The Colour Purple

Operation Dissertation Stress has been occurring for the past three months and I've managed to neglect my blog so this is a belated post on Pantone's very delightful colour of the year. There isn't a shade of purple I don't like so I'm rather pleased to say the least. I think Radiant Orchid is fun but sophisticated and mysterious but very honest. I'm looking forward to seeing what comes of the colour purple.

I have a bit of a thing about typography; if it's in Comic Sans, throw it in the bin. Fonts and layouts, those are what lure me in, if it looks good then it probably is good, that's why I pick up a magazine or a lookbook or even a flyer. My pet hate is a bad website or business card, the biggest turn-off when I'm looking at buying or booking something. A little bit of typography love goes a long way. I spend most days at my internship telling my boss how awful this website or that website is, it really sells a business short. Writing this has given me the realisation that I should probably get a life but someone needs to care about these things, yes? Oh, I do love a good font.

Eye-Con

I cannot live without liquid eyeliner, my face needs it to venture into the public without looking half dead, but as much as I love you Illamasqua Precision Ink, I've been getting a bit bored as of late, so on Friday I sucked it up dared to buy something a little different, gold liquid eyeliner, outrageous, I know. I wore it to work yesterday and absolutely love it, it gives your eyes that bit of extra sparkle - although I still put some precision ink in the mix, just you know, to put my mind at ease... 

So in light of my brave buy, I've conjured some images from my Pinterest 'Eyes' board to share with you. I adore the make up in these photographs, they're beautiful and unique, two words I should probably put more effort into trying to look.
