Updates: Brighton Fashion Week

Myself and fellow creative Nina Sagri took part in Brighton Fashion Week 2010. We held a one hour workshop at the Brighton Dome entitled 'Be Your Own Stylist' where we gave focused styling and make-up advice to a group of lovely ladies.

We will be organising further, more in-depth wokshops very soon. To register early interest in these just drop us a line: info@laluminata.co.uk

Updates: My Big News

So lots of exciting things have been happening at the La Luminata headquarters recently and one of these is that I have got engaged! So after the celebratory party was organised, the cocktails mastered, the venue booked and the ring chosen I was left with the conundrum of what to wear and what make-up look to go for.

Luckily the kind folks at Nvey Eco sent me a gorgeous set of products to create a glamorous look for the night! The products are fantastically long-lasting and stayed put for the whole evening despite many cocktails, air kissing and non-stop talking! I am wearing Eco lipstick in 364, Eyeshadow in 162 and Natural cake eyeliner in Black, perfect for any party.

Updates: Future Visions

We are officially launching La Luminata this week, and in celebration of this we have created a book called 'Future Visions'.

We asked some of the top and most influential Eco Designers, Bloggers, Photographers, Ethical Brands, Artists, Trendwatchers and Style Mavericks one simple question...

'What is your vision of the future?'

The result is this book. Full of conceptual ideas, potential future trends and insights, all wrapped up with beautiful images from our hand-picked, chosen few contributors.
