Mind change: OLIVIA PALERMO IN TOPSHOP

When I first saw the photos of these Topshop trousers go up I must admit I wasn't sold (see previous post about trousers and pink) but Once again Olivia Palermo has managed to change my mind about a piece of clothing....

Much prefer the bottom half of this outfit to the top half though. Although admitidly I've had my eye on that sheer cream beaded peplum Topshop top for quite some time. I think I'd pair the trousers with similar shoes, but with a slightly oversized white jumper and a thin black patent belt to bring the waist back in. Hey presto a simple spring outfit!!

Without a Pair of

I don't own  pair of trousers! Not a joke and no, I dont walk around in just tops and no bottoms. But I am trouserless. Have been for quite few years. Last pair of trousers I owned were black high waisted and tapered. But I always felt that they didn't flatter me, however much I loved them. Since then I have lost all interest in buying trousers because I felt they just didn't suit me. But I lost weight, and think I'd feel more confident in them again now.  In the last few weeks my eyes have been widely open to the large range of really nice trousers in the shops recently and I am ready to go and try on many pairs. My Secont point is I dont have much print in my life and I thought now would be an excellent time to change that.

So to mark this (fairly large, for me at least) occassion I decided to create an "edit" of sorts (well Zara and Topshop) of the pairs of trousers that in the next week I shall be hunting down and sliding my legs into.


First up: TOPSHOP (obviously)

 

Zara

I shall be wearing these with clashing prints or simple neutral tones. This Spring/ Summer is a perfect time to try something new, and prints and trousers/ printed trousers are the way I am choosing to go.

So go on try something completely un-you this spring. The sun is out. Enjoy.

Pink pop

I have come to the conclusion that I am in desperate need of a new shade of lipstick for Spring/Summer. For a while at least, the red seems a little too harsh. So you can imagine my delight when I arrive on the MAC website to see this:

Yes, thats Nicki Minaj. And YES, that is Ricky Martin. Why on earth he was chosen to have a lip balm made for MAC I'll never know. But I thought it was only a matter of time before Miss Minaj got a chance to have a lippie made after her.

Whatever the reason, the shade of pink is perfect. Bright, fresh, summery and with highlight a tan in the best possible way. However, once on the MAC website, I am never one to escape so easily. It pulls me in like a black hole. I created a wish list and it has been discovered that I would happily spend over £200 on my perfect wish list to fill up my make up bag (need a bigger one, theres no room!!) to satisfy my needs.

Enjoy the sunshine!!
