Hello lovelies! So I thought it’d be fun (and hopefully helpful) to make this video, as I’ve discovered so many tricks that have been working so well for me, right from hair styles through to bras that work perfectly with various garments! I also had a little camera play, hence the shots! 😉 My top is a gorgeous number from Reiss. It reminds me of a dress that Beyonce wore to an awards show recently… white, lace, elegant…what more could you want? I hope you enjoy the video!
I love that I can achieve such great shots with my little old iPhone! As much as I love to carry around my big DSLR, sometimes it’s more practical to have my phone on hand to capture those instant moments for my instagram and other social media. As I write this post, I’m sitting on my floor, in a pair of paint cladded leggings and tee! …I’ve been painting! Planned extensions and redecorations underway of my home, as well as a new home office. As you can imagine I’ve been running helter-skelter trying to find bits and pieces to fit… Read More »
The last time I posted was right before I jetted off to LA, and boy that was a WHILE ago. If you follow me on Instagram or my Vlog Channel you’d have seen little peaks here and there into my trip, which was awesome. I spent the most part of it resting and just basking in the sun we get so little of here in Britain. I also took the liberty to slow down a little on vlogging/blogging after my week of YouTube events and networking. Shopping in Hollywood was amazing, beach days out in Malibu were relaxing and I… Read More »
Here are my favourite Shirlstagram moments in the last few weeks! Ohhh I love instagram! I’ve said this before, haha!You can follow my adventures there as well: @ShirleyBEniang. 🙂 It’s been one heck of a busy week and I’m planning on having a weekend with nothing but relaxation, catching up on my favourite blogs and a bit of netflix. Oh yes, the good life. Hope you have an awesome one too! 1. New Nudes. 2. Clean Bedroom = Happy Shirley! 3. I keep an inventory of all my lipsticks… soo many, so I don’t buy them over again by accident. 4.… Read More »
I’m sat here editing some footage for my YouTube Channel, and I thought, hey I need to check in with you guys! How are you all? So, where do I even begin? It’s been a whirlwind of ups and downs this January (January Blues?). I’m currently riding the up wave! So yay! Lol!I’m working on some amazing content for my channel (and blog), been in and out of meetings and studios since mid-week last week and all I can say is I’m super excited to share some amazingness with you guys very soon. But, the start of the year wasn’t… Read More »
I’m sprawled across my floor with a bunch of chilled things to do this evening! Cleopatra is playing and I’m admiring Miss Taylor’s costumes and makeup… can we just have a moment to appreciate this amazing movie? I’m also flipping through this month’s InStyle and grabbing so much inspiration! I was reading an article about colour and I began to think how fun it would be to incorporate more of it into my wardrobe and makeup looks! I’ve become so comfortable with my go-to classic black/white – with a pop of red 😉 – palette and even though I loooove… Read More »
ZARA Dress / ZARA Heels / H&M Clutch / RIVER ISLAND Watch / H&M Rings I attended a garden party on a roof terrace in Covent Garden yesterday, along with a few other YouTubers and Bloggers! With cocktails, delicious sandwiches and cupcakes, there was a lot of fun to be had! The theme was Secret Garden so I chose to wear this beautiful dress I’ve been dying to wear ever since I purchased it. It’s flowy and girly and I felt like such a little lady in it! I paired it with some red heels and a black clutch. Black,… Read More »
What better way to test out my new setup for filming and photographing my tutorials by just goofing around and snapping away in the process!? Haha! ^.^ Have a super weekend everyone! On my lips: Cherry Lipliner & Ruby Woo Lipstick, both by MAC. Bodysuit from Primark.
We’re half way through December and the time is fast approaching, if not already here, to reflect on the past year. A lot has changed since the beginning of the year, but I’m so grateful for all the experiences I’ve had and learnt from. I’m looking forward to what the next year will bring. My Instagram Challenge has been going well, although I must admit, it has been a real challenge: remembering to snap away in between meetings and my busy schedule, and also making sure I’ve got the right shot! Haha! But that’s what it’s all about isn’t it?… Read More »
