skin tone). Add some serious damage by packing on the pigments on cheeks, eyes, and lips; they are designed to be layered for the ultimate impact! I simply cannot contain my excitement for this mega collection.

    Married To The Mob - Dazed & Confused SS10

    Photobucket

    Presenting to you - the Spring/Summer 2010 collection by Married To The Mob. Dazed & Confused is a collection that captures the sweet and sexy character of the brand through a whelm of colours and pieces that are easy to rock all year around. I've got my eye on the top pictured above, there's something about the cut and the colours that scream out something fierce. There's disco shorts for the booty lovers, 7/8 leggings (LOVE!) to wrap around your legs, and some great light jackets to throw over your outfit.

    Nivea Visage Young

    Photobucket

    Growing up as a teenager, I used to fight battles with my skin. I can't believe how many brands and formulas I tried out - foams, gels, cleansing oils, creams... I've been there and done that! If you're still looking for the ideal formula, Nivea may hold answers for you. Their product line aimed at teenagers to fight off impurities and shine is available at local supermarkets and pharmacies, so jump over and peep the range including a cleansing gel, mild exfoliating scrub, and even tinted moisturiser. Solutions for under $10... sounds perfect to me.

    Black Milk - Printed Leggings


    Warning - post is photo heavy! James Lillis releases his printed leggings collection, peep it! Feeling a little hit and miss with some of the prints, but overall definitely worth checking out. Highly recommended - Blood Bath, The Anatomist (both colours), Abstract Sky. Avoid - The Phoenix. Sorry... it's just a little too Ed Hardy for me. US$80, grab them here.

    Chanel Transfer Tattoos



    Photobucket


    This is one thing you can't miss out on for your collection - Chanel transfer tattoos, as seen from their Spring/Summer 2010 collection. The chains look great wrapped around the arms or legs, I'm looking forward to seeing some much more creative takes on this though! I had a snoop around, and found out that they're priced at just £49 for 55 transfers. Glad to see that Chanel is running something more affordable and to a different market. Available for purchase from march 1.

    Adidas x FAFI


    Photobucket

    Here are the final images for the Adidas and FAFI collaboration! The pictures were posted on her blog recently, and they were simply begging to be shared with you all... I'm loving all the looks - it's hard to describe other than saying that they're in true FAFI style! Two styles of kicks (in white) and the socks are to die for! Are you feeling the red and black tracksuits?

    Paul Smith x Evian


    Photobucket

    I've been a hoarder all my life. From collecting marbles from a young age, to clothes (haha!), to sneakers... one can never have enough of anything. I even went through an Evian stage. Not really the plastic bottle type, but the large glass bottles they release annually to celebrate the new year. Paul Smith has created the 2010 bottle with his signature touch - multicoloured stripes, to "complement the brand's vision of the Live Young campaign, by infusing health, youth and excitement into the design." New decade, new hoarding habits.

    Black Milk - Shredded Bodysuit




    Feeling a little too warm for a pair of leggings? Try the bodysuits, they're fairly promising if you're after something breezy. These shredded bodysuits are made from nylon and elastane, meaning that there's plenty of room for some tug and pull. US$120 (not including shipping), try this link.

    Black Milk - Eyelets


    The next installation from Black Milk leggings and designed by James Lillis - here are the Eyelets, quite simply because there are eyelet straps draping the legs. Such a clever concept that you can switch the straps from back to front, however you like. Grab these here for US$120. Shame for shipping!
