As we bid farewell to March and welcome April with open arms (crikey 2010 is going fast) we are finally turning our minds into spring mode. We’re busy planning our spring wardrobes (and actually wearing some of it), thinking about Easter breaks away and considering after work drinks instead of heading straight home in the dark. The latter is probably the thing we’re most excited about, having a social life after work and leaving the office before it gets dark! So even though we’re not too happy about having lost an hour of our weekend we are very grateful for the lighter evenings. The weather however is sure to fluctuate, in typical April shower style, as it has begun to already. Bright sunshine in the morning fools us into thinking it might actually be a nice day. But then the rain comes in the afternoon, leaving us stranded (wherever we may have decided to venture, in what was previously such a lovely day) wondering how the heck are we going to get home without ruining our new pumps/handbag/hair do?!

But after spring comes summer. We’re also getting increasingly excited at the prospect of summer and have started planning what we want to do with our summers, namely; BBQs despite the British weather, picnics, trips to the beach etc. As well as becoming excited for what we want to do over summer, we’re also getting impatient for our summer wardrobes and are desperate to be wearing linen trousers, cotton dresses (without thick tights and boots) and sandals sometime soon!

So make this April fool proof. Get the brolly out, wrap up in plenty of layers and prepare for the inevitable showers and pranks!

Pink is back but this time it’s all about having pink shades for your make-up rather than for your wardrobe. Although spring is just around the corner, we’re not quite ready for spring clothing yet, even if it is starting to appear in the shops, the amount of snow we’ve had has resulted in people piling on as many layers as possible. We may be reluctant to make our wardrobes more spring like, but we can brighten up our make-up with some fresh colours to lighten up our mood instead!

Pink shades in nail polish, lipsticks, blushers and eye shadows allow you to brighten up your look and feel fresh as a spring daisy whilst still wearing your winter layers! Wearing a matt bubble gum pink nail polish just makes us feel happy that the weather will soon be warming up and makes us look forward to summer, sandals and BBQs again! Matt or shimmery pink lips are a fresh change from the deep red lips we’ve worn over winter. A good blusher with pink over tones and a hint of shimmer will help to add some colour to our rather pasty white faces and a stroke of pink eye shadow will help us to see la vie en rose!
