Look smart this spring
1. Think pink
Rosy makeup palettes are popping up everywhere right now. From powdery pastels to bright fuchsias, the colour of the moment works beautifully on eyes, lips and cheeks.
2. Try a printed button-up
These collared shirts are classic with a twist. Update this wardrobe staple with playful patterns and cheerful shades.
Shirts, from $85, Talbots.
3. Find a luxe lotion
Don’t be fooled by its soft exterior. This pretty tin packs a powerful moisturizing punch! We love the velvety texture, the soothing power of the star ingredient, shea butter, and the irresistible rose scent. Honestly, if we could bathe in this stuff, we would.
L’Occitane Ultra Soft Cream in Rose Heart, $28.
4. Rock the It colour
The trend watchers at Pantone have announced their winner: Radiant Orchid is the colour of the year. Don’t be surprised when you see this bright tone showing up in fashion design, statement accessories and the latest home decor items.
Purse, $215, Palethorp. Marc by Marc Jacobs sunglasses, $135, Holt Renfrew. Necklace, $270, Rebekah Price.
5. Tame your tresses
Here’s the perfect fix for dry, brittle and static-ridden hair. This dry oil (that means yay to shine, nay to grease) is enriched with nourishing botanical extracts that moisturize and strengthen locks from the inside out. Best of all, it’s light enough to use on dry hair when it needs some extra TLC.
Aveda Dry Remedy Daily Moisturizing Oil, $32.
