New Vintage Gems.

June 29 2011

Why does it feel like yonks since I last blogged? I think it’s because I’ve been so incredibly busy, and have not had time to even check my tweets or e-mails, let alone hit the “New Post” button! How are we all?? Very well I hope, the weather’s been good, so no complaining there! It’s nice though, to finally have some time to relax, and talk to you all! 🙂 Here are two vintage gems I’ve picked up, the clutch (£10) from the local charity shop, and scarf (£5) from a market stall on my brief visit to Brick Lane… Read More »

Oh the weather was lovely this afternoon, and from what I hear, it’s going to be really lovely this coming week!! Yay! I love my new Botanical Kimono Cardi. Paired it with one of my favourite wardrobe pieces, these Topshop Jeans/Leggings and some sandals. Can you believe the lipstick I’m wearing is only £1??? It’s by MUA, a small concession in Superdrug! It’s really moisturising and the colour pay off is amaze! 😀 Hope you’re having a nice saturday! 🙂 Kimono : Primark Tee : H&M Jeans : Topshop Belt : Topshop Sandals : Topshop Satchel : Primark

My mum did a clearout of her closet some weeks back, and as I was helping her, I discovered so many gems. This vintage skirt was one of them. I love how flowy it is, and the colour is just me. I have so many other pieces that mum kindly gave to me, hopefully I’ll share them with you as we go along! 🙂 ..xo Skirt : Vintage (Mum’s) Bustier : Vintage (Beyond Retro) Belt : PrimarkJacket : H&M Flats : H&M Bag : Topshop Rings & Things : Topshop, H&M & Gift Girls

I always carry a pair of flats in my bag. Always.  No matter how many times I try and convince myself that “Oh these are the most comfortable heels I’ve ever worn” and Yes they usually are – for those few minutes I bounce around admiring them in my room – but just wait until I get to town! LOL! These pretty little peep toe flats came in so handy yesterday, I tell you! (Feel free to “spot the difference” in the shots ahaha!) Got up really early in the morning and drove down to London with my sister Kezia, and… Read More »

Silver Foxy Woods, £95 : Jeffery Campbell (C/O Zalando) Ahhhhh. And again..Ahhhhh! Do you guys know how much I’ve been wanting a pair of Foxy Woods??? Well, if you didn’t, I really lusted for a pair. So you can imagine my excitement when I was contacted by Zalando, offering to send me a pair…Let’s just say I died. They arrived this morning, wrapped and boxed up ever so nicely. I opened up the package and the glittering beauties stared right back at me, asking to be tried on. And ofcourse I did, they looked beaut, even with my Primark heart… Read More »

My favourite place.

There’s a little park just around the corner from my house, where I like to go often, to clear my head. It’s quiet and peaceful. I decided today to take my books with me on my little trip to it, as I felt I’d be able to get some work done. I’ve never been much of a library person, don’t ask why, I much prefer to study in my room with some soft music playing, or at Starbucks with the hazey voices of other coffee lovers in the background. I recently discovered that studying here yields just as good results.… Read More »

INSPIRATION

Michael Kors Resort 2012. Inspired by the beachside city lifestyle of Sydney, Australia, the collection features an exciting mix of Neon Brights, Zebra Print and Scuba inspired pieces…makes me want to book a holiday NOW! But I also love how it can be translated to dressing that is normal for the City Girl. Love the Green and Black Stripped Dress, I can see myself strolling about town in it and that Pink Evening Gown… Divine! [Images : Fashionologie]

Cobalt Touch.

BEAUTY
June 3 2011

We’re all used to the usual Black Eyeliner, but why not switch it up with a bit of colour? There’s a genius way of doing this… Spray some MAC Fix + on an Angled Eye liner Brush, then Dip it into any colour you want (I used a Cobalt Blue) and line those eyes! I filmed this one in collaboration with Klaire De Lys, who’s a lovely youtuber! I hope you enjoy! xo What I used… ~ Face ~ Foundation : MAC Face + Body (C7) (Sleek Foundation Brush)Powder : MAC Mineralise Skin Finish Natural (Dark) Concealer : MAC Studio… Read More »

Yesterday I spent the day with my friend Rachel! We had been going on for ages about having a day out, and since we both had a break from school, we decided to! We went for lunch (Chinese, YUM!), then had a little walk round the city. Rachel is so fun to be around, we have soo much in common, it’s quite scary! She also doesn’t mind messing around taking pictures in public, with an audience of on looking passers by! haha!  We ended up at the Cinema after our walk about, and we saw Pirates of The Caribbean 4, which was… Read More »
