Fecklessly Freckled

I love a freckled face.
I wish the freckles sprinkled across my own nose and cheeks were more prominent, alas they fade as I get older...

Last year, Rachel Comey insisted her runway models sported a dewy, youthful face with fake freckles added on.

This year, M.A.C at NYFW have created this look;

Plus, anyone notice a certain sixties makeup trend I may have posted about previously?

Also, the beaut cannot go unmentioned, and is the favourite to win this season's Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model (Ok, she may not be the favourite, but she certainly is mine and my boyfriends- avid viewers!)

Fell in Love with A Girl

I think I'm in love with Lana Del Rey



 Embracing the sixties makeup, flower power, hippy look which is a nice refreshing change to the 50's pin up/ kitsch look rolling around (bored) and the 70's festival chic that has flooded the high street last spring/summer (though I did enjoy the crochet, tan leather and tassles!)

As Vogue online and this months Company magazine have both cited, sixties is a strong makeup trend this autumn and has already been spotted on the catwalks at NYFW with DKNY and is expected to be seen in the Burberry shows at London FW. However the catwalk interpretation is a lot more subtle than the trends shown in Company who insist full on Twiggy eyeliner and pencilled in lashes is the way to go....

 Back to beautiful Lana...

Reminiscent of Andy Warhol's style of pop colours and repitition of images (think Marilyn Monroe..)
She is the 2011 answer to Brigitte Bardot;

 Check out Lana's new single Video Games due for release in October.

What way are you going to interpret the sixties look this autumn/winter?
