The 90's Comeback


So…remember the 90’s? I certainly do…butterfly clips, tiny back packs, crop tops, and who could forget platform shoes popularized by The Spice Girls.  Well I am here to report that it’s all coming back!  Well maybe not all…so then, I’m sure you’re wondering, what trends from the 90’s are making a return to the fashion scene? Here are 4 of those hot retro looks that will be surfacing!
 
1. Mulberry lips
Dark lipstick was a huge hit on the spring 2013 runway this fall.  Instead of pairing this gorgeous colour with sparkly blue eye shadow, a trend that will hopefully NEVER be returning, match this bold lip with a natural clean eye.
2. Crop Top
 
We’ve seen it a bit this summer…and yes this trend is continuing! Ladies keep your stomachs in shape because the crop top is here to stay…at least for a little while longer.
3. The Platform Shoe
 
It’s no ordinary Ginger Spice style platform, but none the less, it’s still a platform!  Consider it a modern twist on 90’s style footwear.
4. Tight printed pants
 
Last season was proof that mixing patterns is a hot style.  And we’re seeing this trend carry over into this season!  My favourite look, pattern pants.  It’s an excellent way to add a little flare to your wardrobe instead of having a solid colour or jean.

DIY Makeup Palette

 

So the other day I found myself shopping online for makeup and I ended up buying several eye shadow colours.  When the package arrived, much to my surprise, the eye shadows had been sent individually…without a palette.  So I had a few options:

1.      I could go out and buy/order a palette online OR

2.      Use this as an opportunity to be creative

I guess my choice is pretty obvious. So, without further ado: DIY makeup palette
