The calm after the storm

What I Wore



Gap shirt
Zara shorts
Topshop clogs
Necklace from Egypt
Lady Danger lipstick

Sorry for the lack of captions but I think the picture speak for themselves. It was a STUNNING show and despite being about 50 centigrade in the tent, it was totally and utterly worth it.

---------------------------

I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow... I'm so nervous! Don't you find that as soon as you decide to cut your hair, it starts looking good and behaving itself?

I'm going to HQ Hair salon on New Burlington Street so I'll be reporting back on that for my next post :) I've been there a few times before a few years back so I'm interested to see how they're doing. I'm also excited to browse all the amazing products they have in store!

Love,

Benefit from Glamour

Hello lovelies,

I am on a blogging roll! It's so nice to be free of exam stress and I'm in the mood to start blogging like crazy :)

I wanted to share some new purchases of mine:

Firstly - Of course I had to get these wonderful freebies! This months edition of Glamour magazine only came out yesterday and already the products are sweeping the blogosphere. I haven't managed to get an It stick yet (oh but I will!) but I managed to snag these 2 from the nearest 2 newsagents to my house. Each newsagent only had 1 copy of Glamour each! I don't think they got the memo that they'll be selling like hot cakes because of the Benefit freebies :)

The silly thing is that I actually already have the BadGal liner pencil but I thought I'd get a backup - you can never have enough of a good thing right? Do I hear you say "make up addict"? Hush now. But I highly recommend the liner - its the only product out of the 3 I've used before. It's a lovely smudgy intense black kohl eyeliner, perfect for dramatic smoky eyes.. what I really need now is a pencil sharpener for large pencils!

Alternatively, if there are any international readers who would like me to send them a copy of UK Glamour sealed with the BadGal pencil then I'd be happy to do that at cost + P&P.

Just leave me a comment!

This is my minimal make up today - I'm getting so lazy about my hair and have taken to just sweeping it up in any manner and braiding random bits. Please excuse the random trailing ipod earphone, I was watching Tali's new video whilst taking these pictures :)

Products used:

Bare Minerals foundation in Light

Rimmel London Orion Eye palette on my eyes (2 lighter colours)

No 7 Lash 360 Mascara

Bobbi Brown Rose Shimmer brick on cheeks

Korres Monoi Oil bronzer in Sunglow Warm 02 (IN LOVE)

MAC Florabundance lipgloss (ALSO IN LOVE)

And my outfit of the day:

Cardigan - Lungta de Fancy (Korean brand, bought from London Fashion Weekend)

Crochet detail fuchsia top - Zara (this has subtle kimono sleeves and is casual and really pretty)

Dark blue jeggings - A market in Hong Kong

Pastel peach brogues - Primark (Surprisingly comfortable and waterproof... I tested this when I got caught in torrential rain in Oxford!)

Blog sale goodies from Rowena at Cosmetic Candy :) One of my favourite make up bloggers and a personal inspiration and guru who has helped me hone my formerly scattered and uninformed approach to make up!

I think Row must have sent these by rocket mail because they arrived in the flashest of flashes!

What I bought:

Korres Monoi Oil Bronzing Powder in 02 Sunglow Warm

LOVE THIS. So much. Subtle bronzing goodness.

Korres Cherry Lip Gloss

Holy pigmentation! This packs a punch with the most gorgeous berry stain. I absolutely love this colour and can't wait to wear it to go for summer evening cocktails and dancing.

MAC Lipglass in Florabundance

You all know and love this :) I'm wearing it on my lips now and have included a gratuitous lip shot. It doesn't show up as much of a colour on my lips but just adds a lovely sheen and evens out the colour of them.

FILTHY, YOUNG AND GORGEOUS

Self-explanatory title

(All images taken from the Zara ad campaign on www.zara.com)

Incidentally, I SO wish that I'd taken/registered that domain when I had the chance back when the internet first took off... I actually have a valid legal defence for doing so too because it's my name! I would now be a rich bitch from them buying it off me. Ohhhh well!

------------------------------------

What an insanely beautiful collection. Zara is always right on the money with their collections and they just get better and better. Have you noticed that they don't need to do any advertising outside of the campaign pictures they have in their store windows?

AND..... I just received the sheepskin coat in the last image as a well-chosen birthday present. LOVE.

Trautes Heim, Glück allein.

Action shot! 

Met up with my family today and enjoyed a day off from studying to wander around Chinatown and have a gluttonous dinner in a pub near Barnes. I see my family so little that it's almost strange to be all together! We are very loud :)

I got the poncho in a market in Oxford - What do you think? 

I was actually a little nervous about wearing it! "Why?", you may ask.....

My last venture into the world of ponchos was when I was 12 and I completely thought I was working my new hippie poncho. I noticed a boy looking at me whilst I was waiting to be picked up and thought he was admiring my fashion savvy..........

....... until he came over and was like 

"Excuse me........ Why are you dressed like Jesus?" :-( 

I ran home crying to my mum and haven't worn one until now. Hurtful at the time but I think I'm over it, just ;-)

Yay for outdoor pictures again!

Poncho - Vintage

Ruffled top - Zara
