Inspiration: Swedish Summer.

One of our favourite spring/summer 2011 collections is the 'Swedish Summer' look from Topshop. It embraces all the elements that we love; florals, floaty fabrics, scallop edging, 70's vibes and quirky styling. This trend, for us, gives us everything we need for that perfect summer look. Inspired!

Say goodbye to your LBD because colour is the new colour of the season. One of our personal favourites this spring is citrus. Whether it be mustard, yellow, rust, orange or lemon here at Rapture we can't get enough of it. We found some great inspiration of how to style this colour. Our personal favourites are how The Fish Tank mix (top left) mixs it up with a pop of mustard and the heritage look jacket and Stylorectics (bottom right) sophisticated but fun combination of mint and rust. We say, the more colour the better!

Un-touched Beauty

We're astonished here at Rapture to discover a beauty ad that is promoting the non use of airbrushing! Parisan make-up brand Make Up Forever have introduced a High Definition Foundation and they claim the foundation is so good that they don't even need to airbrush the ads they have released. We're pretty sure that most magazines won't be ditching the airbrushing in favour of a good foundation but for us regular girls it could be the camera confident foundation that we have been praying for. Say cheese!
