Summer Sliders

Your new summer staple: the slider!!! And no I'm not talking about those small delicious morsels of a burger...I'm talking about shoes! 

Sliders have come along way, this year we saw them all over the catwalk from Isabel Marant and Chloe to Celine.

From sporty to statement, the traditional pool shoe has been re-vamped!!!

Contour

Contour is a make up technique every MUA has in their arsenal! Last week I went to watch Maleficent and was in awe of Angelina Jolie's fabulous cheekbones! 

Yes they are prosthetics, the work of Rick Baker and Jolie's personal make up artist Toni G, but they are incredible! So ok, we are living in the real world here not Disney, but who doesn't want more defined cheekbones?! 

Creating those perfected sculpted cheekbones just got a little easier with these great contour palettes!!!

The Denim Shirt

Dark wash or light wash?

Buttoned up or unbuttoned?

Plain or embroidered?

Dress it up or dress it down?


Every woman should own a denim shirt! It's super versatile and will take you from day to night on every occasion! It's a wardrobe staple!!!

Table Talk: Moose Coffee

Table Talk: Moose Coffee

Location: 20 York Street, Manchester (There are 3 other locations across Liverpool)

They say: "Our aim is to provide an American Diner influenced breakfast and brunch experience with an authentic short order menu and premium espresso based coffee. We are service orientated with a warm and welcoming atmosphere"

Perfect for: Lazy weekend brunches.

Atmosphere: I was there midweek midday and the queue was out the door, because of it's small nature it was buzzy in atmosphere but felt relaxed and we weren't rushed. Takeaway option is also available.

What we ordered:

- New York Moose - Two poached eggs served on a toasted bagel with grilled parma ham and homemade hollandaise sauce.

- New England Moose - Two poached eggs on a bed of spinach seasoned with garlic butter and pepper. Served on a fresh bagel and covered in homemade hollandaise.

- Homemade American Pancakes - with blueberries and maple syrup.

- Classic Americano 

- Cappuccino

What I liked:

- The menu, such a wide variety of eggs benedict, spoilt for choice. 

- The homemade hollandaise.

- One of the best soy cappuccinos I have ever tasted, quality coffee.

- Huge american pancakes.

Overall: A great original place to go with friends for a relaxed breakfast or brunch, quality food and coffee.
