For the perfect pink-tan: Love her or hate her, Kylie Jenner has been slayin’ the pink-tan pout for a while now, and moving into the AW season you’ll never find a better everyday neutral. I adore the lush matte finish and long lasting wear of Napoleon Perdis Mattetastic Lipstick in Lauren.

For the perfect beige-cream: Proving that bare doesn’t have to be boring, a creamsical lip creates a fresh, natural statement, teamed beautifully with a bronzed glow or a dramatic smokey eye. The Napoleon Perdis Divine Goddess Lipstick in Gamelia has a beautiful satin finish and hydrating formula that will keep your lips supple, plump and oh so kissable.

For the perfect rose-pink: A dusty rose is a darling choice for those that love a glam, girly pout. Best teamed with a flushed cheek and wispy lashes, a rose-pink lip creates a youthful and feminine statement. If you haven’t already added the Napoleon Perdis Goddess Lipstick in Nymphe to your shopping cart, then you best do so now so that it arrives in time for Saturday brunch with the girls.

For the perfect blush-nude: Soft, subtle and sophisticated, a blush nude lipstick features a balanced combination of rose, nude and creamy tones. This hue is particularly flattering on fairer complexions, and is best teamed with a dynamic rose gold shimmer on the eyes. I love Napoleon Perdis Goddess Lipstick in Athena.

For the perfect pink lacquer: If you love delicious summery colours, and emphasising your natural beauty, then a pink lip lacquer is the perfect addition to your makeup stash. The Napoleon Perdis Silk Road Lip Rogue in Pink Empress features a highly pigmented hue and a luxe, shiny finish, perfect for a night out with the gals!

What’s your favourite out of these five? Are you more of a classic neutral, or a pop of pink lip kind of gal? I’de love to hear your signature pout in the comments below!

Shop Rosie Huntington Whiteley’s Wardrobe

Known for her fem and fierce, model off duty style and that fabulous quaff of blonde hair, Rosie Huntington Whiteley nails cool girl casual like nobodies business.

Creating the perfect balance of undone and done, Rosie proves that the perfect Autumn outfit starts with a classic pair of blue jeans. Needing to invest in a pair for myself, I’m looking to French Connection for my denim needs, with their selection of different fits, cuts and colours. Shop the French Connection denim range here.

A caramel coat or vest seems to be a must-have item this AW, adding a warm, earthy element to a casual getup. After shopping around I’ve found a few options that don’t break the bank, including these styles from Seed, Wish and Asos.

Of course, a busy gal needs the perfect handbag to house her daily needs: wallet, makeup pouch, diary, phone charger etc, so I suggest a style with a little extra space, like a tote. Shopbop is delivering the leathery goods with their collection of fabulous totes, so now is the perfect time to invest fashionista’s!

Add the final cool girl element with some killer accessories. Just like Rosie, I’ve picked a classic pair of Karen Walker sunglasses and a relaxed fedora.

What does your cool girl getup look like? I’de love to hear your must-have accessories so leave me a comment below!

Cheers! Here’s to date night done right, feeling fabulous with a hint of sexy. It seems that first date drinks are quickly replacing the traditional dinner date, a transition I’m definitely partial to.  After all, a glass of bubbly certainly takes the edge off an awkward first encounter.

So, first things first, what does one wear to cheeky first date drinks? Playing the dating game myself, I’m all for helping out a sister! So here are my top 4 tips to styling a fabulous, (champagne friendly) first date outfit.

1. Like Paris, an LBD is always a good idea. Classic and understated, a little black dress will have you feeling fierce and sexy as you sip your cosmo. Not to mention, black is a slimming colour, so you’ll be your most confident you!

2. Put your best foot forward with a point. Point heels are very flattering, helping to extend the line of your leg and create the illusion of long, slim pins!

3. Show off a little sparkle. Other than your stellar personality, a little bit of bling shows you’re a girl with good taste.

4. Embrace your natural beauty. It’s no secret that men love natural beauty, so keep your makeup game as natural as possible. Think fresh dewy skin, slightly flushed cheeks, a soft lip and subtle highlighting for a little extra glow. Keep eyeliner to a minimum, and instead coat those lashes in luxe mascara. After all, it’s perfectly acceptable to bat those lashes at him!

Do you have a little style secret for a first date? I’de love to hear it first, so leave me a note below!
