Spring Jewellery

I've recently remembered how good Rose gold looks and now I'm wanting a rose gold jewellery piece for christmas so I thought I'd go searching....WELL look what I found!

This blog from September 2010 last spring for USA (& australias fashion predictor for our spring 2011) listing Rose gold in a romantic jewellery piece as a full on fashion trend. The ring on the middle finger is the Ariella Collection Open Work Ring, $58 But it is sold out everywhere (BOOHOO)

http://www.scottsdalefashionista.com/modern-romance-the-rose-gold-jewelry-we-lust-after/

A great way to buy inbetween cheap and nasty jewellery chains (I used to be a fan and will still shop their but hate that they are totally destroyed by 1 month of use) and your high end jewellery shop is to look for someone advertising that the gold or rose gold has been ion plated or electroplated (onto silver). That way your buying real and nothing you might have a reaction to but at a price that it can afford to be a fashion piece not an investment.

Rose gold BTW is a alloy of gold and copper. The more copper the more red it becomes.

------------------------------------------------------------

Heres whats out there for under $50 that is so worth the look:

This ebay seller selling a solid rose gold bangle for $22!

Whow! long time no type!

Well I think you can tell that I took along time to blog. But her is what you missed.

-Cut my hair short....Now I want long hair. SO WHAT EVERYONE DOES

-Its Been the longest winter EVER Cause of the floods and then constant rain since then LOL

Which means fashion stores have been totally off! So fashion shopping has been a drag! But today is the first real not cold day! and its acctually flipped right over and its HOT outside!

So fashion will be blooming now

- I surcumed to Jeggings But only cause I found a more Jean than leggings Kind at Supre and cause I'm currently pregnant. I paired it with Khaki overside thin jumper that slouches nicely and I feel really good in it with my Faux Military boots (much more feminie version)

-Hair revolution: I can't use any straightners or blowdryers or I have to cut off 2 inches at the hair dressers. I"M 100% sure now! Thanks to Youtuber tutorial I found! I have taken a vow of no heat. My hair has been styling so far but its hard not to cut my hair but I just spend a 30 deep condition when i feel the urge and it restores it enough to push it back a bit.

- I'm scrapping my memories and having a really amazing time doing that as a totally lame but relaxing past time.

-I'm currently auditing my beauty routine to see how cheap can I go with it? I have the Don't go to the cosmetics counter with out me by Paula Begoun and I'm using it to find the cheapest version that (I can accept) of every item that I consider ESSENTIAL.

I consider these items to be Cleanser, liquid exfoliant, Day Moisturizer with SPF15, Night Moisturizer, MASK, Liquid Foundation, Eyeshadow, Mascara, Blush, Lip Product

-I graduated my Beauty Course and I'm now working part time at a skin care counter.

-I'm astounded at how many people are talking about Revlon ColourBurst Lipstick in Nude and Laurer Mercier Silk Creme Foundation cause it works for slightly oily or slightly dry skin. I'm so wanting to buy them but doing my beauty audit :(

-Loving Dry skin moisturizers cause of the extended cold season: QV Body Cream, The Body Shop Shea Butter shower Gel & Butter, PawPaw Products that my mum is trying are LUCIOUS

we'll see where I'm at when I next blog!

MAKEUP:

Stay away from harsh black eye make-up. Instead, opt for chocolate brown eye liner and mascara.
Keep the lips simple – clear lip gloss or chapstick with a little bit of a shine is all you need.
Use just a little bit of concealer to hide any blemishes or under-eye darkness, but don’t go crazy with foundation. Elena is all about the natural look.
For a more formal occasion, brush a gold or taupe color eye shadow across your eye lids – no crazy colors!

Kate's Clothing Style!!!! (very important) THINK natural beauty & traditional English brunette!! SIMPLE overall look, no fancy accessories, simple makeup and hair.

Beautiful crisp Trench Coats are a must, She likes her Neutral, Black, Royal Blue and Royal Red lately but in past times a short jacket jeans and a pair of brown boots were a common staple. For warmer weather she would opt for flowing feminie knee length and longer dress with sometimes a cardigan & sometimes facinators for more formal events. A key to her style is always keeping strictly to the weather and formality to the occasion.
