The Colours We're Loving This Spring

It may not feel like it, what with the snow and the fact it's still only January, but in the fashion world it's time to put away your chunky knits, faux fur coats, and thermal undies, and make room in your wardrobe for SPRING SUMMER 2015!!

The Spring 2015 Pantone Fashion Color Report says we'll be wearing cooler, softer tones this Spring; taking a cue from nature's colour palette with their En Plein Air theme.

Sugarhill Boutique Bark in the Park Dress - £47.00

Toasted Almond (Pantone 14-1213), a neutral and organic shade, is another colour we've been starting to see a lot of in our new season collections.  Glamorous have been embracing the earthy tone early this season with the current 70s/bohemian trend:

Glamorous Brown Scarf Print Maxi Dress - £34.50

We've also been seeing a lot of Marsala (Pantone 18-1438) coming in - set to be the colour of the year according to trendsetters throughout the blogosphere.

"Marsala enriches our mind, body and soul, exuding confidence and stability.  Marsala is a subtly seductive shade, one that draws us in embracing warmth" - Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of Pantone Color Institute (www.pantone.co.uk)

Playsuit: £19.50

Forest print shirt: £22.00

Eggs Do Halloween!

The Thunder Egg staff celebrated Halloween a whole 6 days early at the awesome Pop Bubble Shock by Pop Bubble Rock! PBR is an amazing club night in Manchester, playing pop punk, party hip hop and showering people in confetti. Perfect for a Halloween special!

HERE is a little tutorial of how we did our (super sparkly) sugar skull faces for the night!

Here's the blank face before you begin:

STEP 1:

Remove those eyebrows! We used foundation or concealer and powder to make our eyebrows as neutral as possible. We then added a base layer of white face paint, leaving some skin showing on the cheekbones and around the eye sockets.

STEP 2:

Blend a line of dark eye shadow or powder along just under the cheekbones (where your gaps in white are) and around the top of the head. We just used our fingers to blend.

STEP 3:

Draw a circle round the eye socket using coloured kohl pencil. Follow the eyebrow around the top and then continue this line round the socket. It doesn't have to be super neat because we're going to cover it up with GEMS! Fill this in with an eye shadow of your choosing - maybe one to match your outfit? If you like, now is a good time to add liquid eyeliner to your lids and glitter around the eyes. But do make sure the whole circle is coloured in!

STEP 4:

GEMS! Use eyelash glue (the clear stuff in a little bottle is best) to stick gems on the kohl pencil line - all sizes, shapes and colours are good! We even decorated other parts of our face, such as our foreheads, with them. Just make sure the kohl pencil circle is covered. Don't forget to stick some false eyelashes on after the gems if you like!

STEP 5:

Draw a shape similar to an upside down loveheart on your nose, covering the bottom part (where your nostrils are). We used kohl pencil or liquid eyeliner for this - liquid eyeliner is probably darkest.

STEP 6:

The final step! Lips. There are a couple of options here - you could paint white over your lips and smudge some lipstick into it and paint the black lines over that OR you could do normal lipstick and have the black lines just coming out of the sides.

And you're done! We accessorized with flowers, bows and sparkles. Here's a pic of our finished outfits!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Will you be trying the sugar skulls costume? Tag us in a snap if you do- and remember to tag us on Facebook or Instagram if you also wear any Thunder Egg purchases this Halloween!

Halloween's Coming!

It's that time of the year again where we have a great excuse to dress up and party!

You don't need to go all out with fake blood, cobwebs and vampire teeth for Halloween with our new Autumn/Winter collection.  Bring out your inner witch with these Top Cat pieces from Sugarhill Boutique, both available in a gorgeous rich mulberry and deep green.  

The new Lazy Oaf collection has also arrived and this oversized Poison Shirt would look great for a Halloween party over some fishnets and chunky platforms!

Or team this cute Kitty pinafore with some cat ears and painted on whiskers and you're good to go!

Complete your outfit with one of our Day of The Dead bags or purses from Loungefly.
