SPOTLIGHT: ANDREA from
LEATHER & LATTES ANGREA HETHERINGTON BLOGGER OF LEATHER & LATTES www.leatherandlattes.com Like leatherandlattes Follow @leatherandlattes
Leather and Lattes is a personal style blog by Andrea Hetherington, who has a love for fashion and coffee. On her blog you’ll find outfit posts, product reviews, beauty, inspiration, interviews, and much more!
I have always had an avid interest in fashion and clothes and seeing new trends emerge, but it wasn’t something that was well planned – I just woke up one day and said “I want to start a fashion blog”. So that’s what I did, and now it’s my number one passion. I enjoy putting the outfits together, the photography, and the writing, but most of all putting myself out there and connecting with the audience. I wanted a name that would reflect my lifestyle in Sydney - plenty of fashion and coffee. After a long brainstorming session I came up with Leather & Lattes. It’s simple and catchy, and hopefully entices people to find out more about my blog.
“BEAUTIFUL BRACELETS AND NECKLACES DEFINITELY ADD TO MY SUMMER UNIFORM OF CAMISOLES, SHADES AND DENIM CUT OFFS.” My personal style is smart casual, though more smart than it is casual. I like classic dressing with an edge, for example, adding some spice to an outfit with a killer pair of heels, a statement bag, or a slick leather jacket. When I was younger I loved the boho beach look because I grew up on the coast, then I moved to London and went for the whole rock’n’roll vibe. Sometimes I go back to these roots to mix it up.
“I LOVE LAYERED INTRICATE CHAINS, IT’S ALL ABOUT THE DETAILS!”
D D The latest cultural icons of Paris Couture Week, our new fave flick Wolf of Wall Street and Jay Z and Beyonce’s buying of an Arabian stallion for Blue Ivy’s birthday last month seem to imply life is all about living large and showing it. However we at HFB, doers of things differently, are going back to basics with poise and subtlety!
So let us - with a flourish of a sassily manicured hand - pass onto you the most underrated accessory trend of Spring/ Summer 2014, super fine jewellery.

Stack these elegant pieces with your larger statement pieces or wear alone with a loose button up, whichever way you choose, the dainty delicacies will shine all on its own.

HOW TO
FRAME YOUR FACE
WITH GREAT BROWS
Here at HFB we’re obsessed by brows. And why shouldn’t we be? After all a well maintained brow has the ability to transform your face. Or as Jean Danielson, co-founder of Benefit Cosmetics puts it “You wouldn’t put a picture in an ugly frame and your brows are the frame to your face” That’s us told! But if your caterpillars are out of control, don’t despair! With a little know how it’s easy to pluck your way to make up artist eye brows
1.
Go easy with those tweezers! The trick is to only remove the stray hairs and always tweeze below the brow.
2.
Place pencil like so to define where the inside of your brow should stop. Turn it to the outside of your pupil and this is where your arch should be. 4.
Use a brush pallette or pencil to define the brow. Use it lightly to fill in any gaps in your brows, using quick lights strokes to keep the effect natural.
5.
Highlighting your brow bone to add definition to your face. Dab a few blobs of Benefit’s High Beam across the bone and blend well for some subtle glamour and a stunning effect.
3.
Before defining, make sure you groom them upwards into the desired shape using a small eyebrow brush.
6.
Want your perfectly groomed eyebrows to stay in place all day? Just spray an eyebrow brush with hair spray and brush through each brow. Or simply slick on a teeny bit of Vaseline.

BE THE BOMB Want to be the girl who makes a statement when she enters a room? A head turning look starts with a perfectly gloss pout and high impact colour!
If there’s one thing we love at HFB HQ it’s an all-in-one. We go crazy for nifty little hybrids that do it all and makes the art of expressing ourselves that little bit easier. Maybe that’s why we’ve fallen in love with lip bombs from the award winning Aussie brand Mirenesse. Combining 3 products in one, a gloss, a stain and a lacquer, creating the perfect pout has never be easier. Never again will you have to cram your clutch with multiple products to reapply your
pout in the girl’s bathroom. Just remember to bring your lip bomb and you can reapply in one easy slick. But the one thing that really makes these lip lifesavers stand out? They come in 15 high impact shades so you can switch up your lip look as often as you change your outfit, meaning a fresh, head turning look every time. All that and they’re packed with a non-smearing pigment, lip perfecting spheres for vibrant colour, caring vitamins, a refreshing minty taste and an infinity lip applicator that makes the art of expressing yourself too easy and heaps more colourful. We’re sold!

BRONZE IN
60
SECONDS
These days tanning has nothing to do with hours of sunbaking. We’d much rather get that sun kissed glow in under a minute.
We’re an impatient bunch and we sure don’t like to be left waiting around, especially when it comes to waiting on a fake tan to dry. Luckily home grown Aussie brand Bondi Sands knows all about those nasty fake tan problems and have designed a product to make sure you get a professional, salon quality tan without all the mess, fuss and the impatience of waiting around. Introducing Summer Bronze Instant Tan. It dries in 60 seconds meaning you have more time to do important things like... painting your nails and changing your outfit choice for the third time. And speaking of changing your outfit, it’s also transfer resistant meaning it won’t rub off on to your clothes and ruin your pretty white cocktail dress!
Bondi Sands Summer Bronze Instant Tan, RRP $16.95 each You will receive either the Light/Medium or Dark shade depending on the skin type you selected for your preferences!

MAKES PERFECT SCENTS Got a hot date or just feeling a little flirty? Don’t forget to pop these sweet scents in your handbag for instant playfulness! You know the scenario: You’ve got a hot date, moisturised like there’s no tomorrow, put together your favourite outfit, added an extra slick of mascara and dashed out the door only to realise that you’ve forgotten to apply a seriously important date night essential – You didn’t spritz on your signature scent! Darn it, how is that hot guy going to know you smell like a meadow full of flowers now? Have no fear pretty ladies, Urban Rituelle have fixed that little problem right in the bud
by introducing Sweet Treats Petit Parfum, a range of 5 fabulously sweet fragrances that come in convenient travel size bottles, making them perfect for a quick spray on the go. We reckon you’ll go head over handbags for this nifty little clutch companion because they’re just so darn handy and with playful scents like Cotton Candy, Ginger Apple and Peach Blossom, they’re the perfect precursor for getting your flirt on. We say always keep one in your favourite clutch so you can spritz on any time of the day or night!
Urban Rituelle Petit Parfum, RRP $14.95 each
TOP T IP!
After applying perfume never rub the area you’ve just spritzed. It breaks up the fragrance and distorts the scent.
You will receive one of the Ginger Apple or Vanilla Petit Parfum’s scents
