Spring/Summer 2013 Gladiator Sandal Trend

I must admit, I've always been a big fan of gladiator sandals. That's why I was extremely happy to see that they are a strong trend for Spring/Summer 2013. The possibilities are endless and the designs presented on the runaways recently are absolutely beautiful! My favourite pair is by Altuzarra and I wish I had slim, long legs and  a healthy bank balance to be able to wear them :) They cots nearly £ 2000.

Etude House Lovely Cookie Blusher in Raspberry Tarte

Etude House  Lovely Cookie Blusher in Raspberry Tarte

I mentioned in my Valentine's Day Photo Diary post that I got more Korean products from my husband the next day. They arrived late, but I was very happy to receive them :) 

One of the gifts was the Etude House  Lovely Cookie Blusher in Raspberry Tarte. 

It is such a gorgeous shade- a bright fuchsia pink with delicate shimmer. It is highly pigmented and blends beautifully. You can see the colour payoff in the swatch below. It looks quite scary on the puff, doesn't it? 

A Classic Holiday Look

I always struggle to find comfortable and flattering swimwear, but I think that I finally have a solution. I found some gorgeous swimdresses for women  and I can't believe now that I didn’t think about getting a couple of them last summer.

The polka dot swim dress I found is from Bonmarché, the UK’s largest womenswear value retailer catering for women over 50 years. You might ask... why is a 25 year old looking at a website aimed at more mature ladies? Well... finding clothes and swimwear isn’t that easy when you are a size 20 as I am at the moment.

"London’s biggest fashion and style extravaganza, the first 2013 London Fashion Week is over. It was a chance for the world’s best designers and up-and-coming stylists to showcase their work, what you don’t see are the people backstage frantically caring for the clothes, ironing and making last minute alterations.
