Leopard Print eyes

Its the party season, and only 5 days untill christmas! This is a look that I used after I discovered something similar on Youtube ages ago however im not sure what video it was so sorry on that front, however this is what I did and some images of similar things.

• Firstly yourll need to pick a bright colour, I used hot pink however you could use a rich light blue or a metalic green its completely up to you. You need to apply this all over the eye over a layer of foundation (this will help it stick to the eyelid). To apply the colour simply pat onto the eye with a brush or even your finger, this will give you better colour and coverage.
• Secondly you need a liquid eyeliner, this part may need some practise! I simply used "C" shaped blobs as well as simple "dot" shapes to give the leopard print appeal.I did this from the middle of the eyelid out (see below).
• After this apply a layer of mascara on both top and bottom lashes and your done! p.s i used bright pink mascara this would work if you used pink too.

This is my finished look,



Hope you can see! It started to fade as I had, had it on a while.

My cat/leopard finished look

 (Please do not use my personal images without concent) Below is some other leopard print products that caught my eye.

Batiste dry shampoo

Dior eyeshadow and nail varnish

Extreme colour blocking brights

Recently in the depths of winter I have been stuck in the same colour palete being browns blacks and beige's, dont get me wrong I love the simplicity and sophisticated look they can create but I have recently wanted to go out of my comfort zone and try blocks of bright colour.

Hot pink with Black a more toned down aproach

Full on brights

My blue coat (not a personal photo)

These pictures are from the Alice + Olivia Resort 2012 which I came across after searching for colour blocking looks for 2012 s/s. The top one is one I thought I could recreate as I love the hot pink.The blue coat is a coat I purchased a couple of years back ive always been unsure to wear it because it is so bright but I think I might wear it now to add some needed colour to my look.

Fringes or Bangs

Hey! Long time since I did a post it has been a busy year! Anyway, this post is about fringes and bangs, I recently cut my fringe shorter than normal as a full fringe and im mixed on whether I like it or not. Fringes and bangs have been seen on many and I think that they are very flattering depending on what face shape you have.They do however take a lot of work and effort if you are thinking of having one too because especially with dark roots they tend to look greasy a lot even after washing so yourll need your bastiste dry shampoo by the bulkload!

Amy Lee

Zooey Deschanel

Mischa Barton

All of these looks are amazing I think they look especially good in brown hair especially on Zooey on her recent Rimmel ad campaigns shown above. Im not ready to dye my hair however, Im dark blonde.

Cat Eyeliner

I have been inspired recently by Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn again for their iconic beauty and have been trying to create the look (which was very famous during the 1950's and 1960's) which is the thick cat eyeliner. I think that the look is very glamorous and something quite simple so at the same time it can be worn everyday.

The best way to wear this is with matte perfect skin with a hint of blush, and possibly a red lip this will help to recreate Marilyns look and for Audrey ditch the red lip and pair the eyeliner with a pale colour instead (this is what she would usually wear, but she is wearing a darker tone in the photograph shown).

Chloe

Make-up used at the fashion show

Possibly my fav' look

Another fav' look

An interesting bag shape!

I have always been a fan of Chloe since I saw the fashion show (not actually there though i wud of liked to have been) A/W 2010 and ever since I have been following the clothes seen in each season. These are a few picks of the latest collection A/W 2011/2012. It is again very classic looking and looks expensive but understated which seems to be a theme with Chloe clothes and accessaries. I picked my two favourites looks from the Chloe Lookbook found on the chloe website, www.chloe.com .

French Plaits / Braids

French Plaits

Plaits seen at Alexandre Wang

The length I want!

I have only just found out from several You tube videos how to do a French Plait but I'm really loving the results. I really wish my hair would grow faster as I LOVE the length of the hair shown in the last picture just have to wait!

The first picture looks to have taken ages! Its almost perfect and looks amazing, I'm guessing that they simply did French plaits down each side of the head and then twisted the two plaits into a bun.

This look could easily be worn for a daily basis by having a side messy plait like the second and third pictures, this look is very undone but at the same time very chic.

My new bag! - Fringed

This is a new bag I bought its by Claudia Canova its a beige coloured leather fringed bag which I really love! I found similar ones on Kate Hudson and Mary-kate as shown.I think its bang on trend and fits with my love of boho style and easy understated chic.Fringed things are all over the place right now and it is gunna stay that way for a while i think! So get fringed!!
