    This is a Marie Claire Advertorial

    If you are lucky enough to be lunching in this gorgeous weather then it might be wise to think ahead and plan your working wardrobe taking into consideration both fashion and beauty choices.

    This season designers such as Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel, DVF, Celine and Paul Smith are harking back to Jackson Pollock primary colour arty prints, emulating a cool, casual vibe. Team printed staples with clashing pieces and bold colours for a real style overhaul.

    With beauty remember that super-shiny, glossy, straight hair was visible at most catwalks shows for SS14 and can be instantly attainable by adding Schwarzkopf essence ULTÎME Diamond Color Boost Spray to hair which creates shine while the UV filter helps to protect hair colour.

    Hair accessories are also becoming big news (think more Victoria Beckham and Vera Wang 90s thick black hairbands rather than Alice bands at the gym) while make-up should be kept to a minimal. You want to scream professional, not fashion victim gone wrong.
