I’ve been wanting a Tweed jacket for the longest time, and so when I peeped at this one in a Vintage Store in town (Wilder), I just had to get it. It reminds me of the ones daddy used to wear. Daddy’s a very sharp dresser, and I sometimes borrow his clothes, and feminise them with skinny belts, leggings and the like! hehe! When picking out a bag to go with the outfit, I saw that the detail in the button on the jacket complemented the pattern on this bag I bought from Primark some time ago. I think I’ve… Read More »

Everytime I buy a new pair of shoes, my world brightens up. I fall in love all over again. And I dream dreams of where the new beauties will take me… Pointed shoes have been out of the Fashion lime light for a while, but these babies may just initiate their return. 🙂 ..xo Black Pointed Toe Court Shoes : Zara, £59.99.

I think this dress has to be my favourite dress. Ever. I feel so girly in it. I know I’ve shown it to you before, but gah, I had to show it again, this time accesorised differently (With a Hat and Satchel). Accessories are such a good way to switch up an outfit, wouldn’t you agree? I had a bit of fun jumping around on my bed shooting it. 😀 Poor springs though! :/ lol! I want to say a big thank you to the lot of you who read yesterday’s post, commented and sent me e-mails. A lot of… Read More »

London Fashion Week, Day 02 : M·A·C’s Booth & Betty Jackson AW11 Show.

London Fashion Week
February 23 2011

Picture me, on one quiet weeknight sitting at my desk going through the last few questions on my Algebra paper, when up pops an e-mail alert. I ponder who it could possibly be from and so I open it. Out from my very lips comes a squeal at the content of the e-mail.  I was kindly invited by M·A·C to join them at their London Fashion Week Booth for a Trend Overview and a make-up masterclass with non other than the amazing Terry Barber, Director of Make-Up Artistry at M·A·C, I read further and found that Betty Jackson’s AW11 Show… Read More »

I’m in London!!! Got in this afternoon and hurried along home to my lovely sweety chums. I managed to snap these photos while the sun was still out as I couldn’t let the day go without archiving this outfit. I’m a bit silly in the rest of them, my brother Alan has a way of bringing out this side of me! Lol! There were hardly any serious moments to actually snap the outfit and I had to constantly beg him to stop making me laugh! Aww, but it was so much fun! Hope you still like them! 🙂 ..xo LOL… Read More »

Some time ago I showed you This Post, where I chatted about my Top 5 blushes at the time. A lot of you liked the idea of the post, so today I will be sharing with you my Top 5 MAC Lipsticks! I will also show you some dupes I have in my collection, that are closely matched to these. The dupes are not the exact same as the MAC lippies, but bare similar qualities, and can be used, in most cases to achieve the same look! 🙂 LIPSTICK SWATCHES I swatched the lispticks on my lips so you can… Read More »

I’ve been talking about going to see Black Swan for ages now, ever since I first saw the trailer…I finally did today and it was amazing!! It’s a psychological thriller starring Natalie Portman, who plays a ballet dancer Nina. Nina wins the lead to the very famous play Swan Lake, and she is perfect for the role of the White Swan (soft, delicate) but slowly loses her mind as she becomes more like the Black Swan (dark). Natalie Portman is such an incredible actress and her perfromance was very captivating! As I was off to the movies I opted for… Read More »
