THE PORTFOLIO - THE BOHEMIAN SUMMER EDITION

Hey Guys! Today I am back with the Bohemian Edition of my Portfolio! So this is one of my first shoots which wasn't for a project and was literally just me and my friend having an amazing fashion filled day! I had done quite a few shoots by this point and I wanted to start doing them just a bit more randomly so I got together with one of my friends Emma and we did a shoot! Now Emma has a really good eye for fashion and she helped with a lot of the styling for this shoot. She picked out this amazing Grecian dress from Topshop and that helped us plan the theme of the shoot, we knew we wanted to do something very ethereal and boho-like! So when planning the Make-Up I looked at very warm browns and neutral eyeshadows, I knew I wanted a smoky-eye and I think I ended up using an eye-shadow quad from Avon. When we were planning this shoot GHD had just released the shoot they had done with Katy Perry and they had a boho look they did and that was what mainly inspired the hair on the shoot. We added some loose curls to the hair and had two plaits that went across Emmas' forehead, to add more texture we also added an extra plait amongst the curls and to keep it boho we used some cotton to finish off the plait! The location for our shoot was Knighton Park in Leicester it was an amazing day and the sun was out so we had amazing lighting! Let me know what you guys think of how they turned out!

THE PASTEL TREND - WOMENSWEAR

Like clockwork pastels have hit the high street for spring, each year retailers release pastels and neons to bring some colour back into our lives after a cold winter. Pastels are a great way to add a spring back into your step and this year I am spotting a lot of ice-cream pastels! Below I have presented a look that I have put together to represent this trend.

THE PASTEL TREND - WOMENSWEAR by primal-m 

Whenever styling an outfit I always use a particular item to use as the foundation and in this case I used the statement necklace that I spotted in River Island. This was the perfect base as it had the right ice-cream tones that I was looking for, using the necklace as a guide I began searching for some jeans and a top. I found some jeans from Topshop that were an amazing pastel bubblegum pink, it is a very similar hue to the rope used on the necklace! Because the bottoms are a pink tone I knew I wanted to the top to be a blue and I ended up seeing this beautiful chiffon top in Topshop, now the top was in mint but I actually preferred this colour because it made the blue in the necklace pop! To finish the outfit off I thought I would incorporate another popular spring trend, neons. I love using neons to add some depth to an outfit but I think it has to be done in a simple yet effective way and so I thought to use an acid yellow pointed court shoe from Aldo and a lime shopper bag from Miss Selfridge! Now I know sometimes this amount of colour can seem a little frightening and so I made sure that each piece featured can be used individually to add a small touch of the trend!
