Predictably Pretty
Dolls, I never go anywhere where being pretty isn't a priority. I don't live in a world where pretty exists, I am pretty therefore the world exists. There's no denying, though, that each and everyone of you is uniquely pretty. Some say it comes down to genetics, but I believe that a world capable of breeding prettiness to the extent that is me and my Shopaholics is a world to put faith into. The world will tell us our predictably pretty traits for the year of 2023 through our horoscopes but yours truly, will interpret them for you. Get ready to relish, Dolls.
CAPRICORN (DEC 22- JAN 19)
Caps, dough prosperity is in your favour this year. Trust that your investment decisions will be nothing short of instinctual and methodical.. You are not an impulsive person and if you have had your eye on a Dior lipstick, then indulge in buying from designer brands for it will surely be an indulgence that is of calculation. Capricorn Dolls, your energy levels are destined to drastically escalate... a natural prettiness that most of us only wish we could predict! Maximise its predictability factor through maintaining excellent sleep hygiene, water hydration and a luxurious skincare routine.
AQUARIUS (JAN 20-FEB 18)
Whilst trends will be established, your bank balance won't be. And I know that sounds like a bummer but here's the thing, Dolls, the prettiest people in the world are timeless.
Think Marilyn Monroe and Keira Knightley. Professionalism is where you are excelling, which is why in order to be predictably pretty, you must lay the foundation for a classy, confident and upmarket look. Considering the promising nature of this department, I recommend a pinch of research with your purchases for a result that has longevity and cost effectiveness.
PISCES (FEB 19- MARCH 20)
I might be a little biased, but this year, Pisces have a pretty factor that is as predictable as the back of their hand. Your love life is due to be extravagant, passionate and ever-so-romantic with initially, flirtatious and flimsy delights that progress into intimacy and security. As a result, your outfit and makeup choices should start as 'girl next door' (think coats of mascara, dainty dresses and sweet perfumes) and evolve into seductive, sophisticated looks (think high heels, petticoats and red lipstick).
ARIES (MARCH 21- APRIL 19)
My sweet Arie Dolls, everything is up in the air for you this year (no pun intended)! Chaos and unpredictably will wreak havoc around you so seeking predictability has never been more important. No matter what the fashion storm brings, you have to keep a clear focus and trust your gut. This year, you are the only one who can inform you what pretty looks like. Just like you're encouraged to dedicate quality time into your relationships, you must dedicate quality time into your every la mode and le maquillage move... Plan outfits the night before (without scrolling Pinterest for inspiration), use vintage and hand-me-down blushes and bronzers (products that are reliable=key!) or invest in items you've had a gravitational pull towards for weeks/months/years!
TAURAS (APRIL 20- MAY 20)
Your horizons are on every continent this year, Dolls as your fortune is flourishing in diversity. You'll be predictable in your unpredictability - The more that you immerse yourself in unique cultural styles, the more others will be in awe of your authentic combinations. You may delicately shade your eyelids in muted browns, like the Japanese, you may carefully use the strobing technique, like the French or you may accessorise in piercings and Henna, like the Indians. Every part of the world is your Oyster, Taurus Dolls...
GEMINI (MAY 21- JUNE 20)
Hey Gemini babies, though your sign is often cast as having a 'big' personality, it is attention in the little details that will propel you in your le maquillage and la mode direction. I'm inviting you to explore dainty rings, a gold leaf flecked eyeshadow, everything in between plus more. Your frustration is set to grow, perhaps as you contradict your fundamental mannerisms with an alternative alter fashion ego, but the remedy is prescribed to you in the form of cleanliness. It's crucial that in order to find and then exceed your most fundamentally pretty set point, you must shower in vanilla daily, always have tweezed brows and keep those teeth minty!
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)
My precious cancer Dolls, you are your own pretty demon this year... Whilst you get your best results from being meticulous with your choices, it is overthinking them that will be detrimental in your ability to achieve consistency. For example, you may purchase a mascara that becomes your signature mascara, but one comment made about their excessive length will deter you from applying it the following day. The solution? Shop for prettiness in the fundamental departments (having a go-to nude colour scheme or a signature scent) as opposed to the minute details of the brand, shape or variety. I confess, Cancer Dolls, that you must put faith into your fortune because it's expected that success will be the outcome of your pretty investments.
LEO (JULY 23- AUG 22)
Leo's, you're advised to avoid aggression at all costs if you plan to produce positive results. It's foundational that you adhere to this prediction by engaging in the antithesis of aggressive looks. Avoid bold moves, even elegant ones, statement pieces and dark colours. As a result, you won't be cast as a villain, and will therefore, be financially rewarded in the last quarter for all of your endeavours. At this pivotal point, you will have the opportunity to impulsively splurge and participate in the newest, most exciting trend! Perhaps you'll be the proud owner of yellow diamond earrings or a new shade of Fenty lip gloss.
VIRGO (AUG 23- SEP 22)
Sorry Virgos, but your summer loving days are coming to an end...
The items you've been longing for, though tempting, will bite you in the back by breeding results entirely different to what you were expecting. Instead, you will have to take matters into your own hands and make your summer loving a serious affair. Scavenge your closet and create a wow factor with your 'eh' clothes and 'eh' makeup products. Show your commitment to these abandoned, lonesome objects until you remember what had you summer loving them in the first place!
LIBRA (SEP 23- OCT 22)
Lucky Libras is your new catch phrase, Dolls, because it's your prime time to be a true Shopaholic. Money is in the bank and you get to be filthy with your riches. Whilst luck is exciting, it's important that you don't abuse the natural scale tilt that's leaning in your favour... Every purchase, no matter its cost, must be pondered and considered before you tap and go. You're lucky, not dumb lucky, Dolls.
SCORPIO (OCT 23- NOV 21)
Scorpios, your fashionable fortune isn't lacking... It's just delayed. In order to be predictably pretty, you have to initially recognise your natural and pre-existing beauty. Towards the latter half of the year, you will already have a sturdy base of prettiness so your excess purchases will simply be to accentuate certain aspects. Everyone will predict that you'll outshine all the other stars by perfecting the tiny descrepneices that others can't. Perhaps it's your strong and healthy natural nails, long and shiny hair or sweet freckles that are el natural. And perhaps you seal the deal post July with coats of baby pink shellac, a hair perm or a darling dash of rose blush on your upper cheekbones.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22- DEC 21)
Finances will be tight this year, sagittarius Shopaholics, so luxurious expenditures at designer brands or boutique salons are a big N. O.
Your most predictably pretty asset is your heart and soul, Dolls. It is acts of service, words of affirmation and quality time that will form an iridescent halo around you aura. Nothing is more predictably pretty than a predictably pretty Queen!
So Darling Dolls, what's your takeaway? Are you surprised, excited, trepidatious or contempt? I hope your read was worthy and that as an outcome, you live to be the prettiest Doll your star sign has ever seen!
Kisses,
COS x
