Fashion and Beauty Trends Spring 2008

Skinny jeans

They can be very flattering if worn right (they don't have be so tight that you cannot breath or people can see all your bits outside, you known what l mean!!) and they suit most body types. Pair them up with bright flowing tops and remember if you are short (or should l say vertically challenged) wear them with heels and you will look much leaner (and we all like that).

Cotton dresses

A cotton dress in simple shapes and solid colours are the way to go with tights, high boots and a cardigan if the weather is cold. Ballet flats or leather sandals would look great together with a belt and bangles to match once the weather warms. This look you can easily go from day to night with a change in jewellery and some high heels.

Leather sandals

Great leather sandals in a neutral tan, or metallic copper as well as blacks and browns are in this spring, giving us the opportunity to not only be comfortable but look great too!

Handbag now is an oversized clutch

Thank God we now have a nice looking bag, an oversized clutch that is functional as well practical. It lets us not only to look good but also allow us to carry our "essentials". Materials such as raffia and linen are popular using bold colours.

A mix of colours and textures for the face is the trend to follow.

Lips and Lashes

A wet, glossy and high shine lip is the style for spring. But if you don't want to look like a clown remember if you go bright on the lips, then make sure to tone down the eyes.

The lush lash look is what you want through the use of either individual false lashes or by using a full band of lashes. This allows you to add volume and length to your own lashes creating "better looking" eyes. Also keep in mind that a good mascara can also add volume to your own so also invest a few extra dollars in the mascara you buy and it will pay off.

Blushes and Bronzers 

Use bronzers to enunciate the good points on the face and blush to give the appearance of rosy cheeks.

Skin

Keep your face cleaning routine going everyday and night regardless. A tinted moisturiser with SPF of at least 15+ should always be used even if cloudy to save your skin not only from cancer to also stop it from premature aging.
