Orange is the New Black

Okay so maybe black lips never caught on, but I thought it was a catchy title nonetheless ... well, for those who have stumbled upon the recent american series 'orange is the new black'.
Anyways, whilst us norms are still wrapping up in a multitude of layers, the ever glamourous industry that is fashion have already released the 2014 spring trends, keeping my optimism as to the arrival of sun somewhat alive.

The orange lip has been a reoccurrence for quite some time. This year, the likes of John Galliano and dsquared2 are but a few to have sprang this up on the runway and to have yet again, made it a 'go to' statement lip for the spring months to come.

'Pretty In Pink' Lip Combination

Pink isn't a colour we typically associate with fall and winter, but the likes of Marc Jacobs and Paul Smith turned heads on the runway at fashion week when collections were attired with anything from edgy metallic pieces to tailored rosy hues. Though I do like to test my comfort zones often, I highly doubt you'll find me sporting an all pink get up this season. However, Make up is an aspect I can easily change up on a daily basis and so pink lips were clearly the way to go.
