Every woman knows that a purse is a must have accessory when you go out.

The only way to achieve this is to be conscious of your body shape and dress accordingly. So here are a few guidelines on how to wear some of this season’s trends.

COLOUR – Wearing the right colour can takes years off. So what do you do when this season’s colours aren’t right for you? You have a few options:

1.mix them with shades that do suit you

2. only wear the colour in small doses

3. keep the colour away from your face

The main colours this  Spring/Summer are:

All White- I hear you all gasp I can’t wear white! It makes me look fat/pale etc. Well wearing all white can be as slimming wearing as all black and such a good alternative.  We all know white looks good on tanned and dark skin, but all you pale ethereal complexions never fear – just wear softer whites.

A multi-purpose facial cleanser that may be used as a scrub or a mask, designed to gently exfoliate, smooth and condition the complexion. Prepared with skin balancing orange flower oil, moisturising wheat proteins and gentle oat-derived cleansers, this facial polish will hydrate and condition. A combination of gently exfoliating jojoba wax beads and white China clay will polish the surface of the skin, removing any residual oils and dead skin cells leaving the skin feeling refreshingly soft and smooth.

Health spa treatments can be costly. Have you ever considered creating your own home spa by using lavender and other herbs from your own herb garden? After all of the hours you spent planting and tending to your herb plants, reap another benefit by using your herbs to make herbal cosmetics, herbal teas or herbal medicines.

Exfoliation eliminates dead skin cells, stimulates circulation, and evens skin tone and texture. Invigorate your

I love cosmetics and skin care products- but I really prefer to use vegan or all natural skin care products instead of the cosmetics being tested on animals. Every year, companies(including cosmetic companies that produce beauty skin care products) injure and kill animals by making them ingest harmful chemicals, inhale harmful aerosol sprays, among other ways. Also, cosmetics being tested on animals are not necessarily good for people as animals have different body chemistry than humans; what could harm an animal might not hurt us and vice versa. Either way, animal testing is wrong, and I won’t partake in it. Now here is how to make sure that you buy natural or vegan products and cosmetics.

1- Does it mention no animal testing? If so, it is probably a safe bet. If not, put it back on the shelf. However it would still be wise to do a little research on the company that makes the product in question. Visit Leaping Bunny.org for more information.

Estethica is the eco-friendly fashion showcase of London Fashion Week and SS10 was sponsored By Monsoon for the fifth season running.  Eco designers not only have to create beautiful pieces that will set our hearts racing; they have to ensure the environment is not damaged, the rights of workers are fair and resources are not wasted.  Tough call but as you can see below, they have pulled it off:

Not dragging their feet are two eco-friendly shoes designers: Beyond Skin and Nina Dolcetti.

Beyond Skin are vegan shoes designers using PU plastic rather than leather. Their SS10 collection introduces a capsule evening wear range. They are excited about the US store Anthropologie arriving soon in to the UK (Regents St.) because they will be stocking their new pumps  ”Beyond Skin Sole”.

Nina Dolcetti designs leather footwear but only uses left overs, off-cuts, old colour swatches and any other unwanted pre-consumer waste to create her shoes. Left
