THE FTLLP EDIT | #2 HIGH END

Happy Monday all! This post was supposed to go out to you yesterday, but after a fulfilling, but exhausting weekend I just flopped on my bed when I got home. So here it is, ever so fashionably late, the FTLLP Edit #2. This week's Edit is completely high-end and features no high street, because a girl can dream, right?

So without further ado.....

THE FTLLP EDIT | #1 SPRING FLING

Hi lovelies, hope you're having a lovely Sunday. I'm certainly not enjoying this undecided weather in Nairobi at the minute, makes it so hard to decide what to wear! I'll be spending my day indoors, catching up on my favourite blogs and some work later in the afternoon.

While I'm at it, I thought I'd introduce a new series onto the blog, called The FTLLP Edit. It will be a weekly roundup of my favourite picks from sites around on the web, so keep a look out to see what's out there. This week's Edit is packed full of clean, fresh spring shades.

TRENDS | STRAIGHT TO THE POINT

Oscar de la Renta, Honor, Tanya Taylor

Honor, Dolce & Gabanna, Narcisco Rodrigues

One trend that I will totally, yet surprisingly, buy into this season is the pointy flat. Approximately 90% of my shoe-drobe is exclusively heel, about 8% sandal and 2% flat. I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with flats, as I can almost never get them to fit right on my feet. A quick peek at the catwalks and you'll see that the pointy flat is back with a remix!

LIPS | NOUBA MILLEBACI #46

I am in LOVE. There's no other way to say it. You know when you bag a new beauty buy that just makes you wanna scream? That's me right now. I spotted this bad boy over on fellow blogger Sharon's instagram (@this_is_ess) the day before yesterday and set out determined to get myself a tube before they all ran out. 

NAILS | Like A Virgin: 2014 Spring Summer Nail Trends

Spring is fast approaching in the Northern hemisphere and with it an inevitable change in colour palettes that will be dictating the season's trends. (On a side note, I always feel a little strange being in the tropics and following seasonal global trends, when generally, it's summer here all year round!) The Spring/Summer 2014 catwalks were predictably awash with soft, subtle hues. And the colours on the fingertips were no exception: fresh whites, pale pinks, soft browns.

Fellow nail art lovers, don't despair. You can still get away with some pizazz, but keep it grown up and demure. A thin stripe here, a half moon mani there. I'll definitely be working in a nude/glitter combo onto my tips in the next couple of weeks.
