Spring Capsule Wardrobe Additions
Spring in the UK can be a difficult time to dress for. It might look like it's as warm as the tropics outside but once you're out there it's ice cold.

The Barely There Beauty Brief
Although I love nothing more than experimenting with makeup and applying my most loved products. Sometimes I just can't be bothered with the upkeep. The obvious answer to this would be to not wear makeup at all. But the process of applying it is something I savour in my routine. So I work to a minimal beauty brief instead and here is my latest barely there makeup menu.
An Easy Guide To Photographing Beauty Products
Photographing beauty products in a way that enhances them and makes them look as beautiful as they are is a fine art. Especially when you've been using the products for a while.
