For those of you who are taking part in a Secret Santa this holiday season and have no idea what to get your assigned person, don't worry! Below I have created a gift guide with gifts that will suit any budget!
Hey Guys, It might seem like I fell of the face of the Earth since I was MIA for practically this whole month, but I was just really busy with school and study that I couldn't catch a break to write a post. Since all of my exams are now over (finally!), I have time to relax and catch up on writing posts - I have an exciting line up of posts planned for my lovely readers. Since I didn't post much last month, I decided I would recap all of the things that I was excited about during the month of October in an 'October Favourites' post. This also kicks off the start of a new posting schedule, where at the end of each month I will write about all that inspired me in a 'favourites' post.
This month I loved:
Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub This lip scrub from Lush is amazing! I had never owned a lip scrub before and didn't really see a use for one, but as soon as I got this from Lush I realised what I was missing out on. Whenever my lips are dry and chapped, I just scrub onto my lips a bit of this product, apply lip balm, and voila, my lips are as soft as a baby's butt. The best thing about this product is that once you apply it, you can lick off the excess! - It tastes like bubblegum, hence the name. The lip scrub is edible due to its fresh ingredients which include castor sugar and organic jojoba oil.I absolutely love this product and can't believe I didn't stumble upon it earlier. I will definitely be repurchasing it.
Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Honey Another great lip product is the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in the colour Honey. Balm Stains are great and versatile products that feel super light on your lips. The colour of this balm stain applies very well, does not feel heavy on your lips, and lasts all day long. I use this product alone as well as under lip gloss or lip balm (although it is very moisturising on its own), to add shine. It is a very versatile product and depending on how much you apply, can look lighter or darker - I often opt for a lighter look, so I only go over my lips with the stain lightly once. The best thing about this product is that it tastes like peppermint and is so refreshing for your lips.
Arganmidas Moroccan Argan Oil Fresh Moisturising Cream This product will make your hair look super healthy and shiny. I purchased this product because my hair was really dry and damaged from heat use, and in conjunction with a Pantene hair masque, my hair has become noticeably shinier and healthier. I use this product every day and it makes my hair smooth to the touch. I use it on damp hair if I washed my hair in the shower, and on dry hair other days. This is a great product that can repair damaged hair and keep it looking healthy.
Viva La Juicy Perfume I have been loving Viva La Juicy perfume from Juicy Couture this month. It smells absolutely amazing! It is a fragrance of sparkling fruit and flowers with top notes of wild berries and mandarin, heart notes of honeysuckle, gardenia, and jasmine, and base notes of caramel, vanilla, sandalwood, amber, and praline. I use this perfume everyday, and spray so much on that I have almost finished the bottle (I have never done that with any other perfume). I am a sucker for anything that smells good, and this perfume smells good.
Bethany Mota Aeropostale Collection
This has to be the most exciting news of October! Bethany Mota aka Macbarbie07 on Youtube is set to release her own clothing line at Aeropostale and it is going to be released on the 8th of December! I am so excited for this line because I love Beth's Youtube videos and she has an amazing fashion sense. I can't wait!
I believe fashion counscious people are always open towards new trends. When I decided it was time to start my own fashion blog it was because I felt I couldn't relate to the term "fashionable" in my community.
There are many people who don't understand the term TREND. I can't define it even at this moment, because it's something tricky in it. What is it about trends that makes people all over the world want to buy a maxi skirt or clogs? Is it a good PR strategy or designers just make the best of certain patterns/colors/clothes?
I've always said to myself that I would not be the type of person who wears a thing just because it is IN. However, I do appreciate one thing about trends: they made me realise that some things can be really fun to wear.
Take this clutch/bag for example. I got it with the Nina Ricci perfume couple years ago and I didn't like it at all. Yet, this fall, when sparkles and glitters were all over the stores, in magazines, on fashion blogs it occured to me that I could wear it in many enchanting ways.
As for the Ipod, I love it because it's the closest thing to Iphone. I am a huge Apple fan (although I own a Samsung Galaxy S II) and the new Iphone 4S seems just amazing! They're definetely great products, and I love the quality and the design. I found this site with all kinds of phones at great prices, who knows, I may actually get one in the future.
My question is:
Are there such things as FASHION PET PEEVES or the trends just make us be more open?
I was the lucky host of a slumber party , organised from my name day, as I'm a Mary. It was incredible, especially that the idea ocurred me right in the middle of the day and I only had couple hours to organise the whole event.
Altoghether, it came out great, at least from my sweet mates's sayings or considerring the fact we haven't slept for a minute! Makeup, photoshoots, goodies and chocolate, Vogue magazine marathon- more like a tribute to the fact it was Vogue's Night Out in all the fashionable places all over the world. Also, I have discovered a new dreamy perfume: Gucci Envy Me!
Nevertheless, thank you mommy and daddy for bearing up with all the noise!
Nina Ricci limited edition perfume for Sephora, Accesorize bracelet
So sorry for my lack of posts, but I had some really rough days, and it all culminated with a very difficult exam. Anyways, I'm so happy it's almost holiday time!!!!! Naturally, you get bored studying on and on so I took couple of photos in a break which really show my current mood. I feel like dressing up in pastels, dancing on fluffy clouds and being admired for my allure, by Nina Ricci. Yess, I could say that Nina Ricci's perfume line is DIVINE, also the cremes which really make my skin glow! This post also reveals my secret love for cute little girlie things like the antique cristal lotus or my ballerina shaped accesory hanger.
