All about Black.

SHOPPING
September 19 2010

(Mini MAC Haul.)  There are a few things that have been sitting pretty on my wishlist for a while now, and I used the opportunity while picking up the shadows I had hit the pan on (Carbon & Amber Lights), to finally purchase some of them. I made the observation when photographing my purchases that I bought mostly Black things, hence the title of the post, Lol… I’m such a geek! I picked up Blacktrack (Fluidline), Smolder (Eye Kohl), the brushes 266 and 214, oh and a 4 pan pro pallette to keep in my makeup bag! Just thought I’d… Read More »

The Art of Darkness Collection…

PHOTO DIARY
September 12 2010

Yesterday, Sammi and I made our way down to Beak Street, where the new Illamasqua Flagship Store is situated, to attend a preview of the Art of Darkness collection. We were the first few to see the new store, which was a huge privilage. It was spacious and very beautifully decorated right down to the fine details, like the sparkly floors and gleaming glass reception stand. The Art of Darkness is… “a world where seeing is believing, and believing can be dangerous… …a world in which the lines between the real and the mythical, the past and the future, the… Read More »

Freedom at Topshop.

SHOPPING
September 8 2010

In the little mall close to where I live, there houses a small Topshop Outlet where pieces from past seasons are sold at generous prices. I was so delighted when I discovered these beauties, that were only £2 each. How amazing! I’m getting into rings a lot more these days (thanks to the incredible photos I source from Tumblr.). The lovely peach broche, I could attach to my blazer, or slide in my hair, and as for the earrings, they are just too cute.  I simply had to buy them! ..xo *PS: If you have a Tumblr account, I’d love… Read More »

BEAUTY
September 4 2010

I wanted to try out my new Makeup Store eyeshadow in Sunrise today. It’s probably my new favourite shadow (After MAC’s Amber Lights). It’s a shimmery pigmented Orange that applies very smoothly onto the lid. I have it on with a winged eyeliner and defined lashes (Some mascara and falsies). I also used it as a blush for my cheeks!  What I have on the rest of my face: MACs MSF Natural TBS Bronzer YSL’s Golden Gloss No. 30 While rummaging through my nail polish drawer, I found an old favourite of mine, Rimmel’s 60 Seconds Nail varnish in sunrise,… Read More »

Well, not me technically…it’s my younger siblings (and the rest of England) that are back to school. haha This is sort of a back to school outfit, hopefully inspiration for those lovelies who are allowed to wear their own clothes to school! A simple pair of jeans and a plain white tee can never go wrong. Paired with different accessories and other pieces, you can constantly switch it up for every day of the week!

August 24 2010

This evening was oh so lovely. I was in the delightful company of my sister and a dear friend of ours. We went to see Step up 3D which was great (..amazing dancing and a very good-looking cast. hehe!). We settled for some drinks afterwards and chilled and chatted, while we enjoyed the cool night’s breeze. There were tonnes of girly giggles and laughter throughout and we honestly had fun. My ensemble for the evening… I donned my black & white stripy tee, paired it up with some harem trousers and Oxford brogues, and accesorised the outfit with my feather bag. I popped a bit of colour into… Read More »

Little Cream Dress.

FASHION, OUTFITS
August 20 2010

Yesterday felt more like one of those typical days in September, rather than in August… and I liked it. I spent it with my family. We went into town for some retail therapy and I picked up a few things which i’ll be sharing with you in my upcoming posts. I purchased this dress a couple of days ago from H&M for only £25. I love the colour, material and gorgeous frill detailing. It’s just beautiful.  It’s easily transition-able, can be worn in the summer (..here I paired it with a thin brown belt, some leopard print pumps and a vintage brown… Read More »
