Forgotten pieces…

Forgotten pieces of jewellery that is. 
I tend to hang my ‘everyday’ use items on my mirror so the items in my jewellery box sometimes go forgotten. So today I decided to look through it, and I found…
some rings from when I was around 10yo (they never fit then but do now?!),
a giant (fake) gold bug and random necklaces,
crystal earrings & necklace/bracelet set,
a large collection of pearls (most real, others just play things)

I was surprised to see I have about 6 pearl necklaces; a girl should always have a set of pearls handy, but 6? I’m also a little curious as to when I ever thought I would wear an expensive crystal necklace/bracelet set at university. Well, let’s hope something pops up!

Sneak peek

A sneak peek at my Christmas party dress; lace & a perfect silhouette
I plan to snazz it up with fancy tights and some bling.
Have you guys picked out your Christmas/New Years outfits?

A girl can dream…

Celine, Topshop, Michael Kors, Twenty8Twelve, Marc by Marc Jacobs…


Ananya’s recent post reminded me that I have a Polyvore and also that I don’t use it enough. In fact I have only used it once in the three years since I signed up.

So I decided to start using it again. It’s a great way to create fashion codes and get an idea of what you like, want etc. I tend to go blind shopping sometimes, so this is pretty useful to me. The above set is one that kind of says what I love right now: metallics, sparkles, wedge shoes, red lipstick, black & gold.

Photo Diary; Paris meets India

Paris-Delhi-Bombay…India through the eyes of Indian & French artists…Exhibit
Centre Pompidou (4th arrondissment) holds the largest museum for Modern Art in Europe. I’m a big fan of modern art so I didn’t want to miss out on the chance to visit. Students also get in at a reduced price.

I don’t like to over saturate my photo diary posts…
I do have more from my visit here, which I will post periodically.

The new line of Dollywink products by Koji & Tsubasa Masuwaka

When producing this new line Tsubasa said she did it with a cute, but not fake or artificial look in mind. She wanted to create something for an ‘Otona’ (adult) look, that would still allow girls to be stylish.

I know the new eyelashes have not been greeted well, but I personally like them. I think they’re simple, adult and will add that little something extra to a girls make-up, without looking too OTT – which I believe is what Tsubasa had in mind. I don’t really use eyebrow products so those aren’t of interest to me. The only thing I’m a little upset about is the design on the eye lash case, I feel it’s lacking slightly.

Discuss; Puffy Eye-bag Trend

Getting rid of puffy and noticeable bags under the eyes is something that most women battle with in their daily make-up routine. So when I saw a recent make-up tutorial in Popteen that was specifically to achieve puffy eye bags I was slightly taken aback.

The idea behind it is to create a smiley, innocent looking face.
What do you think? Will you be re-creating this look?

I personally like the idea, it’s very wholesome and sweet…however I do wonder if maybe just smiling more would work better. I don’t think I will be trying this, but I’d be interested to see others who have.

Wine & Gold

So I’ve come down with a pretty bad cold, hence the lack of posts.
I do apologise and I will update properly as soon as I recover.
For now, just a small visual of some recent nails.
I love the wine trend lately, and also on a bit of a gold kick.
Surely it makes sense to put the two together then, no?
