THE 3 B’S
Blush: Takes you from feeling drab.. to FAB in an instant! My favourite is by NARS » and comes in a stick to give your cheeks for instant glow - I use it as a lipstick too!
Bling: Take your outfit from ok… to STYLED with great accessories! Textured gold hoops, a statement necklace or layered bracelets can make your outfit complete. I love to shop Gimme » and Arms of Eve » for fab pieces and great quality.
Blazer: I recommend black as it instantly creates a polished look, and can go from day to night. Splurge on a Camilla & Marc » style you’ll own for years; or my fab find by AERE » it’s 100% linen with cotton lining and oversized, relaxed fit.
