Lovely Newface

 New face:
 Frida Aasen
 Joy Models
 Shot by Dennison Bertram
From Norway





This fresh new face Frida Aasen couldn´t be more perfectly timed to enter the fashion world right now! I´m looking forward to be seeing both some amazing boho shots, as well as a strict color block and of course the 60´s. With a face ready-made for adverts as well as fashion spreads and runways with her 1.76cm- I see a bright future for this fellow Norwegian. Hopefully she´ll be in contact with Siri Tolleröd wich also in under Joy Models to learn a thing or two from one of the sweetest (and hardworking) models in the industry.

Love,
Tove

Vamp Weekend! i DIE!

The Lady Is A Vamp
Hong Kong Tatler,
 May 2011
Photographers: Seth Karecha & Ron Contarsy



Where do I begin, well- I´m a sucker for anything in reference to the 20s, 30s and 40s but I´ve never been a huge matchy-matchy fan, but after this editorial for Tatler Hong Kong I’ll be wearing my checkered sealing as a top and my baby purple wall as trousers (doesn´t sound too bad actually!). So the outfits are amazing, the location is ideal but the MAKEUP oh my GOD the makeup you guys. Look at it, it´s actually makeup and not computer brushed spray cans! LOVE IT- and the hair is oh so perfectly mannequin. Ok, I´m officially out of words- BRAVO!

What do you guys think of this? Let´s not be comment shy people!

Love,
Tove

How to shape an eyebrow!

When shaping an eyebrow using a tweezer there are 3 easy steps to follow to makeup sure the angle and size of your eyebrow ends up perfect for you!

A) Place a pencil next to the nose wing, let it cross through the INNER eye corner and mark the spot when it crosses the eyebrow. This is where the eyebrow should START.







B) Place the pencil next to the nose wing again, this time letting it cross on the outside of the IRIS and mark the spot when it crosses the eyebrow. This is where the eyebrow should be ARCHED.

C) Lastly, place the pencil next to the nose wing and let it cross the OUTER eye corner and mark the spot when it crosses the eyebrow. This is where the eyebrow should END.

Tips! The brow between A and B should be about the width of a pencil.

The reason why these 3 steps makes the perfect eyebrow for ANY one is because it is based around the measurement of the individual eye, nose and eye brow. You simply can't go wrong!

Shopping guide for the average woman

When it comes to shopping, it really is wise to have some guidlines in the back of your head before entering the chaos.
I might just speak for my self, but there is an absolute rush to shopping, and you don´t even realize it until you come home with 5 bags filled with things you can´t even remember what is.
I would imagine it feels kind of like gambling- we´re not sure we can afford it, or where we would wear it, but I still want it!!
So here are 5 of my top shopping tips that allows you to still shop, but slightly smarter.

Love,
Tove

1
SKINCARE



Buy your skincare from a skincare therapist. Why? Because if your car breaks down, you don´t take it to the gas station do you? no- if you want your skin done right, you have to go to the brands that specialize in skin treatment and improvement and not it flashy bottles, Hollywood ads and high-end names.

Makeup

  When you’re looking for an eye shadow, there’s a very easy trick you can do to make sure the eye shadow will stay on and last you for at least a year. Simply rub the eye shadow on your fingertip, apply to the back of your hand. If the color comes out as intense and in the same shade as you see in the box, the eye shadow should be good. Cheaper eye shadows will tend to look a shade lighter on your hand. This means you will end up using a lot more product to get the effect you wanted.





3

SALE


Don´t buy on sale. If you think about it, of all the items you have bought during the big sales throughout the years, do you end up using that much? When we go on sale, we are just on a mission to get SOMETHING. Of course, sometimes we do bargains, but seriously- The big summer and Christmas sales are really just emptying our pockets instead of saving up for some descent statement peaces you will cherish for years.





4
HAIR






Invest in hair products. Again, if you want to take care of and improve your hair, you must go to the expert. Even thought the professional hair products are a little more expensive, you use less product to get the desired treatment and your hair will grow better.

NEWSET TRENDS


When you’re looking for the next seasons wardrobe, try to look out the classics that we see come back over and over. These will obviously last you longer, and you can invest in them with an easy heart. (Fall 2010: Cape, trench coat, color camel, leopard, 60´s sweaters, knit) But of course, don´t forget the fun, extreme statement pieces, but buy them as cheap as possible, because chances are you´ll wear them to bits the next 4 months, then put them away for the next statement trend.
