World's Most Fashionable Baby??

She may be just 2 months old but little Harper Beckham has just been to her first fashion show at New York Fashion Week! Is she not the coolest bub around? Or is Queen Victoria a workaholic for taking her to work with her? Either way, I think Harper's pretty damn cute!

Ginge of The Week: Mulberry AW 2011 Campaign!

I'm certainly loving Mulberry's AW Campaign,

not only for it's lovely ginger hues but also the fact it stars a fabulous little real life fox!

So this gorgeous model with her foxy shade of infused ginger AND her furry little friend are deserving of a place in my weekly Ginger Hall of Fame!

Eye Spy With My Little Eyes.....

To follow on from my recent Mascara Mission plus my obsession with liquid eyeliner, it got me thinking about eye makeup removers.

I want something that is ultra gentle but gets it all off!!
Is that too much to ask? So, I'm on the case....






First up:

Clarins Gentle Eye Makeup Remover

Gentle enough on my eyes, it also seems to get even the strongest of liquid eyeliner off with out too much scrubbing.

Just don't forget to shake the bi-phase formula!

Simple Cream Remover


As a budget option, this seems to do the job and the cream formula feels quite nourishing. However I did wake up with 'panda eyes' as it didn't seem to get all my mascara off!

MAC Gently Off 

Eye & Lip Makeup Remover
It certainly takes off even the most intense MAC red lipstick or darkest of dark smoky eyes, however, I'm not so sure that it is 'gentle' as the name suggests! I found this to be way too harsh on my sensitive eyes.

Rating:
5/10

So, the search continues.......





Remember, the skin around your eye area is VERY thin. So treat it very gently which means NO scrubbing. If you find you are too heavy handed on your eyes, use your ring fingers to apply eye makeup remover and also to apply eye cream. Use gentle patting motion to apply eye cream.

Prada's Little Mermaids AW2012

With fashion week fast approaching, it will be all about SS12 soon enough, so I thought I would give you a little insight to another one of my favourite AW11-12 Collections.

I'm loving the playful little mermaid vibe created with the mettallic fish scale skirts teamed with the glasses and eccentric head wear. As seen on the Gucci and Luis Vuitton catwalks, we're seeing loads more hats and head wear as opposed to hair styling. Although it may be a little while before we see this on the high street, it certainly is a fabulous option if you're having a bad hair day!!

Ginge of the Week: Sonia Rykiel Catwalk Model!

This amazing creation is a bit of a blast from the past- Sonia Rykiel SS09 collection.
The genius creation of a frizzy, crimpy ginger coat complimenting her ginger locks so perfectly means she who shall remain nameless (I don't know this beautiful model's name!) definately deserves a place in my weekly ginger hall of fame.
To elevate this look even higher on the Ginge-Scale, it was created by one of my favourite Ginge's of all time, whose amazing talents were part of the hair team!

With a cheeky ginger attitude- Ginge of the Week!
