Pick of the week August 2013

Hiya

I was worrying a couple of months ago that I couldn't find anything that was really my style in the shops and was starting to wig out a bit, but fear no more as there is so much style I love out at the moment  i'm spoilt for choice.

I think i'll cover a bit of everything today from fashion to make up to give you a heads up of some of the good stuff :)




Lips: Now it's true I have a bit of a thing (crush) on OCC so i'm of course putting in a link to their lip tars, but just be warned they come out the colour as on the tube. Let me be clear these are high colour lip glosses that look amazing on shoots and photos, but may not be your cup of tea for a day at the office. Then again that would depend on your office :)

http://www.occmakeup.com/lips.html This will take you straight to the lip page on the American site as i'm aware a lot of readers are from that neck of the woods.






Blogs: 

Kenza Zouiten and her blog on style and fashion

 

I think her blog is super cute and it I think one of the biggest blogs in Sweden at the moment. She's like a daily does of what to wear and will take pictures and show what's she's wearing and who by.

 

 

Obviously the blog is in Swedish as that's the language she writes in but have to fear if you are not fluent as the Google translate bar is on the left hand side of the blog which will convert it into any other language. I have translated it and hopefully pasted the blog's English version, but we will have to see if it works. I'm not the best with technology as you are more then aware.

 Sea of Shoes is the personal style blog of Jane Aldridge.

She has a blog out a while back about Patti Hansen and it's lovely to see some timeless beauty from the past being brought back to focus

Here is the link to her site and this blog article

Hi all.

Wow i am so beyond being tardy on my blog upkeep. To be honest my world has kind of been a whirlwind of opportunities and work and childcare planning and diet coke over the last couple of months/ the whole of this year - i cannot believe it is April already!

So as you know i started this blog to discuss fashion and trends, but it turned out i liked to write more about what i had seen and what i liked more then maybe what was in style ha, so i branched out a little into some tutorials of nail art and wrote a little about my blogging and the events i was blogging for.

That was great for a while, but the passion for makeup and hair styling kind of over ran everything else and left me at home practising on anything with a face, including my boyfriend instead of honing my writing craft and writing my blog.

I have been very fortunate that my makeup ride has been a great one and I feel i have done very well for myself in the short space of time that I have been in the makeup industry. I'm planning on writing some more blogs on makeup as i seem to be far more knowledgeable about how to apply eyeliner and the eye makeup on the catwalk then i am about the outfits and what colours to wear. However for those of you that use me as a style bible (yes sarcasm) i will stick my 2penneth in when i see things i like and don't like.

 This for example 3.1 Phillip Lim handbag is so stunning it makes my brian hurt. Granted the bag would not sit so well over my denim cutoffs and flouncy blouse but i would cherish that bag to the point where only my fave lipglosses and one kids toy would be allowed santuary in there.

For those of you interested it can be found on net-a-porter's website http://www.net-a-porter.com/Shop/Designers/31_Phillip_Lim/Bags?level3Filter=&pn=1&npp=60&image_view=product&dScroll=0 in case any of you lucky ladies, or metro's out there happen to be earning some extra money and are looking to treat yourself.


Touch Eclat by YSL is my make up must have of today. Light diffusing gorgeous coloured highlighter that can be applied under the eyes, similar to concealer but that really wakes up the eye and brings that glow to the eye area.
It can be found anywhere really but for arguments sake i've included a link to the John Lewis site
http://www.johnlewis.com/yves-saint-laurent-touche-eclat-complexion-highlighter/p37503?kpid=230645616&s_kenid=6a891f15-b10f-6249-8b54-000025a59fb1&s_kwcid=106x65643&tmad=c&tmcampid=73

So there we have it kids. Any questions please do e-mail me or send them over via a comment and if i know the answer or the way to achieve a certain look i will gladly answer it for you
