HUSBAND AND WIFE TEAM TV PRESENTER MATT LITTLER AND ANDREW COLLINGE ART DIRECTOR JAYNE MAHON SHARE THEIR AUTUMN OBSESSIONS.
JAYNE’S OBSESSIONS:
What’s Hot
Blonde, blonde and more blonde! If you’re doing it already, you need to make sure you’re in one of two camps – in the first camp, golden and caramel tones keep the wearable edge to your hair, warming your look up and keeping it current.
Camp number two is bold but with the palest of palettes; it can be tweaked with a creative eye in your salon to take on an easily achieved change of tone. Ask your stylist for advice on how to attain these must-have locks.
My Images
With a couple of shoots under my belt so far, this year has been a pretty busy one; in the latest one I had the luxury of doing it all for myself.
Under the watchful eye of Mr Andrew Collinge, off I went into faze one of planning. On the make-up front, with a clear idea of what I wanted to achieve, I could only turn to my partner in crime, Liz Collinge, who was on hand to share her knowledge of all things make-up.
Clothes were provided by the amazing, talented team at Philip Armstrong; it was every girl’s dream being able to pick what I wanted to suit the theme for my shoot. Those boys certainly know what works for us ladies… Oh and now gents, too! I wanted to create a collection that women could relate to and it was a lovely project to work on.
MATT’S OBSESSIONS:
Late summer read: The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair
If you’re after a book for the plane, the beach or for bedtime, I can heartily recommend this one by Joel Dicker. Set in a quiet American backwater and laden with more twists than is usually allowed without a book resorting to cheap tricks, this whodunit will keep you guessing until the very last pages. Read it now before someone snaps up the film rights and you can boast to your mates that you’re ‘well ahead of the media’.
Charging solution – Native Union – Jump
Anyone stuck on one of those annoying 18 month phone contracts will still be rocking an iPhone 5s, which probably means that you suffer from ‘battery fatigue,’ meaning that by 4pm you need to charge the bloody thing. Native Union have come up with a novel way of always ensuring you have a bit of extra juice on you – the Jump is a cable with a battery attached – so when you’re by a power source you can plug in and charge, when you’re not, the battery takes over giving you enough power to send the inevitable ‘battery at 1% will call later’ text.
The health thing – Birch Water
By this time next year, you will have tasted Birch Water. It’s the new Coconut Water and is pretty much exactly what it sounds like – water from Birch trees. I won’t list all the super human stuff it will do to you but know this – it’s pure, no nasty stuff, and it’s probably one of the best things you can put in your body. You just have to get your head around the fact that it comes out of a tree!
