Such a beautiful wedding



Its every girl's dream to get married, with a church from a storybook, matching bridesmaid's and that all important elegant and sophisticated dress.



Its what every girl dreams of, a cropped top dripping with swarvoski crystals, with a matching skirt which shows off that classy belly button piercing and lovely meringue like ruffles train which looks ever so elegant.


Another thing that must be worn is that all important tiara that should be bigger than the queens, those lovely dangle earrings and to top it off, a special choker.
Of course a bride should not be without her famous spray tan which gives a nice healthy orange glow, having her hair done in loose waves with an half up do. A a big sweep of Blusher gives that nice touch along with oh so pretty red lipstick.


Would you believe this wedding cost £100,000 ( approx $200,000) with that lovely dress costing £16,000 ( $32,000). Missy and Thomas at only 16, decide to get married, with the bill at her dad, 35, expense. Doesn't the mother look stunning in her pale sea green with matching swarvoski covered bra to the bride.

For All Those with Thick Hair

thinning shears

Thinning shears(or thinning scissors as I like to call them) should be used to thin out your hair. I suggest Massugu thinning scissors as these scissors have been designed specifically with the beginning hairdresser in mind. These are simply gap-toothed scissors that cut only half the hair. These also come with various gap sizes, depending on what you need cut away.

I've seen how many people struggle with thick hair and I can just imagine the pain it is to manage it, hope this helps.

I fell in love for the first time

with purple....
Purple is just a blah colour, like green, its non exist in my wardrobe and that's how I have always planned it to be until i saw this little gem on shopbop.
Its oh so rich aubergine, richness overwhelmed my fashion taste buds, the soft leather, the clunky lock and the rich purple. I think this is the first time ever, purple has ever seems so pretty.
I need this bag, it positively screams at me, " buy me, how great would i look with that navy peacoat in your closet", " buy me".
Its Kooba Natasha for $645, which is sadly out of my price range even for christmas! i have to many other things i want.
Speaking of randomness, i fancy a chocolate milkshake, and law and order SVU is on. I am seriously addicted to this show.

Credit Crunch

Oh I may only be teenager with no job but a monthly allowance but that only goes so far.Although the credit crunch doesnt really affect me but with the news reporting of the economy down the crapper and my account looking a little low, I think its time to think about what im spending.

How I intend to stay above the credit crunch…


- Magazines, oh how I love you dearly, I look forward to purchasing an arm full of magazines each month but it is time to say goodbye to most of you. I’m only going to buying one magazine a month, Cosmo girl. It filled with everything that teen vogue has and more with actual affordable items.
- EBay, I’m going to be auctioning some items this week with a bit of luck! I need a bit of cash for winter clothes! There are so many items on Urban Outfitters which are calling my name. Also with a bit of luck, if people keep clicking my ads I’ll have $100 bucks coming my way.

- Giving up those yummy Lattes from Starbucks which cost £3.50 which is around $7. As much as love my frequent Starbucks hits, I simply must cut back! Also it’s less calories, not so great for the diet with around 300 calories in each frappucino its no wonder I have been pilling on the lb’s! Question why is the frappuccino more photogenic than the latte?!

- Instead of those impulse buys or those cute pair of juicy sweats, I need to star buying things which go with most things, last long and can be dressed up or down.
So i hope you like my little ways to help, what are you doing about the credit crunch?

Inspire me

It is not magazines that inspire me to love fashion but it is the modern day and classic fashionistas that inspire me whilist choosing what to wear, or what make up to put on. Some days i feel like channeling audrey hepburn's make up in breakfast at tiffanys and other days i like to channel mischa barton from the oc or even occasionally ashley olsen.

These three people have a special place in my heart, for 3 reasons each.

Audrey- what more do i have to say, the classical beauty, and the represention of my favourite fashion era,the late 50's early 60's.

Mischa- After falling in love with the oc about a year ago, her character and her real life fashion are a real source of inspiration, slightly boho but glamorous and slightly preppy.

Ashley Olsen- i was madly obsessed with the olsen twins when i was younger who were truly my first real fashion inspiration. I'd watch each film or tv series that would come out, and strive to dress like them. My favourite was always ashley and even more so as she grew up. I have to say her recent looks are not my favourite but more so than her sisters hobo chic look.

These are some of my favourite pics for inspiration...






One day, during the holidays, i shall make an "inspire me" book, filled of pictures.

Make Up, Shake it up

Make up is a vital part of fashion in which it completes and finishes your look, its like signature scent, it improves your natural beauty. There are so many make up brands out there and great make up blogs, there is no excuse not to try it out.


There a few principles for getting your look down

1. A great foundation, you may have to try a few to find which is best for you ( make sure you test in natural light)

2. Mascara, Mascara, Mascara..... Even if you are running late, a slick of mascara can give you polished look.

3. Lipgloss, a glossy lip is this generations lipgloss, its fail safe with different shades and finishes from frosty to sheer, it's really a simple thing. The first commercially available lip gloss was Max Factor's X-Rated, launched in 1932 although was discontinued many years ago.



Here are a few pics of my eye make up, i was experimenting with eye shadows that i haven't really used before, Mac Jest and Clarins mono reflect in 12 ( forest).
I am thinking of getting Brown contacts as i think they will suit me better than my natural blue hazel colour. I always had brown eyes until about a few years ago, then overtime they changed.
What do you think?

You will be pleased to know that there will be a weekly beauty post as i feel this blog needs it, Make up is part of fashion and this blog is going to show it.
