Yesterday Marina Diamandis, from Marina and the Diamonds, announced that she'll be the new face of MaxFactor! Fans of the blog will know I am a huge Marina fan so I'm really exited for this! Marina really experiments with her make-up with neon pink lips, smoky eyes etc. so I'm guessing the make-up will be quite bright and eclectic to match Marina's style. Can't wait to see what they come up with!
Marina Diamandis, from the band Marina and the Diamonds, is one of my favourite modern icons. I love her music, her style and from tv appearances and interviews her personality is wicked too. She was the first person I blogged about, hopefully my blogging style has evolved from then! Marina was used for Vogue's November edition of "Today I'm Wearing" which is on their website. Each month they have a different star who shows what they wear each day. I've featured some of my favourite shots of the month she did. I love her fun and quirky style, she wears bright colours which looks really good against her milky white skin and black hair. Have a look here.
It was only appropriate for me to feature a Marina and the Diamonds song as this week's Friday Song. So I've chosen my personal favourite "Hollywood" I love the video, so american!
Ok so here goes my attempt at writing a blog, I've wanted to start one for ages! I feel a bit like Carrie Bradshaw right now typing away on my mac thinking about what to write. I'll start with something simple. Marina and the Diamonds is one of the UK's top new female artists, she comes along with the new generation of powerful female stars, think Florence and the Machine, Little Boots etc. Forget Cheryl Cole, this girl is gorgeous, amazing hair, she can actually sing and has great fashion sense. I thought I'd post this interview and photo shoot she did with Edge Magazine, she looks great. Her album is out now and you should check her out as she's touring from October and will be at loads of different festivals this summer!
