I am loving stripes at the moment – whether they are classic blue and white nautical stripes or big, bold and colourful, they are bang on trend. Stripes can really bring an otherwise plain outfit to life, worn under a jacket or as a statement piece, as a skirt or dress, stripes can be fun and sassy.
The key to wearing stripes is to be sure they flatter your body shape and do not dominate or over power your outfit completely. In my opinion it is better to team a striped garment with other plain items, like denim jeans or a another solid colour like black or white. Stripes are rather versatile and can even be worn with other patterns such as pretty florals.

This week I am very excited about reviewing products from the Beautiful Earth range. Beautiful Earth is a specialist manufacturing company, distributing 100% natural products for personal care, to individual consumers and the hospitality industry. As a eco-concious consumer I am always looking for ways to support local industry by finding local products, as an alternative to the international pharmaceutical brands and more importantly products that are not harmful and/or do not contain undesired ingredients, that may threaten our environment.
We see a world in which the entire family benefits from natural products through everyday use. In this world Beautiful Earth is recognised as the exemplar and the market leader in its countries of operation.
Our mission is to provide 100% natural, personal care products in an economically, environmentally and socially sustainable manner, while generating attractive returns to all stakeholders. ~ Beautiful Earth
With winter on our doorstep it even more important to exfoliate your skin and keep it silky and smooth! The be Body Scrub is perfect for this job. Exfoliation is key to younger looking skin by promoting new cell growth. Old dead cells are gently removed assisting new healthy cells to surface. The salt scrub contains Shea butter, Sweet almond oil, Grapeseed oil, natural vitamin E and is enriched with Geranium, Lime and Lemongrass essential oils, that will leave your skin naturally soft and smooth. A natural and healthy way to exfoliate.
The Body Scrub has a wonderful texture and I love the zesty fragrance of lime and lemongrass, it leaves your skin feeling wonderfully invigorated and soft after use.
After exfoliation it is vital to replace the moisture in your skin and this is where the be Body Butter is the product to use. Made with shea butter it gently nourishes your skin with its luscious and creamy texture. The Body Butter contains rich emollients including the essential oils of Ylang-ylang, Sweet orange, Sandalwood and Rosewood which will help with severely dry or cracked skin. Use it all over to seal in moisture and soften your skin.
I love the soft subtle fragrance of Ylang-ylang and the rich creamy texture of the Body Butter, it leaves your skin wonderfully smooth without making it sticky or greasy to the touch.

I will also be announcing an exciting giveaway sponsored by be in the very near future so keep a look out for that! I will also report back on my thoughts on the be products I am reviewing.

My beauty pick of the week this week is the Maybelline Silk Glam by Eyestudio, this particular palette is called Blue Drama. There are other colour combinations to choose from but I love this for a dramatic eye. It is gorgeous if you are heading out for a night on the town, just add a bit of black eyeliner, lashings of mascara, some bright lipstick and you are good to go!
My look of the week this week features the gorgeous Millie Mackintosh. I love the simplicity of her outfit, trendy black skinny jeans with a sexy lacy top, killer black boots and a stunning denim and leather jacket. The look is simple yet stylish and chic and she is wearing to of my favourite things denim and black!
