Tribal Trend: BeyouT


From Missoni to Burberry, the tribal trend has dominated the catwalk this season.   Although tribal prints are probably one of the worlds oldest fashion looks and have reappeared countless times since, this year the trend has been taken to new heights.  Consisting of animal and ethnic prints, wooden beads, bright colours and shells, what’s not to love?  

BeyouT, is a brand that specializes in African-inspired print clothing, but with urban twists.  I spoke to the designer Marcia Green about her collection, which provides bold colour and timeless prints that are sure to be key pieces to your S/S 12 wardrobe and for a much more reasonable price than any high end designer equivalent.   Marcia says the highlight of designing for BeyouT is when a “transformation occurs when a customer wears my  designs and immediately oozes self-confidence“.  
I have had the pleasure of modelling for BeyouT and now can honestly say the tribal trend is not one to miss this season!

Nail It!

Facets of Fuchsia nail vanish is part of Revlon's A/W 2011 collection. Although I bought it before 2012 only recently have I applied it, and I love it!  It is made up of tiny and large metallic, hexagon fuchsia glitter, scattered in a black polish base.  As soon as it was on my nails my hands suddenly felt glamorous. I usually stay clear of glitter nail vanish (for fear of looking like a 6 year old with MASSIVE hands!) but this had a real sense of vampy sophistication and rock chic rebellion.  I paint my nails to match my clothes , but over the weekend I let my now glamorous hands lead the way, here are the outfits ...
