How To Bring 70's Inspiration To Your Spring Style

It's no secret that I dig the 70's. Sure, some of the fashion trends are questionable in this day and age but so sue me I love a good floral and a flare here and there... or everywhere. So if you fancy yourself a little 70's boho babe, here's a few outfits to get your creative juices flowing 

1. Florals? For Spring? Ground breaking. BUT LOOK AT MY BOOTS. I think Miranda would forgive me for my predictable Spring print since it's paired with these Gary Glitter boots, so 70's and so wearable. LUSH

2. There's more denim here than Britney and Justin C. early 2000's, but if you're gonna whip out the flares you might as well commit. Pair these with heeled ankle boots and a boho top and you're groovy baby

3. This dress just screams WOODSTOCK, and yes I know that was in 1969, but I mean c'mon, the 70's vibes were still strong. Anything flowy and long is perfect for this trend and it's the sort of thing you could get away with in a city environment too, well I mean you might get a few stares in Sainsbury's picking up your guacamole but SORRY SUSAN IT'S CALLED FASHION, LOOK IT UP!

How To Get Perfectly Plumped Puckers (Without The Needles)

We are currently living in the era of many things, Brexit, Trump and of course, Kylie Jenner. When you think of this Queen of Instagram everyone thinks of those lips. Now I dunno about you but I'd rather spend my money on the Friday night sesh or new shoes than lip injections (plus needles and me are not buddies... I shouted, quite unexpectedly at a Doctor once) So if you still fancy plumping up your pluckers a little without the cost or pain of surgery then here's a little tutorial to get you on your way!

1. Grab yourself a lip mask ( I know, most extra thing in life) Leave on for around 15 minutes depending on the brand, they give you nourishment and often an extra little plump, making them the perfect tool to use before applying a heap of lippy

 2. Lip contouring is something I've seen floating around Instagram, it's supposed to give your lips more volume and a fuller appearance. Use a brownish lip liner and colour in the corners, line the edges and draw a deep line down the middle. You look like the ugly step sister in Shrek to begin with but just trust me here

3. Now pull out your favourite lippy and fill in the rest of your smackers, ensuring it's thick enough to cover the contour but not too heavy that it looks cracked. Then take your liner and blend the two together over the edges

 4. Now glowse those bad bois hunny. Make sure you use a plumping lip gloss coz... I mean duh

SHOP: SOAP AND GLORY LIPGLOSS

 5. Finally highlight your cupids bow to really define it and then shade a tiny amount of bronzer under your bottom lip to give the look of a shadow. There you have it! Plumped and lavely with no blood, sweat and tears and enough money left to get those Topshop jeans you've had your eyes on
