Four ways to look smart now
Tie one on
Go boho with a hip head scarf, or play up your French side and knot a scarf around your neck to add some je ne sais quoi to your outfit.
From top: $420, Hermès. $105, Echo Design. $62, Banana Republic.
Try on some tropical tones
Thanks to the pretty and playful spring beauty looks we saw on the runways from designers like Stella McCartney and Giorgio Armani, blues and greens are making a splash in the makeup world — and we're riding the wave too!
Clockwise from top: Stila All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Periwinkle, $26. Essence Sun Kissed Soft Touch Eyeshadow in Sunset Paradise, $3. Nars Duo Eyeshadow in Mad Mad World, $39. Rimmel London Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner in Turquoise, $7. M.A.C Extra Dimension Eyeshadow in Zestful, $25.
Try on some shirt tails
Some things never go out of style, like a crisp cotton shirt. We love a menswear-inspired pinstripe paired with boyfriend jeans or a feminine pencil skirt.
Pink Tartan shirt, $275, Holt Renfrew.
Age beautifully
Hey, you thirtysomethings! It's never too early to start looking after your skin. And now's the perfect time to introduce a serum into your daily routine. These concentrated formulas work in the deeper levels of the skin to keep you looking forever young.
Thirst quencher: If your skin is feeling dull and dry, this lovely, refreshing gel delivers on hydration. Rich in minerals, it helps restore a radiant complexion. Apply it on clean skin in the morning, before your moisturizer.
Biotherm Aquasource Deep Serum, $60.
Youth juice: Lightly tap this serum on your face and neck to plump the skin and improve its texture. Active ingredients work to stimulate the natural production of collagen fibres and to improve cellular renewal.
Darphin Ideal Resource Wrinkle Minimizer Perfecting Serum, $147.
