One of the most trendier options and super cute is definitely Mondays Swimwear, sarongs and so much more. Depending on ones personality sarongs are available in bright colours, sheer fabrics and sometimes boho! Short or long you wrap around the waist or shoulder to create a skirt like dress.
Fabrics like cotton, linen or viscose help stay cool when its warm out in more ways than one. For ex). This cute white ensemble with its easy breezy lightweight cotton fabric has that twirl worthy factor I can never quite resist. Yet, its eyelet detailing all around makes it pretty enough to wear morning, noon and night.
For those who want to dress it down, and still look chic, a jumpsuit or wide leg pant paired with a matching top, tank or tee – Bahhgoose is a great alternative and best of both worlds.

A good scrub & body oil (currently loving this one & this one) will help buff away any unwanted skin cells, is super moisturizing and provides suppleness and comfort to the skin, leaving a mouthwatering scent of fresh almonds.
If I’m looking to pamper my skin some more, I’ll follow up with a combination of many moisturizers, specifically Muscle Melt & Almond Delightful Body Balm. Its rich and melting texture leaves behind an ultra soft finish and is perfect for regular pampering routines. My skin has never felt so good!

Surrounded by bright lights and soft fabrics this weeks blog post takes place in Solarium. With its white floor and ceilings, natural textures and minimalistic tones, my absolute favourite was the oversize New York style loft windows.
A little less dramatic and slightly more neutral – a settle brow and basic lip. Keeping her eyes to a minimum…I must say she is looking beautifully bronzed.

After a long season of barely their makeup we decided to go for a warm and dewy glow with a dramatic gold, glittery eye and nude lip/ highlighter along the bridge of her nose, cheek bones and cupids bow.
A twist in the right direction, its time for the corny collins show – brought to you by ultra clutch hairspray.

In todays blog post, I am extremely excited to be sharing my most recent branding shoot, photographed at Mintroom Studios – generating new content for my website and social media platforms.
The Conservatory with its white walls and and open feel was the ideal location to showcase a wedding inspired picture, in a simple and creative way.
The big stain glass windows really allowed light to shine through, complementing the brides hair and makeup perfectly.
Aesthetically the look of a blushing bride is one often that is requested. This shoot combines peachy gold tones with a fun and perfectly tousled pull through braid – perfect for spring and summer just around the corner.
