A WISHFUL BLUE BEAUTY >

B L U E B I R D  B E A U T Y
 
  For SS13 styling cobalt blue is the colour to wear this season. A colour that radiates confidence, sincerity and loyalty, it's hard to put a foot wrong when styling with this colour. Here are my fashion/hair/beauty styling tips for a chic CB look >
 

 
SISJ'S FAVE CB DRESS: I am absolutely loving Wish's SS13 Castaway collection! My favourite story and print by far is this feminine and exclusive 100% CDC silk bluebird print. The featured dress is called the Bluebird Shift Dress, which is also available in a maxi, cami, V-neck dress and a one shoulder top (Bluebird story).
 
SHIFT DRESS STYLING TIP: I am a huge fan of the shift dress this season. It's an effortless piece and can be extremely flattering if styled correctly. Make sure you know your measurements if you are purchasing this style online. I suggest opting for your typical top size as the bottom half is normally quite a loose fit. If it's semi-fitted across your chest/shoulders you will achieve a flattering shape over your arms, chest, hips and legs. This style looks super cute with flats and a thin belt for a casual day look. For night wear I would style with some wedges and a cropped blazer if the temp is cool.
 
BEAUTY STYLING TIP: The great thing about this tran-seasonal colour is that it suits blondes, brunettes and red heads equally. As versatile as cobalt blue is, I am also a big believer in only styling this with either a bold red lip or a soft pink lip. As you all know I am a BIG fan of oranges and corals, however, I don't believe they are a harmonious combination. If you decide on a bold red lip remember to keep your eye make-up quite natural, focussing more so on big lashes (not heavy eye liner/shadow). When colour-matching the soft pink tones for the lips, I would suggest a warm (peachy, brown, bronze) palette for the eyes. Again, still keep this reasonably natural with a soft pink cheek and some light bonzer or illuminating powder for a summer glow.
 
HAIR STYLING TIP: If you are wearing cobalt blue as an 'accent' colour/pattern, I would definitely suggest an unstructured style - eg. soft waves, beach spray, messy top-knot bun. However, if you are colour blocking I would suggest a more sleek and structured style - eg. low straight pony tail, sleek donut bun or classic Hollywood waves to one side.
