Day 13. All tied up! Yay!

Be Flexible.

So it's been sweltering and well as soon as the jacket comes off, we unbutton the shirt and then we are left with the age old conundrum of what to do with the tie. Hmmm doesn't take a brain surgeon does it.

Before we get to the latter stage of the day - when choosing which one to wear to work remember that bold, bright and patterns are back. Return to years of old with rich paisleys and embellishments. Be forewarned 'Cartoon' ties shall not be tolerated so don't even go there. Save theses 'gifts' for staking up the green beans in your allotment, cos no man should ever admit to - even if he has - purchasing one of those.

Now at the end of the day - remember how to untie the knots as you wouldn't want to be left attached to the radiator/bedpost/rugby poles for too long.

peace.

Day 12. Spot the difference

Cindy Crawford syndrome.

Look closely. What's going on here?
Sometimes using what you have naturally is the best accessory.
And remember to smile with your eyes.

Day 11. Tantastic

Golden Cinnamon Glaze

This is what summer is about. Getting out in the sun and being active and getting that Bronzy Glow.
You will be envied by all if you can pull this one off properly.

Rule one: Exfoliate - get rid of all the dead winter skin that will prevent the UV rays from illuminating you.
Rule two: Protection - no matter how long or short you plan to tan - use protection - the higher the better - it leads to a much more even and lasting tan. Quick fixes = burns and peeling. Be safe rather than sorry.
Rule three: Moisturise - inside and out. When out in hot weather drink loads of water/ liquids to keep hydrated and always apply a moisturising cream to help lock in you newly acquired sun-kissed skin!

Now - go out and get tanning. Don't forget your towel, ipod and Frisbee either.

Day 10. Hands up!

Money or your life.

We all have those days when well we have nothing to wear besides Black. There is nothing wrong with it, but in the midst of summer some colour wouldn't hurt right. That's where the signature neck-scarf comes in.
Get one in a really bright audacious colour that well you wouldn't dare wear any other colour but black with.

Your wardrobe is instantly revived and if you get a few such accents you have just updated for a Recessionista price!!

Day 9.Straight up with a Twist

The higher the better.

The simple twist will this year reign supreme as the summer quick fix hair-do.
It's easy enough to do for yourself and try and go as high as possible if you can.

Peace.
