Lola Bensky - Book Review



Lily Brett’s fictitious novel Lola Bensky is one of the most alluring and satisfying books I have read in a long time. From the very first page, where Lola is interviewing Jimi Hendrix, I was sucked into Brett’s 1960s world.
Brett draws on her own experiences working as a rock journalist (in the US and the UK) for the novel. It follows Lola as she finds herself in fantastic situations including interviewing the likes of: Mick Jagger, Janis Joplin, Brian Jones, Jim Morrison, The Mamas and the Papas and Sonny and Cher.

Summer Fashion: Yellow.




With the horrendous heat this week (I most definitely am a Winter person!) I thought it would be nice to have a look back at a Summer 12/13 trend.
Bright colours were all over the catwalks this season, however I did notice that yellows and gold were hugely prominent.
Whether it was Alice and Olivia’s yellow pantsuit, Diane Von Furstenburg’s unmissable gold features or Louis Vuitton’s fun yellow dresses, yellow and gold made its mark.
Vera Wang definitely took the prize for statement gold pieces for me. The colouring and texturing of her outfits are just so alluring.
Yellow and gold are such statement colours that they can be tricky to wear, especially all over.
Working small amounts into an outfit can be fun too though, such as a yellow hat or contrasted with a darker colour.

If you have fair skin like myself here are my two tips for you when wearing yellow:
1.     Be careful not to choose a yellow that will make you look washed out. But…
   Do not over do the fake tan. You don’t want to look yellow and orange all over! (actually don’t over do the fake tan at any time)

Have you been rocking yellow this season?
Are you willing to give it a try?
