Let’s get Naked!

Monday, May 11th, 2009

If you’re very into Vogue and hot for Harpers, you’ll have seen that a big fashion story this season is nude – the colour that is, not yourself! Nude coloured fabrics are everywhere this Summer, a soft and very feminine look that’s classic and cool. So where do you take your eyewear?

The nude look is obviously very neutral and light, so think about how you want to accessorise. A colour pop of neon for bags or shoes is one way to go, so you could try this with your glasses, bringing your accent colour to your face is also a great way to add interest to the nude scheme.

Or go glittering with gold, bronze, or tortoiseshell frames in a translucent finish. Don’t go too heavy, and keep the shades close to your favourite tone – you may suit warm pink or cool beige shades of nude. Laminated, layered plastic frames are a great way to add interest but not too much weight.

You don’t want to drain your skin, so try out one of this season’s moisture drenched light foundations, for a flawless and dewy complexion. Clarins and Chanel have some beautiful new formulas this Spring. Keep the rest of your make-up strong, to add definition and balance. Smoky eyes behind some fabulous specs will make sure that you may be pale, but you’ll always be interesting!

Want a bit of their style? Then let’s check out what they’re up to in May. Accessorise those fetching little swine flu masks with the perfect sunnies and let the sun shine on……reach for the Stars Fashionistas………

Sarah Jessica Parker – Out shopping for those divine twins she’s got on the way. Cool in HUGE Aviators with a funky mirrored lens.

Madonna – The press are showing no mercy but she was showing off a v cool Chanel with the trendy rose logo – a big story for their jewellery.

Jennifer Anniston – her love life may be in tatters but her shades are very classy – huge, square, a perfect fit on that neat little nose.

Nicole Ritchie – White oversized shades no less! Why not buck the trend for black! Massive on her petite face, very eighties revival.
