A Midsummer Night's Dream







The spirit of Shakespeare lives on - and not just on stage and screen! Even the most cynical amongst us will be hard-pressed not to be enchanted by Paul & Joe's Summer 2012 cosmetic collection, inspired by the bard's much-loved A Midsummer Night's Dream. I've already fallen in love with Limited Edition Shimmering Pressed Powder G, which adds a sun-kissed glow wherever it's dusted. The butterfly-motif powder has three, skin-flattering shades - bronze, rose and gold - perfect for cheeks, brows, shoulders and decollete. We can't wait for its arrival at Violetta. Place your order quickly, as there are a limited number available. 







Thinking about romanticism and all-things-Shakespeare...My latest photographic crush - Signe Vistrup, shot the above and below images for  ELLE Denmark.  This Danish-born, Copenhagen based photographer shoots for Dansk, ELLE, Vogue, VS, Tush, and Vanity Fair to name but a few, creating some of the most beautiful images that I've seen for some time. Check out her website http://signevilstrup.dk/ for more of her delicious images.
