Fade dark spots
Thu, May 09, 2013
A dark spot corrector from No 7 cosmetics claims to fade age spots in just four weeks. Age spots are a form of hyper-pigmentation or brown discolouration of the skin caused by the increased production of continued presence of melanin. Many factors contribute to hyper-pigmentation including hormonal changes or the most common, long term sun exposure.

When I was a child, I wore a pinafore to school. I never thought almost 25 years later, I would be back wearing a pinafore, and versions of it, as a fashion trend. I have no idea who is to blame for the return of the “all-in-one” look, but whoever did, must have known it was going to be the must have item for our summer wardrobes. Comfort and style all in one, plus a huge saving on your suitcase space, the jumpsuit, playsuit, pinafore, and dungaree trend have been reinvented for the current season. The jumpsuit has been here for a couple of seasons now, but this year we see shapes and styles change, to make this look more wearable.

Summer is a great time to accessorise, I think. You can have so much fun with colour, especially with the very trendy neon this season, and adding a little bling is never a bad thing. And you have to remember that whether you like to wear scarves, bangles, or bags, they never really go out of fashion, so think of them as a very good investment. My current favourites include gold bangles (lots of them), big, chunky, necklaces, and gold earrings, worn with my go-to look of a T-shirt and black blazer. With plenty of collections and designers to choose from, here are just a few of my summer picks.

Spring is finally here, which means two things — sun and special occasions. Femininity is clearly being celebrated in spring collections, with sweet shades and demure silhouettes with a touch of sensuality and strength. The feminine look is being worn for all those upcoming special occasions — from weddings to confirmations, or anniversaries and days at the races. A modern feminine look with a charming twist is your winning ticket to spring style.
