Spring fashion is all about individuality and "daring to wear" whatever it is that YOU feel most comfortable in. Thankfully, Fashion Gurus have given us a few pointers to get us on the right track.

Springtime 2010 is taking fashion right back to basics, with "less is more" being the philosophy and "functionality" the signature look of the season. Whether it's Ralph Lauren, Chloé or M&S, cute jackets, khaki dresses, denim pieces, and a plethora of soft pants are the items to be seen in and those which adorned runways across the globe during the unveiling of the latest spring collections. Fashionistas have been quoted as saying that "Frivolity is not cool anymore!" and that in light of the current economic climate people have reevaluated what they think is important and necessary, electing "function" as the new luxury. After all, as we are generally spending more time indoors watching the box and less going out on the town, we have less need for glitzy, glamorous evening attire.

• Purge Your Beauty Bar

3 Step

Follow a basic 3 step routine of cleanse, tone and moisturise morning and night. These 3 simple steps will transform your skin and help put your best face forward.

Organisation

Get organized and banish bacteria from your beauty bag. Sort through cosmetics, throwing away any cream or liquid makeup over a year old and any powders (whether it's eye shadow, blush or bronzer) that's been around for two years or more. Throw out mascara after three months as irritating bacteria develop and can easily cause an eye infection.
