A Modern take on the 80’s – Balmain

INSPIRATION
August 26 2009

The era of the Baggy off-the-Shoulder top, jumpsuits, leggings and Shoulder pads has rapidly crept into trends of the NOW. Well, I wasn’t alive in the 80’s but my mum was. Having looked through some old photographs of her during that decade…i have noticed many similarities, in the way she dressed, with what i’ve seen around recently. According to mama, that was a fun time for her. Care free and upbeat. She wasn’t afraid to take risks and experiment. I admire her for that. One of my favourite designers at the moment for A/W 2009 is the divine Balmain. The… Read More »

BEAUTY
August 18 2009

Those who know me, or have heard my rants about why my sister was blessed with the best lashes in the world, and not me, know I have tried almost every mascara under the sky…(I mean except for those ridiculously priced ones. Hey, I’m not rich…yet! ;)) …and so far I have found only a few that do it for my sad excuse of lashes! So i’m going to share these fab finds with you! I use all of them interchangebly (Whichever I grab first) and I don’t have an explicit fave out of the bunch, they all just seem… Read More »

August 17 2009

Hello all! This is a really cute outfit for those of you who are back to school soon! It’s also a chill out outfit too! I’m just loving the Plaid pattern.

My makeup is simple…eyeliner, mascara, msf foundation and a pink lippy (chatterbox). I also styled my hair differently, looks pretty goood huh…Thanks to my GHDs! 🙂 Just for Jokes… Here’s the Video: Thanks for stopping by! xoxo,

My Hair Stylist Lily V.’s got Skillss! lol! The hair is of very good quality (Closest thing to Human hair ~ 100% i believe, 16 inches, wavy) so I can curl it, straighten it, do what ever… Read More »

MakeUp Tutorial – My Qipao Inspired Look

BEAUTY
August 4 2009

Hey everyone! I felt like i needed to do a makeup tutorial because it’s been ages since i did one. I got inspiration from my Qipao, a traditional Chinese dress (Pronounced Chee-Pow). What serves as a worthy testament to the beauty of the Qipao is, it does not require the wearer to pep up the look with accessories like scarves and belts. It’s designed to show off the natural softness of the female form. I love learning about different cultures and traditions. With a world so big, there is always something to discover! Hopefully you will enjoy the tutorial and… Read More »
