Style Speaks Louder

Over the last few weeks I have been using my height advantage to do a spot of modelling for my friend On, for his new fashion label WWYF.

On launched his label WWYF, pronounced 'wife' and which stands for Wear What You Feel, back in December 2014 on ASOS Marketplace, with a menswear collection followed swiftly by the womenswear that launched in January this year.

The brand's ethos is mirrored in the name 'Wear What You Feel' and is all about wearing clothes that are fun and feel right to you regardless of what everyone else is doing or wearing, WWYF is very much about dressing for yourself and having fun with it.

And working with On has definitely been fun! The clothes are laid back but carry a sense of playfulness and joy in dressing to please yourself.

The collection ranges from minimalist sportswear, including sky blue baseball jackets and luxe sweatshirts to Harajuku babe with a 90's normcore twist - think pastel coloured maxi pleats and edgy lace midi skirts.

Here are some of my favourite pieces from the women's collection:

Camel Wool Belted Coat - an essential for every wardrobe



Cute Fawn Sweatshirt - Eat your heart out Bambi!



Black and White Check Sweatshirt - Laid back chic



 Multi Fuzzy Jumper - This jumper is seriously soft! 

The Little Black Asymmetric Dress - a twist on a classic



Check out the collection on ASOS Marketplace and be sure to follow WWYF to keep up to date with all the latest stock drops and let us know what you think of the collection. What is your favourite?

London Fashion Week is my favourite of all the fashion week's, partly because I happen to live here, but also because I think the designers that show at London Fashion Week are some of the most creative minds in fashion.

There just seems to be an electric buzz in London during fashion week and the venues that host the catwalk shows are range from luxurious old listed buildings to the underground station at Kings Cross!

It was hard to narrow down my favourite looks for the London Fashion Week Round Up but here they are;

What were your favourite New York Fashion Week moments?

Nude make-up is always a beauty favourite. It looks effortless, timeless and suits all complexions as it is in essence a way to emphasise your own natural beauty. For me when it comes to make-up, less is definitely more, and that isn't to say that I don't use minimal products, its more about creating a minimal look. There is no dramatic eye needed here. I've had my day with over the top eye-shadow and I'm even pulling back on my black eye-liner obsession (I'm not wearing any eye-liner in these pics! rare for me!) .
Two products that I have helped me create this nude make up look are the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette and Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Matte Lip Tar, both of which were much desired Christmas presents from the hubbie. Thanks Sweetie x
I absolutely love the Naked 3 palette, which is all about rich rose golds and blush pinks. It includes a mixture of matte and shimmer shades to choose from so you can easily build up a deep and rich looking natural eye. I must admit I was dubious about the shimmer/glitter shades but when applied in small quantities to the middle of the eyelid they really add a pop of light and complement the matte colours.

My favourites so far are the matte shades in Limit, which is a beautiful dusty pink and Nooner which is a dark blush colour, I love putting Nooner in the socket of my eye to shade and add dimension. I like to then add dabs the glitter shades in Burnout or Buzz to the centre of my lid to add a flash of light.

The lip colour I have used is from Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics, who are a 100% vegan and cruelty free company, and of which I knew little of until I opened my presents on Christmas day, the husband had been doing his homework and knowing my crusade to only use products that are cruelty free had found this beauty brand from the U.S.

The Lip Tar comes with a little applicator brush which is crucial in applying the product. The product starts off as a gloss which later dries to a long lasting matte colour. A lot of reviews I read about this product say that it can be tricky to apply the product so that it sets evenly, but I haven't experienced this problem but I did notice that the Lip Tar is very thick and if you don't spread it out evenly in the corners of your mouth it can clump a little.



I was given the shade Hush which is a beautiful nude shade and after it sets it looks like a natural lip colour. Like your own lips but better!



I love that OCC is 100% vegan and has so many other exciting products, you can also purchase OCC in Selfridge's both in store and online.

Have you have tried any of these products or like this make-up look? If so please leave me a comment below, I'd love to know what you think. x
