It's
at this time of year
when
I always pause for thought and reflect on how much
I love Great Britain! Early summer seems to serve
a reminder to me of all the traditionally British
things we in this country have to enjoy - we've had
the Chelsea, the jobs of Wimbledon, cricket on the
lawn, and all the little seaside shops are dusting
off their winter coats and springing into life. Strawberries
and cream, buckets and spades, canal boat trips and
English country gardens - I love them all!
Of course we have the Great British weather to contend
with - we all know that every planned occasion is
going to be threatened with high winds and downpour
but what else would we find to talk about? It unites
us and shows us how resourceful we can be - the weather
is there for us to master, to triumph over, and how
grateful we are when the sun actually shines.
I know we all love our annual trips abroad - it's
great to recharge the batteries now and again, but
this summer, take some time to notice the things around
us. How long has it been since you walked along a
stretch of our fantastic coastline or visited one
of our wonderful historic buildings, strolled around
a stately home and enjoyed the peace of the exquisite
gardens.
If you get the chance, go along to the village or
hold your own little strawberry cream tea party in
the garden, and support the Breast Cancer Strawberry
team fortnight 26 June - 9 July 2006.

Take
out a rowing boat or walk along the sand eating fish
and chips. I'm sure most people feel the same way
about their own country and why not? The sense of
belong is important to us all, our roots are who we
are, so celebrate your heritage this year wherever
you happen to live - for me, I've invited a dozen
ladies to a garden party next week, we're dressing
'Ascot' style, hats and all,
I'm bringing out my best, lace tablecloths and china
and serving cucumber sandwiches and summer pudding.
I've even borrowed some old 1930's records to add
to the atmosphere and I for one am looking forward
to it enormously. Now all we need is the great British
sunshine and everything will be rosy!

With
all the beautiful florals
at the moment it's an ideal opportunity to wear really 'girly'
make-up. Most of us have been wearing neutrals for quite
a while, with all the brown, beiges and coffee's that have
been around, but these are not really suitable with the
pink and red prints that are around.
So put the neutrals away and plump for warmer pinks and
subtle reds, damsons, mauves and rose shades for lips and
nails. Christian Dior and Bourjois both have some beautiful
rose coloured shades at the moment, go for sheers rather
than shimmers.

Avoid anything with too much of a 'glittery' feel that won't
be appropriate with floral prints. And try the subtle green
shades for the eyes - yes, really!
Green as an eye shadow is undervalued, but be careful, you're
aiming for subtle, sludgy green-olive is wonderful for most
eye colours, creating a really sexy, sultry look and deepening
the eye colour and will look fabulous with the damson lipsticks
that are popular right now.
Keep blushers on the same palette, using pink rather tan bronze
tones - save the bronzers till August when they will look
more natural.. |
