They're all just Labels.

When I think about fashion, the designer labels do not appeal to me as much more than the ordinary shops "we" people shop in. For me, fashion is not who you are wearing but it is how you wear it. Like for example, when I watch MTV and see these rap music videos with pimps and hoes wearing all labelled clothing from head to toe, its starting to look kinda cliche to me.

I am not a big fan of designer clothing because, one, I can't afford it haha and two, why bother when you can buy the same style cheaper which then leaves you more money to spend on shopping = more clothes & shoes.

So what if you're wearing Louis Vuitton? or D&G? You are not automatically considered as fashionable. At the end of the day, you are wearing something that looks good and makes you feel good no matter what shop you got it from. That's my spiel. Haha. Goodnight :)





















How many leopards died for that um..tracksuit? lol. Who cares?   It's D&G. Poofters.




The female species' tendency to go OTT on makeup

Listen up ladies! First of all I would like to say that LESS IS DEFINITELY MORE. I don't get why girls wear too much makeup that from a mile away you could see how sparkley their eyelashes are. Haha. But you get what I mean right? Yes we've all seen it before (well most of us anyways) where you walk down the street then BOOM there's a girl with 4inches deep of foundation, bright red lipstick and a harsh orange tan. Wtf.

The key to beauty is simplicity and being natural. Now I'm not saying that makeup is bad, but keep it moderated and you know how people say "Dress for the occasion?" Well the same goes with makeup. If your going to school, there is absolutely no need for the Ronald McDonald face alright? Your not going to a children's birthday party to do tricks. You get the drift.

Here are some tips that everyone probably already know:

  • If you are wearing bright lipstick or gloss, do not wear dark eye makeup.
  • Match the color of your blush to the color of your lips, instead of having it all mismatched all over your face. Not a good look.
  • Do not put those glitter crap on your face as it will make you look like a walking talking disco ball.
  • Do not use a foundation that is too dark for your face as it will not make you look good (obviously), but instead, do the opposite effect.
DO's







DONT's








Now you decide which looks better..





It must be winter..

Some of my favorite winter must haves that I can never live without..

The all important lip balm.

For me it is an essential item to always have in your bag as the cold temperature hits the low. I love the new Nivea Cherry Lip Balm. It smells delicious and the color is amazing as it's not too bright nor pale! Love love love this lippy ❀ 





The scarf.


Okay, now first of all we're not talking about just some old shaggy scarves. We're talking about the ones that you can just wrap around your neck and still look good. They're fat but yet sophisticated. I mean why the hell do people wear scarves that only cover a quarter of their neck when it's 2 degrees outside? I know right? Haha. The tip is to keep it bright, light or dark but also make sure that it's comfy and feels nice against your skin ;)




The high-waisted skirt.

This is probably the one type of clothing that you'll see me where all-the-time! It never gets old. And the good thing about it is, you can dress it up or down depending on the occasion or season lol.
In winter you can wear  it with stockings and boots or a ballet shoes or whatever shoes you like. It's a very versatile style and it comes in different colors!




The all trendy gloves.

You gotta keep your hands warm! this does not mean reaching out for the wooly ones your grandma gave you when you were 12. haha. Now you can get studded ones, glittered ones, fingerless ones, bright ones, and  just strictly for fashion purposes, the one that covers only your fingers (I mean don't be silly okay?!). Well to be honest, I don't really wear gloves or socks because I get claustrophobic. But the point is, it looks good :)







The New GHD IV Stylers

The mother of all straightners. I just got one today and it is totally divine. If you're looking for a hair
straightner to count on, this would be it :) It is the most advanced GHD technology yet as it has an automatic turn-off time of about 30minutes when not being used and it is temperature controlled so it wouldn't get too hot on your hair. They come in 3 different sizes, to suit every type of hairstyles; straight, curled, loose waves or flicks. Cool yeh? I think so too.
